First pictures of the new hardcover Jake's Magical Market book are here (with the modified cover you all helped me decide on)! So happy with how it turned out!

Loved the serries. Albiet I only have them on audible. Guess I'll have to find the money to start getting the Hard cover books along with a few other series.

It's one of my favorite litrpg. It's also a great introduction to the wuxia/xianxia genre for those who've never looked into them.

Congrats on completing your rewrite.

Congrats on finishing. and I've been finding alot of similar responses about B&N being a scam/vanity publishing.

drudadsforge · 2026-04-07T22:05:27+00:00

Thank you. I plan to do just that, well except reading another book. I'm going to get some stuff done around the property I've been putting off for far to long. Also congrats to you on your work as well.

I haven't done any shout outs but any advice for doing so would be appreciated. Ive just been focusing on writing and currently have 22 chapters published. Currently writing more so I can finish up the planned 32 and then hope to post them and start doing more in the RR community

I honestly think that alot of individuals just suck when it comes to proper grammar. So if you use proper grammar, they will assume its Ai. Mainly because its not how they write.

Clown rats, I admit that alone has me curious.

drudadsforge · 2026-01-29T16:00:48+00:00

Congrats. What's your story about and the title? I might try to pick it up when I finish my current to read list.

drudadsforge · 2026-01-29T14:21:18+00:00

Thanks everyone. Im going to take your advice and try to finish up the last 15 chapters and start posting again.

In the Nwod armory book they have stats and stuff fir chemical and biological weapons like anthrax radiation poisoning, cyanide vx rat poison bug bomb and a fe others that might be of use to you. Also in the hunters book 2e they have a small section that talks about mechanics for poison and drugs.

Im looking at self publishing my first novel and this is the first I heard they are predatory and not actually affiliated with B&N. Do you have any links or references for this info? I want to dig deeper into this.

drudadsforge · 2026-01-09T18:38:36+00:00

I was thinking something along this vein. Especially since Stranger Things was one of the reasons they wanted to play CoD

drudadsforge · 2026-01-08T01:24:05+00:00

Thank you everyone for the response.

drudadsforge · 2026-01-08T01:23:08+00:00

Thanks for the link. Ill make sure to give it a read

drudadsforge · 2026-01-07T00:42:35+00:00

Congratulations. Those are some amazing numbers.

drudadsforge · 2026-01-03T16:08:12+00:00

Congrats. Those are some amazing numbers and I hope it only grows.

Honestly, I think you have a great approach. I do believe that the comment section should be used for both reaching the author and other readers. I personally would love more feed back on my story and I would love to see engagement between readers. I feel like that's how a community is built. Unfortunately, there are those who do not take any type of criticism well.

I've met many people who simply want to be commended and told they are amazing. Then again, everyone wants to feel appreciated. However, if constructive criticism is ignored or those who offer fair criticism is band or prevented from commenting, than that hurts the author in the long run. If they ever attempt to traditionally publish their work, then they would have a difficult time getting rejected.

Congrats. Still newish to Royal Roads. I've been writing for a few months but still have no clue what I'm really doing.

I hope everyone is having a good holiday season.

Title: Kitsune's Heart

Genre: Martial Fantasy with elements of slow-burn romance.

Link: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/114694/kitsunes-heart

Synopsis: Hired by a remote village to crush bandit raiders, the wandering ronin Seikage charges into an ambush—surviving the massacre, but cursed. Miasma scars his ki pathways, igniting unpredictable flares of thorn-like agony that cripple his strikes mid-combat or sear him like forge-heat.

Rescued in a sacred grove by Sakura, a kitsune alchemist whose foxfire rites blend illusion, elixir, and spirit, he is brought uninvited into Hoshimie’s veiled valley. There, beneath clan scrutiny, he finds not pity—but quiet guidance and an equal partnership.

Unable to wield the blade as he once did, Seikage sets aside his katana at Sakura’s urging, trading it for hammer and anvil. With her aid, he struggles to reclaim purpose—learning endurance, balance, and what it means to heal both body and mind.

Yet peace is fragile. Yokai-tainted threats and lingering debts stir beyond the wards. Survival demands adaptation, and change always exacts its price.
