LitRPG News

Dakota Krout did an author interview with Steven Rowland, author of Sentenced to Troll and Pangea Online. It’s fun.

I was on a LitRPG hangout with Charles Dean, Jeff Hays, and Xander Boyce. We talked about Xander’s hit novel Advent: Red Mage and got pretty silly as we hung out. Its over on the Soundbooth Theater YouTube page.

Update from MSE on Amazon thing.

Update time.

Lawyers have communicated with Amazon. They've asked me to show them all my advertising stuff and places where I've promoted my books. My lawyers have asked them to give us details about the specific reasons they banned me (AKA evidence I was doing anything wrong), since they didn't bring any to the meeting.

Our next meeting is Feb 14th. Fingers crossed it goes well. Thanks for hanging in there.

Dave Wilmarth’s video ad for the Greystone Chronicles aired this weekend during the Pizza competition on ESPN. Apparently the ad was successful, because that same day the lastest novel hit #1 Bestseller in several categories on Amazon.

https://youtu.be/Y-ZjTVKRMKQ

On his twitter account, Cosimo Yap posted that he should be finalizing a new novel in a couple of weeks. I personally hope this is the next book in the Gam3 series, but it could be something completely new. Either way fans, just get ready for something awesome hopefully.

LitRPG Podcast 147 - Author interview: Charles Dean

Dec. 16th, 2018

Hello everyone, welcome to episode 147 of the LitRPG podcast. I’m Ramon Mejia. I’m here to bring you the latest LitRPG news, reviews, and author interviews.

Today I have the pleasure of talking to Charles Dean, author of such amazing LitRPG series as:

The Bathrobe Knight (https://amzn.to/2CeZt7D ),

Merchant of Tiqpa (https://amzn.to/2Bkpn8j ),

and War Aeternus (https://amzn.to/2QAwnIS ).

Now Charles and I have been friends for a while. He and I first started talking when I made a error with the name of one of his series in the review I gave it on the LitRPG Podcast recommendation page. I called it the Bathroom Knight, and he e-mailed me and pointed out that while a story about a a plumber who fought evil would be great, the series was called the Bathrobe Knight. We’ve been friends ever since.

Charles is hands down not only one of the saltiest guys I know, he’s also one of the kindest human beings I’ve ever had the privilege of knowing. He’s gone out of his way to help me personally become a better writer by beta reading with brutal honesty and even extended writing resources to me.

As a writer, he’s one of the best in the community, and people love his LitRPG stuff, everything he’s published has an average review score of no less than 4 stars and often it’s closer to 5:

Jessie: “As I sit here writing this review in my own bathrobe, I must smile. This is a good read. “

Mike Garrett: “My biggest disappointment was the lack of available sequel.”

D. Miller: “All hail the Augustus, God of Alcohol and Bacon!”

David: Absolutely loved the Merchant of Tiqpa”

So, thank you so much for being on the podcast man!!

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.

Overall, the story has good action and dungeon creation.

Score: 7.2 out of 10

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

Score: 5 out of 10

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.

Hello everyone, welcome to episode 138 of the LitRPG podcast. For the full show notes visit us at: https://litrpgpodcast.com/litrpg-podcast-138

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

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.

Score: 7 out of 10

Geek Bytes Podcast

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.

Score: 4 out of 10
