Currently reading The Wandering Inn, a fantasy web serial.
It’s really hard to communicate just how good it is, because the synopsis sounds very much like a million really bad books.
It’s set in a fantasy universe where RPG things like levels and classes and skills are all real… And humans from Earth start appearing in this world for reasons unknown.
Told you it sounds like a bunch of other (bad) books. I promise it’s great though. The writing goes hard. Characters are distinct and feel fleshed out, and the author isn’t afraid to kill off a character you like - or to give you sympathy for the devil.
It’s a long series, but it’s never been dull. And if you don’t believe me (fair, you hardly know me), it was also the highest-grossing serial on Patreon for long time. I still pay my monthly due just to get access to the latest chapter a few days early.
The whole thing is available online for free (barring the latest chapter delayed for a few days).
I think most all of us here on Lemmy are people with technical background. Most of my professional contacts remained using Reddit, Twitter and even excited when Threads launched....
"In the 17th century, a certain amount of what was printed contributed to what ultimately became a Scientific Revolution.
But a great deal more was devoted to alchemy, astrology, witch-finding and obscure arguments about the difference between transubstantiation and consubstantiation — in short, to superstition."
I went a bit farther and used the built in variable to set color, as well as setting the font weight down to match the "n hours ago" text, and changing " - " to "@" so that the uesrname matched the standard fediverse string that you can put into search boxes
I'll publish this properly as soon as greasyfork sends me an email to authenticate my new account, but in the meantime here's the source. EDIT: Email has yet to arrive 13 hours later, I doubt it's going to. Anyone interested feel free to publish this somewhere it's easier for people to install.

Bookworms of Lemmy, what are you currently reading?
And what’s on your to read shelf?
How many Lemmy users are non-technical background?
I think most all of us here on Lemmy are people with technical background. Most of my professional contacts remained using Reddit, Twitter and even excited when Threads launched....
Youtube added shorts to the subscriptions page, pushing the subscriptions almost entirely off the page... (lemmy.world)
I prefer “list” view over grid view. Switching to grid view shows six videos before the break, but significantly less information about the video.
Why do posts that aren’t from kbin show “kbin.social” next to the title? (media.kbin.social)
