(LitRPG/GameLit)

(Now on Book 2. Book 1 will be on KU and Audible Nov 23rd!)

Born magically talentless, Prince Corvus is an embarrassment the royal family and is removed from succession. However, he still has a chance to win back his throne. The next man or woman to hatch a dragon automatically becomes the ruler. Each member of the royal family is gifted with a dragon egg, but it is the work of a lifetime to hatch it.

The first time Corvus touches his dragon egg, he receives an odd notification: He has found a soulbound item and is tasked with an epic quest to hatch it… but only if he can walk the winding path of the dragon mage.

Armed with notifications, skill increases, and levels only he can see, Corvus is determined to hatch his dragon.

Godfather’s System

★ 4.52

Agoraphobic Dragon

Edward Hill was an old man, content with his lot in life as a godfather, preparing his retirement when an unexpected ambush ruined his plans…

Stepping through a portal of light was dangerous and foolhardy; stealing the destiny of a young man was tasteless; but when the choice was between that and death, he was more willing to take that deal.

Now, stranded in a new world, alone with no support, surrounded by people with treating him like a commodity, he must choose.

Toe the line…

Or, once again, create his own path…

—

And then, there was this mysterious system, calling him a hero… What a ridiculous idea.

Blueprint for Immortality: a Crafting Xianxia

★ 4.51

NoDragons

What to Expect: A slow-life xianxia with crafting, character-heavy writing, and exploring the world and people of Xianxia in a way the genre usually skips over.

Booker has woken up in the wrong body; a body ruined by drug-use, trapped in a dead-end life as the lowest possible form of apprentice in a massive sect.

But all this doesn't faze Booker. He's got a positive attitude, and when he looks into the mountains he sees a climb waiting for him. Better yet, he has the assistance of a magical book that will help him craft any pill in existence perfectly - a skill alchemists would fight and die for. With his skills in crafting, his patient soul, and his relentlessly upbeat attitude, Booker is climbing the first of many mountains.

Overleveled: Arrival in a New World

★ 4.55

JL Vincent

When an aimless guy dies making a noble sacrifice, he is presented with a chance to live life better in a new world. However, due to some godly negligence and terrible luck, his arrival does not go as planned. Having acquired overwhelming power, he has to confront a familiar question. How should I live my life?

This story is heavily influenced by Japanese light novels in regards to fast progression, overpowered protagonist, and hidden protagonist tropes.

As a heads up, this story is intended to be, above all else, fun. It does not take itself too seriously. My goal is to share my love of the genre tropes to make you smile and laugh.

The update schedule is "when I can, but it's still active."

Since this has become something of a minor issue, if you see this story anywhere other than royal road or scribblehub, I didn't post it. Please consider going to my patreon and supporting my work directly!

Archmage from Another World: Gaining Administrator Access [LitRPG Isekai]

★ 4.58

Etheric

Transported into a world where just about anybody can receive the prestigious title of Mage, Morgana is equally baffled and outraged. She spent the better part of twenty-two years holed up in alcoves, poring over spell formulae and memorizing the forty-three Primary Astolian Paradigms, all for the opportunity to study at the Ivory Institute and gain access to those primordial, inscrutable powers. And here, they're dropped into people's laps? Ridiculous.

Morgana doesn't know how she's arrived here, why everyone is so bone-headedly ignorant to the fundamentals of magic, and especially what this strange 'System' is, coddling even 'archmages' with the simplest of spell constructions, but she's going to find out.

In the meantime, there's plenty of fascinating things to study. Dungeons, artifacts, classes, skills, and spells—all obviously created by some Grand Architect using a language that, apparently, only Morgana is familiar with. Beyond gaining insights into the arcane, which she's devoted her life to decoding, there might be something incredible to glean inside all these expertly hidden mechanisms.

Something bigger than she could imagine.

Return of the Unbound Mage

★ 4.69

Scryx

Miles has one obsession in life: magic. He lives it, breathes it, and dedicates every waking hour to it. But the same obsession wears down his body. He needs to recover.

At the peak of his power, he finally chooses to take his rest in the form of artifact-enhanced sleep. He plans his rest to last months, no longer. It extends to centuries.

Miles wakes to an entirely new world: one where magic has become structured and rigid, where mages have given up future potential for something called an interface—an easier, safer path for novices. Mages who once leveled swathes of land and served as the keystones of empires no longer exist. The magic Miles knows has slid into legend.

Someone wants to weaken the world, and they have succeeded.

Miles, however, still lives. He can do everything this new era calls a myth—and much, much more.

Axiom of Infinity: Souleater

★ 4.64

TSeris

"They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. What then are we to think of it when the gods themselves steal our ideas on how the universe should work? Can we complain when they turn reality into a game? Can we get a refund on life itself? The gods claim they answered our prayers. That they built this world with us in mind. That they brought us here for our own sake. Maybe they did. Personally I think they have their own reasons. We're not the players in this game, we're the pieces on the board.

Still... What if it's fun?"

Axiom of Infinity follows the story of several travelers from Earth as they attempt to make new lives for themselves in a world with monsters and dungeons, where RPG mechanics are as innate as the laws of physics, and where the gods themselves seem to be playing a very different game–one with unknown stakes and strange alliances. Blessed by two gods and cursed by another, one man finds himself at the center of their machinations, a pawn destined to become a queen.

This is a LitRPG Novel built on a hard system with a lot of depth and customization, but which tries not to beat you over the head with numbers constantly. In this world finding and reporting bugs and exploits is both encouraged and rewarded, and the gods have found the most qualified testers in the multiverse: Us. Now the unsuspecting natives of Astra are going to have to learn to live with a bunch of min-maxing, power-gaming, spreadsheet slinging nerds and gamers of all shapes and sizes as we do what we do best... break things.
