Top Reddit reviews mentioning Dark Fantasy books:
Was coming here to make this exact comment. If this premise sounds fun to anyone, you REALLY should check out this book. It's stellar.
I've been working on The Good Guys, it is 7 books long currently, and quite enjoying it. There's also a second series, 2 books currently, set in the same world named The Bad Guys, but I haven't read them yet. They are set in a fantasy world with people from our world transported there, no VR or anything.
I haven't played the game, but I do have bound collections of ESO lore I got from Amazon.
No, but they'll be released slowly. The volume 1 pre-order is on sale at Amazon at $27, plus there is an Amazon coupon for 10% and another for $5 off.
Deluxe Volume 1: https://www.amazon.com/Berserk-Deluxe-1-Kentaro-Miura/dp/1506711987/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1544846357&sr=8-1&keywords=berserk+deluxe
Deluxe Volume 2: https://www.amazon.com/Berserk-Deluxe-2-Kentaro-Miura/dp/1506711995/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1544846357&sr=8-2&keywords=berserk+deluxe
If you mean like a three-in-one type of deal, yes - Berserk Deluxe. It's paperback, pages are bigger and, yeah, that's all I know. First one's out in just a few days, second will be released in July and the third's coming in November, with more on the way.
If you're aiming on picking up volume 1, I recommend going here on Amazon as the price is down to 35 USD, (shipping not included, but still).
Também sou fã de sci-fi , vou conferir sua dica. Ano passado li os livros da série The Expanse e são ótimos. O ultimo livro da serie saí no final do ano.
Nesse hiato acabei encontrando um genero de livros que não conhecia , o LitRPG. Que é basicamente um isekai ocidental. Esbarrei na série de livros "The Good Guys" escrito pelo Eric Ugland e nessa brincadeira já li 11 livros dessa série e 6 livros de uma serie irmã "The Bad Guys".
Nunca pensei que fosse achar uma série de livros tão divertida, mesmo não sendo fã de fantasia.
Infelizmente não há tradução para o Português, mas fica a dica.
No, for some reason the link shows the normal book, if you look on the amazon page or click the hardcover tab on their website it is a new cover. Now I'm not saying it's as cool as other anniversary editions I've seen (I personally love the cover of the UK 20th Anniversary Edition of Assassin's Apprentice), but it is a completely new, if basic, cover.
It is on Amazon. Here's the share link from the page.
The Name of the Wind: 10th Anniversary Deluxe Edition (Kingkiller Chronicle) https://www.amazon.com/dp/0756413710/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_0gZIzb5MYNK7P
I always use amazon. I reccomend buying berserk deluxe edition first. Its a premium hardcover book that comes with the first three volumes. Its pretty cheap right now at about 27$ nearly half the usual price.
Berserk Deluxe Volume 1 https://www.amazon.com/dp/1506711987/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_kFw3CbEB9KH1C
I would recommend either:
the Deluxe Volume 1 physical copy for about $35 which includes the first 3 volumes,
or you can buy the first 4 volumes from Dark Horse digital for $30.
While you get more story and content for a lower price going the digital route, with the physical deluxe edition you at least have the option of re-selling it at a decent price, if it doesn't suit your fancy.
You could try going the free route, but quality suffers quite a bit from poor scans and translations.
Either way, first 3 volumes at a minimum before reserving judgement. Volume 3 does end in a middle of an important event, though, just as a warning.
Heres an amazon.ca link for them as well :)
The only Berserk anime I liked and would recommend is the 1997 version. All the episodes are on YouTube! The dub is surprisingly really good and the sound track is great. It’s important to know that each anime adaptation has its own problems and leaves out a lot in regards to the story.
As for manga, I’m waiting to get paid this weekend to start my journey. From stuff I’ve read online, a good way of reading the manga is through the volume collection. Click here: berserk manga volume 1 to see what I’m talking about.
Overall, I’ve fallen in love with the lore and the incredible story of Berserk. I’ve never been so anxious to read a manga before! I hope this was helpful.
Those are pretty!! I've never seen these printings before!
EDIT - Amazon link for those interesting in owning their own
Oh, no problem. Well, I linked the amazon link above, just in case I did win, it would make it easier to find.
https://www.amazon.com/Name-Wind-Anniversary-Kingkiller-Chronicle/dp/0756413710
But if it isn't available, the paper back edition is great. I'm old, like physical books, and my wife hogs the Kindle. :)
Long Walk is in the Backman Books and I actually have Dolores Claiborne but I was about to get rid of it because I heard it wasn’t great. I’ll have to keep that one then, thanks! The Dark Tower set is right here . It’s only $75 for a limited time before it goes back up to $150.Go to my account and I’ll post pictures of the books and the box itself (that’s the only way I can think of to do it because I don’t know how to use imgur sorry). Here’s the link to the Amazon account. The books themselves seem to stay in nice condition.
I dont have the box set but I have book one; want to get the blue one next! You can also search on Amazon or Ebay for the collector’s edition books. I recently got the one from The Imperial Edition.
