I’m Ramon Mejia. I’m here to bring you the latest LitRPG news, reviews, and author interviews. I have 6 new reviews just for you.
New Releases and Reviews:
The Azure Dragon: A Heroic Fantasy Saga (The Artar Chronicles Book 3)
Starts to lose the best parts of the story for me.
Score: 6 out of 10
Rise of the Crimson Order: A Crematoria Online LitRPG Novel
Mash of a lot of things, but the fantasy MMO detective thing felt forced to me.
Score: 6 out of 10
The Phoenix of Altria: Digital Sorcery Book 2 (A LitRPG Series)
Better opening section, but same adult humor.
Score: 7.5 out of 10
Executioner: Reign of Blood: A LitRPG Novel (Chasms of Corruption Book 2)
A decent read, but a few issues make it hard to reconnect with the story.
Score: 7.1 out of 10
Same likable MC, but less monster culture. Mostly a setup story.
Score: 7.2 out of 10
Monster [LitRPG series: The Beetle]
Monster MC. Interesting evolution system, but turns into slice of life adventure.
Score: 7.5 out of 10
