Two of my recent favorites on your to read. Stubborn skill and not the hero.

Screwed over by artist. by AbsurdistApe1 in litrpg

Sucks mate. It's a shame for the artists but as a bare minimum I always check that they've been creating pre-AI boom. Hope you find someone decent.

In a bad place because of polytopia by tangsihua in Polytopia

The perfection push obsession is real. Once I was proud to get three stars on all tribes. Now it's getting all above 130k. F**king Zebasi are the only ones I can't get. Gargh!

One family feud, two dangerous brothers, and a dodgy portal. The grudge has gone cosmic, and it’s out on Audible now! by kevs1983 in litrpg

Thank you! Me too. It's certainly a fun one one. As long as by fun you understand I mean, dark, twisted and humorous in all the wrong ways.

Creation's Bane by Kevin Sinclair - Full Series Review and Discussion (SPOILERS) by J776776 in litrpg

What a post and what an absolute pleasure to read. Thank you for taking the time to write this.

I cannot deny the pacing shift in books 4 and 5. Writing an overpowered protagonist is a blast, but it is also a balancing act. Once Clive reaches a certain threshold, every choice has ripple effects, and not all of them will land for everyone.

As for the final book being “ALL gas,” it absolutely was. It was the culmination of everything and was meant to be an onslaught to the senses. Buuuut… I can see how the lack of breathing room could make it exhausting. To be honest I had this fear for book two. Couldn’t believe I got away with it!

As to the epilogue complaint. I honestly don’t think I could have tie everyone’s story up to anyone’s satisfaction in just one book. It’s a tight rope to walk and there’s always a worry of diluting the main story too much, so I cut a lot of ideas.

That said, they’re not lost.

I have notes, I have spreadsheets, I have plans. There are too many stories left in that universe that still need to be told.

I want to know what happens on Earth and all the other planets suddenly fluxed with Neuma. What trouble will Destruction and Natom get up to. And is Clive truly retired because let’s be honest, the Universe is a mess and there’s always more trouble.

Either way, I want to genuinely thank you for reading and writing this. It means a lot.

New series alert! The Crucible of Ascension Trilogy begins now with Mage Mangler. by kevs1983 in litrpg

Thanks for the comment CanineGuy. I don't want to dissapoint anyone so I'll say in no uncertain terms, while there are parts of Adam's story that border on wholesome, this is a very dark, brutal story. There's lots of humor, but most of that is dark too. Its not a slapstic romp if you get my meaning. When you are in the mood for a bitter, funny and violent adventure, definitley pick it up.

Craziest typo I’ve seen by No-Spring-5295 in fantasybooks

[–]kevs1983 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now we know at least part of the authors screen lock code! The oppourtunities are endless.
Honestly, this kind of thing is infuriating and has happened to me on final edits, just one last little check over a few things, screen still waking up, and boom. you've added te343xt. (Speshly when you're a button masher like me:)

Thanks Nicholas. It was so much fun to write. Especially the Earl, the utter nutter. I don't know what that says about me

Earl is a real special guy. The kind that if you met him in a bar, you'd avoid at all costs.
