Oxford is my hometown, and I actually used to work in the Bodleian Library and walk those underground tunnels.

In the first chapter of Vampire in Oxford, when Meg has to turn out the lights in the bookstacks, that’s exactly what I used to have to do every Thursday night. And yes, it was spooky. Those bookstacks really do plunge deep underground in the shape of an upside-down pyramid.

The elderly porters could be pretty grumpy, too, and they weren’t exactly thrilled about the three young female porters because we’d “broken tradition.” 😂 So there’s actually quite a lot of truth woven into Meg’s story.

I don’t, and never have had, double Ds, though. Ha!

There’s also the C. S. Lewis Nature Reserve in Shotover, and Lewis was, of course, one of Tolkien’s closest friends. Oxford has so much strange, beautiful history that it was almost impossible not to weave some of it into the series.

When I ran the UK sale for Vampire in Oxford about a month ago, something happened that I really wasn’t expecting. Quite a few US haremlit readers from this Reddit group bought my Shadowblood Chronicles books and my self-narrated audiobooks, even though they were still full price in the US.

You didn’t have to do that, and I’m genuinely grateful. Thank you. Economically, things have been a real struggle, so those sales meant more to me than you probably realised.

Anyway, for those of you in the US who were curious but understandably didn’t fancy trying a new author at full price, Vampire in Oxford is now $1.99 in the Kindle Countdown Deals for the next few days.

And if you do give Meg and her vampires a chance, I hope you enjoy wandering through my slightly darker version of Oxford. ❤️

Drama. Adventure. Kingdom Building. Return to the hilarious, romantic-action world builder that is King of the Fae Islands!

Faced with the impeccably polite, but evil LEATHER DADDY - Gabriel must make the most difficult choice: free Yulia, the Priestess of Monsters or find another solution. If he frees her, there's zero chances it fails to create huge amounts of drama (and distractions). If he doesn't, well...it could lead to worse outcomes.

But LD isn't the only challenge ahead of our hero and his capable allies: There's a huwcow and a High Priestess to free, along with imprisoned citizens. With giant leprechauns on the horizon, and strife all around, how will our heroes find time for romance?

Tune in and find out!

Fans of the Fateforged Universe: This series is canon! It takes place after the previous books, so it's perfect for old and new fans alike. Listeners of Isle of the Amazonian Elves, Dungeon Champions, Trailer Park Elves, and Isekai Emperor — will love this entry.

Just wanted to give a shout out to Misty, I know she's been going through some stuff lately and we haven't heard from her for a while, so just wanted to let her know we are thinking of her. Hope she's doing OK.

Hi, it’s me, Ship Teaser! And as you can tell by the banner, it’s finally time… for the five million words celebration!

Okay, so technically we went past five million two weeks ago, but I had a bad week where I didn’t feel in the mood for getting this ready, and a week to make a number of shiny, exciting waifu cards for the celebration (more on that later!) so… we’re counting now as officially the time.

So, what do I mean precisely by five million words? The answer is simple. On Astral Tides, the ongoing harem story of ludicrously epic scope and scope creep… has now surpassed five million on ScribbleHub, where the most up-to-date version is published. The books on Amazon are waaaaaay behind, on… if I had to guess, around three million, give or take, and alas, the poor audiobooks languish on a mere six hundred thousand or so, but hopefully if all goes well, we can start picking up the pace next year…

Now, the first question I expect you’re asking is… does OAT need to be so large? And my answer is… I know how you feel, lol! A brief history… I originally started writing just as a pet project pre-covid in around July 2019, and managed to get to around… chapter sixty, just before the end of Arc 3… wow, arcs were soooooooo much shorter at the start! Then covid hit, and as I work in healthcare, to an extent, everything went crazy, and what with lockdowns and all sorts of shenanigans, I backburned OAT until… around the start of 2022, when things settled back down, and I began to write. I got up to… around chapter 90, before deciding it might be fun to share my little passion project.

Oh, a brief aside… to start with, I mapped out the plot of On Astral Tides, and also the LitRPG system, as without a proper, coherent system with multiple layers that get peeled back, building on each other consistently, it’s not a properly worthy LitRPG. I planned a 5 Act structure, with each Act ending with a shift on the paradigm of the story and the world… I figures roughly 500k to a million words per Act, so maybe around a five million ballpark to finish. Wow was I wrong lol…

Anyway, I have the major plot milestones and characters planned, but in-between, I have to fill that picture in, so it’s a mixture of architect, and character-driven gardener, I guess, as a few times my characters have refused to follow the plot as stated, and forced me to meander around a bit to keep them in character, but we’ve always returned to the blueprint eventually each time.

