Remnant

I'm an idiot.

Why do I keep reading these? Every main (male) character is exactly the same as all the others in this shared universe: a huge asshole that specifically says things like, “Don't care. Someone else figure it out” repeatedly...yet basically does whatever he wants anyway. Every supporting (female) character is exactly the same as some other female character in one of the other books.

Only the premise changes. Since this one was sort of like a Civ or Rimworld type setting, and the previous one was a dungeon-core setting, I thought perhaps things would be changed up enough to keep it interesting in my hunger for some good litrpg. Nope. Literally all the same character archetypes just thrown into a slightly different start, but seemingly all headed to similar conclusions. Unless they are these Randi Darren penname books, then you get the added bonus of being able to skip several pages at a time (all the “juicy” parts–hah!) throughout the book (unless you're a teenage boy I suppose).

If it weren't for all the potential tie-ins with Runner along the way (who was also a huge asshole), I can't think of a single good reason to keep reading these. Yet I still do; thus, I'm an idiot.
