Reddit reviews Opening Moves (The Gam3 Book 1)

I am a fan of this style also.

The Novice: Summoner: Book One (The Summoner Trilogy 1)

​

Opening Moves (The Gam3 Book 1) This series takes place in a school like environment.

​

The Hound of Rowan: Book One of The Tapestry Very YA, but Fun.

​

The Emperor's Blades: Chronicle of the Unhewn Throne, Book I A lot of the book takes place in a "school"

I'm about to try to go full time. I just finished my last semester of college and am hoping that this is a career that's viable for me. My recent web serial turned novel was a hit on amazon and I hope I can write a good deal more doing it full time. I have noticed however that I've already started slacking off a bit which is bad :(.


I doubt that writing will pay better than say a coding job (my degree is in CS/math) but seeing as I have no obligations other than a few student loans I'm going to try it out \^.^

And They Shall Reap The Whirlwind is a self insert into the life of bomber harris. It's long and well done.

Set in Stone A rational/ist Stonepunk story set in the future on planet controlled by an AI in an agrarian society. A very interesting and enjoyable story. /u/farmerbob1 's other story Symbiote was also pretty good.

Savage Divinity I remember the start being a little slow, but seriously awesome world-building. Has a fair amount of romance
> A modern man finds himself reincarnated in the body of a young slave with no skills and quickly fading memories. Follow his journey to find normalcy while living in a savage world, filled with myth and legends, monsters and Demons. In a land where the strong rule, the weak serve, and bloodshed is a way of life, peace is a luxury few can afford... Less action, more character and world driven is my aim. Mature language and themes, but no raunchy sex.

Updates 3 times a week usually, currently I get more excited by updates from this than from MOL.

The Last Angel is a story where humanity lost a war and was conquered, but humanities most powerful weapon, an AI Battleship, continues the war 1500 years later. It's been 4 years since I've read it and from what I remember it switches genres to a survival horror novel about halfway in for 20 chapters or so. Really good and apparently there is a sequel that I am going now going to have to check out.

The Gam3 is an extremely well done Litrpg. If its something you like the author has published an edited version of the first book Opening Moves with some extra content. Its the best LitRPG I've read, feels smooth and not clunky.

Ohh. I see.

You can always write a web novel in the style of light novels.

The Gam3 sold here started off as a series on Royalroad and went to publish in amazon. It's a more western novel, but still has some of that light novel characterization feel to it.

Mother of Learning is another fantastic english web novel though I don't believe it has any commercial releases.

I’ve recently been enjoying “The Gam3” series by Cosimo Yap : it was recommended to me after I finished RP1 and I was looking for something new.

While it’s not the same as RP1 I’ve found it to be an amazing read - loads of depth to the world(s) in it and just really draws you in.

Description from Amazon
> The Earth is changing. The alien invasion brought social upheaval, advanced technology, and an armada of peacekeeping robots. But Alan, a college student pursuing a now-useless degree, cares little about all of this. He has only one thing on his mind: the Game.
>
> A fully immersive virtual reality, the Game appears to be a major part of the invading civilization. Alan can't wait to play, recklessly diving into the digital universe. Soon though, Alan realizes the Game is anything but simple, and the stakes are higher than he ever imagined.

These types of questions get near instant replies from the facebook group link I specified above.

Maybe try The Gam3

I'VE READ OVER 50 BOOKS IN THIS GENRE OVER THE PAST YEAR. SOME ARE BETTER THAN OTHERS, BUT I DO LIKE THEM. THINK SWORD ART ONLINE, BUT A BOOK, AND NOT WEEB. GIVE THE GAM3 A TRY, IT'S A FREE READ HERE (ALSO AVAILABLE ON AMAZON IF YOU WANT TO SUPPORT THE AUTHOR).

You said you weren't looking for fiction, but other people might come to your thread looking for those kinds of suggestions, so sorry to leave you hanging, but I'll put a few out there, because I've enjoyed this genre.

Opening Moves Aliens have taken over and ostensibly done away with war, but the main character finds out the stakes in the aliens' "Game" may be just as high.

Solarversia We've got a sort of reality show VR game where a hundred million players duke it out over the course of a year to win a big prize. It's easy to get sucked into this one as a gamer, because the author really captures this sens of video game action. There's pseudo-ai personality modeling based on social media, and even a fanatical AI doomsday cult.

Survival Quest Don't let the name turn you off here. In this trilogy the biggest MMO has become so big that prisoners are actually sentenced to server their time in VR capsules mining resources for paying non-prisoner characters. Where standard players get to choose their class and have access to outside materials like guides and wikis, the protagonist here (who's unjustly charged, of course!) gets his class selected for him, and must learn the nuances to this underplayed Shaman class, as well as figure out how to earn respect, while simultaneously earning his way out of prison. The third book just came out on the 10th, and I wouldn't have found out about it if not for writing this, so thanks! And enjoy!

Those people didn't do their research. I posted a comment which is currently awaiting moderation. I'll cross post it here:

I disagree. I’ve been a member of the Web fiction community on Webfictionguide since 2014 and have seen many, MANY of my fellow web fiction writers serialize successfully. Wildbow’s serialized novel, Worm, earns him a couple thousand a month from Patreon alone. https://www.patreon.com/Wildbow?ty=h

Personally, I sold 500 books the first month after release thanks to my web fiction following.

There are several others who make a few hundred a month, and again others who launched ebook versions of their serialized novels and earned more than most trad published debut novelists do. Some examples:

https://www.amazon.com/End-Online-2nd-D-Wolfin-ebook/dp/B00RJHKH82 (again, Webfictionguide and other places)

I could post many more.

Opening Moves is what you're looking for.
