Do čeho píchnout, aneb litRPG a webnovely online

Pokračování článku o litRPG.

Čtu v angličtině. LitRPG se úspěšně uchytilo prvně v zahraničí, překlad není tak rychlý (nebo celkově dostupný), tudíž tu hodím odkazy především na anglické příběhy. Jsou tam pouze dva příklady s českým překladem, a to jsou komiksy. Jen varování předem. ^^

Nemám tolik volného času, tudíž se počet litRPG, které načítám, snížil. Nemám ani tak dobrý přehled jako dříve. Ale jako úvod to je poměrně slušný výčet, alespoň z mého pohledu. Snad najdete něco, co vás zaujme.

The Legend of Randidly Ghosthound
puddles4263

zdroj, kapitoly: royalroad.com

Anotace:

As the system initializes, the world shifts. Geography is rearranged and mixed, and levels and stats are instituted across the globe. On that night, one young man was walking through an underground tunnel, his mind on the small problems of his easy life. Because of his location during the shift, he starts in a dungeon far above his level, with no knowledge or teacher, or Newbie Village to guide him. Without a class, he struggles simply to survive in this world changed by its new connection to the Nexus.

But struggle he will, for he is Randidly Ghosthound, and this is only how his legend begins...

První online litRPG, o kterou jsem zakopla. Pudz stále píše, kapitoly se objevují na stránkách poměrně pravidelně, cca 14 kapitol za dva týdny. Pokud se zapojíte na jeho patreonu, dostanete přístup k nezanedbatelnému počtu kapitol napřed, ale to mám jen z doslechu.

Přestože je počet kapitol 1000+ poměrně děsivá přestava, stojí za to do příběhu jít. Ze začátku jde cítit, že je to Pudzova první větší práce, ale kvalita se zlepšuje a jen pro jeho nápady to za ten čas stojí.

There is no Epic Loot here, Only Puns
stewart92

Anotace:

She became a dungeon core.
Everything pointed Delta to murdering her way to success. People were just mana farms, right?
No, that was wrong.

Delta refused. Then everything became odd.

Brilliant. Really, really love this one (little punk).
The author can use humor in a good way and it isn't annoying but genuinely amusing. Considering it's posted frequently, writing it so can't be easy - but stewart92 get it just right. It's full of great ideas and funny characters. The story is improving, worldbuilding is getting better and better. Puuuure fun and lot of puns, lol.

Autor teď nedávno ukončil dějový oblouk (což se dá nejspíše chápat jako kniha #1). Povídka sice je stále rozepsaná, ale pokud někdo rád čte na etapy...

The Arcane Emperor
Aternus

zdroj, kapitoly: royalroad.com

Anotace:

Rainer, an amateur arcanist and college student, sought to create a new spell far surpassing the magic of the few he inherited from his grandfather. Yet the interference of an unknown event during the casting of his spell led him to be thrown through space and time.

Where status screens were accepted as normal and class distinctions were quite clear. Leveling and achieving a class beyond a simple farmer or peddler was an affair of life and death combined with years of hard training. Goblins were not the fodder that they should be, orcs filled bedtime stories in order to scare children into behaving, and a dragon? You might as well pack up and move to another country.

He, however, enters this world with the rare and powerful class of the Arcanist. How will the recently ardent seeker of magic find greater heights, or will he land in deeper depths?...

*

Hned od začátku jde o kvalitní práci, nápady a děj jsou dobré a postavy zaujmou. Aternus sice neupdatuje tak rychle jako jiní, ale kvalita to více než vynahrazuje.

The Void Wolf
Monad

zdroj, kapitoly: royalroad.com

Anotace:

A ritual, with the sole purpose of obtaining immortality, goes horribly wrong. What's left in its aftermath is a boy who receives an inheritance from the Void, a mysterious place that embodies darkness. With a newfound power, he is given a chance to carve his own way into the world.

*

Dokončená povídka! A tím myslím poslední kapitola a le fin, žádné další dějové odbočky a knihy a whatever. Na příběh sice navazuje další povídka, ale ta je o jiných postavách a MC se tam až tolik nevyskytuje. Pokud chcete jít do ukončeného příběhu, Void Wolf je správná volba.
Monad je jedním z mých top autorů na rr, určitě stojí za to kouknout i na jeho ostatní příběhy. Memento Mori je myslím také litRPG. Pěkně podivné, ale rozhodně originální. :))

*

Memento Mori: Death Incarnate
Monad

zdroj, kapitoly: royalroad.com

Anotace:

The emergence of monsters and superhumans hasn't disrupted the modern-era. People have adapted to their new way of life and among them is Casper Clay, a man who has long since awakened to a gift that seemed to be more of a curse until it leads him to a different path. Seeing the opportunity in front of him, Casper heads down a road that could lead to prosperity just as easily as it could lead to an untimely end.

*

Jak jsem psala, hodně netradiční, ale super. Morbidním způsobem, heh.

