About the author

I like to keep my bio simple. A few updates and a small mention that all of my books have a tinge of romance involved.

Ashen Realm: Book two will be coming out at the beginning of February. The third book is nearly ready as well. I'm hoping to have it published in April.

Fenrir's series; I will be releasing the fourth book at the beginning of the year around March.

Dimension Dungeon 3 is in the works still. I'm not sure when I'll get it out, but know that I am working on it.

World Champion has been launched, and the second book will be out near the beginning of the year. There will not be a preorder for it, so keep an eye out.

[Daybreak · Rating 2 out of 5]

first of all i must say that this book like many of the author's other books is a FTB. author added the harem to litrpg to just increase the page count and subsequently butchered both genres and didn't deliver in any of them. if this was done purely litrpg it would have been a good revenge story but why add harem if you're afraid to go all the way, just don't write half ass sh#t. either write a good harem plus some spice or just delete it completely and write litrpg and don't play the middle.

Excellent read

Well crafted plot, excellent job telling the story without too much filler or too many intimate scenes to drown out the actual story. One of the better harem lit I've read.

Great new series from this author.

I really enjoyed this book. I like most of what this author puts out and this book I initially read on Royal Road. The KU version is cleaned up and polished. Fantastic book.

Great read

Good character development with a new twist on cultivation. Lots of action and friendly banter. Steady MC progression and world building.
