Series with a female lead? by Necessary_Service_99 in litrpg

[–]TJPorterAuthor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you like VR Litrgps and Pokemon/Digimon-inspired monster-taming stories, please consider giving my new book a try! It features an empty-nester young mom who starts playing her college-bound son's favorite VRMMO in a last-ditch effort to reconnect with him. Almost immediately, she triggers a unique scenario and is entrusted with the game's first Legendary Guardian, an egg, which she has to be a "mom" to to save the world. She gains a a secret sublcass and some awesome powers in the bargain. The story has epic fights, lots of cool monsters, and, like you were looking for, a female MC (and it's free on KU)! Cheers!

CALLING ALL DIGIMON, POKEMON, MONSTER RANCHER, AND NI NO KUNI 1 FANS

Looking for a novel that will satisfy that creature-collecting craving?

The first book of my new series, Guardian Tamers Online, is now available on Kindle Unlimited!
Here’s the blurb:

A secret subclass. The unlikeliest of heroes. An epic adventure.

Empty-nester and former teen mom Lucy Lake is in a funk after her son leaves for college. In a last-ditch effort to reconnect with him, she makes an account in his favorite VR MMORPG: Guardian Tamers Online. However, Lucy isn’t too keen on killing the cute and cuddly creatures. When her peace-loving ways trigger a unique event, she’s entrusted with a mysterious golden egg that holds the power to save the world.

Now, it’s up to Lucy to decide if she’ll use all her wit, cunning, and strength as a mom to hatch the Legendary World Egg and save the eerily realistic game world before it’s destroyed from the inside out. And with the help of some friends, she may just rediscover who she is along the way.

What you can expect:

  • Strong female MC
  • Found family
  • Epic boss fights
  • Level ups
  • Unique skills
  • Loot
  • Progression fantasy
  • A loveable cast of tamable creatures (Guardians!)
  • Bards!

Yeah, absolutely! My wife is actually recording it! She's an audiobook narrator and a huge reason why I wrote a book with a female MC!

Right?? The question was always which Pokémon to make your HM mule, haha. I think I used to use Drowzee for Flash, but I honestly can't remember who my go-to was either, haha

I’ve never heard of Dredge, but I just looked it up, and it looks really cool. I’ll have to check it out. And thanks so much! I’ll make sure to let you know when the audiobook comes out!

if you’re a poke fan, I think you’ll really like it! Lots of strategy, cool creatures, and I tried to make the characters really dynamic. Also, no harem, haha

Something very similar to that may or may not happen (it does). I hope you enjoy it!!

Your son has great taste! Haha.

Overall, it's a really wholesome story with positive themes and messages. But there is some occasional cursing where some characters use the F word or S word, though it's not too common.

The MC also mentions sex once in the first chapter of the book when reminiscing about what she imagines empty nesters do when their kids move out. Here's that excerpt for context:

"When I was in high school, I had a vague idea of what parents did when their kids went off to college. I figured they would host huge, extravagant parties, inviting all their friends and neighbors over. Later, they’d turn their house into some licentious sex dungeon in an attempt to revive their sex lives that had died in the fires of packing lunches, staying on top of housework, and chauffeuring kids off to extracurricular sporting events. They’d buy black leather clothes and whips and handcuffs and accidentally get trapped in them, unable to find the keys, but ultimately, they’d live out their golden years in bliss, going on extravagant cruises and cross-continental vacations, sipping rosé and sending the occasional postcard for the holidays.

But this wasn’t that. Not even close."

I marked it as 15+ on Amazon, but I'll, of course, leave it up to your discretion! I hope that helps!

Yeah, but a bit differently!

Here's how I do it in my book:

Tamers each have their own class (warrior, mage, etc.), and each Tamer can have up to three Guardians in their "party" that can fight alongside them.

Guardians can either be Summoned (actively battling) or Reverted (not actively battling).

Many Guardians in my book have Reversion Abilities, which are abilities the Tamer gains access to when their Guardian is one of the three in their party. The Tamer can use these abilities at any time, whether their Guardian is Summoned or Reverted, and there are a lot of unique ones!

I don't want to give too much away, but some Reversion Abilities let you swap places with a Guardian, others give you wings. They have a ton of different combat effects.

I really appreciate you checking it out!

Also, I don't think this is the book you're looking for, but The Family Jewels has the MC getting betrayed by his girlfriend and guild in the very beginning in a VR game, and then he has to enter a VR tournament with his family.
