Just finished Book of the Dead. Need recs for similar dark hardship stories!

Hey guys, this is my current tier list. I just finished Book of the Dead and I really, really loved it. I haven't read Book 5 yet, as I’m waiting for the audiobook dropping on August 19th.

That’s why I’m looking for some recommendations. I started Azarinth Healer in the meantime, but I dropped it after a couple of chapters (though I do intend to get back to it). I like the pace and all, but it’s a bit too action-heavy for me right now and lacks the depth and deep hardship I'm looking for.

I’m looking for something that vibes with Book of the Dead, 1% Lifesteal and the The Immortal Great Souls series (Bastion...). I prefer stories with more hardship, misery, and a protagonist pushed to the ultimate edge who somehow overcomes it against all odds. I find it really compelling when the MC is treated badly by the world and tries to overcome this suffering.

Thanks for your recs!

Just finished 1% Lifesteal B4. Need next series recs!

Hey guys! Just finished book 4 of 1% Lifesteal. It was a wild ride, but I absolutely loved it. Since book 5 won't drop until October, I need a new series to dive into.

Here is my current Progression Fantasy / LitRPG tier list. Based on my tastes, what would you recommend?

PS: I’d especially love recommendations with a solid audiobook! I walk a lot and always listen on the go. For reference, I absolutely loved the audiobooks for DCC (Dungeon Crawler Carl) and 1% Lifesteal.

Thoughts on the Book 6 Audiobook?

I read books 1–5 on Kindle and really enjoyed the series, so I was eager to get my hands on Book 6 of All the Skills. This time I decided to go with the Audible version, but honestly, I’m finding the audiobook really disappointing.

I don’t like the character voices at all—they sound artificial and just feel off to me.

Maybe I’ve been spoiled by audiobooks like Dungeon Crawler Carl and 1% Lifesteal, both of which have phenomenal narration, but compared to those, this audiobook feels pretty poor.

What are your thoughts on the narration? Were audiobooks 1–5 similar to Book 6 in terms of the voices, production quality, and overall sound, or is Book 6 different?
