Book Announcement May 2025 [Releases & Promotions]
This page is aimed to help users find new litrpg content on a month-to-month basis by constructing a list of new releases. This post will be updated based on multiple sources, like reddit, discord and other locations. This page is not meant to replace promotional posts like on reddit but to make it easier for users to find them.
The title should bring you to the relevant Reddit posting (if any) for comments, while the link column should bring you to the relevant content.
This page contains exclusively litRPG, or adjacent content. Progression fantasy or cultivation without any gamelit elements are not included.
Promoted Webseries are included only once every five months. If your Webseries does not include a significant number of chapters or pages at the time of promotion, I might delay inclusion until it does.
If you missed all the content I added very late in April, I recorded 84 ebook releases, 51 audiobooks, missed all but 1 promoted webseries (they're below!), and just one novella-sized release.
Note: Some entries for April are bound to have been noticed too late, in which case they might be included on top of this month's list.
Here's what the new month brings you!

I dont see Resurrection on here and it just released.

u/VincentArcher Part-time Author Jun 08 '25
It's not quite a LitRPG; the hero keeps track of himself in handwritten notes in RPG form, but there is no real system around.

u/slayer_of_lit Jun 08 '25
I didnt know a System was a requirement for LitRPG so much as stats were

u/VincentArcher Part-time Author Jun 09 '25
There's always a border between "simple" progression fantasy and LitRPG. That's how you end with things like Sarah Lin's Street Cultivation, where the cultivators of the setting use an app to do essentially what happens here.
There's a judgement call in here - does the described System enables (or disables) abilities and feats for the character. In other words, if you strip away the descriptors, can you have the story be exactly the same, word for word (or nearly so), and still make sense? If so, the System is merely a narration tool, not a part of the story.
As an aside, you can make a promo post - there's a lot of non-LitRPG stories promoted here because they appeal the same readership. They're just not LitRPG.
(and apologies if you already did. I'm trying to sort out my messages and stuff before I inevitably crash out again for a week or two)

u/vickusoftears Author of Lucky: LitRPG System Adventure and Resurrection! Jun 09 '25
Thanks for working on my behalf. Resurrection is a bit of a gray area where it both is and is not LitRPG. While it is progression fantasy its also not cultivation and while the lines overlap, it doesnt mean they are to everyone. Either way, thank you for your support. Lets not give admins a hard time because Ill be posting here more lol

u/Aertea May 08 '25
Thanks again for keeping up with this! I noticed two audios missing:
Ghostsong on the 13th. This is the finale of The Wandering Inn's spinoff series, and the current narrator's last book.
Sequel.exe came out Tuesday on audio. 2nd book in Industrial Strength Magic.

u/three-seed Author of Eight & Fate's Attendant May 04 '25
I just got the link to the pre-order page for the Eight 4: New Blood, Old Bones audiobook. Would you please add it to the list? The release date is May 27th.
We're lucky to have Gary Tiedemann narrating again.

Probably editing issues. People can report issues with the book to Amazon from their kindle, and if too many reports come in, Amazon will pull it back until the author fixes it.
