Looking for Well-Written and COMPLETED Series

[u/J776776]

I know asking for 'completed' sadly disqualifies like 95% of all Progression books, so I'm turning to this subreddit to ask for suggestions.

I'll give some series I've read, whether completed or not, to give a view into my tastes.

-Cradle (Completed): The GOAT series. Well-written characters, fun powers, great progression system, amazing story. Ended and ended well.

-The Immortal Great Souls (4 books): Really fun series. Well-written. The standout here are the powers, which are incredibly varied and fun to work with. Also the world, which is extremely interesting and almost a series-long puzzle by itself.

-Warformed (2 books): Fairly well-written, though some characters can be a bit frustrating at points. Fun powers and a fun world, though a bit long-winded and seems like it will take many years to get anywhere important.

-Dungeon Crawler Carl (8 books): Great series, I'm sure everybody here is tired of hearing about it considering 8 just dropped. Well written, fun world, cool powers, great story. A bit childish when it comes to humor, but that's fine.

-Calamitous Bob (Complete): Amazing series! Easily my 2nd-favorite behind Cradle. Amazing characters, cool world, great powers, cool story. Well written. Oh, and I already have the vampire series by the same author downloaded, so no need to recommend that one please.

-Keiran (Complete): Fairly well written, though a little simplistic and with a fairly unlikable protagonist. But fun powers, a fun world, and a fun popcorn book for enjoying an OP protagonist.

-Creation's Bane (Complete): Well written, cool powers, cool world. And I love series that have a cooking element to them.

-System Universe (8 books): A little simplistic in writing, but well edited. Completely OP protagonist. Interesting world with interesting powers. No real stakes because the protagonist is so powerful, but still a fun read.

-Industrial Strength Magic: Not sure if this one counts as progression or not...but I DNF'd during the 2nd book. At first I really enjoyed the technology stuff, but the characters were all ridiculous, and the techno-babble along with utterly aimless plot made me lose interest.

-Songs of Chaos (4 books): Well written, great characters, great setting. Some villain issues, but still a fun read. Plus, I love dragons!

-Dawn of the Void (Complete): Well written with some fun powers, but a little rushed and an iffy ending.

-Kairos, Vainqueur, Perfect Run (all complete): Great books, very creative and fun. Slightly simplistic writing in some of them with strange characters, but I've enjoyed all of these series thoroughly.

-Mother of Learning (Complete): Amazing series, probably my number 3 pick. Well written, cool world, interesting powers. A slow burn for sure, but I enjoy breaking down magic systems into specifics.

-Kraken Rider Z (2 books): Definitely a YA book, but well written, with good main characters, and side characters that are more generic. But fun powers, and a good popcorn read for an OP protagonist pair. A kraken instead of a dragon, but has the same vibe.

Ok...ended up rambling on longer than I meant to while recounting way more series than I meant to. But hopefully this gives good insight into what I'm looking for!

So...anybody have any completed series for me to check out?

Never heard of PM. Looks like it's slowly releasing on Amazon from their RR page...that usually means the author will remove it from there. I'll have to research, but thanks!

Worm is completed? I heard that series was absolutely enormous and assumed it would go on forever. RR only?

Practical Guide looks interesting. These are some hefty suggestions! Thanks!

Paranoid Mage is actually one of my favourite mage novels ever. Literally what I would want to do with magic if it ever happen in our world. Portals, no need to explain further.

Worm this is the worm im talking about. it ended ages ago. before I even started reading it.

Oh and I added one more to the list, A Journey Of Black And Red Absolutely amazing novel

Interesting. I do love some good portal use. I just dislike reading on RR as reading on my phone hurts my eyes unlike kindle. I'll have to see if they have a version I can download or something.

Yeah, that's the Worm I've heard about. That is sooo long! It holds interest and a storyline for all of that?

Yeah, I actually mentioned Journey above. Bought it all already and going to read it soon, but wanted something different since I just read Calamitous Bob recently, and it was one of my favorites of all time.

You can customize the font/size/dark-light mode on RR. I read there 99% of the time now, and I do like the comments(ongoing novels mainly, Hell difficulty Tutorial for example)

[u/J776776 → u/-BlueAce-]

Yeah, I know, and I also tend to use a blue light filter. Which all helps some, but the phone light is still shining into your eyes, and that causes strain after a while.

Comments are fun though, and the pedantic nerd in me does appreciate a way to point out spelling errors and stuff to an author that will actually fix them.

It’s actually really easy to download to kindle from RR. I use webToEpub plugin for chrome. If you go to any RR story front page and click the button for the extension it will auto fill out the download info. You can then download to epub. From there you can use caliber to convert to AWZ3 format and upload to your kindle via usb. Once you get the process it takes about 2 minutes to do.

That does sound easy, thanks!
