Brightblade

pros:
- solid writing
- interesting plot (while heavy handed at times)
cons:
- progression is boring and more of an afterthought.
- MC is an annoying, inconsistent, overbearing prick.
- author seems to have some weird fetishes

This could be so great, but for me it's mostly held back by the way the progression/litrpg elements are handled. System popups with vital upgrades get ignored. MC's progression is crippled from book 1 to 3, levels seem to be mostly just ignored,... it basically feels like the entire System could be scrapped without it having much impact
