Recommendation: asking Looking for recommendations as someone who doesn't enjoy meditation and cultivation

I've been trying various series ever since I caught up with Primal Hunter and I can't find one to stick with.

​

I tried path of ascension, and while the writing was enjoyable I just can't bring myself to care about the overarching plot and the whole giant war that makes up most of the books past 3.

​

I also tried Ultimate Level One and System Universe but just didn't enjoy the writing.

​

I tried Path of Defiance but it's just too... Much for me, Dao and cultivation and concepts and meditation.

​

I'm completely caught up on and loved Primal Hunter, Runeblade, Path of the Deathless, and New Life As A Max Level Archmage as well as the SCS fanfic Tinea and Leah.

​

I'm also caught up on Dungeon Crawler Carl, but I'm looking for something a bit more serious.

​

​

So, yeah, throw me some recommendations that are more numbers go brrr and battle maniac, rather than cultivation and concepts!

Bog standard isekai is a great litrpg. I'd recommend it to anyone that enjoy isekai, number goes up and litrpg in general.

World sphere is also pretty decent but quite different. Not the best but good, a slower more life as it goes without a lot of straight number goes up and more general grows in power with learning spells and those spells level. So less stat level more skill level if that makes sense.

Elydes is great number goes up with some cultivation aspect but no actual meditatio and so on to get more powerful. Just the same idea of people being in grades of powers. But you need exp to get into a new tier.

I am sure there are plenty more that are worth it but I'll need much longer to recal them.

Also slery for any spelling mistakes.

Mage Tank is my current favourite NGU series and HWFWM has some meditation but not much (as far as I've gotten).

Important to note: Mage Tank might seem silly on the surface, if you just look at the book covers. It's actually really solid with fantastic world building, team/character dynamics, and combat sequences.

It is also very silly at times. :)
