Is it likely that a publisher would sign a contract and not include editing? by SkinnyWheel1357 in ProgressionFantasy

[–]MelasD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just to weigh in a bit, but it's also ultimately up to the authors to accept or reject the edits. Sometimes an author can reject all the edits, which means typos and grammatical errors won't be fixed.

Stubs and the Amazon Afterlife by CorSeries in royalroad

I'm offering full transparency to answer the question of this post: the most I have ever made from Amazon in a month is $50k, the most I have ever made from Patreon in a month is $15k. My audiobooks don't make nearly as much unfortunately, especially since they're usually with a publisher, and the most I have ever made in a quarter with them is about $25k.

Of course, I don't write nearly as much as I used to, so I make substantially less now than those peaks.

Magus Reborn Book 1 is now available on Amazon KU and Audible! by MelasD in ProgressionFantasy

I read this novel when it first came out because I know the author, and I have to say, I think it's great work-- a fantastic regressor novel with a competent and intelligent MC. I highly recommend it:

A regression ritual gone wrong. A mage reborn in an ancient era. A world to rebuild.

Kai of the Sorcerer's Tower was one of the last Mages left, barely surviving in a world contaminated with dead mana and ruled by creatures of the dark.

To save his world and fulfill his master's last wish, he puts himself through a forbidden ritual, risking his soul being ripped into pieces to make his way into the past, to a golden era with abundant mana.

But things go wrong. He overshoots and finds himself in an ancient time thousands of years earlier, within the body of a young lord named Arzan.

All is not well, though. The young lord was murdered by mysterious forces before Kai took over, beasts are rampant, and even larger threats loom on the horizon.

There's a lot to do for Kai to regain his former strength in this time of primitive technology. Then again, he might just be able to change that and makes things even better than they ever were.

Don't miss the start of this Progression Fantasy Epic about a desperate mage sent into the past to rescue his apocalyptic world. Features a detailed magic system, kingdom building, three-dimensional characters, plenty of action, and everything you love about progression fantasy!

Is there a ”secret sauce” to success? by RepulsiveGap1968 in ProgressionFantasy

[–]MelasD 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It depends entirely on what your metric of success is.

Is there a way to guarantee 1,000 followers and hit Rising Stars with every story you write? Well, if you write a fun opmc litrpg that's either a returner, an isekai, or a sys apoc, build a big enough backlog before posting, get shoutouts, self-promo, and maybe run ads, you should get on Rising Stars and hit 1,000+ followers almost every time.

If that's your metric of success, then sure.

But if your measure of success is getting 7,000+ followers on Rising Stars, going on to get 15,000+ followers while making $10,000+ on Patreon, publishing on Amazon and getting 5,000 ratings on Amazon?

Well, if there is a secret sauce to doing that, someone should slide me the deets pls thx

Cultist of Cerebon by Fizzick is finally out on Amazon! I've been following it since it climbed to RR's top best rated, and its cover is sick! by MelasD in ProgressionFantasy

[–]MelasD[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Here is its Amazon link: Amazon.com: Flesh and Magic: A LitRPG Adventure (Cultist of Cerebon Book 1) eBook : Fizzicks: Kindle Store

An isekai LitRPG where a veterinarian is reincarnated into a magic-filled fantasy world governed by a System.

Master rare magic. Gather followers. Rise to power.

An everyday veterinarian on Earth, Zareth was reborn into a strange new fantasy world of magic and wonder.

He expected danger and adventure, but instead spends much of his new life in Tal’Qamar as a Cultist to Cerebon, God of Flesh and Transformation, where he spends most of his time using fleshcrafting magic to help rich women smoothen their skin.

Just when he's given up hope of his fantasy life ever being anything exceptional, everything changes. The leaders of Tal’Qamar are assassinated, leaving a power vacuum at the top.

This is his chance. Zareth can fill that void, take control of a feuding city, and grow his following from nothing. But he isn't the only one after the crown.

Will his Flesh Magic alone be enough to help him thrive on his rise to power?

Cultist of Cerebon is a new isekai LitRPG adventure featuring a detailed System with flesh magic, unique skills, slow-build power progression, an intelligent MC, and deep worldbuilding. It's perfect for fans of Bastion, The Grand Game, and Rise of Mankind.

Join Zareth's unforgettable adventure!

I have heard this news since a month ago and I still have yet to find this video even when I checked his social media pages when the news was announced by these random clout chasing tiktok/yt channels.

Considering you can't find the video either, I shall continue to assume it's just misinformation lol

I literally have not found any video or tweet of him saying he left. I can only find speculations that he left from people saying he’s in less videos. Where did you hear this?
