I’m here to second the recommendations for Bastion (The Great Immortal Souls) by Phil Tucker and Iron Prince by Bryce O’Connor and Luke Chmilenko. Extremely well written.
He Who Fights With Monsters by Shirtaloon is also quite an enjoyable read, but has a very polarizing main character - you either love him or hate him.

Honestly the only two progression fantasy series that I can recommend are Cradle by Will Wight, and The Immortal Great Souls by Phil Tucker.
Warformed: Stormweaver is also great, but only the first book, Iron Prince, is out.
I’m currently halfway through The Last Echo of the Lord of Bells by John Bierce, as well as procrastinating starting Waybound by Will Wight. Progression Fantasy is my thing right now.
I’m here to fight the good fight. Huge Sanderson fan. Really wish we could get the progression fantasy subs here too, but that’s a pipe dream at the moment.
Most of the time its kind of hard to get through all the content in one session. Players dabble, and I often underestimate the amount of time everyone spends socializing, bonding, or even just exploring – before progressing to the next plot point.
I need to get better at this too.
This was the line for me. Apollo had great tools and filters which made Reddit usable. Even bearable. I can’t be bothered to wade through the swamp without it.
Very similar to how Reddit used to be. I expect higher quality content here, and so far, I’ve found it. Just waiting on a few niche communities to be created, but I expect they will pop up in time. Good riddance to Reddit.
And the less said about other social media sites the better.
