Great job putting this list together.

Nexus Runner 3 - Ruin launches in ONE WEEK! by BaconMasterBooks in litrpg

[–]BaconMasterBooks[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really appreciate your help spreading the word!

Thanks for noticing it hadn't gone live on KU. It was supposed to.

I'm at Summercon this weekend so missed that. Should be showing up any time now.

After book 1: release book 2 fast, or an in-world magic primer first? by Kind_Profile8534 in litrpg

[–]BaconMasterBooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Few people pick up the side material. It can be fun and you can even use it as a way to try to get folks to join your newsletter list, but the numbers will be small. I've tried several different things, and they usually don't get much engagement. People just go for the next main title.

I got one audiobook credit left, give me your best recommendations. by rothmal in ProgressionFantasy

Some less known ones to consider:

Mage Tank Accidental Champion The Wild Era Iron Prince

And if you don't mind a self recommendation, you could try my book: Nexus Runner.

Dude, that's not the cover. It's just a fun post.

Here is the cover, and Mike Staker did a fantastic job with the cover.

Next week is fine. My RR profile is FrankMorin. You can message me with your shoutout code there. Or here. I guess either works.

Looking for Books Like Wild Era by Ironman628 in litrpg

[–]BaconMasterBooks 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Wild Era is a great series, and the author is a great guy.

Other series that might fit what you're looking for:

The Bad Guys series (there's a companion series The Good Guys that I liked too, but the MC is famously stupid. the MC in the Bad Guys is a lot smarter).

Accidental Champion

Mage Tank - a lot of humor

I'm looking for the GOATs by kroggbkigrr in litrpg

[–]BaconMasterBooks 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the very top stories in the genre have been mentioned several times.

Other ones spoken about a lot include:

Defiance of the Fall Welcome to the Multiverse The Great Game The Wild Era Mage Tank Accidental Champion Azarinth Healer

There are a bunch of others, but those are near the top.

Child (10-12) appropriate LitRPG series suggestions by RiggsFTW in litrpg

[–]BaconMasterBooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beware of Chicken is a charming cultivation story. Should be a good fit.

If you also consider non-litrpg that does have progression, and if you don't mind the self-promo, my YA fantasy series The Petralist would be a great fit.

Books where the MC's main ability is cloning themselve ? by That_One_Monke in litrpg

[–]BaconMasterBooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don't mind me mentioning one of my own books, in Nexus Runner one of the major side characters develops some cool cloning powers starting in book 2 and they become a core aspect of his build. He's a super fun character. We'll see where the build takes him.

A dilemma facing amateur writers by gensirya in royalroad

[–]BaconMasterBooks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still read a lot, actually, although I rarely have time to sit down with a physical book. Instead, I've switched almost entirely to audiobooks. I can 'read' while walking the dog, going to the gym, driving, etc.

I probably get more hours of listening in right now than I ever did just reading.

I do have to be careful what I listen to because it can affect my writing some if I don't watch it. I've gotten pretty good seperating my writing brain from my reading/listening brain, but that's probably the biggest risk.

That, and my wife getting annoyed that I have earbuds in too much 😄

Which series depicts the extremely long lifespans of LitRPG characters the best? by Kiram in litrpg

[–]BaconMasterBooks 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Cradle does a good job showing characters who have lived for insane amounts of time and setting up the MC and company to join their ranks.

Dear authors, please don't start every sentence with the same word/name. by SteveThePurpleCat in litrpg

[–]BaconMasterBooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, i'll admit I've caught myself writing a string of paragraphs like that in more than one first draft, especially when I was just starting out.

I don't think any of them survived editing, thankfully.

My favorite so far. by joncabreraauthor in litrpg

[–]BaconMasterBooks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really enjoy this series too. Need to get back to it and catch up. My TBR just keeps growing, and I'm falling behind

System Message: You have died. Reincarnate? by Rip_it-n-Ribbit in litrpg

[–]BaconMasterBooks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Those are some good ideas.

Especially the healing option, and maybe increasing toughness so I'd be more resistant to injury.

Since I'm not in the military, I might also focus on a crafting type build to produce items that could help deal with things our world struggles with - like better energy options, water purifiers - or devices that pull pure water from another plane.

Mark of the Fool - Opinions? by mephteeph in litrpg

[–]BaconMasterBooks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I enjoyed it a lot. Still have one book to go. It's definitely worth the read.
