Is there a sequel for the War for the west

1 Like

if i remember correctly, they intend to make a second book for war for the west

Yes, but only in one aspect, namely fighting and leading others into battle. That’s where mc is badass…but for mc it comes at the cost of basically everything else. Off the battlefield they’re an absolute mess and wreck of a human being.

They also seem to be quite pretty canonically, provided you can look past certain deformities…which for cultural reasons most people in the setting cannot.

Haha. Its gonna seem silly; since its such a small feat compared to other series.

But Wayhaven Chronicles. I mean, you go from some normie cop to helping take down a psycho vamp, rescue a species to safety, and even PUNCH A MONSTER IN THE FACE THAT THE VAMPIRE HOTTIES FEARED .

Like, it seems so basic; its just a punch, right? But it shows just how much hidden potential the MC has that NO ONE had any clue about.

“What some ancient species that my 4 super hotties that are all a little OP for their vamp race got held back by? So what? -PUNCH-”

And it isnt even like the punch killed it, or even did any lasting damage; but it was enough to make every character there’s jaw drop.

Tower Behind The Moon makes you want to crawl into a hole and die every time you fail a stat check, because you’re supposed to rival gods in power and it can sometimes get as bad as making a fool of yourself in front of commoners, but when you succeed, you really do feel like one of the most powerful archmages in the world.

Not to mention the secret ending where you singlehandedly defeat the king of the universe and take his place.

The lost heir of daria. Something like that. Bro you could become a demon, necromatic, vampire queen with a vampire child.

The strongest character I ever played in CoG & HoG

The life of a wizard, let’s be honest that wizard was a one man army and had time to add they genes canonically to the royal family

Samurai of hyuga, when we say that we are sword that cuts the heaven, that just give me Ichigo vibes

The golden rose book 1, while the story lost me in some parts, I won’t lie whenever the mc fights is pretty top notch

Community college book 1 and 2, It was still satisfying to fight back the villain that killed origami and take that guy down in book 2 that wears a mecha suit

Choice of the pirate, is the only one that hype me up during battles between armies especially when the mc becomes the pirate king and command the countless pirate ships against the navy

Pon para, this is just another one man army, it still unbelievable that the mc fought countless armies ranging from goblins at the start of book 1 all the war to a beast created by the deities in book 2 and optionally gaining that sweet divine weapon

Iron heart, the fight with Richard the lion heart was the one that I can’t forget

Cliffhanger challenger of tomorrow, no words need to be said here, the mc never chose to be badass, the badass chose them

A Mage Reborn: I always liked games where you can play as a powerful mage, especially when you can have fire-related powers (which is quite ironic in AMR’s case, all things considered)

Fallen Hero: Especially when playing with a high daring fighter Step that picked the strength and speed upgrade for their armor. It’s just amazing to see them wiping the floor with whoever they’re fighting with.

Hollowed Minds: In a quieter way, since the MC isn’t entering fights every time. But it’s just as amazing to see them outsmarting others and finding different ways to get out of trouble without relying on their fighting abilities (which is still a possibility, just not my favorite specialization option)

Zombie exodus safe haven: you can be a walking zombie killing Terminator

Champion of the gods: you are basically a demigod

I, the forgotten one: medieval badassery at a crazy high

Golden Rose: you play a menace to society lol you can take a punch from a dude called the mountain and smile at him with a bloody mouth. MC doesn’t give a fuck in this.

A mage reborn: being a mage with crazy power is always a kicker and makes anybody feel badass

Tin star: it’s hard not to feel badass when you can basically just go “so I started blasting” to solve problems.

Demon Recollect: this one is a crazy badass power fantasy.

That’s just the top of my head. Hard to remember everything when I’ve read so many lol.

More evil than bad ass, but in Safe Haven sometimes I love loading up a save where I’m playing as a short tempered alcoholic serial killer MC with delusions lol.

It’s good to be bad. Sometimes.:sunglasses:

SOS: the mortal coil

The Fallen Divine

Any story that doesn’t make me max one stat to succeed. How am I powered by my limitless imagination if I’m forced to pick the same stat every time in order to progress/succeed in a story? Sometimes I’m a complex, well-rounded individual with a full range of emotions and skills, instead of one.

Oh wow i forgot about Tin Star! I feel like they wrote that for the specific purpose of making the reader feel badass! So good!

I´m late for this great thread but here my games,
Basically any game with deep Wound, HP, Skills tests System, Inventory, its up on this list
But my personal favorites are:
Lost Heir Trilogy: Just so good, from start to finish, by the end you really felt like you can take on the world ^^ !!! with so many options and builds ^^ !!!
Zombie Exodus: If you train and choose the right skills, you feel like a savior during the apocalypse, you can Heal people, Shoot Hundreds of Zombies and help everyone, really feels nice when you can do these things !!!
Aura Clash and Path of Martials Artist: Are so Well Written, with a deep world and incredible gameplay system where you can choose multiple ways to became strong, be pure strenght, all elements and techniques, you as get stronger you really feel you get stronger and surpassing everyone else, not because you are the protagonist but because you trained harder, the feeling you get is wordless, especially when you defeat storng enemies.

Another options are: Tin Star old favorite, made me feel the biggest gunslinger in the old west,
Samurai Hyuga, Evertree Saga, golden Rose, Sword of Rivenia, all also made me feel Badass, strong,capable and nice ^^ !!! Specially Sword of Rivenia not in stats wise but because the npcs recognise you actions making you feel worth it.
Vampire the masquerade: Night_Road, the best one in my opinion really made you feel like a strong vampire, making feeling stronger by dealing with everything on the road

More recently Werewolf.The Apocalypse The Book of Hungry Names also was good,
and Shattered Oblivion also made you feel good. Specially in dark worlds.

While I do enjoy stepping into the shoes of someone badass by nature, like a superhero, a werewolf, or Challenger from Cliffhanger, I feel most badass when I can play a character who saves the day with the kind of skills I have in real life. In A Crown of Sorcery and Steel, I got to join an epic quest and help save the realm by being a history/folklore nerd. I was just a weird kid when I was six and poring over the Book of Leviticus in my first real Bible, but in The Ghost and the Golem having a head full of Jewish law helps me avert a genocidal mob. I used to have career ambitions like “writer” and “academician,” and The Play’s the Thing and Professor of Magical Studies let me topple a tyrant or save the world while living my dreams.
