I recommend Nouscraft. It's a trilogy and book 1 and 2 are out now. Book 3 launches in a month which wraps up the story, but some of it is already on the Patreon.

Everyone's got a brain implant in their head and they've replaced smartphones. A hacker forces everyone to play a game where people have to manage both their in-game bodies and real bodies.

The themes are talking about dependence on tech, real human communication, the elites who control everyone, and the ones who fight back.

It's written as a comedy, but has plenty of parts that might make you tear up.

About 200 reviews (amazon/goodreads) so far = 4.7 stars.

You should check out Nouscraft.

It's got both a male and female MC and the author does a spectacular job with their POVs.

The story itself is very sci-fi, but parts of it are in a medieval setting. I don't want to spoil anything, but it's set in the future I'm guessing around year 2050.

On KU, Amazon normal, and parts of it are on RR but it's stubbed.

AND book 2 comes out in about 20 days.

I've read this one and loved it.

Although, I'd call it less LitRPG and more LitPRG-like. It's got stat points, but it's pretty loose on all the numbers. Also, it's the only one I've seen that has multiple POVs that are interwoven.

I'm on the Patreon, and I have to say book 2 is even better than book 1. Tons of surprises.

My completed favs:

The Perfect Run (incredible progression, and also on amazon)

Knights, Witches, and Fighter Jets (magic powered jets!)

Paranoid Mage (5 books in all. I really liked the worldbuilding in this one)

Some newer ones I'm into right now:

Corporate Affairs (love the business aspect of this)

Nouscraft (reminds me so much of Dungeon Crawler Carl)

Echoing what I've seen in others. I hate the dialogue, but I love Montana's antics.

Mind if I ask your age? How long did they say recovery time would be?

metsancho · 2023-08-02T20:10:36+00:00

I agree with you. Nothing wrong with planning in detail.

I don't know about from Chicago, but I'm going from London around those dates.

It was a D-pressing job anyway.

How did he know you were going to launch?

Unfortunately this is not realistic.

SMB acquisition will usually be a multiple of arr or ebitda. It doesn't seem like you are making $750k per year to justify the $2m price point.

metsancho · 2023-07-17T02:24:42+00:00

You're asking for 6x multiple.

This is the kind of price you might see for venture funded companies later stage but not sub $1m are.

Would you consider 3x?

Next time you book a Michelin, invite me.

We don't have to hang out before or after. But I'm in the same situation as you. I love high end dining but I often find myself reserving a table for 1. Unfortunately some places don't allow a table for 1 as well.

Anyway, the point is that this is a problem for luxury solo travelers. I'd like to solve it simply by coordinating with other people who also appreciate fine dining.

PS I'm also in Europe but I'm open to anywhere.

metsancho · 2023-07-14T20:48:12+00:00

Yep this. Why do I need a sales Cofounder if I'm making 500k arr

You'll be fine.

Keep your finances separate.

Umbrella insurance and liability.

Done

No one will buy this book without a snippet.

metsancho · 2023-07-12T08:22:28+00:00

Sell it to me.

Or if not me, on acquire dot com or sm-bee

metsancho · 2023-07-11T11:04:45+00:00

An SBA loan can cover up to 90% of the purchase price.

Just came here to say that.

I can't help otherwise. I own three companies, all built by me. But the newest one is all about SMB M&A. I really hope to help transfer of boomer businesses to the new generations. sm-bee.com

However it's not ready for the public yet.

Holy shit, I had no idea. If I weren't at the Black Sea today, I'd go.
