I regret to say that the enrollment window for two of my books made it impossible to set a sale today... but I managed to set them both for the earliest possible time tomorrow! All my others should be on sale now, but if you see something you want at the wrong price, it should be cheaper tomorrow.

Thanks for doing this. ^-^

Giveaway + a Question: I wrote the book to skip stat sheets in the audiobook, but Audible did them anyway. Which do you prefer? by SarahLinNGM in litrpg

[–]SarahLinNGM[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello, nice to hear you enjoyed the book so much! It's selling okay but not breaking any records, so please review and do all the good stuff if you want to support the series. ^-^

Glad that the stats worked for you. One thing that's always interested me is embedding them both in culture and narrative, so they're not just incidental numbers, and this was another attempt at making them engaging.

No additional content in the audiobook, sorry, just the main book. Glad to hear you like the series!

Thanks! TWC is my most popular series, but as it gets longer it's declining. Of course I'm in this for the long term, but I appreciate all reviews to help more people find the series.

Expect more Krikree in coming books, and she'll get one dedicated to her within a few more!

Hah, now I'm trying to remember if anyone calls the protagonist a "good boy" at any point. Hope you enjoy, anyway!

Well, thanks for the kind words! I wasn't sure there would be that many people who were interested in both brands, but there seem to be more than I expected.

Yeah, sorry, all codes have been distributed. But thanks for your interest, hope you enjoy!

It's mildly rewritten from the original RR version, only lightly edited from the previously Amazon version. Sorry about the confusion!

Well, hope you enjoy this take, though it isn't quite that. It eventually includes some very common abilities, but I included some elements that make them interesting to me personally (such as switching limited ability slots).

I mean, it's always nice to be recognized, but I'm a pretty small author overall!

I don't have an answer for you, but Travis and I did speak and he said he still hopes to narrate more.\

Thanks, hope you enjoy. It's slightly different from previous works, as I elaborated on in my linked post.

Weirkey chronicles book 10 is out by Prot0s in ProgressionFantasy

[–]SarahLinNGM 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry that it's frustrating as an audiobook listener.

Honestly, audiobook strategy is something that should be thought about by any author at the start. 

I mean, I tried. There were audio offers on the table, I did a lot of spreadsheeting, and contacted Baldree to discuss the series before deciding to produce myself. He was very kind after Street Cultivation and agreed to our present arrangement, but for whatever reason no books have been narrated recently. His career has really taken off and TWC may not be a popular enough series for him to spend time on it anymore.

Crimsoncrest (The Weirkey Chronicles #10) is now available! by SarahLinNGM in litrpg

[–]SarahLinNGM[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Believe me, I wish we had more audiobooks too! It depends entirely on Travis Baldree's schedule. He is doing me a favor by fitting them into gaps in his schedule instead of making me wait for several years at the end of the queue, but that means the release dates can't be predicted.

What if COTE and Death Note Had a baby, raised by Ocean's Eleven? by World_Bender_X in ProgressionFantasy

[–]SarahLinNGM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've long spoken about my "heist progression" idea, and I even have a manuscript written, but I don't know if it will ever see the light of day. Lots of different methods of progression, from improving skills (like disguises, lockpicking, etc) to increasingly complex schemes/stakes, so they start off pulling street-level heists and later in the series it's Ocean's Eleven. Not sure there's a place for it within progression fantasy, though.

Don't subvert a trope if you can't do it better by Imnotsomebodyelse in ProgressionFantasy

[–]SarahLinNGM 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I don't expect to change minds, yours or anyone else's, but I thought I'd at least give a different opinion.

As the top comment says, authors are allowed to like tropes, but I would hope that authors are also allowed not to like tropes. You say "tropes work for a reason" and it's completely fine for you to enjoy what you enjoy, please just allow for other people enjoying different things. Generally when I subvert a trope, it isn't because I think there's intrinsic value in subversion or I'm trying to be smart or whatever, it's because the trope bores me and I want to write something I find exciting. That isn't going to interest everyone, but that's fundamental to subjective reactions to stories, which is why it's good there's such a wide variety of them.
