I’m Ramon Mejia. I’m here to bring you the latest LitRPG news, reviews, and author interviews. I have 9 new LitRPG reviews just for you. New Releases and Reviews: Dungeon Desolation (Divine Dungeon book 4) (06:14) The story is filled with punny humor, adventure, cultivation, and some pretty awesome battles. Score: 7.8 out of 10 https://amzn.to/2IAKh6x Dark Elf Chronicles Book Two: Survivors (10:06) There are lots of new characters in both the IRL and game storyline, lots of adventures, and even a bit of sadness. Score: 7.5 out of 10 https://amzn.to/2Pt8K3y Beginnings (Peaks of Power Book 1) (13:17) Overall, while there were some marked improvements made to the story from early drafts, it still has pacing and storytelling problems. Score: 6 out of 10 https://amzn.to/2NyRREt Monster Core (28:37) Overall, the story has good action and dungeon creation. Score: 7.2 out of 10 https://amzn.to/2Rm9cOt Warlock: Reign of Blood: A LitRPG Novel (33:14) Overall, it is a pretty decent action adventure story with some good storytelling. Score: 7.4 out of 10 https://amzn.to/2CE3bs3 ZOMBIE SLAYER!!: A LitRPG Apocalypse (36:44) It’s basically more of an XP grind than a proper tense zombie apocalypse story. Score: 5 out of 10 https://amzn.to/2yvZFNO Necromancer System: A Dark Fantasy LitRPG (Book 1) (39:00) Dark and brutal story, but it was the rape scenes that made me dislike it. Score: 4 out of 10 https://amzn.to/2CFf1T1 BASE Status: Online: An Unlikely Hero's LitRPG Journey (44:42) As a cyber thriller, this isn’t bad. As LitRPG, it’s not good since the RPG game stuff doesn’t matter to the story. Score: 4 out of 10 https://amzn.to/2xHs1DB Murderworld: A LITRPG Novel (50:50) There is a cyberpunk competitive fighting game in the story but there are absolutely no RPG mechanics anywhere. Score: 4 out of 10 https://amzn.to/2qnuTSO LitRPG News This week Blaise Corvin shared some cover art for his super secret collaborative project he’s been working on with William D. Arand. No details on what the project is about, but Blaise did write that it will be launched early December. https://www.facebook.com/groups/LitRPGsociety/permalink/1873858019379117/?__tn__=-UC-R Kevin McLaughlin, author of the LitRPG series Valhalla Online and over 40 other novels, was interviewed about his book on writing called on “You Must Write”.
