Time for an #introduction .

I am an #author of five books under another name. 1 zombie apocolypse, a female led #fantasy trilogy, and an experimental #litrpg. I learned from each experience, and I come to you now as J.R Warden.

My personal goal is to launch a huge #grimdark fantasy with this pen name. Swords and spells, mad kings and ancient evils. I know what I want, and I know how to do it. Just need time.

I came to #mastodon to protect my data and meet new people. Tell me about yourself.

"Sporemageddon" is my new favorite fantasy series.

What is it about, you ask?

Imagine a steampunk megacity full of destitute poverty and smog (and magic), where a mycologist is reborn into said poverty, and stepwise gets radicalized into becoming a (mostly) solo eco-terrorist, who as a preteen grows and sells mushrooms by the day, while her spare time is spent going on a holy crusade against the police and capitalism.

Look, I love #LitRPG as much as the next person with no discerning taste in literature, but the "poor young man gets transported and must grow strong by himself while becoming more ruthless and lives don't matter" trope really needs to fuck right off into the sunset.

At least put a real twist on it.

And by twist, I don't fucking mean "harem" (with the emotional maturity of an almost-incel, often).

In case anyone was wondering what I've been doing the past few months, well, I tried the litrpg genre for the first time back in January. Then poof, 3 months had past. Here are some tips if anyone's interested, with highlights curated for fedi:

Wolf of the Blood Moon by Shane Purdy
Wolfgirl. Only first book in audio, more on the way. MC seems aro/ace, possibly autistic?
Fallen Lands by C Peinhopf
Foxgirl/kitsune. MC is a teenager, very little romance, no sexy stuff.
Talyn's Saga by Benjamin Medrano
Succubus. Poly-lesbian. Mostly off-screen or fade-to-black sexy stuff, despite being kinda horny.
Beneath the Dragoneye Moons by Selkie Myth
Healer who made an unbreakable oath to "do no harm" essentially when she was 8, in a very violent world (with dinosaurs!) I think she's revealed to be gay in later books. (She's like 8-15 in the first couple of books.)

Ich lese seit Michael Atamanovs „Kräutersammler der Finsternis“ dieses Genre. War meine erste Reihe und eine der ersten auf deutsch. Hat mich sofort gepackt. Ich kann quasi zocken ohne zu zocken.
Mein eigener Roman wird im gleichen Genre spielen.
Fantasy ist der Schwerpunkt, allerdings wird es auch Scifi-Elemente geben.
Wer Lust hat, sich das näher anzuschauen: Eine Miniserie aus dem Universum meines Romans läuft auf #Patreon

I am a RPG gamer and SciFi and fantasy reader. Recently a friend introduced me to LitRPG, a genre that combines the conventions of computer RPGs with science-fiction and fantasy novels.

I started reading "Dungeon Crawler Carl" and I have to admit, I am totally flashed.

Are there any LitRPG books you would recommend?

QSFer Kia Leep has a new queer LitRPG Isekai fantasy (gay, lesbian, non-binary) out, book one of the NPSessds SAGA: Glass Kanin.

As a rising actor, Kanin’s body is his career. His identity. His life. All that is taken from him when he dies and is reborn as a bottle of ink.

Now living as the heart of a magical glass servant, Kanin’s new purpose is to perform a ..

I've finished my first book of 2025 and it was awesome!
Dungeon Crawler Carl is also the first "LitRPG" book I've ever read, and I have a strong feeling I'll become OBSESSED with this genre. The remainder of this series is firmly in my TBR, and I've added "He Who Fights With Monsters" and "Life In The North" too.

I'll have some more thoughts on this after I'm sufficiently caffeinated.

If you're reading this, please #boost so I can get back to being federated with the #fediverse. Unfortunately, the data center I've been hosting with for years and years encountered some serious issues. I had to move suddenly, losing almost everything. I took the chance to change the software I use. But I've still lost all of my followers, all of my federation, etc! It's also taken down rblind.com, my passion project to get more #blind folks off #reddit. I'll be bringing that back over the coming days. In the meantime, hi! I'm a blind guy who uses the #NVDA #screenreader, loves #accessibility and works in the field, and reads tons of #fanfic, #litrpg, and #sciencefiction and #fantasy in my spare time. Nice to meet you!

I've Finished: The first book of the Chrysalis 3 book bundle by RinoZ

The Antventure Begins

I don't usually read books based on progression games.

I found Chrysalis repetitive but entertaining.

It was recommended by @futurebird, an Ant enthusiast that assured me the Ant facts in it are correct.

I guess it is based on a single player type game so no party with multiple characters. Antony does gain a pet monster, but mistreats it quite a bit.

He also often declares that the colony is above all, but acts selfishly to advance his own stills.

There is allot of combat action with thought given to melee tactics, but not much thought to what type of skill or attack is more effective against a particular monster. There are time that it is clear that magical attacks are more effective as Antony continues to try and power bite through almost impenetrable hide.

I did enjoy it as a popcorn read.

Note that the book ends in the middle of a major event, so getting the 3 book bundle may be a good idea.
