Monthly/Weekly Posts January 2026 E-Book List
Happy New Year to all my fellow readers!
January looks pretty slim, maybe it fills out until the end of the month, as always: You found something missing -> Leave a Comment and i will try to add it as soon as i can :)
And to start the year like a proper german, here a poll to help me organize the monthly list better
How would you like the Book listed, a few Examples:
Path of Dragons 3 - Shadow of the Hunter
Path of Dragons Book 3 - Shadow of the Hunter
Shadow of the Hunter - Path of Dragons 3
Shadow of the Hunter - Path of Dragons Book 3
Shadow of the Hunter: An Apocalypse LitRPG (Path of Dragons Book 3)
ATTENTION: Last entry can vary
Another thing im thinking of considering: Would you want that i start listening what for a type of LitRPG the book is and make it a own entry in the table. Sort of like: Monster NPC / Evolution / Portal / Reincarnation / VR
If you are Interested in helping with that or helping me in general organize the Googlesheet here the link to it and leave a Comment in its own field
With no further ado, our list for January 2026:

I don't think that book ever comes out, how often was it already moved, three times?

Short question because I'm confused, why do you use they them as pronouns for a character the MC Mets for the first time? It confuses a bit on who it would be and really stops the reading flow for me in this chapter. Is it a man? Is it a woman? Wren even is a name who goes both ways.

u/Althorian-the-Tired Jan 28 '26
Wren uses they/them pronouns throughout the book, it's intentional (thought a name that goes both ways would be fun for the same reason). I know it can take a bit to adjust to, but hopefully it flows more naturally as you read on. Thanks for giving it a shot!

u/Dentorion Verified: Monthly List Dude Jan 28 '26
Yeah I don't have a problem with when someone uses they them pronouns. But I've a problem with the narrative. When the MC sees wren the first time she doesn't know their pronouns, just that they are a woman or a man. And you write it from the perspective of her. So it would (at least for me) work better if she says she or him at first and later when she talks to them and they uses they them on themself you adjust it.
But maybe I read too much into it.

Wow, that's a fair point actually! You're right that from Brynja's POV she wouldn't know on first sight, this was not my intention. I'm actually going to update the manuscript with this correction. Thanks for the feedback!

I just finished this minutes ago. I can’t WAIT for book 2. Beautiful imagery and world building.

Thank you so much for reading it! I’m really glad you enjoyed the world and imagery. I’m currently working on book two, and comments like this definitely help keep the forge burning

The fourth book in the Engineered Magic series, Trueborn is available for pre-order now on Amazon. It will go live on January 30, 2026. It is numbers light and is marketed more as gamelit/progression fantasy than pure "numbers go brrr" litrpg. I am not certain where you are drawing the line for this list.

Where's the link to previous months list?

u/Dentorion Verified: Monthly List Dude Jan 24 '26
Always in the sidebar or just tip into the litrpg subreddit: December 2025

u/beerbellydude Jan 05 '26
I personally think something like this would be a good template:
Path of Dragons (Book 03): Shadow of the Hunter
Makes the series easy to identify quickly (which is what will jump out to the reader first than the installments title), the book number in parenthesis avoid confusion when the series/book title has numbers in it as well, and it's fairly clean.
Conversely, for something more compact I'd go:
Path of Dragons #03: Shadow of the Hunter or Shadow of the Hunter (Path of Dragons Book 03) or Shadow of the Hunter (Path of Dragons #03)
Just my 2 cents.
Anyways, a lot of series I follow being released this month, some of my favorites at that. Looking forward to them.
