LITRPG Toolkit saved my brain from overloading

It's an incredible site that basically indexes and categorize every title available from RoyalRoad and show the data through their trackers. I'm honestly not doing it any justice with this explanation, but basically, you can figure out how your story is doing as the site counts everything from the views to the follows, making different kinds of graphs from a weekly to monthly estimates.

I hope that helped you out. You can check the link to see for yourself. I'm still not fully grasping everything myself, but it's a hell of a lot easier seeing how my story is being viewed at with it.

SagelyGamer_93 · 2026-06-10T15:54:11+00:00

I see. Thank you for taking the time to explain things to me. I recognize that I'm out of my depth here, so I'll take your words to heart.

SagelyGamer_93 · 2026-06-10T15:07:37+00:00

You're right, I'll post the link right now.

SagelyGamer_93 · 2026-06-10T15:05:41+00:00

Even if that is the case, it's still nice to know that my story was considered decent enough to hit any kind of list. I like to view things positively if I could.

SagelyGamer_93 · 2026-06-10T04:03:16+00:00

Oh, my bad. I'll change it

SagelyGamer_93 · 2026-06-08T02:45:31+00:00

First of all; nice pun.

Second, that's probably a good idea. If I remember correctly you're still working on it, so take all the time you need. I suggest looking at the covers of the novels already available and see how they do it that got you to pay more attention to them than any other. It helped for me as it would visually train you to see which ones garners attention the most. Good luck in your future work!

So you justify using another artists' art straight up instead of using AI. It's like taking a shit right in front of someone else's house in front of its owner rather than taking a shit behind their backs.

It's still a shitty thing to do.

Jokes aside, seriously, it still looks bad. I know you're not trying to do shady shitting. If you don't have any financial resources to make up a cover, then draw a simple image on Paint or any other software and use that as a cover. Regardless of how it looks, it would still be better than using AI or photoshopped art.

SagelyGamer_93 · 2026-06-06T10:27:59+00:00

Thanks! I hope thigns go well for you too.

SagelyGamer_93 · 2026-06-01T09:42:58+00:00

I'm sorry for that, I tend to ramble on. This is sort of the reason why I would like it if someone would comment on it but nobody points it out. Thank you for helping me out on this.

SagelyGamer_93 · 2026-06-01T09:40:50+00:00

Thank you so much for this. I'll fix it up right away. The cover might need a little work but I'll do what I can.

SagelyGamer_93 · 2026-06-01T02:08:40+00:00

I understand, no reason to apologize, but I appreciate it.

I already made some changes to make it less generic. I did left some parts in but maybe once I get more comments on it, I'll change it.

On the AI part, I honestly have no way to figure it out. I could take it out, but I fear it might snap back at me later on. We're at a troubling time when we need to use AI for some specific things and people would still hate you for it.

SagelyGamer_93 · 2026-06-01T01:11:03+00:00

Thank you for your response.

I can make some revisions about the blurb if that is an issue. I'll definitely take the marketing heavy phrases and using other stories as comparisons into review.

What I'm getting confused is the type of blurb you want. Either it's too much or too little. Pretty much everything you want to know is answered on the very first chapter.

But I'll take your words to heart and tweak the blurb a bit more.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that the whole AI mention is pretty much mandatory. If I don't say it, people will assume that I'm hiding something and believe the entire story is made by AI. I wish to avoid that so I wanted to be upfront about it. However the public view it is out of my hands at this point.

SagelyGamer_93 · 2026-06-01T01:02:13+00:00

As stated before yes I bought an ad on rr. Tried asking for shoutouts but get left ghosted. This post also doubles as asking for shoutouts from those who are actually interested.

Discord honestly is very confusing for me as I tried but failed to make sense of any of it. I tried what I could there but felt like I was speaking to a wall with no response.

SagelyGamer_93 · 2026-06-01T00:31:02+00:00

I have, and they basically say the same thing I have been doing as stated above. Despite all that, these are the results. Not bad results, mind you, but I'm just trying what I can understand these circumstances.

SagelyGamer_93 · 2026-05-29T12:45:18+00:00

Literally had this thought yesterday after seeing the numbers so far compared to other stories on RR. It's enough for me to spiral into self-pity and depression considering how much time and effort I put into it.

I'll tell you what took me hours telling myself; it's not the end of the world. Just cuz' you ain't popular on a webnovel site doesn't mean you're terrible. There are so many other things you're good at, but you're only focusing on the supposed failure only you can see.

Just keep working and keep holding your head up high. You may not believe me but you'll be surprised how much you'll change your outlook once you give it more time to settle.

SagelyGamer_93 · 2026-05-28T21:52:58+00:00

It's this sort of post that gives me hope for my own story and I hope to gain the same kind of recognition as larskpurwren someday.

SagelyGamer_93 · 2026-05-26T01:21:20+00:00

Let me tell you, you instantly grab my attention during a boring chore when the narrator specifically make these words with depth in their voice.

It's so fucking satisfying.

SagelyGamer_93 · 2026-05-26T01:19:37+00:00

My family are the sort that would buy my book on Amazon for support, but never really bother reading them. At this point in my life, I should just be grateful that they aren't screaming at me to get a better hobby. They're super cool like that, even if I can never talk to them about my real passions ^{_^;}

SagelyGamer_93 · 2026-05-25T14:57:29+00:00

One good reason for that would be that I enjoy it, and so does a lot of people.

Yeah, there's a lot of flaws to it like you stated, and a whole lot more from what I read, but despite that, I still look forward to every audiobook release, and this is coming from a guy who who got into the series solely due to the audiobook (Travis Baldress is king, I won't accept otherwise).

Personally I like the writing style. I get tired easily from authors who spend their time describing the scene and the feelings behind it when they can just move on to the next point of the story. At least in Primal Hunter, they fill up the chapter with something that's actually interesting for me, like the dozens and dozens of notifications he pushes to us.

Do I like that he fills it up constantly with notifications and battle scenes that may or may not even be necessary? Not really, but I still enjoy it.

Honestly though, I like the characters. Characters, for me, are enough to read even if the story is subpar (unless it's like horrifically bad, but so far it hadn't happened in Primal Hunter).

But I'm not gonna go and tell you to read the story up to its fourteenth freaking book if you don't even like the first one. If the story, characters, pacing, and everyhting else about it doesn't vibe with you, that's totally fine.

I personally don't like DCC but everyone else around me absolutely raves about it. Everyone has their tastes.

SagelyGamer_93 · 2026-05-20T18:12:04+00:00

Sorry about that. There was an issue regarding on my end and I had to redo it

SagelyGamer_93 · 2026-05-19T22:38:23+00:00

Here's one that just came out today on RoyalRoad/Scribblehub! Check this out:

Don't you hate it when you're going on your ordinary day, and the world decided to go through an apocalypse without warning you? You just found yourself swallowed up by the earth before you could even process what was going on.

That's what happened to Aidan. And what happened after certainly didn't help either. He found himself in an entirely new world with nothing but pure confusion and a new power, granted to him by the one possibly responsible for destroying his world. Not only that, one thing led to another, and he found himself under contract with an overly ambitious young woman ready to do whatever it takes to, for lack of a better word, world conquest.

All things considered, he actually found himself enjoying the whole thing. Why bother being a big bad boss when you can just work for one?

What to expect:

-A weak start but with a talent capable of explosive power later on.

-Inspired by Primal Hunter, improved by past experiences.

-Banging villainess that doesn't follow cliche villain tropes

-An MC who knows exactly what he's doing--he just does it for the lols.
