Yep. The easiest way I can describe the average litrpg is like "imagine something off fanfiction.net but maybe a little more engaging and not obviously based on pre-existing work", which is fine imo as long as it isn't the ONLY stuff you're reading. I'm pretty picky about grammar/dialogue too but at the end of the day as long as the litrpg I'm reading scratches the 'i wanna read about a magical world' itch I get here to there, I'll forgive a lot of just really clunky writing as long as it is very clearly not AI.

The average piece of fiction on RoyalRoad is Grade S slop though and that's why you'll never catch me reading anything off it - even the stuff I do think genuinely should be published and I'd be fine with displaying on my bookshelf to people - where others can see me. God forbid I have to explain to some guy sitting next to me on the bus wtf litrpg is, I think I'd immediately be like "i've read actual books recently too you know....d-do you want to talk about those instead??"

My number 1 guilty pleasure I've said it before in other threads! I yearn to be like your wife, I can't imagine casting ANYTHING I'm reading onto a TV for even my partner to see lol. I was reading If You Could See Me Now by Peter Straub for the first time a few weeks ago on the bus sitting next to someone after I'd grabbed it out of a Little Library otw to the stop and they were very clearly reading it over my shoulder with me & the book basically opens with the main character skinny dipping with his cousin and I was just sitting there reading & thinking to myself "this dude probably thinks I'm a FREAK" lol
