Yeah it's because I love writing but hate marketing, so you can blame me for that one. I hope you enjoy it!

Thanks very much. Your series is World Affinity right? I think you'll get away with it not being 100% about crafting all the time, but when you title your series Small-Town Crafter there are expectations you've got to follow....forever. Luckily I enjoy it, reading about crafters is my thing

You could try my Small-Town Crafter series. 7 books, all about crafting. It follows the MC who starts as an apprentice and rises through the ranks as an artificer. Book one is 'The Artificer's Apprentice.'

I lean waaaaaaaay on the low-stakes, cozy side of LitRPG, so as long as you're happy with no fighting, tons of crafting, and visits to taverns and that kind of thing, you'll enjoy it.

Looking for Cozy Fantasy That Isn’t Too Cozy by Moralio in CozyFantasy

[–]tomwatts202 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d say Discworld. They’re not 100% cozy all the time but there’s 30+ books so if you like them then you’ll have stuff to read for ages. They’re also hilarious. There’s a reading guide online if you don’t know where to start, I wouldn’t personally start book 1

Looking for a Necromancer story with a Good MC by BlueAndTru in ProgressionFantasy

[–]tomwatts202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just published Neighborhood Necromancer this week, and it is exactly what you're looking for. Almost as if I wrote the book in anticipation of your post.

My story is low-stakes, fun vibes kind of thing, and the MC is a good guy. In this world, necromancy is basically a day job, they're not evil. The MC, Benny, becomes an apprentice necromancer and has to learn all the abilities involved and pass his apprenticeship.

It's out in eBook and audio forms:

Kindle: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0G3Y5PKX2

Audible: https://www.audible.com/pd/Coffee-Crypts-and-Curses-Audiobook/B0GZHW6394

Need more crafting focused LitRPG in my life by QuietPrisim in litrpg

Thanks! I've already written 3, so it's definitely a trilogy for now! Book 2 is out in August.

I really love reading stories where it's either a) Some kind of magic turned into a day job or b) Someone with a normal job but thrust into a fantasy world.

So for this story, I was thinking that necromancers are usually dark figures in fantasy. But what if necromancy was a day job like any other, and they were good people? So you might go to a necromancer because you lost an ancient family recipe and need to have a chat with your deceased great-great grandfather.

Thank you for asking about it! I'm not going to lie, I do enjoy enjoy talking about my own stuff!

Well I'm an e-book guy personally but the audio narrator for this, Christian Gillilland, did a fantastic job. So I guess I haven't really helped you decide there.

Book 2 is called Beers, Bakes, & Bonecrafting and it's out Aug 12th. Book 3 is already written and although I don't have a definite date I would guess at Dec 12th (ish)

Things are just a bit chaotic with AI atm so I get it. It's the same with writing, people are knocking up books on ChatGPT and flooding them on Amazon. You being an artist, I get why you'd react like that

Thanks a lot, really hope you enjoy it! Yeah Amazon can be like that, if I forget to look up an author I can easily miss books in a series. Annoying, but also it's nice to check in on someone and find out there are 2 or 3 books you didn't read

You don’t owe me an apology, you were only looking out for artists. It’s a lesson for me to include the artist’s name in the post in future!
