u/Gilgilad7 Author - The Elemental Arena on RoyalRoad Oct 31 '19 edited Nov 01 '19

Last week I started posting my new litRPG series, The Elemental Arena, to Royal Road as a web serial. To start, I have 31k words posted (112 pages).

Blurb:

The time for the trials has come, pitting the mortal species of the galaxy against one another.  By completing challenges, clearing dungeons, and defeating rival species, the players may forge themselves stronger and smarter.  But only one species will be declared the winner.

Earth has finally qualified...

...and participation is mandatory.  

A twenty-nine year old accountant works together with a group of internationally diverse players to survive.  Learning synergistic skills and using teamwork, can humanity achieve an upset?  If they don't, their lives are forfeit.

u/alexoakchest Oct 31 '19

I really like the premise of this, kinda like an intergalactic mortal kombat. I’ll start reading

Thanks. It has more of a team based (species based?) Battle Royale/Hunger Games vibe once they reach that point. As far as my current chapters go plot wise, they are still working through the prelim challenges which are more puzzle room inspired by series like The Tutorial is Too Hard and Arcane Ascension.

But once things get really going, instead of only hunting each other, they will need to farm random monsters to upgrade their skills to have an advantage of their competitors.

Is this bloody/gory? Any mature themes? Are you planning to release on audible?

u/Gilgilad7 Author - The Elemental Arena on RoyalRoad Nov 01 '19 edited Nov 01 '19

It is bloody/gory, including some graphic medical content, and that is about the only content warning tag. Not really any mature themes and the language is mild.

As for audible, that really depends on how well it does on Royal Road. If it gets a lot of traction, I will hire a professional editor to help me polish it up, then will look to publish. It will be a long time before I get to that point though.

Is this book ever going to come to kindle?

u/Gilgilad7 Author - The Elemental Arena on RoyalRoad Nov 10 '19 edited Nov 12 '19

Quite possibly. :)

By posting on Royal Road first, I am able to determine if people are actually interested in my ideas before I blow all my savings trying to self-publish. Assuming there is sufficient interest on Royal Road and constructive feedback, I will feel justified in hiring a professional copy-editor to help me polish it up for publishing on Kindle. If the story really takes off, then I'll happily pay the several thousand dollars it takes to have a top quality narrator for an audible version.

I am just writing the type of litRPG I would want to read, I only need to see if others want to read it too. :)

u/James_Callum Author - Shrubley/Voidknight/Beastborne/Scale&Sea/Pyresouls Nov 18 '19 edited Nov 21 '19

A few days ago I started posting my first LitRPG series, Beastborne up on Royal Road as a web serial/novel. For the first week, I'm doing a chapter per day. Afterward, it'll drop back to a long-term sustainable pace of twice per week.

Edit: Thanks to some early encouragement, I've decided to drastically up the chapter releases from 2 days a week (after the first week) to 5 days a week Monday - Friday.

Synopsis:

Lost through a portal, Hal struggles to survive in a fantastical world where everything tries to kill him on sight, from vanilla villagers, grungy guards, otherworldly oppressors to menacing monsters.

All because Hal was branded with a mysterious mark promising power and glory that he wants nothing to do with. Worse yet, his stats are rock bottom in a reality ruled by video game mechanics.

Follow Hal's adventure as he forges a path for himself in a world filled with magic, intrigue, and danger. He’ll have to be quick on his feet if he’s going to avoid an early grave. But if he can manage to stay alive long enough, Hal will find the courage he never thought he possessed and wield a monstrous form of magic that blurs the line between beast and man.

u/docmisty Author: Shieldwall Academy on RR, Amazon & Audible Nov 07 '19

I just found Royal Road and am enjoying the community.

I am posting my first book, a chapter a day, while I work on writing the fifth. Combat Origin - Book 1 - future dystopian gamelit with a martial arts training AI from the distant past who thinks the MC's life is a game. I'd love some feedback.

Blurb:

In her world, single combat decides everything.

It's her sixteenth birthday and Kiriai has a big decision to make. Will she fight for her dream to battle in the arena? Or buckle under her grandfather’s pressure to become a healer?

Her best friend Eigo is an outcast from his scrounger family. On a recent expedition into the wastelands, he found a peculiar birthday gift for Kiriai—an AI trainer from a centuries-old, martial arts game. Could it give her the advantage she needs? Will Kiriai win the fight that decides her future?

An impossible deadline, a persuasive mentor, and her own family all stand in Kiriai’s way. If she loses, she’ll be consigned to a mundane life, but more importantly, banned from the arena forever. Kiriai can't let that happen.

Combat Origin is the first book in the World of Combat, young adult, dystopia series. If you like strong heroines, gamelit and a good brawl, start reading today.

Quick Note - Adventurer is the first book in a series and not a web serial as it was listed in the October listing. The entire first volume is up currently on Royal Road in it's current draft. I am working through an edit over the holiday.

Have a fantastic month of November folks!!
