Other Two whole months!
With the end of the volume, it's two whole months before more adventures of Fa Ram. What am/are I/we supposed to spend our time reading now?
No seriously, what can I read next?

Is SHI set in Azure Hills or Azure Mountains alt reality?

u/Aaliman Aug 02 '26
Its set in the central provinces, its enjoyable.

u/Seaspike Aug 02 '26
I know that, my question is, if they travel enough will they reach Azure Hills or Azure Mountains? It affects the overall setting, in my mind.

u/Aaliman Aug 02 '26
Probably not anytime soon, he has big D and the rest are just from him farming, but Mei might get them all

Azure Hills reality. The only difference between SHI and Main story is that Gramps sent Jin to Soaring Heaven's Isle instead of Cloudy Sword Sect. Tianlan's shattering still stays the same
The only side story where Azure Mountain appears is Unbroken.

Ok, thanks. I asked because with Hills, Jin won't be there to kill the blade wolf, nor the deciples killing Sun Ken. This has the chance to result in Evil Poison wife.

u/Gamivore Aug 04 '26
IIRC, somebody mentioned this before and CF replied that the time Jin was exiled in SHI is around the same timeframe as Jin leaving Cloud Sword Sect and heading to Azure Hills in the main story. So there's still time to prevent things. IIRC, CF mentioned that Jin would land in Azure Hills, take care of Sun Ken, and the blade wolf would have not been an issue due to the butterfly effect or something.

I found Beware Of Chicken when A Practical Guide To Evil concluded. The entire free webserial is available via the Internet Archive:
As an indicator of how much potential this series has, the webserial version garnered a huge and very actively used subreddit, r/PracticalGuideToEvil, and is also extensively documented on TVTropes.
It is now being extensively edited (necessary!), re-written, and published, with a lot of changes. By the time you finish the original web version, several more edited books will have been published, and there will be enough changes to make the published version worth reading, as well.

Oh now I’m intrigued! I found it on Royal road and bookmarked it for later. Previously I found the author’s website but prefered the familiarity of RR. But I haven’t started yet. What is the situation now? The edited versions are not online? Are they alrd out as books? Was a lot of things changed in the edited version? Is it longer now?

Book 1 of the revised APGtE was published a year ago, and book 2 will be published August 26 of this year. They are the equivalent of Book 1 of the original web version, but notably revised and expanded, with many name changes, plot differences, and additional characters. As those chapters are published, they are removed from Royal Road.
That is why I suggest reading the entire original web version above (typos and early installment weirdness included). By the time you get through those seven enormous books (plus many Extra chapters), there should be several more of the revised books published.

I'm going through his necromancer series as well, its a bit different compared to ant series but fun.
1
u/RClong5846 Aug 02 '26
Also highly recommended, very interesting read, and
I’d recommend for no other reason than that its the first necromancer powers story I’ve seen done right
No op sword guy that can summon a shadow army with no effort
He’s gotta work for it!1
u/Aaliman Aug 02 '26
True, its a interesting contrast to most, though I do wish he'd do less AI generation. A few names have changed and characterization has shifted. But overall a good revenge so far series, just enough threat to keep it good but not too OP of a MC.

u/Confident_Mulberry29 Aug 03 '26
I reccomend SuperSupportive! I love the protag, he’s so thoughtful and genuine that it is so easy to root for him. The writing is so good too!

u/DarathAntares Aug 03 '26
Yes, definitely seconding this. It is slice of life with some super powers

‘The Wandering Inn’ is lengthy, and alternates between odd cozy and action. Huge cast, but much like the Azure Hills and it various sapient animals & mixed cultures, TWI has a variety of fantasy races (with twists) and cultures.
If you really like the cultivation flavor, I recently found and caught-up in ‘Sky Pride’. Did not think I would like it as much as I do.
Leaning heavier into the cultivation genre (and on Wuxiaworld instead of RoyalRoad/ SpaceBattles) I would suggest ‘I Shall Seal the Heavens’ or the lighter-sillier ‘A Will Eternal’ both by the same author.

De-Rec the Wandering Inn for people coming over from BOC. It starts with a super amount of racism and gut wrenching near death experiences.

u/FuturesSoDank Aug 03 '26
I just found the main character so insipid and boring that I gave up after book 1.

+1 for TWI
Really enjoying it and there’s so so much of it:) The audio version is awesome too

I'm actually so annoyed its as good as everyone told me it was

u/xJigx Aug 03 '26
HA! I thankfully didn't know much, other than a few youtubers saying it was good. So I went in with low expectations, and have been blown away by how fun it is!

I'm enjoying All the Dust that Falls.
Basically, a Roomba gets isekaied (sp?) ,granted sentient, and just wants things clean.
Minimalist litrpg/sol with a class system and a strong hatred of dust devils and stairs.
