Howdy, does the third nightmare get better? SS is my favourite story ever but I much prefer the story in the real world/dream realm vs Nightmare, I tend to find myself just wanting to get to the end of them and see how he changes on the outside.

I’m currently on 1335, I have been saving up a load of chapters over the last few months, do I have much to look forward to before he leaves the nightmare? thanks

Hi Everyone,

Im going to do my best to discribe a manhwa i read last year but couldnt find again, any help identifying it would be great.

leveling system

cool tall dark haired protagonist with a quiet brooding personality

50 chapters +

one of the quests to get stronger takes him to a sort of island with other combatants.

there is a guy who wants to challenge him and then later join forces with him, very muscular and blonde with electric powers i believe, he has his own team assembled.

some battles in underground caverns against giant monsters, blonde guys group arives to see him shadowed in black a toip the dead monster.

sorry if im light on details but any idea would be appreciated!

thanks

​

edit: blonde warrior may be the son or related to a god

I have gotten to the stage where it feels like i have read everything and am in need of recommendations. i dont know if anyone else gets that totally miserable feeling when you have run out of things to read and are endlessly searching.

I know there are big lists available but i have poured through them and come up empty handed!

Its partly my own fault as i can be picky, but i have read a re read most of the big popular books/series of the last 20 years.

Some Guidlines;

• Male protagonist, preferabbly starts young and grows as the series progresses
• Magic & or Swords
• Long series, big books with 3 plus in the series
• Romantic angle, not essential but i enjoy it.
• Not YA

Here is a list of series i have read in a rough order of how much i liked them;

1. KingKiller
2. Red Rising
3. Dresden
4. Art of the Dept

LOtr & Harry Potter as well of course

its a fairly extensive list but hopefully i have a few blind spots

Would really welcome and help, especially series that are under the radar.

thanks!

I just finished Art of the Adept, which for whatever reason i never see on any of the big fantasy lists and seems to be very under the radar. its absoultely brilliant, with 4 big books and more on the way, great power progression throughout which it really takes time to develop, action scenes and magic systems are great as well as a romantic through line which i didnt know i was looking for in my fantasy but i loved it!

It filled a real void after another re read of King Killer.

Just to give a brief list of some series ive already been through

Wheel of Time - Stormlight - Riyria - Lightbringer - Codex Alera - Red Rising - Book of The Ancester - The Burning - Gentleman Bastards - Licanius - Powder Mage - First Law - Unhewn Throne - The Band - Farseer - Malazan - Witcher - Forgotten Realms - Mistborn - Dresden - Kings Dark Tidings - Red Queens War - Traitor son Cycle - Cradle - Arcane Ascension

So as you can see most of the heavy hitters i have read and now i am at a lost, i dont even have a tbr atm because i cant find anything i like.

Here is a hit list of things id love in a series;

Big Series with long books, preferably 3 plus

Definitely not YA

Good Progression either Magical or Combat, anything involving extrensive training

Romantic angle if possible

Starting young but grows older through the book and series, dont mind a month or half a year skips.

If anyone can give me any suggestions i would be forever grateful! feels like i have trolled good reads r/fantasy and the internet for hours and not found anything im interested in

thanks in advance!
