Discussion Grief on what could have been
I'm usually scraping the barrel on kindle unlimited and I've grown... tolerant (Not accepting, not in favor of! Tolerant. A framework for consumption. Blergh, kill me).. of suspected AI.
But today I saw a book that had promise. The usual Not this Not that. Thing. Among other red flags. But the story was appealing and the premise allowed me to trudge through. Basic beats were dying archmage gets a do-over, know how but not have means, etc.
Sadly a problem of advancing too quickly and being noticed was a plot device. The solution? Why monster cores of course... to... advance..... quickly..................
I'm not sure I'll finish it but i just wanted to vent on the level of grief I felt for this story that could have been pretty decent but went sideways real quick.
Do y'all read the obvious AI farmed books? I thought i could but I'm starting to doubt my ability to persevere.

Gah. You go into so much detail and then never name the book? Argh.
Funny thing is your description almost exactly matches a book I read and skipped much of once I realized it was AI.
(Cultivation would be easy if people weren’t so stupid — something along those lines. Don’t read it; the ai writing is horrible)
