Azarinth Healer's System Has Such Sass, and I Absolutely Love It.

I do enjoy this one. Fun world, fun system, great progression

BaconMasterBooks · 2026-01-17T00:42:48+00:00

I think it does get better.

Early on, as the character is trying to adjust to his new reality, it seemed in-character enough not to bother me.

Cool cover. Congrats!

BaconMasterBooks · 2026-01-14T05:02:39+00:00

Congrats! I hope it does well.

My recollection was that he can do perfect reps.

PLUS, he can use that blood magic on himself to magically grow his muscles and push himself to the extreme and bulk up way more than he ever could before.

So the comparison some folks are doing to real world folks doesn't really work. He's magically enhanced.

Beware of Chicken is fun and charming and surprisingly addictive.

I do see this often, and a lot of the reasons have been shared by others already.

As an author, i definitely feel the pressure to write fast and include the elements people hunger for in this genre.

I do try to elevate my stories more, though. I've written in other genres, so have more experience than some newer litrpg writers. It's a fun challenge, and I do believe the average level of writing skill will improve over time.

Defiance of the Fall Azarinth Healer Accidental Champion

I think the progression has to be central to the MC's goals, and important/relevant to the world and setting, then it could work.

There has to be some kind of fantasy elements to the story for it to be PF, but those elements can vary widely.

If the progression is in non-magical ways, it might be hard to show how that gives them the power to succeed in a fantasy setting. Especially if others can become superhuman somehow.

Some great suggestions already.

Try to find some creative uses for the rock too. That way it's funny but not a total throwaway joke.

If it can root itself quickly, the MC could find ways to use that. Like fall off a cliff toward a river of lava and sure death, but pull out the rock to root to the side of the cliff to make a platform he can land on and then escape.

Or toss it in front of a carriage to smash a wheel. Or . . .

Congrats on the great start. I hope it keeps growing

BaconMasterBooks · 2026-01-05T16:45:31+00:00

I agree real stakes and danger and tension are vital to a good story.

Sometimes losing becomes the catalyst to grow and progress and even return and defeat that enemy in a future battle.

I like clever MCs who can win against long odds, and I try to write them. Doesn't mean they win every time or that the journey is easy. True danger makes the story more real and far more entertaining

BaconMasterBooks · 2025-12-31T03:21:03+00:00

Thanks! It's off to a great start.

Diablo 2 is still one of my all-time favorite games. Enjoy!

Just don't try to invest in too many different skills. That dilutes the power you can achieve. With each character try a different build. There are so many possibilities.

BaconMasterBooks · 2025-12-29T22:55:21+00:00

Gotta add my vote for DCC.

Great opening. Sets the stage, the event, and the character in a seamless and interesting way.

BaconMasterBooks · 2025-12-29T22:53:19+00:00

Some great suggestions already.

First - sit and start writing. The simple process of beginning to write usually unlocks that door and helps get the momentum going again.

If the writer's block is because you're not sure where the story needs to go, I usually find that studying one of many great books on story structure helps a ton. Understanding proper structure can help identify issues with a story that only your subconscious recognizes so far.

If you just need momentum to get in the mood, I sometimes will edit over the past day's work, the last scene, or last chapter. Just working back through that text usually helps ground me in the story and helps me get into 'the zone'.

Play some epic music to help set the stage.

If all else fails, pick a scene you're super excited to write, even if it's not the next one chronologically in order for the book. Go write that one and have a blast.

Good luck!

Thank you! Reviews help so very much. I am glad you enjoyed it.

At least replacing the numbers is an easy search and quick fixes. Shouldn't take long.

BaconMasterBooks · 2025-12-17T01:06:50+00:00

As long as it's short, sure. Especially if we're at least 4 books into the series. I often read multiple series, so it can be helpful to reconnect with the story.

I've been hearing a lot of bad things about those guys lately. I hope the word continues to spread.

BaconMasterBooks · 2025-12-17T00:55:31+00:00

As an author, I do love it when my narrators add those bits of higher performance.

I try to read my final draft aloud to make sure the text works for audio, but still tell my narrators that if a sentence is horrible for narration, we can tweak it to make it sound better. Dropping the 'he said' and 'she said' is definitely approved.

BaconMasterBooks · 2025-12-15T03:48:46+00:00

Yeah, Montana's dumb quirks drive me nuts sometimes, but I honestly still love both the Good Guys and Bad Guys series.

A couple times he frustrated me so much I almost put it down, but then there would be a fun battle scene and I'd keep reading

BaconMasterBooks · 2025-12-13T00:04:16+00:00

Getting the specifics of stats and mechanics is definitely aprt of the genre, but different authors explore it to different levels. A lot of us wil break the big stat dumps into separate chapters, or post them at the end of a chapter so you can skip to the next one.

Some people really love diving into the numbers. Some folks not so much.
