In case anyone was wondering what I've been doing the past few months, well, I tried the litrpg genre for the first time back in January. Then poof, 3 months had past. Here are some tips if anyone's interested, with highlights curated for fedi:

Wolf of the Blood Moon by Shane Purdy

Wolfgirl. Only first book in audio, more on the way. MC seems aro/ace, possibly autistic?

Fallen Lands by C Peinhopf

Foxgirl/kitsune. MC is a teenager, very little romance, no sexy stuff.

Talyn's Saga by Benjamin Medrano

Succubus. Poly-lesbian. Mostly off-screen or fade-to-black sexy stuff, despite being kinda horny.

Beneath the Dragoneye Moons by Selkie Myth

Healer who made an unbreakable oath to "do no harm" essentially when she was 8, in a very violent world (with dinosaurs!) I think she's revealed to be gay in later books. (She's like 8-15 in the first couple of books.)

Ich lese seit Michael Atamanovs „Kräutersammler der Finsternis“ dieses Genre. War meine erste Reihe und eine der ersten auf deutsch. Hat mich sofort gepackt. Ich kann quasi zocken ohne zu zocken.
Mein eigener Roman wird im gleichen Genre spielen.
Fantasy ist der Schwerpunkt, allerdings wird es auch Scifi-Elemente geben.
Wer Lust hat, sich das näher anzuschauen: Eine Miniserie aus dem Universum meines Romans läuft auf #Patreon

Loose Kanin launches today! This is book 2 of my friend's Glass Kanin series, and it is an amazing, funny, heart wrenching ride!
(From the author): If you like LitRPG and wish it was more queer, or if you don't like LitRPG but are willing to read a weird, gay book about a man made out of glass, Books 1 & 2 (Glass Kanin and Loose Kanin) are on sale this week!

Morning Folks! This morning I talked a bit about wrapping up the #DungeonCrawlerCarl series of books this weekend and why I fell in love with the cast of characters. Additionally why #LitRPG might not be my genre after diving into #KaijuBattlefieldSurgeon.

QSFer Kia Leep has a new queer LitRPG Isekai fantasy (gay, lesbian, non-binary) out, book one of the NPSessds SAGA: Glass Kanin.

As a rising actor, Kanin’s body is his career. His identity. His life. All that is taken from him when he dies and is reborn as a bottle of ink.

Now living as the heart of a magical glass servant, Kanin’s new purpose is to perform a senile wizard’s yard work ...

When B-actor Kanin dies, his soul is bound to a bottle of ink, spelled to do an old wizard's chores. While learning his new D&D like surroundings w/ the help of a toy octopus, he learns he's not the only one tied to his glass vial-a Predator with a taste for souls is, too.

I've finished my first book of 2025 and it was awesome!
Dungeon Crawler Carl is also the first "LitRPG" book I've ever read, and I have a strong feeling I'll become OBSESSED with this genre. The remainder of this series is firmly in my TBR, and I've added "He Who Fights With Monsters" and "Life In The North" too.

I'll have some more thoughts on this after I'm sufficiently caffeinated.
#Books #litrpg

It's been something like six months since my last #introduction so I thought it would be a good time to post an update!

I work in #manufacturing - as in I'm a drone in a factory. I'm still coming down from #Halloween, though recent #USPolitics have had a sobering effect (to say the least). Huge fan of #books, #VideoGames, #music, and, as of this year, #movies. Lately, I've been reading a crapload of #LitRPG. I take my #LittleFreeLibrary way more seriously than I should. Recently, I've been #writing more and I'm kind-of-sort-of participating in #WritingMonth (or #NaNoWriMo if ya nasty). I've got #fantasy, #SciFi, and #horror projects in the works. I'm into #PCGaming and I love my #SteamDeck to death.

Umm... Yup! That about sums me up. Here's a dancing baby:

I've been spending too much time on Royal Road lately. As much as I dislike Amazon, Kindle Unlimited is how the authors writing the things I want to read make a living. Well, "living" might be overstating it a bit. Never-the-less, I can't afford to subscribe to fifty Patreons, and at least someone, somewhere, gets something if I read on KU. Problem is that Royal Road is way better at pushing me books I enjoy than Amazon/Goodreads are, and literally none of the openweb book sites (bookworm, etc.) seem to have any #litrpg readers at all. So anyone wanna sell me on something on #KindleUnlimitted? Right now, I'm looking for #cozy #litrpg or #ProgressionFantasy, #HaremLit and smut are okay as long as there's also plot, #PowerFantasy only if the main character is a sweetheart, and I have a slight preference for #Isekai or #PortalFantasy, or fun offbeat main characters. I'm in the mood for something that vaguely matches the vibes of stuff like Terminate the Other World! by Icalos, Courier Quest by Flossindune, This Used To Be About Dungeons by Alexander Wales, or Beesong Chronicles by Benjamin Medrano. Please don't recommend anything by Logan Jacobs or Eric Vall; they always sound okay, but end up disappointing me. Kindle Unlimited isn't a hard requirement, I'll buy a book if it matches the above vibes and isn't on KU.

Fun #litrpg with a deaf queer main character. Don’t get many of these because they often get review bombed. But that’s not the only reason to read it; it’s well written, with an original idea and compelling characters. Glass Kanin [Books 1 & 2 Complete!] | Royal Road www.royalroad.com/fiction/79100/glass-kanin-books-1-2-complete

If you’re looking for a #litrpg that does a good job of balancing fun slice of life with asking difficult thoughtful questions, and is actually complete, give this one a go! I binged it over the last few days. An Unbound Soul | Royal Road www.royalroad.com/fiction/38292/an-unbound-soul #webnovel #scifi #fantasy

If you're reading this, please #boost so I can get back to being federated with the #fediverse. Unfortunately, the data center I've been hosting with for years and years encountered some serious issues. I had to move suddenly, losing almost everything. I took the chance to change the software I use. But I've still lost all of my followers, all of my federation, etc! It's also taken down rblind.com, my passion project to get more #blind folks off #reddit. I'll be bringing that back over the coming days. In the meantime, hi! I'm a blind guy who uses the #NVDA #screenreader, loves #accessibility and works in the field, and reads tons of #fanfic, #litrpg, and #sciencefiction and #fantasy in my spare time. Nice to meet you!

I've Finished: The first book of the Chrysalis 3 book bundle by RinoZ

The Antventure Begins

I don't usually read books based on progression games.

I found Chrysalis repetitive but entertaining.

It was recommended by @futurebird, an Ant enthusiast that assured me the Ant facts in it are correct.

I guess it is based on a single player type game so no party with multiple characters. Antony does gain a pet monster, but mistreats it quite a bit.

He also often declares that the colony is above all, but acts selfishly to advance his own stills.

There is allot of combat action with thought given to melee tactics, but not much thought to what type of skill or attack is more effective against a particular monster. There are time that it is clear that magical attacks are more effective as Antony continues to try and power bite through almost impenetrable hide.

I did enjoy it as a popcorn read.

Note that the book ends in the middle of a major event, so getting the 3 book bundle may be a good idea.
