Interesting, most of you seem to be saying that Myth is repetitive while Discworld is not, while I get the completely opposite impression.
I mean Discworld may have a lot of characters but any series with 38 (!) books in the same universe / setting and with the same style has to get boring sooner or later ! Nothing can last indefinitely without being watered-down, and 38 is way above the maximum limit... Besides, I've only like Color of Magic and found all the others I've read to be boring repeats of the same jokes or attempts at humour I just didn't find funny...
The Myth series on the other hand maybe has less characters (I can't testify to that since I haven't read all of Discworld, but Myth has at least a dozen major characters, which is A LOT) but they're varied and the jokes change across the series (talking about the first 12 here) and the object of the story changes, the first one for example is mostly about a bumbling apprentice and his mentor, while in the later once the former apprentice is the leader of a famous mercenary group, and in one book he doesn't even appear directly. I also love how the author changes the viewpoint from one character to the other, my favorite ones are the mob gorilla Guido and the dragon Gleep. The type of humour also changes across the series...
Having said that, what little I've read of the second Myth series didn't exactly blow me away... Maybe anything's bound to wither away (Wheel of Time is a horrible example of that). But maybe it will improve...
P.S.
Even without considering repetitiveness between sequels, we probably agree that the first books of the Myth / Discworld series are the best, and of those two the Myth book was much better for me.
However I'd much rather play a Discworld based game than a Myth-universe based one...

Giggly, that avatar of yours is just distractingly cute, every time it catches my eye I forget what I was thinking...
P.P.P.S.
Again with the overabundance of cat and dog avatars (3 already in this thread) ! This forum is like a zoo !
P.P.P.P.S. (isn't this a lot of P-ing ?
)
Myth is holding up fine in the poll for now, better than I expected...
