Nowadays, if you build a desktop, you get 6 slot of RAM.
If you buy a laptop, you get 1 slot, and have to buy a single expensive 32gb ram to replace the old one. If you unlucky enough, you can have onboard RAM with no way to upgrade.
Yeah dudes. That is how apple work. And my Lenovo only have 1 slot of 16gb Ram, to get 32 gb RAM i got to buy it at Lenovo center because it is so rare no repair shop or store have it on hand.
I think you should looking for xianxia genres. Xianxia is gamelit, but in the opposite way :D because the book usually write long before game is popular, and game follow their concept.
Usually, xianxia is like you play rpg, you farm or quest, accumulated resources (which you can consume directly, or exchange for pill and drug and food that you can consume, or weapon, manual), then consume resource (i.e: spend hard-earn money to make you stronger), then get stronger, level up, beat the boss (optional), go to next map, repeat.
But usually the whole novel is an interesting journey without too much of repetition.