*

Tabula Rasa
Monad

zdroj, kapitoly: royalroad.com

Anotace:

Specimen-767, a research experiment that would be weaponized once she reached maturity. Before that could happen, the Organization responsible for creating her suffered a major disaster and S-767 is placed in an alternate world. Whatever was planned for her before has been scraped away, leaving S-767 to find her own purpose in a new and dangerous world.

*

Když už sem dávám Monadovy příběhy, tak ať je to komplet. TR by se díky některým prvkům taky dala považovat za litRPG, nakonec. Trochu. Další super příběh. Háček je, že autor nepostuje kapitoly tak často, ale vždy se nakonec ozve.

The Two Week Curse
Ten Realms #1
Michael Chatfield

zdroj, kapitoly: royalroad.com

Anotace:

People Started falling down in pain at first.
Then they saw screens and could sense an energy within them called mana by the screens.
These people could gain skills, cast magic and do the impossible.
Two weeks after, without fail, they disappear, never to be seen again.
It was called the two week curse.
Erik West was a combat medic, he was trying to save his friends lives, then he was blown up, leaving him with just one arm. At first he thought he had an infection, but then comes the news. He has the two week curse.
Let's just see if there is such a thing as healing magic.

Není to čistých pět, ale bavilo mě to.
A projednou - bývalí vojáci se chovají jako vojáci. Yay!
Vážně mě to baví a čekám na další díl. :)

Michael Chatfield se jako autor už prosadil, má na kontě několik sci-fi sérií, fantasy knih, není na poli nováček. Bývalý voják, strašně se mi líbí jeho styl psaní. Je sice pravda, že dokáže solidně zabřednout do popisů a pomalého vývoje světa, ale kolem a kolem je jedním z mých nejoblíbenějších autorů litRPG. Jeho svět jednoduše dává smysl a postavy se chovají jako dospělí lidé, ne děti na písečku nebo megalomani, kteří si honí ego.

Co se týče Ten Realms, momentálně je vydáno pět knih, předpokládám, že se pracuje na dalších (autorovo tempo je poměrně šílené, když se vezme v potaz, že nepracuje jen na této sérii), a celou první knihu lze přečíst online na royalroad. :)

The Gamer
Sangyoung Sung (story), Sang-Ah (art)

český překlad má cca 100 epizod, co jsem viděla posledně: webtoons.com
anglicky: webtoons.com

Anotace:

What if your life is just like playing a game? What if you can upgrade your status and gain more levels? A fantasy world is coming right at you!
Han Jee-Han, a normal high school student, suddenly develops a special power where his entire world is shifted into a game-like setting. He can see the power levels of people, look at the stats of a seemingly normal item, get abilities and even level up! Follow Han Jee-Han as he discovers how to use this power and the world of Ability users..

*

Není to psaný příběh, ale komiks. Skvělý komiks, nutno podotknout. Postovaný je zdarma na webtoonu. Je to mobilní aplikace a komiksy jsou tomu uzpůsobené, takže dostanete (z pohledu pc) dlouhé pásy obrázků s velkými bublinami s textem, úžasné barvy, vše snadno čitelné na obrazovkách mobilů.

The Snake Report
wercwercwerc

oficiální stránky: thesnekreport.com; rr: royalroad.com

Anotace:

All Hail The Tiny Snake God!
When life ends, many believe a soul is judged. Warriors might get to Valhalla, saints might go to heaven, and evil-doers go to hell... but what about someone who doesn't fall into any of those categories?
Well, some of them end up like... this.

*

Další z příběhů, u kterých jsem se mohla potrhat smíchy. Dvě knihy napsané (a dostupné online), třetí se myslím píše.

Advent
Red Mage #1
Xander Boyce

zdroj, kapitoly: royalroad.com

Anotace:

*

Slušná litRPG. Jak psal autor, jednička teď je bohužel už jen na amazonu, ale dvojka se píše a je postovaná na rr online.

The Tale of G.O.D.
Andur

zdroj, kapitoly: royalroad.com

Anotace:

This is the Tale of G.O.D. (And how Humanity never reached the Stars)
Antioch is a sheltered being and knows little about the world. Although he harbours his own secrets, he doesn't comprehend the scale of the adventure he is about to embark on. Being locked up in a research station, he is content with his fate, but when he starts receiving strange messages, he suspects that not everything is well in his little world.
When it's abruptly decided that the project has to be ended, Antioch is faced with the large world outside his prison.
He won't like what he finds... and there are powers at play who would love to put the escaped subject back into the box.
But as in so many tales, it's hard to close Pandora's Box once it was opened.

*

Andur je dalším ze solidních autorů na rr. Má na kontě minimálně pět ukončených příběhů. Pokud přijdete na chuť jeho podivnému smyslu pro humor, všechny ostatní příběhy jsou pak sázka na jistotu. :)

Game Start
World Seed #1
Justin Miller

zdroj, kapitoly: royalroad.com

Anotace:

The year is 2245, and the world has undergone explosive growth in multiple industries. The age of Virtual Reality came long ago, opening up new fields for people to enjoy and seek employment. There were even those that chose to sacrifice their physical bodies, becoming digital existences that lived within internet communities.

