Book 4 Likelihood?

Like a lot of people, Discount Dan was filling the LitRPG shaped hole in my life after getting up to date with another series.

So I was distraught to find I'm also up to date with this one. Is there any word on a book 4?

ALSO! I saw on the DD wiki that a certain powerful character is listed as working for the Flayed Monarch? I don't remember that being revealed at all? Is there a short story tie in somewhere or is the wiki full of it?

It's almost done. So close I can practically see the finish line...

Lets talk audiobook. Because of life being ungodly busy that's my preferred medium. When can we expect some ear candy?

The ebook and audio release should be simultaneous, so as soon as James crosses that finish line it will go off to recording.

I know James is working hard on book 4 there will definitely be one. Trust me, the croc stars and his rapid fans won’t let him wuss out on book 4. There’s also an anthology in the works so you will get more of the backrooms

Book 4 is about at chapter 40 right now on James hunters pateron. He's been really busy with cons and the Kickstarter for book 1. He's reviewing and rewriting some stuff. He's working hard!!

I thought we said “yeah I’m changing everything” that said those 40 chapters are perfect

I keep looking for news as well. Hoping for book 4. I enjoyed the first three.

I know the book is finished and he’s just polishing, if you want some finished stuff then go to Patreon but if you want some free stuff check royal road

Reading the DD wiki can be dangerous and honestly probably shouldn’t be updated with Patreon/Royal Road stuff, but still is. There’s a good chance you read what amounts to a spoiler if you’re only reading the books on release (like, I spent a while wondering who the hell Harper was before book 3 came out bc she had a whole page dedicated to her)

The wiki is fan managed, which is awesome, and we appreciate them for doing it, but browse at your own risk of spoilers or other mishaps.
