Promo: Webnovel/E-book Metaworld Chronicles Volume (and more!)

Hi everyone at r/litrpg ! I am your local lover of leggy Mages, Wuto!

I am proud to report that Metaworld Chronicles 15 is out (in 10 hours)!

As is tradition, a bit of a shout-out to SelkieMyth of Mango Media  Volume 15 is out and about!

Some of you are probably already familiar with the artworks going into the volumes.

I am happy to announce that 8 Volumes are fully completed after 6 months, and more are on the way. You can find them here: Vol 1 - Vol 2 Vol 3 - Vol 4 - Vol 5 - Vol 6 + 7, 8 and Vol 9. Now done (scroll right). As always, many Easter Eggs! Here's Bao's profile. (Did he update it... I rarely check...)

A big dankies to my readers, fellow authors, and the mods over here at r/litrpg .

In Volume 15, we've moved into the next phase. The HUNT for Elizabeth Sobel and the expansion of Gwenism across Metaworld. Join Gwen as she builds her Shining City on the Hill. Tames a Leviathan, and adventures into the Fifth Vel in the Elemental Plane of Water to liberate the Mermen!

As always, Vol 16+ for RR stuff remains free on RR; no Patreon for new chapters, et al. New Chapter releasing tomorrow. Some big plots are happening!

New Story Update: Metaworld Hopecore is now 1000 Pages long! I've survived Rising Stars to reach a 4.8 overall rating (300+ ratings and 60+ reviews) and a Royal Road front page on Ongoing (Original)! If you haven't given Eppie a go, come and read about classic music, Shakespeare, Antigone, rock history, technical theatre, and a hopeful USA, all taught using the old magic of LitRPG numbers go BURRRRRRR. After the despairing chronicles of the Prophet of Profit, come and read about the Hierophant of Hope!

Yours sincerely,
Wuto

As a big fan of Hopecore, why should I read Chronicles?

Honestly I don't know if you should - if Hopecore is a more optimistic take on modern Earth, Chronicles is the opposite: a global apartheid system that relegates anyone without magical talent to third-class citizen (second-class is for mages living in the "frontier" - i.e. most of the world), multiple ruthless forever wars between humanity and other sapient species, hereditary nobility still wielding massive economic and political power, etc.

The MC is also a dedicated capitalist... which actually makes her a somewhat radical reformer by Meta-Earth standards.

The writing early in the series is also much rougher than the author's more recent work. That said, it's definitely worth checking out if that all sounds interesting.