But with the age of VR, everyone still dreamed of that next step, the next level of adventure. And after a hundred years, it has finally arrived. The first consoles, known as Seeds, mass distributed among the people, with such realism that they no longer qualified as a Virtual Reality, but as an Artificial Reality. But what happens when things become too real?

*

Další solidní autor, kvalita a pravidelné updaty, pět napsaných knih, lze je číst na rr nebo koupit na amazonu.

The Wandering Inn
Pirateaba

oficiální stránky: wanderinginn.com; rr: royalroad.com

Anotace:

"No killing Goblins.”
So reads the sign outside of The Wandering Inn, a small building run by a young woman named Erin Solstice. She serves pasta with sausage, blue fruit juice, and dead acid flies on request. And she comes from another world. Ours.
It's a bad day when Erin finds herself transported to a fantastical world and nearly gets eaten by a Dragon. She doesn't belong in a place where monster attacks are a fact of life, and where Humans are one species among many. But she must adapt to her new life. Or die.
In a dangerous world where magic is real and people can level up and gain classes, Erin Solstice must battle somewhat evil Goblins, deadly Rock Crabs, and hungry [Necromancers]. She is no warrior, no mage. Erin Solstice runs an inn.
She's an [Innkeeper].

Další poměrně rozsáhlý příběh, myslím, že stále rozepsaný.

Morningwood
Everybody Loves Large Chests #1
Neven Iliev

zdroj, kapitoly: royalroad.com

Anotace:

Large chests are said to encompass all manner of hopes and dreams. Men covet them. Women envy them. But one fact holds true - everyone wants to get their hands on some big ones.

The same holds true for one intrepid adventurer - a strapping young lad by the name of Himmel. Armed with his grandfather's trusty longsword and the dream of being the strongest, he sets out on the journey of a lifetime! It is sure to be a long and dangerous road, fraught with danger! And it all starts with a simple test - reach Level 5 in the dungeon called the ‘newbie zone' and earn the right to become a full-fledged adventurer!

However, such things get hopelessly derailed when his adolescent mind beholds an exposed chest for the first time. A fateful meeting that would inevitably lead his life in a direction he never even dreamed of!

Vtipný příběh, občas vulgární, ale skvělý na pobavení.

Azarinth Healer
Rhaegar

zdroj, kapitoly: royalroad.com

Anotace:

Hello everyone

A story I've started writing now quite a while ago. Transported to another world, pretty standard fantasy setting with my amateur attempt to make it a bit dark but funny. There are Litrpg elements here but I do hope it's not too heavy and annoying. The fights should be interesting and aren't just numbers vs numbers. Contrary to the title the protagonist will be quite an offensive fighter.

Ilea Spears is your average sarcastic kick-boxing fast food worker and soon to be student. She will be transported to another world rather conventionally and will be confronted with survival in the wild. There's magic, monsters and some numbers.

Give it a shot and let me know what you think. I'm a beginner at writing and my experience is incredibly lacking. If you find yourself hating it early on, do convey your anger in a detailed comment or review :) I want to get better but without any feedback it's simply quite difficult.

Thank you for reading.

Slušná litRPG, ze začátku napsaná trochu krkolomně, ale představuje zajímavé nápady. Rozepsaná s rychlými updaty každých pár dnů.

I Am Going To Die (In This Game-Like Dimension)
HC Mills

zdroj, kapitoly: royalroad.com

Anotace:

When mysterious portals start opening up around the world at large events, swallowing everybody, you'd think that would warrant some kind of danger pay when you have to sell hotdogs at a Comic Con, right? ‘No, of course not; what are the odds of that happening here, out of all the big events in the world?'

*

Netradičné pojetí a zajímavé nápady, poměrně rychlé updaty. Začalo to dobře a v půlce lehce ztratilo na páře, ale nečetla jsem poslední díly, možná se to vyšvihlo zpět.

*

Brimstone Fantasy
stern trooper

zdroj, kapitoly: royalroad.com

Anotace:

Given his first weapon when he was still a child, Edward Lee lived a life full of violence in a nation torn by war.

Tormented by the demons of his past, he believed Death would free him.

But through the games of beings beyond his understanding, his death turned out to be the starting point of a new life in a strange world of magic and monsters, as a young teenager.

Beyond simply finding a way to survive the dangers of his new life, Edward will soon realize that there is still a price to pay for his past actions.

*

Je to zajímavý příběh, který se mi hodně líbil. Průšvih je, že je autor se svými updaty dost nespolehlivý. Jakkoli je rr skvělý, hodně lidí tam začne psát příběh a pak beze slova v půlce přestane. Stern trooper do té kategorie ne úplně patří... ale rozhodně to tak čas od času vypadalo.

*

A malý bonus. Není to litRPG, ale skvělý komiks (který možná i na principech litRPG pracuje, ale nejsou tam statusy).
Jednu dobu mě doslova posadil na zadek, ten příběh je brilantní. Kresba se také úžasně zlepšuje. :))

Tower of God
SIU

česky: webtoons.com
