    Super Minion

    www.royalroad.com Super Minion | Royal Road

    Fortress City has Super Villains, who have evil lairs, and in them they make super weapons. But when a bioweapon is granted super powers of its own, will Fortress City be able to handle the Super Minion? Cover by Vitaly S Alexius

    Super Minion | Royal Road

    Fortress City has Super Villains, who have evil lairs, and in them they make super weapons. But when a bioweapon is granted super powers of its own, will Fortress City be able to handle the Super Minion?

    The protagonist of this story is a escaped lab experiment that has to adapt to human life in a future full of super heroes and villains. The story is overall good, but where it really shines is seeing the MC trying to figure out how society works and struggling to understand human quirkiness.

    Dungeon Core Chat Room

    Dungeon Core Chat Room. | Royal Road

    This is a slower-paced "experiment and dungeon building" web novel that tries to use the idea of peer-to-peer communication with Dungeon Cores instead of Dungeon to slave monster communication to break up the detailed dungeon building.

    This one is really good. Personally am a big fan of the genre, and it is a well executed entry. It does some amazing world building as at the start of every chapter there is an excerpt of a book or similar, and these sometimes feed into the main story. Without spoiling anything, the ending is quite good, sadly there will be no new stories in this universe, even though the world and ending more than allow for it. There are some spelling mistakes, but not so much that it disturbs the reading flow. Overall highly recommended

    Everybody Loves Large Chests (MC is a Mimic)

    www.royalroad.com Everybody Loves Large Chests | Royal Road

    Everybody Loves Large Chests is now available on Amazon and Audible! Featuring lots of editorial love and a more enjoyable reading/listening experience! Large chests are said to encompass all manner of hopes and dreams. Men covet them. Women envy them. But one fact holds true - everyone wants to get...

    Everybody Loves Large Chests | Royal Road

    This was really fun. 350 chapters I burned through in ten days. The main character is a standard dungeon mimic (like from D&D) that gets lucky and becomes ridiculously OP by the end of the book. It's got lots of interesting characters, and I really enjoyed reading a book where the protagonist is not good aligned at all. I suppose Boxxy T. Morningwood (the T stands for Trap) would be chaotic evil?

    There is some definitely NSFW stuff, but Boxxy is itself genderless and asexual, so it's not like a lame harem story.

    There's tons of commissioned and fan art linked in the chapters and more on the author's discord.

    Let me know if you read it! I'd be interested to hear your opinions.

    Recommendation: A (Not So) Simple Fetch Quest

    www.royalroad.com A (Not So) Simple Fetch Quest | Royal Road

    Oh great hero! The evil Demon Lord has once again arisen to terrorise our lands, and we have summoned you to save our people! No, we don't want you to fight the demon lord! Of course not; we're the good guys! What sort of good guys kidnap people from other worlds and force them to take part in wars ...

    Review: Heart of Dorkness

    www.royalroad.com Heart of Dorkness | Royal Road

    When an accident causes the early death of two young women, one is chosen to become a hero, a saviour, and a servant of the God of Heroes! This is not her story. This is the story of Valeria, whose soul clung to her friend’s, and who was dragged into a new world where her wandering spirit was claim...

    Heart of Dorkness | Royal Road

    Heart of Dorkness is Isekai/LitRPG. It’s a pretty silly story, but enjoyable. It has action, but the part that makes it special are the slice of life parts. The pacing is a bit slow some times, but it’s fine overall. A cute story

    Review: Rock falls, everyone dies

    www.royalroad.com Rock falls, everyone dies | Royal Road

    By a stroke of fate, a stone gains sentience and sets out on a grand quest to touch grass. However, the system forgot to change its stats from their [Metric] values to the appropriate [Str, Int, Dex] values. Things escalate. Fast. Features:- Cultivation - Jade Beauties- Numbers go up (Ridiculous...

    Rock falls, everyone dies | Royal Road

    Rock falls, everyone dies is comedic LitRPG. It's quite fun and due to it being only about 200 pages long, it's perfect if you want a short break, for example if you just read a over 2000 page web novel. It can be read in one sitting with ease. The story has a lot of turnarounds and never gets repetitive. If you have a bit of time, just read it. It's complete and brief so you don't have to worry about finishing it and can just enjoy.

