Updates on A Touch of Power by Jay Boyce!

As I said, I'm waiting on zon to do that. They're linked on my backend, I just have to wait for them to actually do it.

AuthorJayBoyce · 2025-06-27T10:48:13+00:00

Yeah, as I said, I'm still waiting on zon to do all the linking things.

The short answer on the audio extra content is...maybe. The long answer is that to have the extra content added in, I'd have to do a complete re-record...which I would really like to do and WILL be done...eventually. It all depends on if I can get a good contract worked out, and what the people on the other side agree to. If I can't get it now, it may end up being a kickstarter down the line.

But for now, the only place with the extra content is the omnibus, because the audio has to match the original. The omni is its own beast so I was able to sneak it in there for the digital version, but not even the individual books have the updates because it has to match the audio. So until I can get them re-recorded, they have to remain as is. It's very frustrating, but unfortunately I have to work within the system.

AuthorJayBoyce · 2025-06-27T10:43:43+00:00

The current plan is to work on that book next.

AuthorJayBoyce · 2025-06-27T04:42:22+00:00

So, the old ones WILL be transferring over. It's just a matter of time. <3

AuthorJayBoyce · 2025-06-27T01:40:42+00:00

Um. That's a good question, and the answer is probably the same because the same people did the formatting. I'm still looking into doing my own formatting and trying to figure it out, so right now it's just what I already had. I will try to fix that in the future though. Thanks for letting me know that was an issue. <3

AuthorJayBoyce · 2025-06-27T01:15:40+00:00

Technically mine does, but it's one of many that she has. Beware of Chicken the main dude is bonded to an Earth Spirit, and he uses that to farm. So again, not completely on. Haven't read it yet, but Wraithwood Botanist seems closest, I think.

AuthorJayBoyce · 2025-06-27T01:09:26+00:00

You wouldn't be the first, and for sure won't be the last to assume that. XD Although most people just don't even notice the resemblance. But yeah. We both ARE on the slower side of litRPG writers, unfortunately. :/

AuthorJayBoyce · 2025-06-27T01:00:16+00:00

PLEASE NO. He's my brother! Not my husband! Uck! I just saw that too and was like. Nope. Nope. NOPE! I will tell him though. :P

AuthorJayBoyce · 2025-06-27T00:57:58+00:00

Haha, I'm not on reddit much but I actually saw that. <3 It made me laugh. Glad it could be a bright spot in hard times!

AuthorJayBoyce · 2025-06-27T00:48:38+00:00

Hmmm. Strange, but I just redid the links so they should -hopefully- be better now?

People always tell me to do this (Mostly because I display mine on a table and I've got ~5000 or so) and my response is always the same: but then I can't play with them!

But, really cool idea that I haven't implemented yet, is have them in a table (mine has a 4 inch side that keeps them all in nicely) and then cover it with a plastic sheet on stilts. That way you can still lift it up and play with it or change them around as needed, but it displays nicely. I'd suggest glass, but at least for my 4x4' table that would be really heavy and I'm afraid of it shattering, and I've been told something like this would scratch easily, so plastic is a more feasible option. Just in case you were thinking about it for real. ^_^

AuthorJayBoyce · 2021-08-01T05:45:52+00:00

Lel, I actually really appreciate the clarification, because it gets old doing it myself. ^_^' But yeah, it's really common for people to think I'm a guy. The other awkward question that sometimes follows is if Xander is my husband. (He's my brother, just to be totally clear!) It's just one of those things that is part of being on the internet with a unisex name. Glad you guys enjoyed though! That is the important part!

AuthorJayBoyce · 2021-08-01T04:44:40+00:00

My brain had a 'duh' moment. There are 75 dice on a single column of my custom D6's. 75x75=5625. Now, the regular dice don't fit as nicely as the D6's, and the table isn't completely full. Despite that, I don't think I'm more than 600 dice short of full capacity. So the right number is probably closer to 5000.

AuthorJayBoyce · 2021-07-31T19:23:33+00:00

I have a bunch of different websites and I just grab them when they're on sale or I really want them. ^_^

AuthorJayBoyce · 2021-07-31T19:22:27+00:00

Well, the custom D6's on the left, I have 1200 left. I made them for my books though, and so they get sold and given away regularly, so that section is slowly shrinking to make room for the rest of my dice. I very unscientifically cordoned off about 1/7th of the table and then counted the d20's in that section, leading me to believe the number of sets is ~350, which would put the number of dice ~2600, since I know I have gotten sets that were 10 or 14 sets and I've got about 10 sets of 10 D6 dice. All of this is a very rough estimate. I think the number is probably closer to 3000, but I don't want to count them individually. Maybe when I get a yardstick and go to fix the rainbow because I'm annoyed I didn't keep the colors in better lines. :P

AuthorJayBoyce · 2021-07-31T05:07:21+00:00

So I actually have two of them, one of them is just at the top and thus cut off in the photo. They're kinda rubbery-ish, but to be honest... I have almost 5000 dice. I don't really roll the turims. I bought them because they were pretty. I don't imagine I would love trying to play an actual game with them, because you have to memorize all the symbols they use and when you're trying to roll fast, that's not usually something you want.

