17Sphynx17 i end up lnmtl the book myself and finished i was hoping that the GT release would be up to the level of the 1st tl'ers but its a pity its not as its lost a few bits in the TL as has made the book feel worse then it should be ..don't get me wrong its not the worlds best novel in anyway , but its a good little fix for a gaming novel if it was handled better
Zhan Long very good novel!!

IF you want to to ask for recommendations as opposed to Zhan Long. I would recommend the following.
The King's Avatar is something I personally recommend. I watched the anime and even read the latest translated manhua/manga. It is not a cliche story with "repetitive" storyline, as far as I have read it. I am at 1050 chapters read already here. It is not just about gaming but explores the life of a pro gamer.
For a good laugh that knows how to make acts to break the story, I would recommend The Strongest System. It is a story about cultivation with "the strongest system". Act 1 is clearly defined and even Act 2 as well. There is some repetition, but it is unavoidable given the type of humor in the story. It is, for me, bordering on slap stick but it has its reasons because he can technically level up a skill infinitely as long as a proper opponent is in front of him. Give it a try.
For a harem story, NEET is okay. There are some cliches, and I hated one arc specifically but I still read it. Here though, I enjoy it more for the possibilities. I sometimes comment on a chapter and make a "fanfic" of what could be done/written about. It has humor and the characters react like you could imagine a manga/anime character behave. If that is your cup of tea.
I can also personally recommend the Gate of God for fun. But there is literally no explanation of levels of cultivation in the 70+ chapters I've read. I just read it for fun and I would place it like Zhan Long that introduced mutants all of a sudden. Here in around chapter 75, they introduced demons. I don't even recall them mentioning demons existed before in the world. So I was caught by surprise.
The Experimental Log of the Crazy Lich is something that has potential to me. It is a fun read and I have only read 30+ chapters. Though I skip around 20% of contents of the chapters. I can see potential in the story that's why i am not dropping it like I did Release the Witch. But a lot of people also like Release the Witch for the World Building and intrigue of royalty trying to kill each other. So you may try that as well if it is to your liking.
Hope that helps.
As for Zhan Long, rather than that, I would read Shura's Wrath at GT. And that's practically done already. Completely translated and you just need to wait for the remaining 80 or 90 chapters to be released daily. =) It has some "Graphic" intimate scenes but nothing overboard I think. And this is literally a harem story where before the story started, he already has experienced multiple partners. So hope that helps. Shuras Wrath is only around 850 chapters total.
Pizz Yeah. I tried reading lnmtl but couldn't take it so I literally searched forums of other site for answers.
The current translator releases almost like 1 a week, that's already lucky. I don't blame the translator though. But it affects the overall enjoyment of it. The story had a good start and potential but it is too tiring to wait for it to complete now. I rather forget about it now and be happy with the spoilers I got.
As an equivalent to Zhan Long, I guess MMORPG: Rebirth of the Legendary Guardian is on a similar level of quality. Not that great especially the later parts. I more or less just breeze through a fight chapter now and don't even read the skills because too much already. It has real life things happening so that's a thing there.
It also has the competitions where the MC participates so maybe that can work.

17Sphynx17 have you tried overgeared i know its not a QI or GT release but if you can get passed the 1st 120 chapters, its great even the tl'er said on release before you get past about the 120 mark, you're want to kill the mc yourself ,
also on GT Shura's Wrath is very good, it's got a few faults in it bit if you can get past those its a very good gaming
also, their are a few free tools that I'm sure even the tl'ers use that can give you less mental damage, as your having to wait for the real tl'er release to come out if you decided to use that will help when reading lnmtl stuff , i would put the links in but i don't want to upset QI due to the site a few come from and they don't get a long to well , but Novelupdates site is a good place to set looking :)
Pizz I've actually read shura's wrath until chapter 750 =) Gave the recommendation on my reply to the poster. I'm just letting it complete naturally know. But I already know the dilemma in the end =) And some spoilers as I also searched forums. I rate it higher than Zhan Long or even Beauty and the Bodyguard which I tried reading. I am not as updated now compared to 2 weeks ago where I was able to read the latest chapter. The release of BAB has also been waning for some reason. I know the TLer is resting but I recall the promise was reduce to 1 a day from 2 a day previously. At any rate, BAB is like Zhan Long for me. It's fun enough to read, not gaming related though. But the MC is strong and is also a medical genius.
17Sphynx17 yeah I finished SW via lmt but still reading it on gt as well, sorry I missed that you had read it or I'd have not said about it,
but I was spending 90% hitting f5 trying to get the 515 stones lol

yeah really hope for Zhan Long, for who really following GT they must be know CSG and ZL is their trump card back then, its good The Lord Empire and Shura's Wrath is on GT good Mr.Voltaire, anyway ZL translation i think its good enough but just the release date, the translator is still on study + no one giving donation so there must be something that make the TL a bit no passion on it
