New Releases and Reviews:

World Tree Online: The Duchess of Hammers: 2nd Dive Begins (09:37)

It captures all the adventure from book 1 and kicks it up a notch with better pacing.

Score: 7.6 out of 10

https://amzn.to/2ABx3UI

Neverfall: Mark of the Hero (Book 1): (A Gamelit Lit RPG Series) (12:46)

Score: 4 out of 10

https://amzn.to/2NBUgxs

Score: 6 out of 10

https://amzn.to/2D3Xiph

Has flaws but entertaining slice of life cultivation LitRPG.

I’m Ramon Mejia. I’m here to bring you the latest LitRPG news, reviews, and author interviews. I have 9 new LitRPG reviews just for you.

New Releases and Reviews:

Dungeon Desolation (Divine Dungeon book 4) (06:14)

The story is filled with punny humor, adventure, cultivation, and some pretty awesome battles.

Score: 7.8 out of 10

https://amzn.to/2IAKh6x

Dark Elf Chronicles Book Two: Survivors (10:06)

There are lots of new characters in both the IRL and game storyline, lots of adventures, and even a bit of sadness.

Score: 7.5 out of 10

https://amzn.to/2Pt8K3y

Beginnings (Peaks of Power Book 1) (13:17)

Overall, while there were some marked improvements made to the story from early drafts, it still has pacing and storytelling problems.

Score: 6 out of 10

https://amzn.to/2NyRREt

Monster Core (28:37)

Overall, the story has good action and dungeon creation.

Score: 7.2 out of 10

https://amzn.to/2Rm9cOt

Warlock: Reign of Blood: A LitRPG Novel (33:14)

Overall, it is a pretty decent action adventure story with some good storytelling.

Score: 7.4 out of 10

https://amzn.to/2CE3bs3

ZOMBIE SLAYER!!: A LitRPG Apocalypse (36:44)

It’s basically more of an XP grind than a proper tense zombie apocalypse story.

Score: 5 out of 10

https://amzn.to/2yvZFNO

Necromancer System: A Dark Fantasy LitRPG (Book 1) (39:00)

Dark and brutal story, but it was the rape scenes that made me dislike it.

Score: 4 out of 10

https://amzn.to/2CFf1T1

BASE Status: Online: An Unlikely Hero's LitRPG Journey (44:42)

As a cyber thriller, this isn’t bad. As LitRPG, it’s not good since the RPG game stuff doesn’t matter to the story.

Score: 4 out of 10

https://amzn.to/2xHs1DB

Murderworld: A LITRPG Novel (50:50)

There is a cyberpunk competitive fighting game in the story but there are absolutely no RPG mechanics anywhere.

Score: 4 out of 10

LitRPG News

This week Blaise Corvin shared some cover art for his super secret collaborative project he’s been working on with William D. Arand. No details on what the project is about, but Blaise did write that it will be launched early December.

Kevin McLaughlin, author of the LitRPG series Valhalla Online and over 40 other novels, was interviewed about his book on writing called on “You Must Write”. It’s an interesting interview with some good advice about being a professional writer.

Hey, Real Quick. I wrote a story called Planet Bound and it’s out now on Amazon. Please check it out. This is a sci-fi survival story with augmented reality, a snarky AI, upgrade mechanics, resource gathering, crafting, alien creatures, and space pirates. It’s a fun story and I think you’ll like it.

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

https://amzn.to/2xqkKZb

The Idle System: The New Journey (14:38)

The unique Idle System game mechanic will appeal to micromanaging gamers.

Score: 7.4 out 10

https://amzn.to/2Oeb79D

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

https://amzn.to/2ILmi4D

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

https://amzn.to/2zW6sRJ

High School Dungeon Crawl: Level 1 (30:49)

Not particularly entertaining.

Score: 5 out of 10

https://amzn.to/2pUeGUJ

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

https://amzn.to/2pQnU4B

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

https://amzn.to/2CmTT3M

Viridian Gate Online: Side Quest: A litRPG Anthology (47:22)

While I didn’t love every story, I had a good time reading most.

Hello everyone, welcome to episode 137 of the LitRPG podcast. For the full show notes visit us at: https://litrpgpodcast.com/litrpg-podcast-137

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.

It seems like Amazon implemented a change in their search engine and it feels like it’s harder to find LitRPG. Several of the titles on the upcoming list or shown last week don’t show on a search for ‘LitRPG’, so you might have to adjust your searches. I found more of the missing ones using ‘LitRPG Books’ as a search term.

New Releases and Reviews:

Kingdom of the Dead (An NPC's Path Book #2) LitRPG Series (12:15)

The story is not perfect but there’s lots of good action, interesting RPG power developments, and some good twists to the story.

Score: 7.1 out of 10

https://amzn.to/2NMOPca

Grum: Suburban Sunderer (Savage Legends Book 2) (17:17)

Grum is without a doubt my favorite RPG Barbarian. Score: 7.5 out of 10

https://amzn.to/2zZPH8o

Deadwater: A LitRPG Adventure (The Wayfarers Book 2) (20:35)

I was disappointed that with the setup for the 1980’s real world and the multiverse weren’t better used. Lost interest fairly quickly.

Score: 6 out of 10

https://amzn.to/2QzAQXJ

First Level (Replay Book 1) (24:09)

Not a bad , if simple, story but I really disliked one of the main characters.

https://amzn.to/2IAX9to

Seasoned Adventurer (29:22)

I genuinely liked the Gourmand aspect I was really disappointed it wasn’t used more and most of the story just felt inconsistently built. The harem aspect also felt out of place and poorly done.

Score: 4 out of 10

https://amzn.to/2OwWJd0

There are some interesting and well developed aspects of the story and some decent to good combat, as LitRPG it just didn’t work for me

Score: 6 out of 10

https://amzn.to/2C7s8vH

Infinite Lives: (Infinite Lives Online Book 1) (44:29)

If the humor lands for you, you may like this one more than I did.

Score: 6 out of 10

https://amzn.to/2xLr8KH

NuLife: A LitRPG Adventure (50:16)

Not LitRPG.

The Wandering Inn: Volume 1 (49:72)

Not only is this novel a huge value for the page count, it’s engaging enough to keep you reading late into the night for multiple days. It’s light LitRPG, but truly a great read.

Deadhead: A Zombie Apocalypse LitRPG Novella (13:13)

Good middle section set in the game, however the poor beginning and end stopped me from enjoying the story as a whole.

The Apprentice of Arabella (19:35)

I almost like the in-game story but the ultimately meaningless real life storyline just made the story less enjoyable.

World-Tree Online (29:39)

Not a boring story but as LitRPG it just didn’t do it for me.

Score: 6 out of 10
