Adam Bolander. I think it has a nice ring to it.

They still answered. That means that some part of them, even if it's a small part, thinks about that when they're looking for something to read. Otherwise they wouldn't have answered at all--or in your case, not answer but try to derail the thread anyway.

The fact that 19 people have voted so far says otherwise.

Yeah, but it's the longest piece of fiction ever written. Not even joking. It holds the world record.

I have THE PERFECT STORY FOR YOU.

I've gotten a lot slower with my writing over the past few years. What used to only take me three or four months now takes me the better part of a year to write. That's why all my books lately have been novelas, because who knows how long writing a full fledged novel would take? And I know being...

It could be, but it could also be two different stories. I'm just trying to get an idea of if people prefer lots of smaller, easier to read books, or larger books that take longer to read but comes in fewer volumes.

Assuming you knew nothing about the story itself, which of these would you be more likely to pick up and take a look at: a series with a small number of long books, or a large number of short books?

"That bully just wants to be your friend."

How do you know if the system you've made for your litrpg is any good? I've never written a litrpg before and this is my biggest worry. I don't want to do anything crazy with my system, but I also don't want to copy an existing one. How do I know if the levels, spell points, stats, level ups...

You need to worry less about hooking them with each individual chapter and more about hooking them in the first chapter. If you've got them reading past chapter one, chances are they're already hooked and will remain hooked as long as the story's quality doesn't drop. You don't have to keep...

Like with everything else, it depends on how well it's written. In your case, variety is literally going to be your spice of life. If it's just steal > run > escape > steal > run > escape over and over again, it'll get boring really quick. But if you can make each heist and method of escape...

Historical romances taking place during the Irish potato famine starring people with names like Sturly Stembleburgiss, Grampton St. Rumpterfrabble, and Irascible Coxwain Saunterblugget Hampterfuppinshire. Don't bother looking for any on here, though. They're so insanely, ridiculously popular...

That I would treat my kids the way my Dad treated me. I don't know if it would be worse if I knew that I was doing it, or if I stayed as blissfully unaware as he was, absolutely convinced that I was the best dad in the world while I beat my kids over the most insignificant crap.

[THIS POST HAS BEEN CONSUMED BY THE VOID]

Its a story about the world being remade with an RPG system, and 99% of the population is turned into mindless NPCs. The few "players" that are left have to continually do quests to earn XP to keep their minds from fading. They've found a way to share that XP with others, so they have a small...

I've mentioned a couple times that I'm thinking about writing a litrpg, but I have very little experience with the genre. I'm listening to the Dungeon Crawler Carl audiobook, and it's really fun, but from what I hear that's more of a deconstruction of the litrpg genre than a "real" litrpg. So if...

I was writing Henry Rider 3 a few minutes ago, and I suddenly realized I'd just written the most inspirational line I'd ever come up with—entirely by accident! What's the most inspirational line you've ever put into a book?

There's going to be a few prominent side characters, and most/all of them will have POV chapters, or even entire story arcs devoted to them. But there's only going to be one main character who the story is primarily about.

I've got two characters ready for the litrpg I'm building in my head, but I can't decide which one to make the main character. I like them both, and I'm definitely going to include both in the story. I think both have the potential to inspire some really cool stories. But, there's only room for...
