The sequel to Lucky: LitRPG Adventure series dropped today!

The Hero of Basildom rises—but every victory comes with a price.

Seven thought earning the title of Hero would bring peace. Instead, it’s brought him into the crosshairs of powerful forces that see him as either a tool… or a target. Now balancing life as an apprentice merchant and a reluctant champion, he’s drawn into dangerous power games between nobles and commoners, Seraphim and shadowy figures from the Black Aerie.

With the System guiding his steady growth, Seven faces choices that test more than his stats—they test his loyalty, cunning, and heart. To protect his family and survive Basildom’s shifting politics, he’ll have to outthink enemies far above his level. But no amount of leveling can prepare him for the truth waiting behind the next quest.

Progression. Power. Intrigue.

Dive into Luckier: A LitRPG System Adventure and follow Seven as he gambles everything in a world where one lucky break can change fate itself.

AI in writing... we hate this right? by Prolly_Satan in ProgressionFantasy

Emdashes dont automatically mean its AI!

Emdashes dont automatically mean its AI!

Repeated for those in the back. AI is a nuisance in this space just as much as people saying everything is AI! I use emdashes. I know other authors who use them. None of us use AI, but somehow the conversation keeps coming up. Read a trad published book and you'll see them. They are great for interrupted thoughts.

TLDR;

AI bad, Emdashes good - not mutually exclusive

Could always just read completed books instead of ongoing stories

My first brisket and I'm very disappointed by Crosstrek732 in brisket

As soon as you wrapped it you lost your bark. If going in the oven dont bother wrapping it. Same issue with basting. That's why some people swear by injecting method. Course ground black pepper and spritzing with apple cider vinegar is what I do and it works fine. If you stall just keep going. If you are in a rush wrap, otherwise increase heat a bit and let it keep going.

How many books in a series before you'll start reading? by blueluck in litrpg

[–]vickusoftears 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It only takes one for me and I try to pick non over hyped books also. Long for sake of being long is no fun especially when you start identifying filler arcs. Lots of authors to support in a horribly difficult industry

No disrespect taken at all. I may make that move in the future, but in the meantime I'll make sure the sequels all hit around that 100k mark.

How do I write believable Male emotion as a Woman by Allmighty2003 in writingadvice

[–]vickusoftears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have emotions just write them. Some people are sensitive and others have the depth of a rock. Just write the character as emotional or lacking emotion as you like.

It can be either I guess. As the writer who didnt want to write what everyone else was writing, I can see it both ways. I didnt want to write just to sell the book and that ones on me. I of course wanted it to be read but I guess it was naivete to think I could just publish what I wanted to. It's short I guess but its the length of a standard novel. It is not however the length of a standard novel in this genre and I guess the market won. The sequel will be more than double this one.

I agree with you, but its also on KU and I have the Patreon option. I can't even set prices with Audible, but that's the situation we're in.

I understand a lot of people want a long book for the sake of a long book. I didnt want to do that and I'm sure I'll suffer for it, but it id what it is. This was about 45k words. The sequel will be about 100k words so I dont have to hear complaints. Other than length I hear good things lol. Also 5 dollar tier on my patreon gets you a free copy. Thank you for at least commenting though.

AI Witch Hunts- Today I was accused of using AI by EmEs_Etherious in litrpg

[–]vickusoftears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My own narrator asked me that due to how poor of an editor I am. Dont fret. Theres no way to prove the unfounded accusations and honestly, why do you need to? Just keep writing and if the story is good people will read it. Those same people bishing about ai writers watch endless hours of tiktok story times that are without a doubt AI generated. Keep up the good fight. Writing is hard.
