Soulcatcher. LitRPG series "Universe ICS": Book I (28:28)

Greyblood: Adventurer Academy: A LitRPG Series (31:44)

It has some flaws, but is a pretty good LitRPG story that has magical academy, coming of age themes, good action, crafting, and a tournament.

LitRPG News

A quick congratulations to Michael Chatfield for his amazing launch of the 4th Realm last week. It broke through the top 100 on all of Amazon for a number of days. I think it hit 86 or even lower at one point. But it just goes to show how well a LitRPG novel can do, even if it’s not on KU.

Michael Chatfield, author of the Emerialia series and The 10th Realm series, did a Facebook Live stream this week where he answered fan questions and made some announcements. He claimed full responsibility for the spelling errors in the latest book, the 4th Realm, as a product of him writing changes right before release.

Michael also announced that he’ll be putting books 1-3 of the 10 Realm series into the Kindle Unlimited program for 90 days, starting April 1st. He’s doing this to help out fans that have been begging him to put his stuff back on KU so they can afford to read it.

It’s a limited time project, so starting April 1st go get those books, cause they won’t be there forever.
