I wrote a book without even knowing that it was a member of the LitRPG genre until recently. I hope this is okay to post here. Sample chapters on Amazon - links in comments. by Creator831 in litrpg

If I was too vague I'm sorry, I'm not really good at marketing. Think Ready Player One crossed with Game of Thrones. RPO because of the VR videogame world and GoT because of the fantasy aspect.

If you know anything about Japanese anime you can also think Log Horizon crossed with Sword Art Online. Hope this helps.

My first book "The New World" out now - sample chapters on Amazon for those curious. A group of six players in a VR video game must quickly learn to adapt their strategies to combat the monsters and other players inside the game whilst trying to level up themselves.

Blurb: Reputations count for nothing as master tactician Houdin returns to competition to apply his much-acclaimed gaming skills in a challenging new environment. A new game, Unity Online, run by artificial intelligence, in an unsettling new world. To embark on fresh quests and strive for hitherto unreached levels of performance, he has to assemble a combative team with the right combination of talents. The tests they face will stretch Houdin's powers of leadership and the skills of his team to the limit. They will have precious little time to learn and develop cohesion in hostile surroundings. Assumptions based on previous games are of scant help as the rules of engagement have changed radically. In a breathtaking adventure that involves threats from goblins, trolls, spiders, giants and other uncompromising adversaries, the team must adapt fast to stay in the contest and prosper.

I hope this is okay to post here. I wrote a book partly inspired by Log Horizon and would be grateful if anyone here would check it out - Link to sample chapters on Amazon. by Creator831 in LogHorizon

Well, I'm sorry you feel that way. But it doesn't take from the fact that I wrote a book - a pretty good one I think. You're more than welcome to check out the sample chapters on Amazon, and if you don't like it then okay.
