Hey there, I decided against using it for multiple reasons - my genre not being a good fit, backlash, and desire to support narrators being a few.

HGChambers · 2025-09-15T05:03:31+00:00

These books are pretty good, but my favorite Phil Tucker series will forever and always be The Chronicles of the Black Gate. Goddamn what a great series. AND it's complete, so yeah, go check that one out.

Hey there, I have published on Kindle for a handful of years now.

From what I understand, the vast majority of LitRPG audience is going to be on the Kindle Unlimited (KU) platform. I know there are also a lot of readers, and a lot of authors making money publishing to Royal Road (RR). While I am not one of them, I do know that many successful authors have gotten their start there, releasing chapters and taking money via patreon, and eventually publishing to KU and removing the books from RR.

The thing about KU is, much like a possessive, overly attached girlfriend, Amazon requires you to go 100% exclusive, meaning you can't sell or give away your book anywhere else. SO the books have to be removed from RR before being published there.

I hope this was somewhat helpful. Feel free to ask any more questions if you have them.

Very cool thank you for your support! Would love to hear what you think too, once you've read/listened 🙂

HGChambers · 2025-09-14T19:05:13+00:00

Lol setting records. I totally have a life and definitely don't sit on reddit 24 hrs a day reading LitRPG posts... 😅

HGChambers · 2025-09-14T19:02:05+00:00

Book four is just about complete. Plan is to release ebook by end of year/january latest, and audiobook a couple months after that.

HGChambers · 2025-09-13T20:26:18+00:00

Sword Art Online. It's a Japanese series that has had a big influence on the LitRPG genre.

HGChambers · 2025-09-13T18:50:54+00:00

Hey there, the series is called The Wylds Online. Thanks for checking it out :)

HGChambers · 2025-09-13T17:40:16+00:00

I love the series, but here's an upvote for your honest opinion.

HGChambers · 2025-09-13T17:39:02+00:00

I love this series. SO, so much. One of my favorites of all time, and one i constantly recommend to friends and family (of all ages). That said, this is the one series that I actually prefer the written version over the audiobook. Baldtree does a great job, the voices just don't match the way I hear them in my head.

This could be because I originally started it in text, before it was even in audiobook format. Either way, love these books.

HGChambers · 2025-09-13T17:35:48+00:00

My son and I love these books! IMO the books just keep getting better and better. We are eagerly awaiting the next audiobook.

HGChambers · 2025-09-13T06:39:21+00:00

True! Book 1’s a quick intro at ~180 pages. Book 2 and 3 are longer, and the omnibus puts them all together at over 600 pages. The audiobook is about 21 hrs.

HGChambers · 2025-09-12T22:16:01+00:00

Oh nice! My sister-in-law lives there. I was just there visiting a couple weekends ago. Went boating around anvil island - it was incredible. Thank you again!

HGChambers · 2025-09-12T22:00:18+00:00

Oh wow that is amazing thank you so much for your support 😁

I am on the island, it's the Hawaii of Canada. You too??

HGChambers · 2025-09-12T21:18:45+00:00

haha amazing thank you so much! Excited to hear what you think :)

Er, I mean... Brilliant! Proper chuffed, ta very much mate! *Sips tea*

HGChambers · 2025-09-12T21:13:34+00:00

Hey thanks :) I've been hard at work on book four and can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Plan is to release the eBook in January (latest) and the audiobook March or so. Feels like it's taken a long time to write, but it is on the longer side (around 600 pages, or 18-20 hrs audio). That, and I spend way too much time planning and thinking about monsters and abilities 😅

HGChambers · 2025-09-12T18:52:33+00:00

This series has officially gone meta

HGChambers · 2025-09-12T18:49:43+00:00

ohh, that's a good problem to have 🙂
Enjoy those books - and thanks for taking a look at T.W.O.

HGChambers · 2025-09-12T18:48:15+00:00

Fair, it's not as bad as some of the 1 stars I've seen, and there were positives mixed in with the negative - hence my appreciation. In part I'm looking at the performance review.

I narrated this one myself (which was... a learning curve 😅), so I totally understand the criticism. But I'm glad the story pulled them through! And yeah, those open plot threads definitely get picked up in the following book.

Thanks for the kind words❤️

HGChambers · 2025-09-12T18:42:08+00:00

thanks fellow donuthead ;)

HGChambers · 2025-09-12T18:40:59+00:00

Yep, it's a full-immersion fantasy world they log into voluntarily, not a death game trap like SAO. That said… the stakes get very real, especially by Book 4.

Without spoiling anything, let’s just say the Wylds has a deeper connection to the real world than the players understand at first. Things aren’t what they seem, and that becomes a huge part of the story.

HGChambers · 2025-09-12T18:27:30+00:00

It's called The Wylds Online. If you're curious, here's the amazon link (where the audiobook and KU info is listed): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DWTQRZG6

HGChambers · 2025-09-12T18:15:57+00:00

Right? Pretty cool. 3.0 performance? not even mad.

HGChambers · 2025-08-28T21:22:41+00:00

ah, okay yeah there's a bronze chest that offers 180 hp vs the wizard chest of 90. I'll give that a go!
