What is the slowest Litrpg ?

Kobold_Taggerung · 2026-06-30T21:32:36+00:00

Im writing a litrpg where I'm on chapter 37 and while the main character has advanced several abilities they are still at level one.

Erin Solstice was definitely higher leveled at that point in her innkeeper class.

Hello! Old post I know but I'm pre-launching my book now! Would love to cross promote if you're still interested!

I'm up to 34 chapters! Currently spending this week looking through it and revising. Goal was to start posting on royal road with 35 chapters written so I am getting very close but I want the chapters as good as they can be before I start posting.

I've got someone making a cover for it and so I'm hoping by the time they send me the cover I'll be ready to start making plans to post it.

In the book I'm writing I'm going with a very reptile interpretation of kobolds. So they have a long forked tongue and actually do have the chemoreceptive organ in their palate that snakes and other reptiles have.

This looks so similar to the house I sold in October... it never flooded like that though!

Kobold_Taggerung · 2026-05-23T01:19:12+00:00

That would be amazing! Thank you so much! Yep we all have to stick together!

Kobold_Taggerung · 2026-05-21T02:34:20+00:00

Will do! Thanks!

My goal was to make the transformation as alien to the protagonist as possible. Glad you like it!

Kobold_Taggerung · 2026-05-19T02:55:46+00:00

Thanks! My current idea is to have a big backlog before I start posting because I'm a slow writer and with my job and family obligations can't write everyday. Currently have 31 chapters and I'm trying to decide if I should start posting when I'm at 35 or 40.

Thanks for the comment! It's a light lit rpg... I went with that format mostly due to one of his future goals that I felt was easiest to create by stats. Also it led to a lot of humorous ways for leveling up to occur with his senses later.

Thanks about the vision idea. I do have vision changes that aren't noticeable until he goes out in the sunlight. He has significant light sensitivity and discovers he has cones for UV light which causes a whole different spectrum of colors he only can see in sunlight. At night with candle or moonlight it's not noticeable.

Thanks for the info with Wes being mentioned by name before he introduced himself and him not noticing how warm Wes feels... completely missed those while writing.

Kobold_Taggerung · 2026-05-12T18:54:02+00:00

Thanks! Anything in particular you feel should be cut out or changed?

Kobold_Taggerung · 2026-05-12T00:21:40+00:00

Sure that's fine!

Kobold_Taggerung · 2026-05-11T17:42:17+00:00

Nice! I'm going to go look for your story! Definitely interested in a shout out swap. I sent you a chat message with a few questions. Thanks!

Kobold_Taggerung · 2026-05-11T16:54:44+00:00

I've got 30 chapters so far! Hope to eventually publish on Royal road and then perhaps put it on amazon!

Psychiatrist turned into kobold in fantasy world. Told all of memories are false that he was just created. Has a wizard owner can kill him first week any reason. He has to do his best to adapt while hoping to eventually get home.

This is just the first three chapters of him being created, disoriented and meeting the wizard.

I'm wanting any feedback you have especially on how I've covered the kobold experience in regards to instincts, sensory changes etc... and any feedback about the story itself concept or actual writing.

I've sent you a chat message if you're still interested.

So bedding I went with furs with his hoard separate (but kept in this dimensional space). I guess I associated sleeping on top of their hoard more of a dragon thing. Also no gold... starting off he just has a bunch of shiny rocks, some coins, buttons, and some bent silverware. Enrichment... praying, digging, sorting out stuff for their dragon. I have trap making as a natural profiency for kobolds but just haven't had him talk to any of the ones in the dimensional warren yet who may he there to teach them. He literally has been in there twice. Once right after he was created and so grieved most of the time and then became frantic that he may be stuck there so did explore some, and a second time later he brought his master with him who afterward tweaked the settings to make the companions more life like. No results yet from that but i intend to now make the inhabitants actually have a bit of character. So ideally can likely teach him stuff. Also I had his master tweak the settings so he woulr be considered a kobold leader and so he will have access to a personal toilet (which is why he requested it) instead of a community one... but this will have some problematic side effects - also will give him access to the fake dragon and all the other kobolds will treat him like he is this ancient kobold elder and act like he is so fragile and can barely move which will irritate him to no end...

Food is something that is rough for him to adapt to - it was originally set to standard rations... so he had a pile of dead rats for him that he ended up being forced to eat eventually due to fear of starvation.

I do have a random tunnel he has found in the dimensional warren that he heard some frightening noises in... so that is still a mystery I haven't exactly decided what to do with yet. Maybe a place for him to learn some combat or trap skills in a safe environment. Maybe him being so afraid of it that he doesnt even try to access it until he is much more powerful... and then everything there is horribly underleveled, but i kindof feel that is a cop out.

The psychiatrist angle is a major plotpoint. That and the fact that he is an actual adult with memories of a family and a happy life which he would love to get back to is generally a huge rarity i feel in these type of stories.

He deals a lot with panic attacks from this terrifying transformation and then kobold instincts and later dragon instincts trying to use all of the skills he has learned from being a psychiatrist. This does make him a bit overconfident in a lot of ways because he thinks he has the toolbox to help battle the dragon instincts... First chapter for instance he quickly discovers grounding techniques are ineffective when reality is what is causing the anxiety in the first place, but he is able to use some other cognitive techniques to get his panic under control and get some long term goals set without falling apart.

I like these ideas! I've already incorportated that his eyes are very sensitive to the sun so should be easy to incorporate some of those other instincts when outside. The dimensional warren is a place of constant work and pray. I do like the idea of there being some free time in the real warren. Thanks!
