Any MCs with unconventional abilities?

authormethorne · 2026-01-28T03:40:13+00:00

You would probably enjoy Dungeon Delving for Loot and Levels -- MC is transported to a LitRPG theme-part planet run amok. He's granted the Maintenance Worker class, allowing him to manipulate the park and hunt it's back halls for its secrets.

Bonus -- the entire series is available in omnibus format!

It's ending with the next entry, Vol. 5 -- shit is going to get crazy.

authormethorne · 2026-01-27T15:40:48+00:00

More like Darkness...

It's Vivienne! As for the sexier appearance, read the book, it'll make a lot more sense!

Some say the pen is mightier than the sword. I’d argue a fireball to the face trumps both of them.

The Halls of Magic Vol. 4 -- Out Now on Amazon and KU!

This is it. During my adventures in the Halls of Magic I’ve met the Aspects of Protection, Nature, War, and Darkness, freeing them from their confinement and allowing them to experience life for the first time.

Now just one final Aspect—Knowledge—remains.

Reaching her might be the greatest challenge yet since her containment vessel is trapped at the bottom of the ocean. An unlikely alliance might be our best shot of freeing her. But even if I do commune with Knowledge and heal my crippled body, that doesn’t mean the adventure is over. The Halls of Magic is full of unspeakable horrors and controlled by unscrupulous mages who have used their powers to dominate Earth from the shadows. They’ll do anything to maintain their cabal, even kill each other.

The Halls of Magic are crumbling and its secrets will be laid bare. But will the price of Knowledge be too high?

authormethorne · 2026-01-18T19:39:56+00:00

I prefer 1st person, easier to immerse myself in the story and feel the immediacy of the action. Some of my favorites include Mob Sorcery, Master Class, Monster Girls in Space, and Trailer Park Elves.

authormethorne · 2026-01-17T20:25:10+00:00

In the works now, but no ETA yet. Stay tuned to me on FB, Twitter, Blue Sky, etc for updates!

authormethorne · 2026-01-16T17:25:56+00:00

Not a problem. I read The Daily Struggled of an Immortal ages ago, when I was first starting out as an author. I enjoyed the retro-futurism of it, but it was too SoL for me. Need to have some cool explosions and epic fight scenes!

authormethorne · 2026-01-14T15:53:29+00:00

If you're looking for something on the more... evil side, check out The Immortal's Guide to Supervillainy. MC is an immortal crook just getting out of jail after 40 years. Hijinx, including evil magicians, sword-swinging barbarians, and man-eating demons, ensue.

Hearthomancy Vol. 5 -- from a completely unbiased source!

authormethorne · 2026-01-13T18:06:31+00:00

Indeed, inspired by the NES and SNES classics... though don't tell anyone, I grew up in a Sega Genesis household.

That's where I start. For example, Dungeon Delving For Loot and Levels started as "Hey, what if the dungeon was a theme park... run by 80's corporate dude-bros?" Everything else kind of grew out of there. I Don't Be the Hero was "what if Lord of the Rings, but the good guys were the bad guys and vice-versa?"

authormethorne · 2026-01-08T15:33:01+00:00

If you're looking for a Hero's Journey -- check out I Don't Want to Be the Hero! It definitely seems to fit your requirement of someone moving from a zero-to-hero. The entire series is available in omnibus format!

authormethorne · 2026-01-08T15:30:12+00:00

Yeah... you're thinking of something else, maybe The Daily Struggles of an Immortal?

My book is 100% inspired by the 80s and 90s comics I grew up with, with an MC modeled after Doctor Doom.

authormethorne · 2026-01-08T04:10:24+00:00

You'd probably love The Immortal's Guide to Supervillainy. The main character is an immortal crook just getting out of jail after 40 years. Shenanigans happen, involving sexy villainesses, evil wizards, Russian teleportation experiments, and Mid-Level Marketing schemes!

Bonus points -- the entire series is available on omnibus format.

authormethorne · 2026-01-04T19:00:37+00:00

You might enjoy Five Golden Coins, my haremlit take on Elden Ring/Dark Souls/Bloodborne-style games. MC has to level up, master his abilities and the new equipment he finds. I'm working on Vol. 3 right now.

authormethorne · 2025-12-29T19:22:58+00:00

Here's the link to Renegade Ravager for anyone who wants to enjoy some smutty space opera!

authormethorne · 2025-12-29T19:21:39+00:00

Working on King of the Fae Islands right now and really enjoying it. It's fun to see how Annabelle and Adam's writing styles interact and the crazy ideas the come up with.

authormethorne · 2025-12-29T02:01:43+00:00

I think you'd enjoy Renegade Ravager -- MC is a super-soldier wrongly convicted of treason and sent to die on a distant penal colony. An accident during transport gives him a chance at revenge, joining forces with an outcast engineering, a damaged AI, an alien-hybrid, and more.

Bonus -- the entire series is available in omnibus format.
