I've been an avid reader since I was young. It's harder as I get older, and I use audio books and know that I can get an e-reader to give me a bigger font. What I am trying to understand is what is LitRPG? Is this a book that is read? Is it a game a la a board game?
Any help from the BlueSky folks?

When done correctly an author can use the presence of objective info about characters to tell interesting stories. Some tales include an objective arbitrator of the “rules” (often just called The System) which can be used as an interesting plot device.
It could be argued the OG Jumanji counts.

My personal take: it’s what happens when you introduce game mechanics into a setting in a diegetic way. The simplest example is if the characters in the most recent story you read could suddenly perceive that they had stats and attributes like a D&D or video game character.

Have you ever thought to yourself: “I wish there was a science-fantasy LitRPG that spends 16 chapters on character establishment before finally introducing the System?”

If so, you’d be the first. But hey, I’m writing it anyway.

So is any work of fiction an isekai by this logic? I ask because I’m into expanding my “your favorite childhood stories were all isekais” argument. 😆

Hi all, I'm Ryn and I write litrpg under my dead name turned penname Jonathan Smidt! For those who don't know, litrpg novels are books with video game mechanics added to them (think like isekai anime and such). If you enjoy video games and DnD, you'll enjoy these!

Big fan of the “cool special squad with unique helmets” trope (rain blood from shining force 3 here)

There's a bizarre and ongoing mainstream effort to launder RFK Jr into someone who just wants to get Americans eating nutritious food and exercising again but that is not evidenced anywhere in his public statements or career in public life.

He is a liar and conspiracist.

Discussion on no longer creating for an audience

A big part of my growth as both an artist and writer, esp with my comics, is no longer caring what an audience thinks of my work. Tyree is some of my best work BECAUSE it is specifically for myself and experimental. Some of my favorite indie comics follow this method as well.

"Do you enjoy doing math?"

"I do not."

"How about live improv?"

"Not at all!"

"Okay... but what if there are dragons?"

"...keep talking."

Sorry not sorry.

Thoughts?

For any libraries or librarians looking to stock your shelves with more LitRPG and cozy fantasy, here’s everything I have currently available through Ingramspark: Sentenced to Troll 1-6, Pangea Online: The Complete Trilogy, Cursed Cocktails, and Sword & Thistle. All in paperback and hardcover.

What’s a nearly perfect album? This is my vote.

The number must go up.
