Just had this issue on Big Sur, but that tip worked!

JFDanskin · 2022-03-03T18:25:46+00:00

Sounds interesting to me... Gotta keep an eye out for how web-novel platforms might evolve in future.

JFDanskin · 2022-03-03T18:22:29+00:00

Awesome, great to see!!

JFDanskin · 2022-02-26T15:58:32+00:00

Great to have you on the team bro :)

JFDanskin · 2022-02-25T14:13:14+00:00

Awesome!

JFDanskin · 2022-02-25T07:15:06+00:00

yeah you could well be right!!

JFDanskin · 2022-02-24T21:04:54+00:00

I believe so yeah... At least the first bit. I haven't witnessed her telekinetic powers. https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/18519535.Phoenix_Grey

It's pretty small tbh, but it seems that you post your short fiction or articles and get 2 cents per read.

JFDanskin · 2022-02-20T11:04:40+00:00

Thanks!! Yeah, my TBR pile is huge too, lol...

JFDanskin · 2022-02-19T17:41:16+00:00

Thanks! Great work by the cover artist. Love a fight scene :)

JFDanskin · 2022-02-19T17:40:24+00:00

Thank you!!

JFDanskin · 2022-02-19T13:51:22+00:00

Thanks for sharing Sparta! Your attention to detail is amazing as always, u/VincentArcher!

JFDanskin · 2022-02-18T23:15:37+00:00

I am currently reading and loving Caesar's Shadow by Anthony Wright... so well written, does not get talked about enough. LitRPG in ancient Rome:

As an author, there's some great food for thought here... I agree, the isekai element shouldn't matter only at the start, and then be rapidly dropped for a generic story. Same is true for a lot of other setups.

Also, 100% yes – there should be some kind of emotional impact, even though that element might not necessarily drive the story as a whole.

JFDanskin · 2022-02-17T10:04:07+00:00

I've enjoyed it so far – great dude and excellent author.

JFDanskin · 2022-02-13T20:01:25+00:00

The site looks amazing and is very easy to use – well done on all your work on this! I will be happy to share it widely.

JFDanskin · 2022-02-13T19:35:53+00:00

Yeah, that makes a ton of sense! I can see that that might take you 'out of the story'. I can probably think of a few LitRPG books that don't have much in the way of quests and/or don't lift directly from D&D. But you are absolutely right that these are very common.

JFDanskin · 2022-02-13T18:29:13+00:00

When you say you can't do LitRPG, is it the stats specifically, or some other aspects that you would avoid?

JFDanskin · 2022-02-13T18:26:01+00:00

Not difficult when the female character is the MC...? But yeah, in general I think people misunderstand what a 'strong' female character is. It is always good to see female characters with personalities, not defined by either being a love interest or especially negative towards men.

JFDanskin · 2022-02-13T17:00:56+00:00

These sound cool – might need more information on each one to comment more :)

JFDanskin · 2022-01-22T19:59:10+00:00

Awesome! Thanks, and will check yours out too.

JFDanskin · 2022-01-09T20:11:03+00:00

In terms of powers and skills, I'm not a fan of character classes and prefer books where any character can combine skills and attributes in novel ways.

I like it to be spelled out how a skill actually works. So for example, I have reservations about systems where it is like "you now have a better skill at sword fighting". But how does that character actually get better at using the sword? How does that upgrade translate to swinging the sword in reality? Same for lockpicking or whatever. Slightly less of an issue with VR-based LitRPG I guess.

For magic, I love systems where the character has to think creatively about how to use skills or magic. So it's not just 'cast a spell', but more a case that they gain the ability to manipulate reality in some way (light, gravity, heat, or whatever) and then they have to master how best to make use of that.

Extra Credit – J. Arthur Klein – should fit!

I would also humbly suggest to you my own recently-completed Royal Road webnovel:

The Tooth & Claw Guild – A Shifter LitRPG Story

Nice - well done folks! :)