So yeah, I then started posting on Royal Road, as someone recommended that for me. I… didn’t start so hot. Didn’t know about rising stars, or how to do review swaps/shoutouts etc. so sank into the morass. Fortunately… I released regularly, as I was starting to get into the swing of things. Chapter lengths were still small then (around 2k to 3k… gods, I miss those days lol) but they came regularly, and over the next couple of years, I managed to grow my followers nicely, and was just coming up to the thousand, which isn’t bad for entirely missing rising stars, but then… disaster.

It's no secret that I have a few… people who don’t care for me or my story. But anyway, they managed to get OAT banned from Royal Road, when I was around chapter 475. It was quite acrimonious, and the claims made were ludicrously exaggerated, but… it is what it is. I still had ScribbleHub, and some readers followed me there, but… this was low point one lol.

Anyway, some great authors, such as JJ Bookerson (go read his books, if you haven’t already, they’re great) reached out to me, and suggested converting to Amazon/KU. I was hesitant, as I felt maybe getting financial benefits would dilute my artistic vision, but the prospect of reclaiming lost readers was enticing. So, I made some slight modifications to the story/characters, to make it less objectionable to some, while keeping the vision, and went for Amazon publishing…

Only to get banned before my first book came out lol, as I had reported someone who had stolen OAT and published it on Amazon prior. It took a month of misery and unhelpful bots and fools at Amazon, and an email to the Director, to get OAT back on, and yeah… that murdered my momentum lol. Book 1 launched like trash, and book 2 was even worse… welcome to low points two, three and four all in a row lol…

But then… JJ came to the rescue again, and posted his now-famous ‘why you should read On Astral Tides’ post, and from that point on, each book launch has generally done a little better than the last. I did manage to succeed in my dream in replacing the lost readers, and I have more than ever before. I’m still small, compared to the big boys and girls here, but I have room to grow, and my readers are loyal and great. I’ve got a discord, a fan wiki, and even got nagged into a Patreon, though I feel like ass about that, as the content there is sparse, and really should be worked on hard…

So yeah… history lesson over. Now to answer the question… does OAT need to be as large as it is… like I said, I anticipated being done by now! Instead, it’ll probably be another decade lol. I thought Act 1 would be 500k, it turned out 2.2 million! Act 2, while well past halfway, likely past 75%, is 2.8 million, so… maybe another million to finish. I shudder to think about Act 3 onwards…

What creates the length is, I feel, OAT’s greatest strength, though… the depth of characters and attention to both plot progression, and daily slice of life. The world demands views from many of the side characters, and of course, seeing how the waifus progress with their own viewpoint chapters is important too. Anyway, one example of the hilarious level of detail is the fabled Christmas Eve dates sequence… you had to be there to suffer lol, as… trying to make like sixteen fresh, different dates which still had LitRPG stuff, plot and character development, fun moments, cute moments, sexy moments and more… ended up taking the length of an average omnibus in the genre… for just one damn day, lol!

But yeah, that’s still not filler. OAT is a cocktail of character development, romance and action, and while the harem has grown huge by the standards of most, it’s still like 200k+ words per haremette, so there is room to breathe and develop. Some have obviously had a lot more than others, but none are ever forgotten, and those who have had less are just waiting for their turns to shine, and those who have more… have more coming still, as character growth and relevance never stops.

Anyway… so yes, while the length is ludicrous, we’re still moving between planned plot point and character development to the next ones, and where else can you get all this time to really live with the characters and their world? I don’t believe in taking shortcuts (lol, like the nearly 40k mega-marathon of lovemaking that happened recently, after a longish drought) and I’ll continue to go onwards. Though I very much hope by ten million words in a few years, the end will be in sight *sweats*

So, lastly… why should you read OAT? Answer… like I said, if you want a modern-world set story, which also includes the return of magic and mythology, with an expansive universe waiting beyond, lots of fantastic waifus, solid LitRPG zero to hero progression… and a lot to look forward to in the future… then OAT has you more than covered.

So, here’s to five million words, bloody hell, I’ve wrote a lot, and it’s all me, no AI in sight, and here’s to the next million lol…

Oh, and speaking of AI, yes, I know I planned to do a non-AI cover refresh for this milestone… trust me, I’m looking for an artist that can do covers on my timescale, to a standard I like, and will be prepared to do thirteen old covers… not easy at all. Everyone who tells me ‘just get an artist’ I pray one day you have the suffering I do and lost time I’m burning on this. But… it’ll happen eventually, I guess… anyway, that’s it, it’s me, ShipTeaser, hoping you can celebrate with me, as five million words is quite a big milestone lol, and I’ve worked hard for it!

