Synopsis

Player Manager 15 = Soccer Supremo 1

…

Books 1 to 6 are on All The Platforms!!

Max Best is too smart for a normal career, but too poor to further his education. He has a dead-end job, and he’s stuck there. That’s until a chance encounter gives him new abilities – he can see the attributes of soccer players. Big deal. But will Max ever realise he’s holding a winning lottery ticket?

And is this ability a super power… or a curse?

Player Manager is a progression fantasy set in the modern world. It’s perfect for fans of Football Manager, the FIFA games, and last-minute disallowed goals.

Soccer Supremo is the continuation series. Book 1 of that is book 15 of Player Manager. It makes sense, just go with it.

TedSteel

Max Best is back, but this time, he's exactly the same.

Max's grinding is paying off. His football club's new stand is rising, his team tops the league, and his personal wealth is exploding. He even has his face on the cover of Soccer Supremo, the best-selling football management game. But just as things are finally going his way, he decides to risk it all by taking on a new challenge and a new enemy. There's no way it will work and no way he will get away with it... and that's just the way he likes it.

"When the beautiful game turns ugly, Max Best is there to give it a haircut."

This is book 15 in the Player Manager series but new readers can start here.

New chapters: Monday and Friday.

Football Management Simulator (Soccer LitRPG)

★ 4.81

D.N. Newyn

Jamie Harrington used to be a defender you could rely on, until the match-fixing scandal that ended his career and relationship like a rogue corner kick. Seven years and one ban later, he’s just another ex-pro flipping steaks on a rusted grill, pretending not to watch football (soccer) highlights through the neighbor’s window.

When his brother, now a Premier League star, drags him into coaching a struggling Tier 7 side, Jamie expects nothing but mud and bad pitches. What he doesn’t expect is the game.

Not the game. His literal video game.

The old Football Management Simulator he’s been playing to kill time starts bleeding into reality. He sees player stats above heads, morale bars hovering like ghosts, and form graphs in real time. And they’re accurate.

Now, for the first time in years, Jamie’s got an edge. A disgraced defender turned reluctant manager, a small-town club on the brink of collapse, and a gift that shouldn’t exist. With his new vision, he might just rebuild Dunsvale from the dirt and drag them all the way to the top of the Champions League.

Every stat matters now, and he’s playing for keeps.

[For every chapter I add on Royal Road from C6 onward, I’m adding an extra chapter on Patreon. The Patreon will always be ahead.]

Valkyrie’s Shadow

★ 4.7

Aeridinae Lunaris

In the wake of the Battle of Katze Plains, the banner of Ainz Ooal Gown flies proudly over the city of E-Rantel. The Sorcerous Kingdom has entered the world’s stage to the clamour of death and devastation; the surrounding nations fearfully prepare even as they reel from its calamitous debut. Within the borders of the newly annexed realm, its Human subjects cower in their homes as the Undead openly walk the streets and stalk the lands. Yet, when a destitute noble finds herself under the auspices of an unlikely benefactor, events are set into motion that will resound over the world for ages to come.

A kingdom builder based on the events and setting of Kugane Maruyama’s Overlord. In a fantasy world where beings of matchless power are transmigrated from the arbitrary existence of a game, Valkyrie’s Shadow chronicles the lives of the natives whose reality has been turned upside down by their advent. It is the tale of a nation created by the whims of a supreme sovereign, and his unstoppable servants who each have their own, often twisted, interpretations of their Master’s Will.

There is no victory in strength; no miracles wrought from magic that will save them: only the inexorable advance of a new world order where those who secure a place of service within will find themselves turned against the world that they once knew.

[Slow buildup. Methodical storytelling with a focus on well-rounded kingdom building and character development.]

A Novel Concept – He Who Eludes Death

Priam

Can you get used to dying? He has to.

When a particular universe was born, seven primordial Concepts acquired an ego. Omniscient and omnipotent, they seek since to enrich their home. To do so, they plunder other universes, capture young civilizations and plagiarize ideas. Many monsters, gods, civilizations, and races are competing for the eighth throne.

Eons later, it is Earth's turn to be torn away from its Sun.

Humanity begins its integration by participating in a Tutorial. Priam has both the luck and the misfortune to finish it first. Luck because his reward is a form of pseudo-immortality. Misfortune, because as the champion of his civilization, he is transported to Elysium, the most dangerous world created by the Concepts. Nine out of ten champions lose their lives there on their first day. Fortunately for Priam, he has many lives.

The Game at Carousel: A Horror Movie LitRPG

★ 4.81

lost_rambler

Could you survive a horror movie?

That's the question Riley must answer after he and his friends get lured to Carousel, a malevolent town where horror movies come to life.

Riley thinks he is in big trouble when he is assigned the Film Buff archetype, a minor support class that has a penchant for dying early in movies. At first resigned to his fate to die over and over, he believes he has found a way to survive. Upon obtaining the Oblivious Bystander trope, monsters and killers will not harm him as long as he can convincingly pretend he has not noticed them. At first, this ability appears to be a joke, but Riley thinks that with some clever exploitation, it might just be his greatest strength.

What to expect:

-Strategic gameplay and clever uses of movie tropes to survive

-Perilous storylines right from your favorite horror movies

-Creative Twists of Classic Horror Movie tropes

-Moderate stats-based combat and strategy
