I have two nominees for this. I’ve mentioned this before, but <Rise of the Weakest Summoner> gets really bogged down with the harem aspects after several books. The author feels compelled to let every single person in the harem comment on every single thing and also let the reader know that every single person in the harem is totally fine with their arrangement… repeatedly. It starts to read like a bad fanfiction and the author needs to get a thesaurus so they stop using the adverb “lovingly” so many times.
This is just a random page from book 7… the book where I was like “I can’t take this any more” and gave up on the series:
Now, I at least made it to book 7 of that series, so it wasn’t all bad, especially not at first before the harem is established (even though there’s definitely some relatively explicit chapters that I could do without). But the book series where I swear the author just didn’t give any shit about his writing or his characters was <Elemental Summoner>. It’s just… a mess… like the author had no idea what he was doing and just wrote whatever.
Look at this garbage. There’s punctuation errors, numerous cliches, etc. and it’s all terrible difficult to follow. This isn’t LitRPG at all and yet there’s stuff about power points and damage values so it’s all meaningless. It’s like if you were watching a Samurai movie and the guy slashes an enemy and suddenly you see “Raiden slashed for 30 points of damage”. This is also the novel series where I found so many major plot inconsistencies that I started called the MC “Amnesia Protag” because he’d just forget he did things in the previous book or even in the previous chapter. The author also seemed to like padding the book with lots of needless explanation. Like, they were going to ride a dragon. A normal way would be “we made a harness and then used wind magic to ensure we were comfortable and didn’t fall off.” This guy would spend PAGES explaining how he was fashioning a harness out of leather from a boar he had from a fight three winters ago and using rope made from vines and then explain wind dynamics that would need to be “overcome” for the wind magic to work and then five pages later they’d FINALLY get a move on. Oh, and this is also the book series where the random elf stranger has sex with the MC because she doesn’t believe that he’s not grossed out by her.
I couldn’t find a series with the name “Rise of the Weakest Summoner”. Maybe you should write it and send a copy to my library. In fact, I think this is a great idea and you absolutely should do so. Right now. Chop chop.