Having only seen the show for The Witcher (don’t have funds for the books yet!) and only a vague plot synopsis of American Gods, I’m gonna throw out the book series I’ve been consumed by for the last year: The Dark Tower series by Stephen King. Yes, as in “that horror guy.” It’s different than anything else he’s written by a long shot. It’s a dark fantasy/Western/dystopian sci-fi hybrid. The main character is essentially John Wayne meets King Arthur, which is also a pretty good plot synopsis. Very unpredictable in a good way, with a (personally) super satisfying ending. Whole series can be bought here:
A warning, though: the first book is not very representative of the series as a whole. It’s more of a prologue to the main story. The pacing shifts from the first to the second book, with the first being more about setting up the world and atmosphere for the series. In other words, power through the first book and onto the second. If the second doesn’t hook you by the end of part 1, feel free to give up, since it may not be for you.
Another note: Stephen King has tied the series into a number of his works. I don’t know your tastes regarding horror, but the only ones that I would consider essential are Salem’s Lot and Insomnia. Insomnia’s more of a thriller and not as necessary as Salem’s Lot. (A character from SL appears in Dark Tower, which is why it’s pretty essential.) Both should probably be read between books 4 and 5. The midquel, Wind through the Keyhole, that King wrote after the series could be skipped and saved for later or read between Insomnia and Salem’s Lot. I have a more extended list I can comment if you’re interested.
The Good guys by Eric Ugland. The MC is similar in that he does not put points in Inelegance. Its has lots of aggressive aggressive physical combat.
The Author has a goofy sense of humor. He loves puns almost as much as Dakota. If you like it you will read all 14 books in like 2 weeks.
Good guys by Eric Ugland. Has a similar combat vibe. The combat is all physical. You will enjoy the combat the same. It us strength based rather than explosion based. MC is not a gamer like Carl. MC makes lots of Noob mistakes like Doughnut so the comedic relief is actually similar. Like the way Doughnut gets the Tiara with out thinking or loses cool stuff for dumb but funny reasons. That happens here.
20 books so its popular. Read till When he uses a legendary god given shield as snow board to see if you find the MC as funny as Carl. The world building is well done that is evident by the second town. one more
Last year I was given this book set for Christmas. I learned a lot from it and it’s fun to read.
If you want to know lore I suggest you gift yourself.

Good guys Bad guys by Eric Ugland! over 20 books with 1000+ of reviews each. Great if you drive a ton. Excellent world building. Exciting combat. The MC leans toward dad jokes and will remind you of your dumbest gamer buddy.
Good guys Bad Guys by Eric Ugland are great fun and R rated for violence. The humor is silly dad jokes. It is generally regarded as some of the best world building in Lit RPG.
Give the book till he gets to first town to see if you like combat and humor. Give the book till the first big town to see if you like the world building. Like he gets in currency changing. The MC that is dumber than the dumbest kid in your high school. If you found that kid funny you love these books. good guys
Good guys!! It has lots of similarities to he who fights with monsters. If You liked the really well done economy and world building. The Good guys is 20+ books with well developed economies, governments etc. If you loved the goofy humor you will find that in the Good Guys. The combat is much more physically violent rather than magical, but still really well written.
If you loved that Jason was always smarter than everyone else…. Umm no the MC put all His points into strength. He is dumber than wet paint. Some love this some tolerate it. Give it till he gets to the first town to see if you like combat and humor. Give it till the second town to see if you like the world building.
The Good guys by Eric Ugland. And the Bad guys. It has really extensive and well done world building. The politics and governments of multiple countries is really well thought out. You care about the titles and land the MC earns.
The combat is action intense and fun. The humor leans toward dad jokes. The MC of the Good guys is like your dumbest friend from high school that ended up selling meth for a biker gang.
The world building is soo good people who hate the MC love the book. Give it till the MC gets to the second town to see if you like it. Really interesting economic and political stuff there. good book
So nothing is exactly like it. For brutal combat and silly word with an OP MC he has a good heart and try’s to care. Check out Good guys. MC is a biker who tries to be a better person. But the game world he is in gets in the way. Like DCC. He puts almost all his points into strength so his dumb antics make for some comity gold. There is no one character as funny as doughnut but there several Minor ones. And edict book that always attacks the MC for one. 20+ books thousands of reviews.
I second mayor of noob town and full murder hobo as well. They both have similar mix of OP MC with humor mixed in.
If you want something sillier try this quest is bull shit. Its fall out of your chair funny. MC gets a life quest to go to the next town and buy a loaf of bread. Every time she try’s to by it some thing happens. Shops close people compulsively eat the last loaf etc. good guys broken
Get One more last time.
The MC is a serious bad ass. He puts all his points into strength. He regularly solves problems by punching then. The combat has really fun writing. MC puts his points into strength so he can be out smarted. This makes the combat interesting. Best world building around over 20 books so its popular lots of people like it.op mc
I have 2 roommates. I am not dating anyone. For fun i read books on Kindle Unlimited. I shop at grocery outlet bargain market. And i drive a Prius C. I have not personally felt inflation. For $10 a month i can read like 15 books. That used to cost me $8.99 each.
If you are looking for a good book.
Read the one more last time by Eric Ugland its a fun book and free with Kindle unlimited.
