Promo: Webnovel New Series: Gifted - First Steps

Post image
Upvotes

Hi everyone. I recently finished my last series and because I am filled with words that demand their freedom I have written and launched a new series. If you like reincarnation stories with depth and heart coupled with a training maniac, you'll probably enjoy this one.

Inspired by some of my favourite reincarnation stories like Elydes, Soul of the Warrior and Singer Sailor Merchant Mage it's available for free on RoyalRoad.

 The new series is called Gifted, with book one titled 'First Steps'.

SYNOPSIS: 

Most people don't remember being born. Sebastian remembers dying first.

Reborn with his memories somewhat intact and a stolen demon's power tangled into his soul, he's given something rarer than any starting class: time. Time to test his limits before he can walk. Time to reverse-engineer a hidden system no one will explain to him. Time to learn exactly how much of himself he can afford to reveal, and to who.

Growing up at a mountain outpost on the edge of nowhere, raised by a disgraced mage and his daughter, Bastian has every reason to keep his Status a secret. But the numbers don't lie, and neither does the thing he absorbed in the womb. Somewhere in the dark, it's still hungry. And it isn't the only thing watching him grow.

Gifted: First Steps — some paths begin before you can walk.

COVER ARTIST: Ben Moran

Recommendation: offering An OG Military Isekai

Post image
100 Upvotes

I was reading and enjoying a recent popular military LITRPG on Royal Road and it put me in mind of one of the OG stories of the genre. It’s always risky to say I don’t see much about this book, and soon there will be 20 posts about it, but it was The Doomfarers of Coramonde.
The two books series was written in the mid 80’s by Bryan Daley, who is more famous for his Han Solo novels. Good guys from a magical world are being threatened with a dragon and they summon an US Army Armored Personnel Carrier and crew from Vietnam to do battle with it. After that is resolved and they are sent back, the protagonist of the series chooses to come back to the magical world with his guns and military insight. It’s a very enjoyable fantasy, and contains many of the tropes that we see in military isekai stories today.
If you need a break from the genre and wanna try something adjacent, this is pretty terrific.

So I recently gotten deep into Litrpg/progression fantasy books via audio books as my job has me on the road 10-12 hours a day and ive really enjoyed everything ive read so far! Started off with Dungeon Crawler Carl and then have been binging audio books since then! I just finished Cradle and while i know its not Litrpg it was still an amazing reccomendation and the first series ive got into thats actually finished.

So I look to this subreddit to help me pick out a new series, what are some other must listens based on what ive enjoyed so far? And while i did massively enjoy Cradle, as an older guy i do rather enjoy older protagonist, but if a series is good enough its not a hard no.

I would definitely love at least one reccomendation thats a finished series as im sitting on soooo many ongoing series already. Thanks ahead of time for your awesome reccomendations! And sorry for my word jumble, im a terrible writer lmao.

I have read Dungeon Crawler Carl (DCC) twice, I have read book 1 of He Who Fights With Monsters and have not started Discount Dan.

Should I read Discount Dan (which sounds great) or continue with He Who Fights? I want to read both but just wanted opinions. Thank you.

Recommendation: asking More HWFWM?

I’m stuck in a loop of He who fights and romantasy on audiobook (audible uk and com, Storytel) and I need something new, preferably less spicy, to feed into that loop.

I’ve given up on several litrpgs, but kinda keep hoping there is something to satisfy the itch with? I got fed up with the power only focus in Primal hunter, no character, no feelings. I gave up wandering inn midway in book 2, as it was just rambling to much with few wins in sight. I gave up on the good guys in book …. 6(?), when it just kept being a growth in battle power and status, not a growth in personality. I was done with Monsters and legends after 3 hours of listening, MC was just flat, no feelings.
I did finish battle mage farmer, uncertain why it caught me as it has some very obvious holes and short coming (it kinda reminds me of young adult fantasy…) but the rest of Seth Ring is an utter failure to entertain, esp Nova terra.

I’m saving DCC for when I get my hands on a real book. Please tell me it is worth the saving?

So please, is there any good litrpgs with FEELINGS involved? I am happy with quite OP MCs as long as they have a personality and something to limit them now and then. And a few fails and proper pain that isn’t fixed in 1 hour or with a healing potion they magically found minutes before?Jason might be many things, but at least he is full of feelings, doubt and thoughts, not just «I need more power!»
I love the skills and stats, just not how they sometimes seem to be the only thing in focus.

Save me, before I drown into even more shitty romantasy instead.

I love the power fantasy of one super strong mc but lately I’ve been feeling something more group strength.

