Re: Give me your best pick up line.
Hi, I'm George. I'm unemployed and I live with my parents.

Re: How do you prevent yourself from writing repetitive patterns?
https://i.ytimg.com/vi/8Jul5SuPYJc/sddefault.jpg Everyone does it. That's what editing is for. Just write it all down, then fix it it post.

Re: Justifying adventurer guilds: Why make and allow them to remain?
What do you mean you need to justify them? Everyone in medieval times had a guild. Merchants had a guild. Blacksmiths had a guild. Thieves had a guild. It's accepted as a given, like that gravity exists (...)

Re: New to Writing LITRPG's, Question on System Dialogue
Step one is realizing that your system doesn't need to have dialogue. Especially now in the post-DCC world, where a snarky system AI was done to perfection, there's plenty of readers that will see a sentient (...)

Re: Another AI. And another one.
Gotta filter by the profanity tag. Advanced level promptors can twist their slop machines to give them Big Lebowski-tier swearing, but most won't bother. That way you'll cut down the bulk of Kaels and (...)

Re: Am I the only one who hates over-abbreviations?
Never play World of Warcraft then. Or WoW as it's more commonly known. Because then you'll wanna hit RFC into WC, then SFK, BFD, RFK, SM, and RFD. Then, after a few non-abbreviated dungeons, you'll (...)

Re: Readers skip chapter 0. Why?
"I only ever had Papa John's so I decided pizza was gross. Now every time I visit chicago I avoid the pizza* More like, I've eaten in finest Michelin star restaurants and have Gordon Ramsay on speed dial. (...)

Re: Sensitivity and reasonableness check
A high school kid doesn't need an elaborate 20 step plan to do something stupid. He sneaks in to flip over all the desks in his classroom because he thought it would be funny at the time. Enter monster. (...)

Re: Tell me about a location in your story
I use https://www.dungeonscrawl.com/ for the dungeons in my story. I don't follow the resulting dungeons precisely and change the maps to better suit the story, as the readers don't see them anyway. But (...)

Re: Book 1 of Geezer's Quest done. On to book 2.
And for some reason the line about the neighbour with pictures of airports stuck with me. Thanks! And I'm happy to announce you're the first to single out that line. It's sneakily one of the biggest (...)

Book 1 of Geezer's Quest done. On to book 2.
Geezer's Quest, my first novel written specifically for Royal Road, is now complete. Writing a LitRPG is a lot of fun, it turns out. Even if you're pretty much forced to keep a spreadsheet for all the (...)

Re: Without any context, what is happening in the chapter you're currently working on.
Sextant on the Beach.

Re: OMG Which cover?
I mean, theyre fitting for two different kinds of stories. The left one is a cartoony kids' book about exploring strange worlds. The right one is a gritty battle story with babes and barbarians. You should (...)

Re: Readers skip chapter 0. Why?
Since I apparently love beating dead horses (beating live ones is scary after all, have you seen those teeth?), let me break this down for you. A prologue isn't a story. A prologue is lore. Showing (...)

Re: Does romance have a place in Progression Fantasy?
I initially came into progression fantasy precisely because I heard it was the home of #1. An oasis in the ocean of endless romance. And so I'm saddened this is changing now. The long arm of romantasy (...)

Re: Looking for LitRPG/Fantasy With Dungeons, Party Adventures, Magic… and maybe an Elf Girl or Two
Outside of romance, Geezer's Quest from my signature sounds like exactly the story for you. Mind you, dungeoneering in book 1 is pretty backloaded, but once the party gets into the mega dungeon, they'll (...)

Re: What's the most confusing review/rating you've received on your work?
The last review XNPC got had this as the headline: "Elon Musk Changed Twitter to X Because of This" It was a positive review, and I'm grateful for every review I get, but still...what? Makes perfect (...)

Re: LitRPG/Isekai system notices - what do people like?
I like the DCC/Discount Dan way of doing things. Just centered bold text for skill and item descriptions, with stats and other fluff rolled out occasionally.

Re: Crossovers.
I did one as an April Fools special. It ended up a full on mini adventure featuring both our squads working together. We ended up tossing them in a new world, with the quest to get back to their respective (...)
