I'm writing a script for a video review of what has to be one of the worst series of books ever written. It's not the worst because nothing has infuriated me more in writing than this, to actually motivate me to make a video on it.
The series in question?
The Land.
>The Land?
That's the actual name, the author is so lazy they couldn't even come up with a decent name. But that's not all, there's so much in this garbage fire.
Marry Sue main character who gets so much advantage right at the start of the story that it makes the Self Insert obvious, a power structure literally handed to him by killing a couple of goblins that makes him the power of not only magic but MASTERY over several schools of it, overly convenient plot elements, stakes that ultimately lead to nothing because it's like the author usually forgets about them since the MC's power creep is way too fast for them to even matter or can be simply handwaved and brought back up in minor passing to being completely forgotten, cliff hangers that ultimately lead to nothing but also are complete letdowns because the MC can handwaved them away, a bafflingly confusing skill system that always conveniently favors the MC, writing that relies heavily on not only dead memes but incredibly unfunny ones MC kills a fox, screams "What does the fox say" along with cringy writing to make the sounds I shit you not and there's even more memeshit ahead clearly stollen elements from Skyrim
>Don't you mean The Elder Scrolls?
No I shit you not he just rips off Skyrim.
This is just part of the shitty writing but one thing, the author's main crutch, is his use of what some would think a minor skill but he turned into a page-filling, same information repeating skill called "Analyze" which the author abuses to no end and cheats in literary terms to explain how the MC would know other characters names without ever talking to them. Worst is that he "Upgrades" the skill to also include useless stats of characters and he's not shy of filling it all in over and over.
Oh yeah, stats, did I mention they don't matter? Percentages, plusses and minuses all don't matter because the author can't write for them, his own rules are so convoluted and skewed in favor of the MC that it doesn't matter at all.
Going through halfway through the series and the idea that the MC was actually evil popped into my head made me almost forgive most of the bad writing but it gets so much worse that made me abandon the thought. The MC can be sumarized as a narcissistic-sociopath that can act as such because he never gets any real punishment for his actions but only does the right thing because he never gets any setbacks like you would see in actually good writing. He never makes a sacrifice but time after time he gets literally god-tier stuff and skills.
Now you all might be thinking this would be the writing style of a teenage author but get this:
THE AUTHOR HAS A DOCTORATE'S DEGREE SO HE SHOULD KNOW IT'S BAD
This isn't a "So bad it's good" series because it is so mind numbingly bad and bland how it gets. I'm on book 5 and every book between the first and this one, which I'm finding out is even more filler and showing the author has not only an incest but also a bestiality fetish.
This book is so bad it is proof that anyone can get published even if their writing is poor and on more than one occasion I've been tempted to start writing a book but this script MUST come first and I NEED to expose the sham that is this author.
But this is what I need from you guys: I need other book series to compare this to or just single books in the "LitRPG" genre. I have two series but I need even more to prove my point. The two I have are Delivers LLC and the Video Game Plotline Tester series. It can be the video game style or table top. Can be anything like Fantasy or Sci-Fi but must be considered LitRPG.
I've got time to write out a huge script, I've got friends who are competent video editors on hand, links to several communities that can spread the video pretty far. I just need more examples to prove my point
Please help.
