I’m Ramon Mejia. I’m here to bring you the latest LitRPG news, reviews, and author interviews. I have 8 new LitRPG reviews just for you.
New Releases and Reviews:
Siphon (A Touch of Power Book 1) (05:47)
There are some world building flaw, but the main character is one that you want to root for.
Score: 7.2 out of 10
The Idle System: The New Journey (14:38)
The unique Idle System game mechanic will appeal to micromanaging gamers.
Score: 7.4 out 10
Changing World: The Beginning (19:41)
Translation issues may bother some, but the slice of life story was entertaining.
Score: 7.6 out of 10
RiftWorlds Online: Book 1 - Space Opera Insertion (23:47)
While the story is never boring and the action is well written, the issues with the premise and the predictability of the story reduced my enjoyment.
Score: 6 out of 10
High School Dungeon Crawl: Level 1 (30:49)
Not particularly entertaining.
Score: 5 out of 10
Rank Zero: A Sci-Fi LitRPG (Cyberlinks Book 1) (Cyberlinks Trilogy) (33:04)
Not bad cyberpunk, but not good LitRPG.
Score: 6 out of 10
The Realm Between: The Curse: A LitRPG Saga (Book 1) (39:01)
Novel blurb over hypes it. It’s neither epic, or filled with nightmarish monsters. It’s slice of life and the MC fights pixies and goblins.
Score: 6 out of 10
Viridian Gate Online: Side Quest: A litRPG Anthology (47:22)
While I didn’t love every story, I had a good time reading most.
Score: 7 out of 10
