So I’ve been reading The Wandering Inn, which is amazing btw, but it’s started getting a little intense and I want to take a break for a bit. I wanted to read something similar, and I like how serious the author takes the topic. Does anyone have any recommendations? I’ve already blasted through Hedge Wizard and Arcane Ascension for additional references.

Edit: here’s a compiled list of the recommendations so far, and where I’m putting them.

Currently Reading: Cradle

To-Read: Practical Guide to Evil, Bastion, Mother of Learning

To Check Out: Beware of Chicken, Only Villains Do, Way of Choices,

This feels like a pretty solid list, but I’ll update as I go.

  • As much as I hate to say it, adequate prose is really important to me. I find it hard to read around lines, and thus have missed out on a lot of great stories. If they have an official translation though, I’d love to check it out!

    • I actually may have been too harsh on the translation, i reread the first few chapters after writing my comment and it’s a lot better than I remembered. It still doesn’t have the best prose in the world, on account of the fact that the author writes in a very poetic and hard to translate in english way, but if you ever feel like it you could try reading the prologue to get a sense of whether you’ll like it or not. Unfortunately I doubt we’ll see a translation more official than this one, the distribution rights are owned by Webnovel.