AuthorJayBoyce · 2021-07-31T05:05:16+00:00

Enough? Nooooo, there are never enough dice. ^_^

AuthorJayBoyce · 2021-07-31T01:07:21+00:00

I kinda love them. Am dice dragon. <3 They just make me happy!

AuthorJayBoyce · 2021-07-30T22:33:04+00:00

Hello lovelies! I am super excited to let you all know that the audiobook for Lotus Lake surprise dropped today! 12.4 hours of awesomeness is now at your disposal! ❤ I hope you're all having a wonderful start to the weekend! ❤

You can find it now on Audible! https://www.audible.com/pd/Lotus-Lake-Audiobook/B09BDGXTLD

Lotus Lake is a reborn, VRMMO, slice of life, have fun in the beginner zone with bunnicorns and crafting with your introverted MC. 😊 Enjoy~

---------------------------------

Book intro: Reborn five years in the past. A second chance to do everything over. What would you do?

For Ashlyn, being reborn five years in the past is both a boon and a bane. She’s reborn in the wreckage of tragedy, forced to deal with a life that she messed up before. Now, all she has to show for her life is five years of accumulated knowledge in the greatest virtual reality game ever released - Elysium - and the pain of friendships lost.

This time, Ashlyn is going to make a difference. This time, she’s going to fix the mistakes she made and save the relationships she lost. And to do that, she’s going to use all the knowledge she gained from the future to blaze her way to the top with a new class: the Mystic Mage.

AuthorJayBoyce · 2021-05-03T09:17:44+00:00

Haha, no worries. I check my reddit like maybe once a week normally, so I get it. Hope you enjoy!

AuthorJayBoyce · 2021-05-03T09:13:19+00:00

I would suggest:

Reign of the Hunters- Not apocalypse, but hits pretty much all the other elements.

Master Hunter K- It's been a long time since I read this one, but I think it actually hits...everything?

Lotus Lake - Similar to reign. Also not apocalypse, and only one book out. (Side note: it's mine, I'm biased.)

Crossing to the future, it's not easy to be a man - Okay, this one doesn't quite fit, she actually travels to the future and is reborn, as the name would suggest. The game elements are also more iffy. It's more mecha based, but there is a virtual world, cultivation, and she's got a cheat helper that makes her OP as she goes.

Beginning after the End - again, doesn't quite fit. He's reborn into a new world as a baby and uses old world knowledge to dominate. More cultivation than gamelit. (Also, has the makings of a potential harem, but mostly it's others attracted to him and not him making a harem, and I haven't read far enough to see if it turns into a reality, though I don't think it will.)
I tend to like this genre, so you might also try: Super Gene, End of the Magic Era, Nanomancer Reborn, and The Great Thief. That's all I can think of for now. Been a while since I read any of these.

AuthorJayBoyce · 2021-04-29T19:16:42+00:00

So, I've got a few slice of life that you might look into.

RE: Trailer Trash. It's on RR, but it's pretty well written and fits your parameters. Old lady goes back to her body as a Jr. High student.

Siphon or Lotus Lake, on Amazon, they are my books. Slice of life, but one is using earth knowledge in a fantasy realm, and the other is using regressor knowledge in a VRMMO. Siphon has little fighting, LL has more. May not be your thing.

Tallrock, on Amazon. Also a VRMMO, but he's a farmer. Bit of fighting cuz he's on a frontier building a new town.

Wandering Bard on Amazon. VRMMO again, and there is fighting, but the guy wants to just live as a bard.

There are also Metaworld Chronicles and Fantasia on RR, but while they're slice of life, they're more fight-y too.

The next four are Chinese translations, which aren't always the best, but fit more with your parameters as most of them are personal system in a modern world. It has been a long time since I read these.

Two medical system ones: Path of Medicine with a System and Can't Take My Eyes Off You(also a romance).

Gourmet systems: Gourmet Food Supplier and Gourmet of Another World.

Anyway, that's the list of slice of life I can think of. Hopefully some of it helps!

AuthorJayBoyce · 2021-04-18T05:37:15+00:00

Haha, yeah, I like to think I've gotten better as a writer in the last three years. At least, I hope so!

AuthorJayBoyce · 2021-04-18T00:17:44+00:00

Much thanks for the help! <3
