Critical Failures V (Caverns and Creatures Book 5)
The core gang you’ve come to love over the course of the last four books has broken up. Stacy and her brother Tim are on their own. Tempers flare when the larger group thinks Tim is trying to screw them over after a member of his group accidently steals the dice they need to get home to the real world.
What follows is a funny multi-narrative story where everyone is searching for TIm. People are forced to take sides and of course, nothing goes as planned for anyone.
The Hour of Pain (The Way of the Shaman: a bonus story)
Super short read that retells the last scene of book 5 from Anastaria’s perspective. For the price of $3 for about 20 pages, it’s super overpriced. However, the story puts the events at the end of book 5 in a completely new light. However, this is something that’s likely to be covered in book 6 when it comes out. I enjoyed it but I really wish the short story was on Kindle Unlimited or just cheaper.
The Bard: A LitRPG Short Story (The Greenwood Book 4)
Romeo el Mejor, best bard in the world, or at least in the City of Vinab in the virtual reality massively multiplayer online game: The Greenwood, is about to put on a play when a goddess appears and asks him to run an errand for her.

She is also remarkably pretty.
A light hearted LitRPG short story set in the Greenwood.

But when Daniel finds a strange tower in the woods that leads to a secret developer-built treasure room, he patches the ENTIRE GAME WORLD into a shocking new form. Suddenly players are able to hurt each other with swords and spells - and death has more consequence than a simple respawn! And Daniel discovers that Mesmers have the ability to use their powers to control other players - like the gorgeous elf girl he's been lusting after for weeks...

He’ll need every ounce of unconventional strategy if he’s to win the game with his team.
The Merchant of Tiqpa 2 (The Bathrobe Knight Book 5)
Locke finds himself between a rock and a hard place, as old urges and new desires compete to shape the life and death decisions that he must make in his quest to save the kingdom from the brink of corruption.
My Opinion: About 400 pages, $3.99, Not Available on Kindle Unlimited
One of the things I like about this series is that it’s almost a standalone adventure story. If you’ve read the other books in the series you get more from the text but if you haven’t then you still get to enjoy a funny, action- adventure story.
The Merchant of Tiqpa series, in general, is smaller in scope than the Bathrobe Knight part. This book is no different. It’s not epic and world-shaking. Instead, it’s Lock, his satirical friend Reginald, and the warrior Eliza on an adventure in a city of merchants. Trying to find a way to take over for their guild. It’s fun.
Score: 7 out of 10
Eondrias Book 1: A new Master of Dungeons
Originally the Master of Dungeons software were A.I. that ran live-action dungeons. The players could smash up sophisticated robots engineered for that one purpose and feel good, strong and heroic.
Until that fateful night, where an update to one of the Master of Dungeons A.I. pushed it over the threshold separating artificial intelligence from artificial sentience.

Entertainment, almost exclusively, of themselves and each other. What's left of the human race occasionally gets thrown in for some additional fun.

Primal Gaming - The Murder of Timothy Smithton: Part One
A satirical LitRPG erotica crime thriller novella. A lot of genres for one story, huh?
Shaun Winter, a detective in the real world who is just trying his best to stay off people's radars, and a Lady of the Night in game, and no, that wasn't his choice. Shaun hates the game, but when Timothy Smithton, a dear... acquaintance of Shaun is murdered and the only lead available is in Primal's 50s America mode 'Golden Age' he has to suck up his deep disdain for the game and pull on a corset and heels.
My Opinion: 127 pages, $0.99, Available on Kindle Unlimited
Priced ok but real simply not LitRPG. It’s not bad erotica but the VR mostly serves as a medium to explore sexual fantasy. A male detective goes undercover online as a female sex worker to get close to the bad guys. The extent of game stuff is that the story exists in a VR world. No game mechanics, no levels, no stats, no XP, nothing. It’s just a place the story takes place.
If you want to read some LitRPG erotica, I’d suggest reading Scottie Futch’s Galataea series and Freelance Saga.
