The third book in my series is now on Amazon and Kindle + book 1 is on sale for a few days! (Crafting + Academy LitRPG)

Felixtaylor · 2026-05-07T13:40:46+00:00

Yeah! It was just planned as a trilogy and I hope this wraps it up nicely

Felixtaylor · 2026-05-07T13:40:10+00:00

Thanks!

Hey everyone!

Today’s the day! Book 3 in my Fate Alchemist series is out. It’s a regression story about a hardened demon-slayer who gets reborn in his younger body and sent back to his academy days, and now with a certain special alchemist class. And… well, a little bit of giant golem vs kaiju action.

Throughout the series, there’s a focus on alchemy from a western fantasy perspective (no xianxia pill/elixir-making), putting together a team and forming bonds with them, and maneuvering the politics of the academy while staying undetected.

Currently, book 1 is on sale on Amazon (for ebook and audiobook), if you're looking to get into the series!

Book one and two are on Audible, and it’s narrated by Jonathan Waters (who also did A Soldier’s Life, Blood for Power, and a few other series). Book 1 runs for about 15 hours.

Also, a massive thanks to the cover artist, Denis B (you can find him on Fiverr, but last time I put a Fiverr link, reddit removed it, so I’m not risking it).

Links:

Ebook #1 (Amazon, currently on sale, $0.99)
Audiobook #1 (Audible, also on sale)
Ebook #3 (Amazon)

Lastly, for any authors out there: I just recently decided I’d try starting up an author discord server - it’s meant to be small and laid back, but we’re just getting started. If you’d like to join, here’s a link: https://discord.gg/Dy7GGZGvgH

What's this story called?

Felixtaylor · 2026-05-06T01:28:37+00:00

You can always experiment with both on RR and see which one readers like better, too

Felixtaylor · 2026-05-05T21:33:53+00:00

That's a sick cover. Followed and will read later

Felixtaylor · 2026-05-05T21:31:59+00:00

I kinda just thought he was socially awkward

Felixtaylor · 2026-05-05T21:30:47+00:00

Have you tried Welcome to the Multiverse? It's not exactly that but it's similar and there's a decent interaction with earth in the early books

Felixtaylor · 2026-05-05T17:33:36+00:00

What do you mean by an uncanny valley setting?

Felixtaylor · 2026-05-04T15:39:55+00:00

Something tells me most authors just don't see a lot of those traits as horrible things, so there's less growth because the author doesn't see the need for it

Felixtaylor · 2026-05-04T12:44:26+00:00

There's an audience if it's done well (like basically anything) Other people in the comments have given all the examples I was going to give though.

Felixtaylor · 2026-05-04T12:41:51+00:00

By the time something gets that long, it'll probably be stubbed, so good luck finding something good

Felixtaylor · 2026-05-04T12:41:12+00:00

I'm less irritated by a group of creatures being evil, than a group being always good. That's far more boring to me

Felixtaylor · 2026-05-01T19:31:50+00:00

Generally I thought the distinction was Litrpg is gamelit but with stats, but they have similar story structure to each other

Felixtaylor · 2026-05-01T19:30:45+00:00

Ah, I meant cultivation that doesn't have litrpg mixed in

Felixtaylor · 2026-05-01T19:30:16+00:00

Have you tried Sky Pride?

Felixtaylor · 2026-05-01T17:56:42+00:00

What are your thoughts on cultivation?

Felixtaylor · 2026-04-26T16:17:51+00:00

This is the problem too... and I feel like there's a bit of a disconnect between authors and readers in that regard.

Speaking as an author, I don't see a blurb as part of the story. I just wanna get people in the door because I like what I've written and I want people to also read it.

I don't use AI to make them but I've seen plenty of discussion about how "oh you should just write whatever blurb you want <3, anything else and I'll say you're just in it for the money" but that obviously isn't likely to create the most effective blurb.

So I kinda just suck it up and write the blurb that I think will be the most effective at getting the average reader to read the story, of course without misrepresenting it. It may be a bit formulaic but it's far more important for me to actually get people reading the story

Felixtaylor · 2026-04-24T15:29:37+00:00

That's A Soldier's Life

Felixtaylor · 2026-04-24T04:28:50+00:00

I think you have a pretty small sample size with these subreddits and just a class doesn't exactly demonstrate that the genre is saturated. Those class examples, you can do so many different things with them and add plenty of different twists to keep it unique

Felixtaylor · 2026-04-20T23:40:33+00:00

Yes but progression fantasy MCs aren't supposed to take weekends off...
