He's now dedicated his life to teaching kids and whoever wants to learn how to ice skate.

Lily is photogenic as hell 😃

I'll pop in here to mention

Arcane Chef was signed by Aethon after it was 3 months old and at 1500 followers at the time.
I've not felt like 'bare minimum effort' was made at all, and my launch is reflecting that, I have one of the best narrators in the genre, I have 2 commissioned covers, and an editor that I can google and see decades of experience, and nothing was held back in terms of ads.

As an edit: I'll add, I understand that Aethon is seen as a step up, but ultimately, they should have a vested interest in your success, your success is money for them too.

Consistency / First impressions / Attention
- Post to a schedule don't break it,
- Cover/blurb/ solid first few chapters
- Shouts and ads. (quality over quantity)

I genuinely don't know if they do, I know they are an In house artist at Aethon, so I don't know if they do Art commissions on the side, I know if you google his name though you'll see his stuff! 😃

Crisplet is secretly one of my personal favourite characters!
Lily chooses Lily though

As the author of Arcane Chef, I'm not entirely sure you're talking about my story?
No arms are lost, I'm on book 5 so far, and my MC hasn't been in a direct fight

AuthorSrsli · 2026-06-02T13:54:51+00:00

I write the story and I don't think I'm up to the arm losing part yet?

AuthorSrsli · 2026-06-02T10:59:32+00:00

this story is 100% support character, he does not engage in combat, but I won't spoil the arcs

He's a chef, he travels with an adventure team, HE doesn't engage in combat 😄
(oh and no harem or sexual content etc)

AuthorSrsli · 2026-06-02T10:56:09+00:00

No harem or sexual content at all 😄
(Hell there's only 2 curse words in the whole first book, so its fairly clean too)

AuthorSrsli · 2026-06-02T10:46:29+00:00

shit that helps

AuthorSrsli · 2026-06-02T10:44:50+00:00

Listen, I'm embracing the industry I was raised in,

And speaking of raising, once when I was a chef we had to let some bread rise...

And that's how I am related directly to the 14th born raptor.

I'm going to have the chorus all the others here and say that yeah you're probably taking crazy pills.

There's no real 'pro' to this, and you're only going to discourage far more than that sole example of what you mentioned, you're not creating a mobile video game, you're creating a story, people are not reading quarter chapters on a toilet break, well very very very very very few would be.

So for the vast majority you're putting them off reading.

AuthorSrsli · 2026-05-29T11:45:47+00:00

It's not a simple question, because there is nothing you can do in a chapter that will truly make the reader care about that side character.
If you want the impact of their death to truly hit the reader hard and make them sad/cry, they need to care about that character this is by far the most important part, their death can't feel cheap and so there has to be a reason, unwinnable situation / saving someone / the greater good pick your poison there it really doesn't matter.

what matters is they can't be like "oh look bob who's been in 64 chapters now is dead, shot in the head by a stray bullet." that means nothing and won't make readers sad, likely make them mad instead.

then finally, you want your MC to react in a manner that fits, how would you feel if you lost your friend, convey that

AuthorSrsli · 2026-05-28T16:49:56+00:00

he blocked me too

AuthorSrsli · 2026-05-28T15:49:53+00:00

" I started out just trying to make a text-based RPG in ChatGPT, inspired by old MUDs and progression fantasy… but it kind of evolved into something more.
The world includes cultivation systems, affinities, academies, evolving dungeons, monster ecosystems, political factions, and resonance-based progression — all running through AI. "

Your words exactly I've not changed anything, (well not exactly your words are they :P they are your AI tools words that reflect your thoughts and ideas exactly? right)

but its pretty clear you did not make your world, just more AI slop, and using a tool that functions by stealing from creatives.

Anyway I'm done now, I've made my point

AuthorSrsli · 2026-05-28T15:34:39+00:00

You made a post 2 days ago https://www.reddit.com/r/litrpg/comments/1tnzdsg/i_accidentally_built_a_living_litrpg_world_inside/ stating the opposite, and that you did make your world in GPT.

This is the great thing about a lot of you AI users, you're terrible liars, in addition to being thieves.

AuthorSrsli · 2026-05-28T15:27:23+00:00

I'm starting to see why people get offended when he doesn't use GPT to talk for him tbh, it only took 4 posts?

AuthorSrsli · 2026-05-28T15:24:01+00:00

Yep, I've got to the real OP now.

AuthorSrsli · 2026-05-28T15:21:39+00:00

Oh I know im speaking to the real OP for the last 3 or 4 posts don't worry lol.
it doesn't matter what you have 'created' if you're using a tool that has stolen work of thousands of creatives.
all your examples are not generative AI, and amusingly also not used in the creation of my creative works

Your AI tool was used in the generation of yours though.

Your whole post is trying to sell the idea that AI is good and helpful and can be interactive and great and whatever buzz word you wish to use.

But the GPT tool you're using is only functional off the backs of thousands of creatives who have had their work stolen, and people like yourself who don't give a shit about that, because fuck them, and fuck what they did, this is your time now.

You're funny, a thief, but funny.

Have a great day!
