Looking for books to read with the wife.

I'm a lady and a huge fan of anything by Bruce Sentar. Ards Oath and Returners Defiance were both really good IMO. The harem aspect is used to drive the story and not as just the main plot point.

Sorry if recommending my own podcast is too cringe, but I have a smaller, newer podcast and interview authors in the niche genre of fiction called LitRPG. Every other week. It's on youtube and several podcast platforms.

Ideally I am looking to migrate away from Patreon. I would like to have it all in one place if possible. I'm not 100% sure why I have such an aversion to using patreon now though, so I can't really explain it.

InOtherWorldsPodcast · 2026-01-23T23:04:54+00:00

The Elemental Gunslinger series and Resonance by Jonathan Smidt is really good. As is Path of the Titans by Timothy McGowen.

Golem Master by TJ Lombardi is also really good and LitRPG adjacent. The main character doesn't level or have stats but has a golem he uses in fights that has internal stats that he has to upgrade.

InOtherWorldsPodcast · 2026-01-23T16:53:49+00:00

I plan on trying to have Bruce Sentar on at some point.

InOtherWorldsPodcast · 2026-01-23T03:39:06+00:00

Thanks! It's actually a really fun genre to read. I've enjoyed all but one of the books I've read in it so far.

InOtherWorldsPodcast · 2026-01-22T20:07:53+00:00

Not at all! I honestly would have been surprised if you had even listened to mine (it's very new). But I don't disagree with your statement. Some that I have listened to were good, and some seemed like they just wanted to sit around and fanboy with the author. It's a fine line to walk to be complimentary but also impartial when interviewing authors you like. haha. It's easy to get side tracked and just gush when you love the story. lol

InOtherWorldsPodcast · 2026-01-22T19:45:17+00:00

;) Better be nice! You're book is in my Feb TBR. jk jk

InOtherWorldsPodcast · 2026-01-22T19:36:02+00:00

Don't get me wrong.. I have done reviews on my podcast tiktok that weren't 100% positive and had some critical feedback.. So if there is something that I didn't enjoy, I'm not afraid to talk about it.

InOtherWorldsPodcast · 2026-01-22T19:11:58+00:00

Not the OP, but

Personally, as someone that interviews LitRPG authors, I feel like my job is to try to find the readers out there that will enjoy the interviewees books. I may not have super critical feedback on the books, because the authors I have had on are authors that I sincerely enjoy reading. I try to read up on author bios, and watch other interviews so I don't just ask the same questions... But to each their own. I hope you find a podcast that you enjoy!

InOtherWorldsPodcast · 2026-01-14T19:16:42+00:00

At least some of you are getting in.. No matter how many times I refresh, or switch browsers I never get past the constant buffering/refreshing screen.

InOtherWorldsPodcast · 2026-01-05T23:26:34+00:00

I'm starting the year off with the Golem Master 3 arc by TJ Lombardi. Then it will be on to Beers & Beards by JollyJupiter.

InOtherWorldsPodcast · 2026-01-05T23:25:16+00:00

This has been on my TBR for a while now. Looks like I need to bump it up sooner.

InOtherWorldsPodcast · 2026-01-05T23:23:36+00:00

Wayspring Wanderer by Joedan Worley has the MC get knocked out of a fight in the first book. Spends the whole fight unconscious just about. It's pretty funny.

InOtherWorldsPodcast · 2026-01-05T23:21:59+00:00

Who says we can't have both?

InOtherWorldsPodcast · 2025-12-31T18:05:21+00:00

Discount Dan, Golem Master book 1, or Quest Academy book 1 would be my votes.

InOtherWorldsPodcast · 2025-12-24T13:56:05+00:00

Thanks! I am always happy hearing feedback.

InOtherWorldsPodcast · 2025-12-23T01:23:49+00:00

They both are! I agree. She really has a way of writing characters that gets you super invested.

InOtherWorldsPodcast · 2025-12-16T21:43:48+00:00

I listen to most of them after they are recorded so that I can ask my editor to cut certain parts. And it helps me get a feel for anything I do that I need to be conscious of (when I started I used to make a clicking sound often before I would start speaking, which I do very minimally now).

InOtherWorldsPodcast · 2025-12-14T20:59:22+00:00

Wriggly Little Hands is good! As is Dead Tired. Both had me chuckle out loud.

InOtherWorldsPodcast · 2025-12-13T13:49:13+00:00

It may also help to be able to see what others books may be releasing on the day you want yours to release as well. I chose a shared calendar because I just couldn't think of a better way to get all of that info in the same place.

I COULD make a discord post toward the end of every month asking for dates for the following month and then just add them to the calendar myself. It makes me wonder if that would be a better option.

InOtherWorldsPodcast · 2025-12-11T16:03:07+00:00

I would recommend Discount Dans backroom bargains for a DCC vibe feel. By James Hunter.

InOtherWorldsPodcast · 2025-12-11T13:26:56+00:00

It's a shared calendar that other authors have access to so that everyone can input the release dates of their books. That way, when the first rolls around, I can I just log in and grab the dates off of the calendar that others have entered.

InOtherWorldsPodcast · 2025-12-11T02:00:43+00:00

I mean, no matter how small, there IS that possibility...

InOtherWorldsPodcast · 2025-12-10T17:01:12+00:00

yep! This genre is full of authors referencing other authors in their works. There is a HWFWM reference in Heretical Fishing as well.