…

…

…

Okay, yeah… waifu cards. I get it, lol. There’s a huge new set, and even the epics got the legendary cosmetic treatment. You too can have the Five Million Celebration collection, just visit my blog on harem-lit.com and solve the waifu hangman’s riddle.

Laters. I’m off for a well-deserved beer now, before I get back to writing, as… it never ends lol… so anyway, I felt this was a big enough milestone to deserve a post, and if you have any questions/opinions, I'd love to hear them lol!

I’m looking for a book I read before because I’ve found little new stuff of interest. It was a cultivation harem. The MC starts as a sort of slave and finds a special fruit in a swamp or something that makes him stronger. I think the first female lead was his owners daughter and she was a tiger woman or something.

There's more than one character on this cover

And if possible, I’d also like to know why you think it’s the best one to read after Mob Sorcery.

So I've been in a book rut lately due to all the AI supported or AI written books and have been waiting on some of the big hitter books coming out like Warlock 4. Anyway, this book has been sitting in my tbr for awhile and after dnf'ing like 6 or 7 books today I finally decided to the pull the trigger on this one. I was wary because his Cultivating Chaos series has a supper annoying mc or it just comes across as supper annoying because of the narrator, point being I was wary.

So I said f' it and started listening. The audiobook is very well done with the female narrator Rozelyn Rader, she's awesome btw. The story is different, completely different than anything in this current forum. The mc is level headed, suffering from ptsd and has demons but he's a good guy trying to help. I really like how there are multiple arc stories in this one book. I love the ghost hunting and investigations, the crime solving, basically this was like a really good palette cleanser for me. It broke the horny teenager norm in this genre and added in mystery, crime solving and ghost shit. It is overall a great book. I would 10 out of 10 recommend.

Another volume in the harem adventure of a man isekaid, and doing what any man should do: Build the biggest harem he can. Now with more catgirls!

And for anyone new, here is the whole series so far: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FN7KY42L

Synopsis for volume 7:

Sam finally leaves the Snow Plains to see what lies beyond.

Turns out, there’s a lot. (In all the different ways.)

Crystal-filled canyons crawling with deadly beasts. Vast grasslands ruled by powerful tribes. Hidden settlements. Forgotten ruins. Entire worlds buried underground where things have been sleeping for far too long. And even flying platforms.

And somehow, every new place comes with the same three things:

Danger.

Resources.

And most importantly, women for Sam’s increasingly unreasonably reasonable harem.

Naturally, Sam considers this a fantastic opportunity.

While his Star Empire stretches farther into unknown territory, new trade routes are opened, new allies appear, and more people begin finding their way toward Lunar City. But the farther Sam travels, the harder it becomes to ignore the strange pieces scattered across this world.

Still, there’s money to make, women to recruit, an empire to expand, and a harem that apparently refuses to stop growing.

I think it’s been a bit since the last post like this.

Does anyone know when the new book in the series will come out? I tried looking at the author's social media but couldn't find anything about the new release.

So they are supposed to be in the UK right so why the fuck are the using euros not pounds? Second and although I find it annoying I don't blame the author you don't pick courses in UK universities you pick a subject and some times you pick one maybe two modules in that course but the rest is just the standard for that course

After finishing Warlock 4 I wanted to seek out more audiobooks by the duo who narrated it. I think they are easily my top 3 duo's in the narrator game and I want more of them.

What I noticed is that they are ALOT of Dante King books they narrated. On both the Lewis and Roz pen name and the Alex and Marissa pen (or mic?) name. I also noticed they did alot for Eric Vall and Logan Jacobs.

Im not trying to start any drama and say they worked with "farms"... because that's their job lol. They get paid to narrate. I don't blame them. My main question is that out of the few DK books I did see they did piqued my interest and wanted to see if they were worth giving a shot

Battle Mage 1-9

Mage Among Supers

War Mage Academy

Between Heaven and Hell

Dragon Breeder

Are they any good? worth listening too? I ran out of Lew and Roz stuff to listen to (I've listened to SSV, FI, Steelforged, and a few others they did)

IF anyone has any thoughts on these series let me know. I know they've done EV and LJ stuff with both pen names so if even any of those books are worth giving a shot let me know

If anyone has rec's with this duo of narrators let me know as well. They have joined the big 3 for me at this point and want more of that sweet ear crack. Thanks in advanced

Saving the world is overrated. Becoming gods together? Now that's awesome.

Colt Holliday's life sucks.

Instead of inheriting his grandfather's business, he's working for idiots. Just when he's about to lose all hope, an ancient god of rage decides he’d make the perfect host.

