Can't pick just seven. I don't want to leave any of my favorites out, and there are at least ten, maybe more...

My favorite, Inheritance, is sadly no longer a regular. Amazing to see that the Hidden knowledge still is tho, all these years later. One of these days I’ll try to figure out the cipher and reread them.

Bigger. You seem to publish just one update a year and I think this is a great story. Friend Request. Another good one. In the past 2 years, 3 updates. Unknown Pleasures. Three updates in the past 3 years. The Persuader. Two updates last year. And Sudo. One update in the past 3 years.

It's very rare for any title to get more than two updates per year; most only get about one (or one and a half, by average). There are exceptions (like Achievement this year), but not many and not often.

Achievement begs to differ! But I understand that's an exception.

Well maybe that's something to consider. Posting a story more frequently, but bringing it to a conclusion, and then creating a new story and posting that more frequently. You always can (and frequently do) create a new chapter/version like Found Objects, By the Book, etc. if there is an interest to bring a story back.

Ring Cycle and Trigger Warning are my current favorites, and for a lot of the same reasons. The art is great. Single controller and a manageably sized cast. Post-MC behavior changes steadily building up. A+
Unknown Pleasures and Friend Request are up there as well. Same reasons, but the art gives the edge to the first two.
Starter Marriage got Phase 2 and 3 this year, and it made a big difference. Part 1 was interesting, but I was skeptical. Multipath often translates to "only half the story will be of interest to any given reader" but there's enough to sink your teeth into now.
Roll Playing 2 continues to be a delight. The new characters are integrated well, and the story keeps moving forward while maintaining the fun tone.
Finally, I've really enjoyed Achievement, though the very frequent updates definitely help that. In one year, it reached the point Inheritance was at before it went away, with the main character ready to learn about the means of control and start deciding for himself how to employ it. The sorceress being an eager slave rather than the aloof, mysterious mentor you'd expect was also a fun surprise.

The best two were definitely Found Objects 3 and Waiting Room imo.

Seems like it's your lucky day, friend

Bigger continues to be my favorite title on the site. The cliffhanger at the end of the last issue was particularly wild, and I'm looking forward to seeing where things go from here.
Starter Marriage is an amazing achievement, and despite hours on the title I know I still haven't explored it fully.
Daily Grind was an excellent one-shot, and I'll always make sure there is a Mukor title in my "best of" voting.
The Help and Flesh for Fantasy are both extremely hot titles, and while the later has been more focused on the "training/conditioning/transformation" aspect for its 2022 issues, the former still keeps up the class commentary that binds these two in my mind.
