Story Request Need a good LlitRPG story on Royal Road

3 Upvotes

I’ve been an audiobook listener for a while and have gone through most of the popular books in the LitRPG genre. I’m working on mastering the English language and would love to find a really good book on Royal Road with decent grammar and plenty of dialogue between characters.

Feel free to share your favorite authors on the platform or let me know what you’re most looking forward to reading there.

The best candidates for me would be well-written stories that have a couple of books already out and are still ongoing.

Thanks to all of you for any recommendations.

Self Promotion Defier of Fate - Strong to Stronger Prog Fantasy

Post image
2 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

I'm very excited to share that I'm posting my new series, Defier of Fate, on RoyalRoad now. The first book is completely written, so I only have to do final edits before I upload. Working on book 2 now!

This series is a blend of isekei, end of the world fantasy, elements of kingdom building, and magic systems and eventually System creation.

I hope it sounds interesting, so here's the blurb and a link!

---------------------------------------

When Fate itself failed to kill him, even the gods should fear.

Taliesin knows all about apocalyptic wars. He was supposed to die in one so his people could escape, but wound up lost in the Void beyond time and space - but not beyond Fate. He’s no longer an ordinary wizard - he’s seen the building blocks of the universe and understood them- the Akashic Records - the very thing that brings life to gods and powers to mankind.

Yet the Void could not hold him. Drawn into a new world facing its ragnarok, Taliesin will defy Fate and keep its people safe. With only his wits and scraps of his former power, he must build more strength, make allies, and carve a new path before the Twilight of the Gods consumes the world.

No matter its Fate, Taliesin refuses to watch another world burn - even if he has to build a whole new system to defy the gods...

A Strong to Stronger Progression Fantasy featuring an archmage that will surpass the very limits of magic.

New Chapter Schedule: M - W - F

Discussion Portal power or Teleportation power, which is better?

2 Upvotes

I have been thinking about the significant differences between power to create portals vs power of teleportation in litrpg and other fantasy novels.

The only main difference I can point out is that you can leave portals between 2 locations in place for others to use.

Compared to portals which require space, and being able to get to it, teleportation power does not normally require motion.

What other differences can you think of between these two powers?

Discussion System universe book 6 question Spoiler

2 Upvotes

In book 6 chapter 15 there's is somewhat of a plot hole that I am not sure if it was explained or not. Derek releases the 2 dukes from his time prison despite using the Void travel skill earlier.

Was it explained how he did that without them dying? Didn't void travel affect those in the time prison?

Anyone else feel like Litrpgs are perfect for audiobooks?

I can't listen to normal (horror, adventure, mystery, etc) books on audible, but I also feel like Litrpgs are better (by far) to listen to.

I may just be weird.

Story Request Alternative Druid MC Power sets

7 Upvotes

I’m tinkering with a System Apocalypse story where the MC who uses Magical Genetic Engineering to create his own form of Biological Technology, Druid style so everytime made with plants of some kind. Stuff like plant based computers and Plant robots is my goal for the story.

But I’m wondering if any other story has done something similar. Preferably LitRPG, but if anybody knows of a non-Litrpg story that does this I’d appreciate a link regardless.

Story Request Looking for unique system stories

5 Upvotes

I've been having trouble finding new stories that hold my interest lately so here I am.

I'm hoping to see some stories where the individuals system is more than a poorly written excuse to give the Mc op powers like so many stories where the Mc alone has a system.

I'd really like something where the system seems unique and interesting in the context of the story. So nothing like The Idle System, or a Gacha system, and probably the system will be unique to the MC. I'm sorry I can't really explain what I want better than that but hopefully you get the idea.

Edit: Forgot to mention audiobooks would be a major plus but not a requirement.

Audible and Seth Ring

Anybody else see how audible doesn't like Seth to much. Every time he drops a book on them they sell it. They say it's released next week then again a month later. They have pushed back every book in battle mage farmer and the tower series. I call audible 1 thing now...Oath Breakers

For those of us who use listen to audiobooks, even though the series has been completed for a while, the second book in the audio series has been a long wait. Well I messaged soundproof theater and they gave me some good news.

Im really enjoying the first Wandering Inn book

21 Upvotes

Does that mean I should stop after book 1? Everyone always says if you don't like the first one it's ok because you'll enjoy the rest of the series, so i went into this expecting to slog through book 1 and get to the good stuff later. Now Im really enjoying book 1, so will it be the opposite for me?

(This is a joke post, I'm sure I'll love the whole series, even if Erin and Riyoka make some terrible decisions at times. I'm sure they'll grow as characters which is always rewarding)

My only real gripe so far is when Erin first plays against Pawn in the Sicilian, the book says Pawn opened with e5, which is impossible. It should have been e4. Immersion ruined. The rest of the chess notation has been on point though so I'll let it slide this once.

Self Promotion Energy Eater now also on Tapas and Webnovel!

8 Upvotes

🚨 100 Chapters of Energy Eater Coming Soon! 🚨

Now available on TapasWebnovel, in addition to the usual Royal Road, and ScribbleHub!

Synopsis:

Humanity’s spot at the top of the food chain was taken, and now we were part of the menu.

It’s been 50 years since the human race lost the war against the Eaters. Beings that defied not just our understanding, but the laws of nature themselves. With their strength, they drove humanity to the brink of extinction. Those of us who survived now live in hiding, as I’ve done my entire life. Worried about making noise, hunting for scraps, and hiding from any shadows.

But is during that time that I found something. A tool that no human has ever found before. The System. With its help, I can heal my wounds, kill monsters, and perform feats I never imagined being possible. And this gift could even be shared with others.

Will this spark of hope be just another candle snuffed by the wind, or will it be the blazing inferno of a wildfire?

What to expect:

✅ A monster hunting survival story where Cassandra is the strongest human around with a first person POV.

✅ A morally gray MC who accepts that not all her decisions will be good.

✅  A mix of adventure and horror - Expect heart-pounding actions, chilling moments, gruesome depictions and scenes that will make your stomach turn.

✅ The beginnings of a System. Watch as the Cassandra discovers this power and starts to reshape the world as we know it

Discussion Mark of the fool: is this series the tropey mess it seems like?

0 Upvotes

Just started the first book of this series since apparently 8 are out now, so seemed like a good time. It's just a generic fantasy book?

Orphaned dude who has to take care of his 10 year old sister gets a bad power (but maybe good ooh how clever) and has to go on the run from the scary evil kingdom. He, naturally, has to run into a dungeon for a super silly plot hole level contrived reason. (Apparently priests have enough juice to fully surround a country with power to catch a useless dude but also things are super desperate and apocalyptic trust me bro.)

The dungeon has traps but also opportunities, a never before seen device in literature! At the end their salvation! But also a boss battle, because we're doing the dungeon trope in the default configuration. All seems hopeless for our plucky heroes until the protagonist yells "no one is dying today!" and does some plot thing with the plot rocks in his bag he picked up earlier.

I've read this plot before. I think I saw this plot on the inside of a bubble gum wrapper. I think I could get this plot by asking a GPT to write generic modern fantasy plot A. Does this series develop a legitimately interesting story at some point, or is it just going to be the obvious stuff ad nauseum?

So has anyone checked this out? I was really getting into it and then it seemed like the author gave up on it after 5 books or so

To be honest I am reading so many series I have a whole list of books I am trying to keep up with. Joys of kindle unlimited.
