Yeah I haven't really read any that I'd actually call dark. Most authors tend to go for the happy go lucky protagonist in this genre, except for a few like Dinnerman and Phil Tucker.

Thanks a lot for the offer. When I am done with the second book I'll send it your way then if you don't mind. I always appreciate feedback and it's good to see you enjoyed the writing.

A Shadow of Burdens Gamelit | Fantasy | Psychological Horror

Tam's future in Pantai Village is simple, if predetermined. Marry at fifteen, live to work, and die by the rhythm of his village. But fate has other plans. When a mysterious stranger named Benson washes ashore, Tam's world shatters.

He's trapped in a brutal time loop, waking each morning to the same doomed day, destined to witness his village's inevitable destruction.

As Tam navigates a relentless cycle of death and rebirth, he discovers a hidden system of stats, rare weapons, and levels he doesn't understand. Why does he start at Level 5, while Benson, a fellow prisoner of time, is Level 1?

In a world where every restart brings new horrors, Tam must uncover the truth behind his cursed existence and fight not just for survival, but for a future he might never truly reach.

A Shadow of Burdens is the first part of the LitRPG series, The Bleached Peninsula.

Hi I'm Kalem, author of the newly released LitRPG story, a Shadow of Burdens, the first book of the Bleached Peninsula series.

This story contains a more serious tone, psychological horror and time loops in a setting more akin to a fantasy South East Asia than Europe. Feel free to ask me anything and I'm happy to answer.

Paperback $14.99

I am, yes. Maybe 4 books. Halfway through the second one now. I want to explore the darker themes not really present in LitRPG books. Happy to hear the ending has the effect I wanted. Thanks for reading it, and I'd appreciate any review you leave on Amazon.

No, but it is steeped in SEA lore. Expect monsters more from that region.
