    A style of writing that features aspects taken from RPGs like leveling up, interfaces, skills, and other stuff. Usually fantasy with some kind of game element that the main character and/or other characters have access to.

    A popular example is Dungeon Crawler Carl.

        I’m at the end of the third book now. Was a bit skeptical when I started on the series, but it does a good job mixing humour and very dark morbid fuckery in a way that doesn’t feel heavy handed yet is still engaging.

        I like it.

            So far no minotaur fuckery, but there’s been baby murdering, using babies as fuel, mass genocide, filicide, slavery… It’s a lot!

              No minotaurs in the rest that I recall, but your list will grow to include incest, bug chasing, neck vore, not to mention to frequent foot stuff and smushing that you’ve clearly already gotten used to. And the orgies, explicit and implied. All the strippers. Multiple kinds of transformation. Exhibitionism, which reminds me of an additional kind of transformation.
              And the saddest story about a little bird

                I’m not sure I’d put foot fetishisation in the same list as genocide, but I’m not really into either of these things so I’m perhaps not the best person to ask.

                  Haha, I was going more for extending the minotaur list, not the genocide one. Adding to that list feels more spoiler intensive. I see how you’re expanding on the dark morbid thread, I just had my mind in the gutter
