So I've been reading The Wandering Inn, which is amazing btw, but it's started getting a little intense and I want to take a break for a bit. I wanted to read something similar, and I like how serious the author takes the topic. Does anyone have any recommendations? I've already blasted through Hedge Wizard and Arcane Ascension for additional references.

Edit: here's a compiled list of the recommendations so far, and where I'm putting them.

Currently Reading: Cradle

To-Read: Practical Guide to Evil, Bastion, Mother of Learning

To Check Out: Beware of Chicken, Only Villains Do, Way of Choices,

This feels like a pretty solid list, but I'll update as I go.

I'm assuming you've read Cradle? Bastion was pretty good, and Mother of Learning. If you're open to litrpgs Dungeon Crawler Carl

I've tried Dungeon Crawler Carl, it was almost too gamified for me. I have read Cradle, but haven't touched the other two. I'll give 'em a whirl!

Edit: looking at my read-list again, I actually don't see Cradle on there. I think I'll start with that since I could have sworn I'd read it already.

Oh yeh, that's because dungeon crawler carl is a litrpg so it's supposed to be all into the numbers and be gamified. The other ones are just progression RPGs so should be more alone your lines
