Ah, The Witcher series. How are you liking it? Have you played any games? Or coming to it from the TV show?

[–] kaato@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Hehe, I’ve bought Witcher 3 but haven’t really gotten that far, and I’ve seen the TV series although not a huge fan. I guess I just picked up the books from seeing lots of recommendations online - love it so far!

Ah, nice.

BTW I heard there is another Witcher book in the works, releasing next year. Haven't confirmed the news yet though.

Just read an erotic romance, Heart of the Mountain by Snek Guy. It is about a mercenary going up a mountain to slay a dragon and take her hoard of gold. Things don't go quite as he planned. It was well written, but a bit too much smut for my taste. I wrote a bit more here.

Just started the My Best Friend is an Eldritch Horror series.

Great book. I’ve started to read it after finishing the PC game:)

I started the games a while back and somehow screwed up and started on the second one lol. Once I found that out I dropped it... Just currently working through the audio books right now. I'll replay them in the winter. In order this time :)

Is there any similar book but in Cyberpunk 2077 world?

Ward by wildbow. Not technically a book but it's wonderful if you are into that genre and honestly probably still good if you aren't. Finished worm and while back and would definitely recommend that as well

To give a brief idea it's "what if super powers came from incredible trauma and were designed to be the worst possible power for them specifically" there's a lot more to it like A LOT but that is a general idea.

Worm follows Taylor and her journey after gaining power. It's essentially her struggle to be in control of everything that goes on around her

Ward follows Victoria dallon and her struggle to manage a bunch of traumatized young adults as a hero team while dealing with a severely fucked up family
