I also don't like a lot of the litRPG genre, especially the ones that have Isakai elements. It's like the only thing they ever watched was...
If someone's story starts off with a reluctant thief that ends up finding a sentient item that is the key to saving civilization and said item is...
Ah this old joke. I probably should just get around to changing it.
I've recently returned to writing and i've come one with a few ideas that i've been hammering out, but they all showed me that i have a major flaw...