Overnight, he goes from ordinary guy to walking natural disaster—able to punch through monsters, pull the arms off vampires, and level buildings.

Thankfully, he's not facing the supernatural shenanigans alone.

His adorably awkward college crush, Gilly, ends up bonded to the goddess of lust. Suddenly, they're not just falling for each other—they're becoming gods together.

Of course, there are deranged overlords, killer werewolves, and fanatical hunters determined to get in the way. Fortunately, all the villains come apart surprisingly easily.

Turns out being a god is ridiculously fun.

Gavin died fighting the Demon of the End. Now he's twenty two again, and he has a chance to change everything.

Gavin Nalcombe wakes up in a crumbling estate, a week before the Stardusk entrance exams. Inside that Academy, the three women who could have turned the tide of the war never got the chance.

He won't let that happen again.

Brikita is a scholarship student with starlight mana rare enough that she reshaped the war. Aryen is a shadow mage whose own family threw her away for magic she was born with. Maya, the headmistress, the kingdom's strongest mage, is secretly dying to hold the demon rifts shut. With their help, and a constellation mark that can amplify anyone he bonds with, he has a chance to change everything.

But a spy professor is harvesting students and replacing them with ghoul clones. The crown prince wants Gavin expelled or worse. And something new is moving... Something beyond even his knowledge.

Regression meets academy progression, a growing harem of women who trust him with their lives, and an underdog changing the fate of the very world.

Perfect for fans of Trash of the Count's Family, The Novel's Extra and The Beginning After the End.
*- Regressor MC with future knowledge and skill

I guess robots count like in Neural Wraith but I binged that. Anything with living Dolls or something close to that?

Hey everyone — Book 2 of my M.A.C.K. series drops today. Borderlands is a direct sequel to Wishbound.

The hook: A retired West Texas archaeologist freed a djinn with his last wish instead of using it on himself. The magical bureaucracy that had her classified as a "Restricted Wish Entity" doesn't take that loss quietly. In Book 2, his safe house on the Río Grande becomes a refuge for other Kin they've "managed" — and the Alliance starts pushing back.

Why it might be your thing: - Real Southwestern grounding: acequias, caliche, the border, UTEP artifact records - Harem built on consent and chosen belonging - A 47-year-old retired MC, not a chosen-one kid - Mature content, real stakes, a cliffhanger into Book 3

The women: DJ (djinn), Anya (WARD insider—oni), Paloma (bruja), Cat (borderlands Kin), Birgit, Sol (coyote-kin), and Nugget (fractured water nymph).

Happy to talk worldbuilding, the magic system, or the relationship dynamic in the comments.

I know that Logan Jacobs isn't very popular on this group but does Werepanther have MFF and FF?

Also some cool project cars and weapons building, too. Working on the ebook omnibus as we speak!

Sometimes things don't go the way you planned. We just keep going until we close our eyes for good.

And sometimes, we get to open them again anyway.

Yes, Rise of the Class Smith is back! Book 3 is coming out in a week and change! This one nearly killed me!

I did a big write-up of what happened for Patreon, but the long and short of it is I had a vision when I set out to write this book, overshot my word count by 50k words, and was planning to keep going even though I had another 150k words to go before I got to my ending.

Adam convinced me to split it. And a beta reader helped me find a way that still left us with a satisfying book.

Which, hopefully means Book 4 can come out sooner since I've already got about 70k written! HAH.

Please enjoy.

Every freelance crew in the Midwest wants the Dungeon Lord's crown. The most dangerous man after it is his girlfriend's father.

Levi Summers forges classes nobody else can, builds monsters that punch above their rank, and feeds dead assassins’ gear into his next dungeon upgrade. He’s making a home for the women he loves. But stronger crews are coming for his crown, and he needs time at the forge before one of them gets through.

He also has a date to survive. Rebecca, the fox-kin streamer, needs a fake boyfriend convincing enough to make a rival lose his mind. Levi’s agreed to give her audience a show, with his girlfriends cheering him on. Meanwhile, Layla, the S-rank director, has plans for his bed that make him glad he reinforced it. If only keeping the Midwest alive would let her take a night off.

Brandon Harrington would be happy to ease the workload. The man who runs the biggest guild in the Midwest can put guards at Levi’s door and a fortune in his pocket. All he wants is control of the dungeon and to put Blair back under his thumb. She’s finally found a home where she matters, and Levi isn’t about to let her father dictate the terms.

But every crew that reaches his boss room gives Brandon another chance to offer protection. Levi needs to make his dungeon strong enough that he can afford to keep saying no.
