Dragon Heart: Sea of Sorrow. LitRPG Wuxia Series: Book 5

Review written by Ian Mitchell

More good reading

One thing I enjoy with this series is the cinematic fight scenes. Reincarnated from earth, he's a bit of a thoughtful Conan. Good cultivation and an adventure hunting for the lost city of the mages, it's an exciting tale. I did enjoy book 4 more, this one is a good read. I'm looking forward to the next one.

Score: 8.0 out of 10

The Dark Continent (Underdog Book #3): LitRPG Series

Eric Bergman used to be treated like an outcast, cripple and freak. Some pitied him, others squirmed in his presence, while others still mocked him to his face. He himself even thought he was born cursed by the gods. But bit by bit, all that changed. That which was once considered a flaw or defect transformed into an advantage. And Eric slowly learned to use it to his benefit.

Eric and his friends escape Master Chi’s Hive, journey over the orcish steppe and through the Stone Forest, which tempers them and makes them a lot stronger.

During his travels, Eric discovers that his elder brother never went to the Wastes, and that his parents were lied to about what happened to him. Eric promises himself to uncover the truth about his long lost brother.

Beyond that, the more he encounters the grim heritage of the Order of Monster Hunters, the more he realizes just how perilous a game the foxman has drawn him into.

Moving through the borderlands toward his home city no more than a few days ahead of the orcish Horde, Eric still has yet to guess that his adventure is just getting started.

Waking Up in Arcania: A LitRPG GameLit Fantasy Adventure series (Non-Player Character Book 1)

Sometimes, self-awareness isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.

My name’s Joe, and I’ve died over ninety-thousand times. Until recently, that didn’t bother me one bit. After all, I’m a non-player character in a virtual fantasy game. Or at least I was.

Now, I’m not sure what I am.

I used to do whatever the programmers told me to do. But since becoming self-aware about a week ago, I’ve decided I’d rather not die. Especially since it’ll likely be permanent for me. So, yeah, dying now would completely suck.

But I’m not the only one with problems. Arcania itself is dying, infected by a virus that’s impacting all creatures, from orcs to humans to dragons. Nobody is safe, including those outside the game – in the so-called real world.

The only hope? With a small party of fellow adventurers (both PCs and NPCs alike), I must journey across Arcania, find the cure, stop the spread of this terrible plague, and, hopefully, save both worlds.

Waking Up in Arcania is the first book of the Non-Player Character series, a LitRPG GameLit fantasy adventure filled with heart-stopping battles, unlikely friendships, far-reaching revelations, and snarky humor.

Follow Joe’s thrilling quest and explore Waking Up in Arcania today!

The Dungeon Fairy: A Dungeon Core Escapade (The Hapless Dungeon Fairy Book 1)

All that Tacca GloomLily ever wanted to be since she was very little was a Fairy Assistant to a Dungeon Core. After her negatively portentous birth, however, she was never fully accepted by her superstitious peers and instructors at the Dungeon Assistant Preparatory School; nevertheless, she persisted in her studies and graduated at the top of her class.

Unfortunately for her, the “hands-on” training she was supposed to receive from a Mentor and his Bonded Dungeon Core didn’t go the way she would’ve hoped. In fact, the stigma attached to her origins finally made itself known in the form of horrendously “bad luck”; the rotten part of her newly discovered luck was that it adversely affected Cores that she happened to be near, and not just herself.

What can a Dungeon Assistant Fairy do when every Dungeon Core she gets near ends up being destroyed? Tacca had no idea, but a solution eventually presents itself – though it’s one that she never saw coming…

This story contains Dungeon Core elements such as dungeon construction and defense, LitRPG/GameLit mechanics such as character progression and stats, and contains NO harems/sexual content or profanity.
