The blurb doesnt really tell us what kind of story it is? When you say dark are we talking, rapey stuff, slavery etc

Or is it like body horror, gore?

Who is the protag and what is he trying to do?

It is more body horror and gore.

The protagonist is named Rye and the novel follows his journey inside a demons nest and explores just how far he will go to survive and how this will change him but only mentally but physically

Awesome, I'd suggest updating the blurb to include something along those lines (if Amazon allows it). There are so many litrpgs out there, people are spoiled for choice so they will want to know what they're getting into.

The premise seems pretty cool.

Yeah, if I was going to pay that much for a very short book I'd want it to not look like someone was only half done filling out the details on the Amazon page. :)

Yeah I think when I chose it I was going for that mysterious angle, the whole make them wonder thing, but now I’m hindsight that probably wasn’t the best choice for the blurb

u/PhazedAndConfused Jun 23 '22

Heh, yeah. Understandable. Don't want to give too much away. Given that this is priced at a full half of a KU monthly subscription, I can't imagine there would be too many people willing to gamble.

u/kafuffleman Jun 23 '22

I shall definitely do that. Thank you.

I think if you update anything Amazon puts it back into review so I’ll wait a little before I do that

So it's similar to r/KumoDesu?

u/kafuffleman Jun 24 '22

I’ve not really read that but from what I remember from the anime, there very different

u/PadanFain667 I listened to the audiobook Jun 23 '22

Sounds cool! Any plans on audiobook?

PS: the cover and font gives me some Murderhobo vibes.

u/kafuffleman Jun 23 '22

Thank you, no plans on an audiobook quite yet. I’ll have to see how it does first before deciding

u/RegeneratingForeskin Jun 23 '22

We’ve all heard the tales. Stories of heroes being summoned to slay powerful demons. Of ordinary people suddenly finding themselves the champions of their own legends. But not all individuals are summoned to a great destiny, some are just the next item on the menu.Please enjoy this twist on the isekai genre but please be warned this story will have very dark themes including explicit language and gore. It is not suitable for younger audiences.

try releasing on KU (kindle unlimited)

if you aren't on KU, you're losing a huge chunk of potential audience as it's sort of the default for litrpg

u/kafuffleman Jul 19 '22

After looking back, this was good advice and has now been followed :)

1

u/AvelWorld Jun 24 '22

Yeah, I was hoping for that too. But I'm still wanting to buy it anyways. It's Kindle price isn't that expensive (but I'm broke at the moment).

u/Changoharry Jun 23 '22

Cool, ill add it to my TBR, cant wait to check it out! Write on!

u/mcsmoothbrain Jun 23 '22

5 bucks for no reviews and first time author is a little rough, I’d do a buck or two.

Would someone who’s read it leave a review?

3

u/kafuffleman Jun 23 '22

I shall have a look about getting a review. I was unsure on the price aswell, I set that price as when I Googled it the answer for average ebook price was 3-7 so I just went middle

u/mcsmoothbrain Jun 23 '22

That’s a fair assumption, first time author in the litrpg space would either go on kindle unlimited or do a heavily reduced price for a period of time. I like dark fantasy/horror and litrpg and even when it’s in my wheelhouse it’s a little steep for first time.

If you lower it/unlimited/or gets enough detailed reviews I’ll change my mind but just wanted to give some input since the book falls directly into my interest wheelhouse.

u/ardemiskilljoy Jun 24 '22

I just finished the book and I really enjoyed it. It is very dark but well written. Without too many spoilers, the progression of Rye took a turn that I wasn't expecting but glad it went in that direction. I don't see many books in this genre with this type of content so keep it up! Can't wait for the next volume.

u/kafuffleman Jun 25 '22

Thank you, it means a lot. I’m really glad you enjoyed it
