Because even I thought... gah, that is a looooong chapter.</p><p>I've gotten better about not stretching chapters too far, I think.</p><p><a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/WritingCommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WritingCommunity</span></a> <br><a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/LitRPG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LitRPG</span></a></p>

Lars Marowsky-Brée 😷<p>Look, I love <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/LitRPG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LitRPG</span></a> as much as the next person with no discerning taste in literature, but the "poor young man gets transported and must grow strong by himself while becoming more ruthless and lives don't matter" trope really needs to fuck right off into the sunset.</p><p>At least put a real twist on it.</p><p>And by twist, I don't fucking mean "harem" (with the emotional maturity of an almost-incel, often).</p>
Sean Randall<p>I enjoy trying new books and the <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/Litrpg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Litrpg</span></a> genre regularly sucks me in.</p><p>But can I really take a book seriously if it's written by someone going by the nom de plume Kamikaze Potato?</p>
vae<p>In case anyone was wondering what I've been doing the past few months, well, I tried the litrpg genre for the first time back in January. Then <i>poof</i>, 3 months had past. Here are some tips if anyone's interested, with highlights curated for fedi:</p><blockquote>Wolf of the Blood Moon by Shane Purdy<blockquote>Wolfgirl. Only first book in audio, more on the way. MC seems aro/ace, possibly autistic?</blockquote>Fallen Lands by C Peinhopf<blockquote>Foxgirl/kitsune. MC is a teenager, very little romance, no sexy stuff.</blockquote>Talyn's Saga by Benjamin Medrano<blockquote>Succubus. Poly-lesbian. Mostly off-screen or fade-to-black sexy stuff, despite being kinda horny.</blockquote>Beneath the Dragoneye Moons by Selkie Myth<blockquote>Healer who made an unbreakable oath to "do no harm" essentially when she was 8, in a very violent world (with dinosaurs!) I think she's revealed to be gay in later books. (She's like 8-15 in the first couple of books.)</blockquote></blockquote><a href="https://theshark-smellslike.sparklef.art/tags/litrpg" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#litrpg</a> <a href="https://theshark-smellslike.sparklef.art/tags/books" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#books</a><p></p>

Seasons of Jason 🎒<p>I've finished my first book of 2025 and it was awesome! <br>Dungeon Crawler Carl is also the first "LitRPG" book I've ever read, and I have a strong feeling I'll become OBSESSED with this genre. The remainder of this series is firmly in my TBR, and I've added "He Who Fights With Monsters" and "Life In The North" too. </p><p>I'll have some more thoughts on this after I'm sufficiently caffeinated. <br><a href="https://layer8.space/tags/Books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Books</span></a> <a href="https://layer8.space/tags/litrpg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>litrpg</span></a></p>
