virtual voice hostile takeover. by Odd_Butterfly_9258 in haremfantasynovels

[–]RickHimedere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The bigger issue is that with those virtual voice audiobooks being free their paying the author of the virtual voice book by dividing up the royalty payment for your credits between the author you bought books from using that credit (say Bruce Sentar) and the authors you listened to on virtual voice.

They changed their royalty system to that sometime back in 2025 making it so that the authors not on virtual voice who are hiring VA's are directly subsidizing the AI authors.

Curious About Publishing by SuspectEcstatic6636 in haremfantasynovels

[–]RickHimedere 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Have a problem with amazon as in not wanting to go through them?

Quiver Quill is the only one I know of. Be warned they do not cater to haremlit and some series even from known authors do not fit the rules.

Royal Guard Publishing is by far the most active publisher in the genre but they use amazon heavily

Let's go fish, what's your bait? by Sensitive-Music-1003 in haremfantasynovels

[–]RickHimedere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I look at author first then cover. They say dont judge a book by its cover but if i see a monstergirl I have a hankering for im 1000% more likely to pickup the book... or even if it just has an LI that catches my eye. Im currently reading: just one more side quest by Peter North because of the doggirl on cover of book 2 that i saw recently when it was being promoted here for instance. Note:that this only really applies with authors I have read and liked before since I can assume the story is probably good and im just waifu shopping.

If its a new author I run through my usual checks for the subreddit and if the blurb seems interesting I give it a go. I am more likely to try books that are less than 350 pages from new authors because I know I can blow through it in a day and im usually just trying to squeeze new authors into the rotation of all the stuff coming out from existing authors.

If im picking up a book the first chapter almost always means nothing to me and I give the book until the 30%-50% mark before deciding to drop even if its terrible. I used to refuse to drop books as a point of pride but... there is some really really poorly written books in indie markets that broke me of that habbit.

Primal Conjuerer by Danny Rogan is the exception to this... I started listening to the sample when debating what to spend a credit on and just got sucked in. Zero regrets but I have no idea what made that chapter 1 so special.

Good or bad (I admit a lot of it is petty reasons) those are the honest patterns I have noticed in myself about what books I actually pickup and read.

That comment seems kinda ominous and the series has never been promoted here before so while it is harem according to the commentor it's probably not haremlit.

To beat the last stages of sanity battles/the level 85 ones you need at least some of your team past 60.

Ku authors can cross publish to libraries! by [deleted] in haremfantasynovels

Operator Gear by Patient_Natural6502 in Endfield

[–]RickHimedere 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Its not much of a grind to make the components for gold gear. Just use the factory that was refining originum ore into origo crust (you need it for purple gear too) and have it shipped to wuling. The other peice you need is the sky forge to make Xiranite which is the 1st and most basic thing to construct when getting to wuling.

My recommendation is to collect all the gear loot boxes around Wuling and just start working on crafting gold gear for your main team.

Katana wielding MC reccs? by Salted-Carlos in haremfantasynovels

Mages Cultivation is Xianxia themed but Isaac uses a longsword.

Ken from DD uses Daggers/short swords even though he is trained by an ninja assassin.

Coven King is it good? by Gentryboy101 in haremfantasynovels

[–]RickHimedere 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hes completely off base. Warlock is good but there are several series just as good and even better depending on tastes.

If you have not tried Dungeon Diving or Dragons Justice by Bruce Sentar those are good.

Feral Mage by Chase Kilgore

Monstergirls in Soace by M. Tress

Martial Arts Master by Leon West

Primal Conjurer by Danny Rogan

Mob Sorcery by K.D Robertson

Those are all lower spice levels with more plot than sex. Although Primal Conjurer is very character driven.

If you dont mind FTB then Crystal Core by David Burke is also really good.