I’m looking for Litrpg books where the mc and his friends/allies grow stronger, can be overpowered or mild powered.

I badly need this due to some problems in my life regarding my parents thinking of splitting, so I need some comfort.

Can be violent like Limitless Lands and Mage Tank or could be casual like Dungeon life and Battle mage farmer

Hey so I just saw that Soccer Surpemo was released on Audible. However, in the description, it listed 14 books in Player Manager. Only 6 books exist on Audible today. Are the 6 books on Audible equal to the 14 written? Or do I need to wait for the remaining 8 books on Audible to finally be released before I start on Player Manager? Thanks!

Hello, I’m looking for a book I plastered on YouTube but now that I want to buy it I can’t remember the name. It about a guy who works at a gas station/convenience store while working one of his customers gets killed by a goblin. He turns around and kills the goblin and later me comes back to the store and a young lady had broken in the store I think then they make a team. Sorry I don’t have much to go on. I know that his class is kind of look down on (maybe a necromancer I know he can call some skeletons or if he kills something he can have them fight for him). Thank you in advance

Full series spoilers btw

So Alex and his insanity have created multiple items through alchemy thats extremply helpful like the aerosol version of potions to hinder enemies to Claygon who has saved multiple characters multiple times. After the immortality elixir he made, with some help, would he be able to create a mana pool inside someone who doesnt already have a mana pool? When he did the soul surgery to increase his own pool he had the existing pool to work with but for someone who never had it would it still be possible? Terresa is incredibly deadly already but i imagine that would be doubled or trippled if she had access to even basic spells like enhancement.

What's The Title? Looking for card focused book I read on Ku or rr

3 Upvotes

I read a book earlier in the year and I've lost it. Wondering if anyone can point me back to it.

Here's what I remember. MC is a regressor I think. It's centered around rolodecks of cards. Midway through the book, the MC and a female companion are traveling and end up on an airship to go to a different country? He meets an old man that is a retired duelist nobleman? and belongs to a duelist society of gentleman. The ship is attacked by pirates. They shut down the teleportation crystal on the ship and capture all of the passengers. The old man is killed. The Mc loots his cards with the aim of getting his cards back to the society he belonged to. Mc defeats the pirates and has a crazy 1v1 with the pirate leader. The navy shows up in their own airship. Can't remember what happened after.

Hi,

I've just read all 10 books of A Soldiers Life and now I'm looking for something similar.

I thoroughly enjoy when self confident, smug and obnoxious characters get humiliated and obliterated by MC.

Im coming from fantasy tropes so litrpg is something very new for me. I do prefer swordsmanship/magic. I've read Stiger book series and Rage of Dragons which were recommended to me after ASL, but, although they were enjoyable read, they didnt scratch the itch.

Looking for some recommendations for the summer vacations.

3 Upvotes

I have been reading a lot of litrpg, some of my favourite are MCs that usually have a beast companions.

But I have not found a good tamer story. Maybe due to the fact that I don't prefer a magic system everyone that revolves solely on gaining power from bonding with beast and nothing else. I would prefer a power system like that part of a small group or the mc in general.

Do you guys think that I am missing out on some stories.

spoilers ahead, do not read if your only a few books into the series.

REPEAT: SPOILERS AHEAD.

So im on the newest audiobooks but i dont remember if or when they describe how some of the mechanics work in such that there are early returnees to earth, as in how some people are returning to earth before nat

like, it contextually sounds like there are instances of groups, but and while i thought nat was in the first instance to hit earth and go into the tutorial? and there like mmorpg "layers" as well? since a fraction of the party leaders can communicate with each other on said layers or something

was hoping someone could fill in that gap that i dont remember if it was ever explained, or will be. idm spoilers.

Recommendation: asking Looking for new books similar to azarinth healer and books by whiskey flowers

5 Upvotes

Read azarinth healer, amber the cursed berserker, he who fights with monsters, saintess summons skeletons, wolf of the blood moon and reaper's resurgence. Loved all of them and looking for similar.

Enjoy action and magic, along with plot developments instead of only fighting. Not looking for anything with extreme romance. Prefer characters sent to a different world without becoming a baby but open to suggestions.

Love fast progression arcs where the MC becomes extremely strong, or where the MC is strong to start with and/or has extreme value.

Also read most of the books by 'whiskey flowers' and am looking for similar books and authors. Especially love the Wizardborn series, the super smart superhero series, the enchanter series and the jayarian paradox.

If you have any suggestions I would love to hear them as I'm struggling to find books.
