@HarmlessDave said in Recommendation for VRMMO or Dungeon series with large casts:
@Lily-Garden - good one, and Lazy Dungeon Master is complete with a decent ending.
Fair, but also be aware that the author likes to indulge in fetishes, often to the point where they overwhelm whatever the current plot is supposed to be. I enjoyed the story a lot when the MC is being clever and winning dungeon battles by thinking outside the box; not so much when a bandit he beat in a prior book is begging him to transform back into a femboy form the bandit worships. And I’ve had more than one friend I tried to introduce to the series put it down in disgust after the first book or two. So I’m very careful who I recommend it to.
Infinite Dendrogram is another one I generally like a lot, but really irritates me at times. I love it when the MC is thinking outside the box and coming up with unconventional ways to win (like dealing with the lack of a riding skill by having his new mount drag him alongside while he holds onto the reins). I don’t like it when it spends a huge amount of time on a battle that’s basically just the worst kind of MMO grinding, going for a brute force battle of attrition instead of being clever; the volume that spent the entire book bashing its head against the wall of UBM Gloria is a classic example.
Back to the topic… I’m surprised no one’s mentioned D-Genesis yet. It doesn’t focus on the dungeon crawling aspect the way that, say, Finding Avalon does, but I really like its take on “how would dungeons appearing in contemporary Earth affect society?”