    Recommendation: Manifold Mirror Mage: Legendary Magic on a Common Budget

    www.royalroad.com Manifold Mirror Mage | Royal Road

    Manifold Mirror Mage: Legendary magic on a common budget. Working class student Giorgio deGloria has a lofty goal - to become one of the most powerful archmages in the Ringed City, and to explore the depths of the Crystal Ring Academy- a megalithic dungeon-turned-college at the ancient city’s heart....

    Manifold Mirror Mage | Royal Road

    Overall this is a good story. You will probably like it if you like magic-academy stories. At least in the part I read so far, the story is good, not perfect but very enjoyable. It especially does a good job with the world building.

    Description:

    Working class student Giorgio deGloria has a lofty goal - to become one of the most powerful archmages in the City of Rings, and to explore the depths of the Crystal Ring Academy- a sprawling dungeon-turned-college at the heart of the city. But in order to move up in the world, he has to compete with his wealthy classmates for the incredibly limited attention span of the few instructors in the ringed city that will give an unawoken mage the time of day. His classmates all have spell books full of unique and expensive magics, but Gio only has access to one uncommon spell starting the semester-  Reflect.

    Review: Mother of Learning

    www.royalroad.com Mother of Learning | Royal Road

    Zorian is a teenage mage of humble birth and slightly above-average skill, attending his third year of education at Cyoria's magical academy. He is a driven and irritable young man, consumed by a desire to ensure his own future and free himself of the influence of his family, whom he resents for fav...

    Mother of Learning | Royal Road

    Mother of Learning is ubiquitous in lists of the best web novels and that is for a good reason. It shares some vibes with Harry Potter and follows Zorian, who is stuck in a time loop that makes him repeat the first month of his third year at the academy. I really enjoyed the character development and the twists and turns the story has. Overall it’s generally a great story. It can be read completely on Royal Road, bought on Amazon as ebook and is also available as an audiobook or physically on kickstarter.

    Recommendation: Fork This Life!

    www.royalroad.com Fork This Life! | Royal Road

    Now we've all heard stories about people who died and were born again with their memories intact. The form of the reincarnator changes from story to story: human, elf, orc, slime, vampire, goblin; you name it, someone wrote it. But what if you were reborn in the most common of houshold objects?

    Fork This Life! | Royal Road

    This is a reincarnation LitRPG with a fork MC. I think no more is needed to be said. Seriously, the story is good and there is a (pseudo official) audio book available.

    Description:

    Now we've all heard stories about people who died and were born again with their memories intact. The form of the reincarnator changes from story to story: human, elf, orc, slime, vampire, goblin; you name it, someone wrote it. But what if you were reborn in the most common of houshold objects?

    What would happen if someone reincarnated as a fork?

    Involves: merciless fork jokes, monsters, magic n' all that stuff, some profanity, maybe some gore (i'll keep it light), fork philosophy, and if you got advice on where to go next with the novel, comment, coz I only got a hazy outline.

    Recommendation: Hero's Song - A Novel in Verse

    The story is nice, just a bit bare bones. Of course the main selling part is the rhyming and that is done really well. The story is complete with 321 pages.

    Description:

    Every child in every town has heard adventure’s call songs and stories of the hero, known and loved by all but every now and then a stubborn child will come along who will not rest until they’ve been the hero in a song

    And what awaits the child who chases dreams until their end those who challenge fate with every day they have to spend would they know the questions to the answers which they find what of all the family and friends they left behind

    Should this be a tale of good and evil, or of fate choices made in moments lost and battles won too late somewhere on the hero’s path he might just go astray maybe it’s a simple song to those who know the way

    The Legend of William Oh | Royal Road

    Really liking this one so far, interesting mix of new elements with the regular LitRPG stuff.

    Description:

    Listen here, because I've seen it with my very own eyes.

    William Oh was born on the hundredth floor of The Tower, to the greatest Climbers of the ancient world, steeped in the Tower's lethal miasma from the moment he drew breath, giving him strange and unnatural powers.

    They say he is an immortal being who circles the dreams of mortal men, resurfacing wherever the need is greatest. Those who disparage him will fall into despair, but if you're a Climber in a tight scrape, look to the sky and say a little prayer.

    Maybe he will appear?

    Odds are probably better if you pay for my drink.

    Rumor overheard on a 1st Floor Tavern. Originator did not pay his tab.
