The Land of Diarrhea Online: A LitRPG Parody of GameLit
A Bunch of LitRPG Authors Get Trapped in an RPG!
Or are they in a real world with RPG mechanics? GameLit or LitRPG?
When some of the most famous writers in the LitRPG genre get trapped in an MMORPG at GryphonCon 2021, arguments are bound to happen. Can they remember all the tropes and avoid all the traps while learning to work together? Will they discover who is behind their imprisonment before it’s too late?
Take a peek inside to see if you might like to go along with me on this wild ride through the meta side of the genre we all love. This novel is for authors (with all my respect) and readers (with all my love). See how many Easter Eggs you can find! Sorry, no DeLorean prize…

Death's Mantle 2
There isn't much time left for Lucian North to save his brother.
Discovering a new way to grow exponentially stronger, Lucian forms an unsteady alliance with the angel Danira, one that he hopes could grow into something more.
Matters are complicated once Lucian is given a deadline by the Council of Death: produce his predecessor, who has mysteriously disappeared, or be tortured until he relinquishes his mantle.
Hunted by parasites, injuresouls, fallen angels, and now his own kind, Lucian must level up in a way he's never fathomed before, crafting everything from mechas to bone armor designed to withstand even the strongest attack. He must forge new alliances, realize the impermanence of the alliances he already has made, and even become a Death Hunter if he hopes to save his brother from certain doom.
But that's not all that's at stake.
As Lucian grows closer to his goal, he's blindsided by an attack that he never saw coming. He's also asked to do something that will reignite a war between the Progeny of Light and the Progeny of Darkness.
The decision Lucian makes will have grave consequences for his future, and that's before his final discovery, one that threatens the very existence of his family.
It's going to be an uphill battle from start to finish. And while Lucian is always up to the challenge, he may not be ready for the consequences.
Tales of a Northblood: Winter's Breath: A LitRPG Saga
From bestselling LitRPG author Carrie Summers comes a new saga about survival on a wind-swept coast.
Jace, a backcountry ranger assigned to patrol the wilderness of North America, was hiking when abruptly he was somewhere...else.

And then the strange game messages started appearing in his vision.
With no explanation for how he arrived here, Jace must nonetheless learn to survive in a merciless environment, crafting everything with his own hands. He must learn the art of combat and how to control the powerful abilities that surface in his body. Northblood, they'll call him. A blessing and a curse.
On the bright side, he's totally buff. And there's this hot redheaded game tester who was pulled from her old life and shoved into his.
Things could definitely be worse.

My Opinion: 427 pages, $4.99, Available On Kindle Unlimited
A rather good slice of life story that had me interested from the very first pages. It’s set up as an upload to a fantasy RPG world but has a good bit of detail in character creation and gamer thinking. The main character is in the game world by the 5% mark and the adventures and use of RPG powers are well written, well thought out, and just fun to read. Characters are well fleshed out and there’s really good world building that makes shopping for new gear as interesting as the well written combat.
On the game mechanic side of things, it’s fairly familiar with characters sheets, skills, magic, item descriptions, and other notifications. There’s a fair bit of crunch here, but not so much that it interrupts the flow of the story.
Overall, I liked the balance between the fantasy story and the game mechanics and enjoyed following the MC as he went on his adventures. I hope to read another in the series soon.
Score: 7.7 out of 10

There are many worlds in the cosmos. Many of them have rules and laws that are utterly alien to the world that we know. Most never leave the world they were born into, never even know or suspect that other worlds even exist.

But some few are given the gift of Transfering after death, to live their next life in a different world, with memories of their past lives to enrich the world they go to with new concepts and new ideas, and bringing back those same from the world they visited when it is time for their next cycle in their old world.
A young woman suffers a tragic fate, and is granted the ability to Transfer. She is reincarnated into a new world, full of monsters and magic, things that would be mere myths and legends to her in her old life. This time, she promises, will be different. She doesn't have to be weak here. She doesn't have to be a victim. She can be strong, and no one will ever control her again!

Game Port: #BlueMatterSeries v1 (Blue Matter Series)
Her last sim took everything she had. This one took what was left.
Tamsin Noonien is level 0 . . . and that's all she knows. She learns her name from a stranger who seems more confused than she is about where they are. He can't even work the user interface. Tam is the one who figures out they're in a virtual reality game--one with no exit.
Desperate for answers, she begins a series of quests to regain her memory. The more she learns, however, the more betrayed she feels.

But this time, the project leaders have lost control of the sim. The game has been infiltrated by saboteurs--the same anti-tech religious fanatics who killed Tam's parents. They seem hell-bent on destroying the sim and everyone in it.
Tam has one chance to get her old life back. But it will mean joining forces with the people who deceived her, playing their game, and trusting everyone to get it right.
