Thousands of planets are dead or dying including Earth. People and places are threaded together on a hexagonal grid. Vin is one of the lucky people who will arrive first in this new world. He homeless with a great need to explore and find new friend.

Firebrand by D.E. Olesen aka Quill

Firebrand is a magic school progression fantasy that takes place in a ancient roman flavored setting. It is a slow burn progression where the character development and power growth feels natural and earned. All of the characters feel interesting with their quirks, but still grounded in how people act. The larger scale politics and actions of countries are fun to learn about and are relevant to story as a whole. The magic system is classic fantasy magic in a lot of areas, but with an interesting twist that the magic is very dependent on person perspective and societal ideals.

Firebrand | Royal Road

Sing the story, bard, of the Firebrand. He, the youth who saved Morcaster from ruin. He, the warrior who defeated an empire. He, the archmag

Martel comes from a small farming village, but is sent to the magic school Lyceum where magic talents are taught and employed where their talents would best utilized. Martel's secret is that he is a fire touched whose only natural talent is fire and destruction.

Starkad is my favorite character.

The Zombie Knight Saga By George M. Frost

Zombie Knight Saga or ZKS cause I am lazy is my absolute favorite web novel. It has over 3000 pages and been in progress for over 10 years of and on by it's author Frost but mostly keeping a rate of one page a day.

It is a modern setting progression fantasy with hundreds of interesting characters. monolithic scale in terms of the small day to day people and the incredibly powerful organizations. The story starts fun but slow and tricks you into learning all about his world and caring about every character.

The power system is unlike any other I have seen and creates engaging fights with a solid basis on how the powers of the story work. If you like weird but solid power systems you will love this.

A dark serial novel. Free to read, contemporary fantasy. Mature language. Updated by ~500 words every night at midnight EST.

Delve by SenescentSoul

Delve is an litRPG isekai where the main character was transported to a world with magic and a video game like progression system. The main character is flawed and relies on his friends. And he when he comes to the setting he has no advantages not to mention cant speak the language. The perspective frequently changes perspectives to other interesting characters and explores their view. The fact it is a litRPG usually is a red flag for me but the author's obsession with numbers means that at no point it feels that the author uses stats or power as a substitute for good writing or character development. The cultures of the world and organizations feel natural for the magic and power system.

Delve | Royal Road

Summary – Level 1: Delve is an isekai litrpg that follows an average guy who just happened to wake up in a forest one day. He wasn’t summone

spoilers

Rain the main character starts in a forest full of giant monsters and was luckily found by an adventuring group that is mostly full of paranoid power hungry superhumans with a career of violence. With luck persuasion and a little kindness the incredibly weak MC gets back to the nearest town with minimal harm. homeless and in pajamas with no good way to make money the story starts.

more spoilers

I love Tallheart and Staavo.

Mark of the Fool. By J.M. Clarke (U Juggernaut)

Mark of the Fool is an almost complete web novel that takes place in a high fantasy world that seems to be inspired from both classic fantasy and modern versions like D&D. It is a progression fantasy that avoids the power fantasy problems. The magic system and world are top notch, and a wide cast of fully developed characters.

Mark of the Fool | Royal Road

Hello, folks, just to tell ya, chapters 8 to 633 have been published on Kindle and Audible. That's up to book 7. The audiobook is narrated
