You guys shit the bed. Shiess the bed. Whatever you sourkraut fuckers want to call it. It would have been easier to set yourselves on fire in a bunker. Fascism is as fascism does. Tell us “it’s for the greater good”. You’re just cutting away the undesirables. You admins do so much for our own good and we should be grateful you know so much better than we do.

SACRED mountain. I don’t think people appreciate this enough. This would be like nuking mt.fuji and wondering why the Japanese would hold a grudge.

Besides already having the weakest defense by far, they just applied a sweeping damage reduction nerf, cooldown nerf, and a vulnerable/critical damage nerf. It sucks for everyone but it’s tailor made to fuck over sorc

These are kind of non-standard progfantasy series recommendations but imo they fit the mold, especially if you want to steer away from gamelit or litrpg.

Embers of Illeniel - good story but it gets dark pretty quick and ramps up the brutality pretty hard by the end. Think Battlefield Earth meets Silmarillion. Darker prequel to the Mageborn series, which is another good softcore prog fantasy series in itself. Both series build up to over the top cataclysmic conclusions like cradle does, though limits itself to world level cataclysm.

Codex Alera - a bet about Pokémon and a lost Roman legion gone very right. Jim butcher wrote this series on a bet that he couldn’t write a story from just two wildly disparate ideas. He technically lost because there’s a whiff of starcraft in there just for funnies. Each book represents a step up in power or skill very similar to cradle.

Neither one has the xanxia influence though, you might try to find a translation of Heavenly Sword, Dragon Sabre for that. I read it years and years ago but haven’t seen a good translation in a long time
