Gamelit - Apparently there are many niches within this niche. Harem - A LitRPG staple where the plot is mostly about the MC porking loads of chicks. Punctuation - A convention of literature largely ignored by these authors. Basically means how much you can hurt your opponent. (So I don’t have to type the same thing 900 times.)ĭPS - Damage Per Second.

Look, it's just FUN and these days when I think about my unfinished books I think about rewriting them in the LitRPG style.įor your convenience the rest of this will be my reviews of various LitRPG books and audiobooks.īuy It links take you to Amazon so you can just plop them straight onto your Kindle. Well part of me wishes I were single to go and try it. The books are far from high literature - if I was flirting with a writer from the New Yorker, trying to bond with her over our mutual admiration for Tana French, and then I accidentally started enthusing about this LitRPG thing. ‘Watching’ a character solve problems, get more experience, spend his experience points on new abilities - it should be awful and it is awful, but on the other hand it’s awesome. Why do people play Candy Crush or World of Warcraft? Because when you get to the next level you get a little hit of dopamine. If the sequel is out I buy it immediately. When I find a decent story I tear through it like a level 8 axe through level 2 chainmail. Just unbridled enthusiasm.īecause I’m addicted.

It’s all self-published, so there’s no editor, no quality control.
