I'm looking for some (non-pornographic) books that involve a romantic relationship between a human male and non-human female as a substantial plot point. And when I say non-human female I don't mean "a human with pointy ears that lives a long time" or "alien that looks exactly like a human but has wrinkles on their nose so that makes them actually an alien", I mean a dragon or a werewolf or Lovecraftian tentacle beast or a sentient spaceship or something. I'm currently reading Mercedes Lackey's "Obsidian Trilogy" on the basis that the generic chosen one boy hero winds up in a relationship with a demon girl that looks sort of like a tiefling, which could stand to be a bit more monstrous, but at least she couldn't be mistaken for a human, what with the horns, hooves, and red skin.
Can I get some SciFi with big >FUCK YEAR HUMANITY vibes? I played Xenoblade Chronicles X and astral chain recently and really dug the settings of humanity pushed to the brink living in and defending a cool ark city despite neither game having a good story

see the problem with this is that 90% of these are human female + monsterboy (Beauty and the Beast scenario), 5% human male and human female (with pointy ears), 4% non-human male and non-human female, and 1% plain old bestiality

The Undying Mercenaries series by B.V Larson.

What are you reading and what are you planning to read? I’m currently starting Death Angel’s Shadow, the Kane short story collection by Karl Edward Wagner. Also debating whether to finish the Fritz Lieberman collection The Three of Swords this weekend or start my Warhammer collection Headhunters.
The actual webnovel isn't actually this btw, it's just a misconstrued interpretation of events to make the protagonist seem like an unhinged psycho
Bentley Wilson
Walder Frey did nothing wrong
Bentley Cook
anyone else can't get into other mediums anymore? I don't understand how this is possible but I can spend hours a day reading a novel nonstop yet I have a hard time finishing a 2 hours film without taking a break every 20 minutes
Weird, I can watch 4 hours of TV without interruption but I have to take 1 or 2 breaks a chapter
Hudson Stewart
>in 1946 he went back to writing stories for publication in the U.S.A and decided to try a modified form of what is unhappily known as 'science fiction' Another day passes where I am punished mentally for insisting on reading everything in a book, not just the part that's the story.
I finished Infinite Realm 3 and it is in a great spot now. Not sure what to read next. Maybe I'll check out Bastion or read another Who novel.
Jonathan Johnson
any cool scifi shit that's like metroid

Fuck bros, I was finally able to get A Dance with Dragons used for under $5 although unfortunately it was the hardback edition not the paperback which sucks a bit Now I can finally finish the series until Winds of Winter comes out Fuck paying full price for books
The Would You Love a Monster Girl series by Cebelius. The first book is an Arachne, the second is a Gryphon.

>until Winds of Winter comes out sweet summer child

I finished this one today based off a recummendation here. Despite a decent start actual smut failed to materialize in any reasonable amount, quite disappointing. That said the physics, politics and for the most part even the economy were reasonably well crafted and were decently internally consistent, better than most space operas. The audio book narration was excellent. The pacing was decent, the battles were somewhat better than average. I wish the big reveal at the end wasn't foreshadowed so fucking hard. MC was was OP with a get out of any situation gimmick and plot armor so thick to took any thrill out of the danger, that can be hard to wright out of a single POV narrative but IDK, try harder. That said she didn't come off as too much of a marry sue, and she was cute and likeable, I wish she was more cute and funny instead.
I get the vibe that the author is a channer. Also he's a fucking lazy bastard. He suckles at the teat of those subscribe star patrons who fork over ~$50k a year for the pillage of reading an unpublished chapter a month. Five years and so sequel, three years behind schedule on the indicated release date. I fucking hate portion/subscribe star. We need to pay authors just enough to keep them hungry so they keep working and reward them only for publishing. You make it too easy for them and they become unproductive.
Overall I give this book a B+, I consume around 1000 pages per day and I've already read all the really good sci fi, this was decently better than average but still not great. Thanks to the user who recommended it, unless that was you William in which case get the fuck off here and get back to work.
Idk what ABB is Yeah I use libgen and I have a kindle My local library isn't very good and besides I like book hoarding

audiobookbay.se/ Legit the best place for audiobooks. I wouldn't have room to keep a physical copy of every book I read.
Brandon Russell
>What are you reading and what are you planning to read? Finishing up my reread of Peculiar Soul, gonna take a crack at A Practical Guide to Sorcery once I finish
Parker Gonzalez
Why wouldn’t you want the hardcover?
Benjamin Fisher
Ah alright I don't like listening to audiobooks because I find it far too easy to space out and miss like 5 minutes of text I just have a lot of boxes full of books that I bought for $2-3 I like hardbacks but only if they're clothbound and smyth sewn Dance with Dragons is way too big to read comfortably imo, I'd rather have it as a split paperback
I will spend hours looking for a good book, worrying about also getting a good deal on said book is just too much overhead. If I can get it at my library then I frequently do. If I cant then I find it by other means and rarely does that include paying for it past what I pay for KU.
VLC phone app has a rewind ten seconds feature for audio books. I can also pause and unpause with a click on my bluetooth earbuds. Usually I only have a problem when I am falling asleep, but also nothing is more comfy and falling asleep to a good story, I just have to rewind a bit in the morning.
What are some books with well written action sequences. Gunfights, magic battles, swordfights, brawlings etc?
Henry Davis
Volume 2 of TWI finished My biggest complain so far is how Pisces is being treated I hope this will be rectified soon enough He and Ceria better get back together and have some interesting making up and falling in love again arc
I wish people would stop using abbreviations when recommending books... What does ISSTH mean?
Samuel Peterson
I Shall Seal The Heavens
Kevin Cruz
Thanks.
Adrian Scott
I wish people would learn how to use search engines and stop spoonfeeding
Aaron Powell
Most of the time if you just google any abbreviation here followed by "web novel", "book", or "series", whatever the user is talking about usually pops up.
Easton Ramirez
user who asked here, thanks ill check it out

First Law by Joe Abercrombie. Planning to go on to read other stuff by Abercrombie. Really digging it; I hadn't enjoyed a fantasy series so thoroughly in a long time.
I'm having a hard time deciding what to read next between TWI and a practical guide to evil, what should I go for /sffg/bros?
Brandon Jones
Practical Guide is far better.

Alt-Earth with WWI technology. There's magic that consists of powers called souls that dwell in people. These "ensouled people" have a single power that ranges from being able to see farther, increased physical durability, or being able to shoot fire out of their hands. When one of these people die, their soul and thereby power is transfered to a random living person. These powers alter the way the world works and how civilization functions at a core level. the author goes hard with the world building, with epigraphs, fake newspaper clips, and even propaganda flyers. I don't want to reveal too much about the plot, but it does start out very slow. If you do decide to read it, try to make it to chapter 30 at the very least. This review sold me on the work: royalroad.com/fiction/42433/peculiar-soul?review=1148387#review-1148387
Hunter Perez
send this format over and I'll meme one too

Recently finished a few months ago. I would recomend APGTE as well, haven't read TWI yet.
there are a few others Solvos Desolda Super Minion then others that might never end like beneath the dragoneye moons, azarinth healer, chrystalis, metaowrld chronicles
having since finished vol4, i actually find myself loving it even more. the conclusion to this was definitely one of the high points of the story so far. very strong finish.

“Rise, first among the priesthood of Night, and wake up.”
resurrecting my question from the last thread: I'm looking for novels or series that portrait posthumans as total cunts to baseline ones, something akin to red rising, blindsight and illium anything with scission of normals humans and post evolutionary ones
