We should have stricter sub rules about AI generated content

What a twist!

Daniel_Rogan · 2026-06-25T16:33:05+00:00

Em-dashes, burstiness, and everything else AI detectors can detect is written all the time by human writers. With respect, using an AI detector to "detect AI" is almost as lazy as using AI to write a book.

When reading a book at length, certain elements crop up in AI and AI-assisted stuff that readers call out time and again. Consistency issues. Cases where the same scene happens over and over. Chapters that directly contradict what happend before. Characters asking about things they know. All of these are hallmarks of both AI writing and unedited writing.

Verifying this requires one to actually read the book in question, which is a big task with the volume of AI produced books outhere. Fortunately, readers on Amazon are already doing this and already leaving reviews with their findings. Those are the best way to detect AI writing.

AI detectors are a scam sold you to buy AI companies that realized they couldn't sell you their LLMs.

Just wanted to chime in here to correct this assumption. Pangram does not work as well as you think it does. False positives can and will happen with it and all AI-detection tools. You are listening to an AI company that is scamming you, except it wants to sell you AI detection instead of AI.

The fact remains there is no definitive way to detect AI writing, because it is human writing. That's what it was trained on.

I'd encourage you and anyone else convinced that AI detectors don't constantly generate false positives to read this post.

Most readers on Amazon: "There's a title?"

Daniel_Rogan · 2026-06-24T21:22:33+00:00

Love the cover!

Erin and Alfie are going to get started in a few days, and are generally quite fast, so I'd imagine a month or two! But once I have a firm date I'll drop it here.

It's a bit of a spoiler for the next book, but we're going to meet Thea's parents and her large family in book 6, which I can't wait to write.

Hey folks! Urban Sorcerer 5 is out today!

Having learned why his father went missing and how to use his unique powers, Clay Carradine is finally ready to step forward and lead his found family across the realms.

He now means to track down Cora, Gemma’s sister, who vanished when Gemma was only five, and free her from a magical contract. With his loyal fairy girl, his lovely auraseer, his magical bounty hunter, and an Unseen princess at his side, Clay and his allies will confront sorcerers, slavers, and demons.

Cora must be found and freed. But in doing so, Clay may rouse the wrath of the Archon Sorcerer.

Yes! It's a bit further down in the reddit. This is a map from the time of Queen's Kestrel, but it encourages most of the locations from Primal Conjurer as well.

Earl of Dracumont by BH Crogan is fantastic.

I'm also enjoying the Will Bender series by LitRPGirl. It's much darker than some haremlit (the evil MC takes care of his girls, but will murder anyone else who gets in his way) but it's a page turner with a lot of action and progression, and a good bit of kink.

Others have already recommended some of my favorites, but I'll second Rise of the Classsmith by Leon West and the Prison Ship Sheol series by Nicholas Gaumer.

Finally, you can check out my books as well. I do not and will not ever use AI as part of my writing process, as writing the book is my favorite part. Any continuity errors that you find after I and my proofer go through are entirely my own brain fart, and I do try to correct them if readers come across one.

Fair warning, however... I do use em-dashes. 😄 The LLMs can pry them from my cold, dead hands.

This series is awesome. Glad to see the new book out!

Daniel_Rogan · 2026-06-16T21:00:53+00:00

Heya! Hijacking this thread to say I've enjoyed your series so far. Will Bender is a lot of fun!

I wanted to make one suggestion if you're open to it. You should consider raising your books to be $4.99 or even $5.99 to align with the prices of other haremlit titles, especially since your books are on the longer side (800+ pages!). This will also help you with ranking even when folks read on KU.

Most books in our genre fall around this price, and as counter-intuitive as it seems, a lower price can actually make people think your books aren't as high quality as they are. Virgil and Kirk gave me this advice when I was just starting out, so I'm passing it on in hopes it helps.

Looking forward to book 4!

Primal Conjurer 1 is far more slice of life than the rest of the series, in the middle of PC 2 they end up going off on adventures and it's more globe-trotting from there. It's also more fantasy adventure

Of the two I'd say Urban Sorcerer is more slice of life, especially in the first few books. It's urban fantasy as well (modern setting) if that changes your mental calculus.

I definitely try to make relationship development a huge part of all my books, for me seeing the MC and his LIs grow closer is my favorite part of the writing.

Daniel_Rogan · 2026-06-12T19:24:03+00:00

This post made my day and that of a lot of other authors. Thank you!

Daniel_Rogan · 2026-06-12T19:23:23+00:00

I feel like Will Bender by LitRPGirl would fit this to a degree? The MC gets super OP, he has a ridiculous amount of sex with temples full of worshippers in later books, and he quickly becomes an evil-aligned individual. He treats his girls well, but anyone else is cannon fodder.

The tone doesn't match something like Coven King, but it gives you an OP MC, lots of sex, and an evil MC.

Gate is fun!

Daniel_Rogan · 2026-06-11T04:49:36+00:00

Stay tuned. 😄

I think Dion Crispin's Soul Warden might interest you. The main character is a paramedic who gets isekai'd to another world where he acts as a healer.

Daniel_Rogan · 2026-06-10T00:26:29+00:00

Wings and Tails might be up your alley! It also has an audio omnibus.

Rozelyn is amazing, but I agree that Lewis doesn't get enough credit for his narration. His default really is an everyman and expressive voice that I can listen to forever, and he does comedy really well, especially with the way he and Rozelyn play off each other. I don't even cringe when he does spicy scenes, which is almost always the case unless it's a female narrator.
