the best ones:

Trimps (best traditional idle game by far)
Realm Grinder (you can make it a lot less idle by using your brain to utilize a bunch of diverse strategies for each phase of the game, but it's still very much an idle game)

I've had Clicker Heroes and Cookie Clicker games going for a long time, but I don't do many tricks to get incredibly far in them.

I've seen a lot of ads for them but I've never figured out where the fun part comes in

Clicker Heroes was always a good time, and I enjoyed working my way through Realm Grinder quite a bit. I'm not playing any at the moment, though.

Mostly, they just scratch the "sense of progression" itch that RPG's cater to in the most direct way possible. There's virtually no sense of genuine accomplishment because you really aren't doing anything yourself, but the steady feeling of progressing is enough to keep them engaging for some people.

Not currently, but i've got sucked into them before. Honestly, i wouldn't recommend any of them.

Seconded. They're not really fun in the same way an actual game is, but they do scratch an itch and they're a decent time waster.

I remember playing what I think was the original idle game back when it was just a way to use the chatrooms on kongregate without needing to find a new game to play. It was super basic. They made a sequel with a tiny amount of agency and then a ton of others started popping up.

It's fun to optimize systems and watch your progress increase exponentially but I feel like the drive to play them is more compulsion than enjoyment. As such I haven't played any in a long time.

kongregate was launched in 2006 and the oldest one i know of (progress quest) was 2002, so it definitely was nowhere near the original one

I was wondering if there had been more before then. The game I was talking about was a fair bit into kongregate's existence as well. Probably at least like 2008 or later. I had never seen them before and then after a lot started popping up. I can't even find the game now. It had a super generic name. I think it might literally have been called "idle game".
