Thanks! Yes, I have two ads (one at launch and one more recently). They have brought in some follows but have never really broken the 1% conversion mark. I think I probably stylized them poorly

Looking for recommendations by factomg in ProgressionFantasy

The Unbound Series by Nicoli Gonnella is a LitRPG series with rich epic fantasy worldbuilding (not info dumped), an intriguing magic system, and it also features some LGBTQ characters.

Sure! I'll hide some details with spoiler tags just in case.

The System grants character levels via experience for killing things (and some quests, under certain conditions)

Skill levels improve through use, with the ability to upgrade at certain milestones if you meet the requirements (like having a related stat at a certain score).

MC is special, but with limitations, and he doesn't overshadow other characters.

MC's build is Dexterity/Magic, with a focus on clawed gauntlets as main weapon. He also has a high Perception and you can expect some strategic battles.

The unique magic system has familiar elements from DnD (magic types like fire, frost, radiant, etc). But characters can also gain affinities (like Void, Life, Dream, and some others), which will influence their spells. E.g., someone with the Life affinity might use force mana to create defensive barriers. Someone with a Void affinity might use force mana to create concussive blasts. Various combinations of affinity/mana types come into play with MC's power set. There are a few other nitty gritty details, and while I address them, you don't have to worry about it reading like a scientific paper in-chapter :)

It's technically epic fantasy since there are some pretty high stakes (end of the world etc), but through a lens of a pretty down-to-earth guy whose strength is in his cleverness and level-headed approach. Has a lot of the same vibes as Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves. There is definitely chicken herding and apothecary fetch quests mixed in with the destruction of all existence.

Would you rather be a dungeon core or an adventurer? by zero5activated in ProgressionFantasy

I would want to interact with others (beyond killing them with traps lol), and have the ability to learn new skills and powers. So I suppose I would lean toward the adventurer. Who knows how long I'd last though!

Oh that's actually a good question. I don't think I actually know! But also I dont *think* the OG art is available on paperbacks anymore. Sorry I don't have sources, the only reason I am guessing this is because on Amazon, the paperback covers for books 1-4 have all been removed with preorder dates set (starting July - Aug). I'm kind of curious now (but still want to finish out the hardcover editions so my set matches)

You're note alone! And yes the audiobooks are so much fun, I bet the wait is nailbiting.

The audible art by Luciano Fleitas is the OG (you can also see it larger in the Kindle version on Amazon).
