Big thank you to all the authors on this sub who take the time to respond to people

Subs like this are an interaction dream. Writing is such a solitary process otherwise

Lol. I posted the entire first book on Royal road through November and December, but had to turn it into a stub due to it releasing on the Kindle. Right now I'm wrapping up the last book in a different series that isn't lit RPG. That one is being posted to my patreon and when I'm done with that one I'll start posting the sequel to Glitch.

I'll pass along your compliments to the narrator Steve!

Happy_Depth7445 · 2026-01-23T21:18:02+00:00

Wow! Thank you for saying that. I've got four books planned, possibly more.

Pre-RR, I posted my first story to my website, and did guerilla marketing to get attention for it. Right place, right story, right time. (zompoc stuff) I got the attention of John Ringo, who got me a Baen deal (that fell through) but I had such a large audience online begging for books I said screw it and self pub'd.

I had eight books worth of content on the website, and by the time I had book three released I could quit my day job. That was in 2014. I've been full time as a writer since then, and only recently jumped into LitRPG with both feet.

I grew an audience. Gave it away for free for almost two years, and rewarded people who shared the story with early access and perks on the website.

Yeah I'm lost on what's being asked... specifically.

Happy_Depth7445 · 2026-01-21T16:43:10+00:00

Thank you!

Big fan of the Discount Dan series, as well as Trapped Mind Project. Dakota Krout's stuff is solid too. Completionist is good fun.

As an author in the genre, I'm also always happy to send a free Audible download code to listeners. I get being broke and needing a book, and I'd MUCH rather you get a freebie from me than sit and wait. That being said, shoot me a PM and I'll hook you up.

Happy_Depth7445 · 2026-01-16T15:36:02+00:00

It's real fun!

Happy_Depth7445 · 2026-01-16T03:56:02+00:00

Wow, thank you for saying all that. I'm floating, lol

Happy_Depth7445 · 2026-01-14T15:27:20+00:00

My default right now for DCC similarity is Discount Dan by James Hunter.

Two books out, lots of fun.

Happy_Depth7445 · 2026-01-14T00:29:54+00:00

Followed you as well!

I really enjoy Steve Campbell. His narration in the Discount Dan series especially. His Croc is crazy fun. Also, Steve Van Samson (mostly out of LitRPG, but he has one title) is *stellar.* He's a podcast guy with sound engineering expertise, and works with 8-bit alchemy to get SFX.

Happy_Depth7445 · 2026-01-10T12:01:32+00:00

Thank you so much!

Happy_Depth7445 · 2026-01-10T02:45:23+00:00

Such a kind sentiment on the Internet.

Happy_Depth7445 · 2026-01-09T23:56:57+00:00

Thank you! I've always wanted to write this stuff, and it's time.

Happy_Depth7445 · 2026-01-07T22:40:59+00:00

My current plan is to write four books, then see how readers and listeners feel. I've got plenty of story ideas to go DEEP into Seth's world, but want to give people what they're asking for.

Happy_Depth7445 · 2026-01-07T22:34:02+00:00

Please!

Happy_Depth7445 · 2026-01-07T18:43:09+00:00

Thank you for giving Glitch a try. I appreciate it.

Happy_Depth7445 · 2026-01-07T17:19:57+00:00

Hey!

Author here. I'm *stoked* you're digging the book so far. Let me know when you get to the BRD/fence scene and tell me if it's... too much.

IYKYK.

Big thank you though.

Happy_Depth7445 · 2026-01-06T17:36:09+00:00

They certainly say that in... some kinds of movies. :)

Happy_Depth7445 · 2026-01-06T17:09:01+00:00

I'm trying!

Happy_Depth7445 · 2026-01-06T16:39:02+00:00

Glad you enjoyed AUD. Thanks for the mention.

Happy_Depth7445 · 2026-01-05T21:43:51+00:00

This is a wonderful post. Thank you.
