/lit/ - Literature

>>14383578

LitRPG shit can be fun.

>>14383578
Holy shit that looks bad. I'm genuinly intrigued. Next time i go to a bookstore i'm going to pick up some trashy erotic novel.
Thinking about it. Would reading these books give you insight in how to not write a good book?

>“And they helped you with your own powers?” Ice asked, seemingly playing the part more than actually caring.
“Oh, sure. There’s this one professor here who came and helped out in the junior program sometimes, and honestly, if I can study under her I’ll be peeing a little every time class starts, she’s so amazing.”
“Amazing… how?” I asked, trying to ignore the image of this girl peeing her pants.

Great stuff.

>burger LNs

>>14383690
an insight on how to write a coomer character. make him like those novels and use tropes from it. lit needs more well-written negative characers that are not dramatic

>>14383690

Oh yeah these are pretty trashy weeaboo cash-grabs. The first one in my OP is like a mix of derivative Space Opera / derivative Harry Potter / Superhero / Weeb Harem shit.

Do read some of these trashes.

>>14383799

This is literlaly what they are.

If you dig deep enough you can find Burger Xianxia too. Which I dread too much to even look into beyond a glance.

>>14383578
I want her to sit on my face so bad

>>14383918
>burger xianxia

I feel disgusted but intrigued

>>14383921

Charm is best girl in the Supers universe. She's such a cute slut.

>>14383932
>>14383918
Cradle is probably instance of Burger xianxia for me.

>>14383913
>Bone Lord
BLATANT

>>14383932

Yeah, same. But unlike the Burger Harem LNs which I do read I don't dare to tip my toes into these.

And there's a lot of them too.

>>14383946

Surprised you didn't mention the girl who's literally just Zero Two on a Morrigan body instead.

>>14383952
I read BONE LORD and that was it

>>14383970

Succubus Lord is the best worst novel I ever read, trust me.

Or rather, heard. I listened to the audiobook, which was supremely cringy I tell you, and had one particular bit that included a fucking blooper from the narrator, who just burst out laughing at how stupid the situation was.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcJBoz2A2pE

Coomer Audiobooks are something else.

>>14383578

Lmao this shit looks so out of place in the Catalog amidst all the typical /lit/ faire.

>>14383913
These are by far the worst novels for everything they do. Hawke cooper and archer are terrible authors who can write neither convincing plots nor quality smut. These are the absolute bottom of the barrel.

>>14384135
At least in a sense of "so bad that is good"?

>>14384150
No they’re not even good for that. There are books that do the so bad it’s good better, like herald of shalia. These are just all around a waste of text

>>14383578

>>14384135

I like Jamie Hawke tho.

>>14383578
Does this "literature" open up new cooming avenues?

>>14384250

Indeed. You haven't experienced what is hearing about alien superhero schoolgirls (One of which is a pink-haired kitsune) having a lesbian threesome in the woods together until you read it firsthand.

>>14384201
Acquire taste
>>14384293
There is better smut out there. A lot of monster girl threesomes, but better written. Like the randi Darren books.

AAAAH SHE LOOKS JUST LIKE ZERO TWO I'M GONNA COOOM

How do I ascend to the level where I can drop any shame and start selling my own smut?

Yea I used to love them(the manga once) when I was a coomer.

>>14383578
Is this what the future of literature by the coomer generation looks like?

Fucking zoomers

Is there such a thing as well written smut? Lady Chaterley's Lover is too redpilled to induce a boner and Sword of Truth is absolute trash.

Can there be anything in between?

>>14383913
>branded, master of all
>metal mage
>mystic guardians
>swordsman of the rift
and best of all
>BONE LORD

what trash novel titles can /lit/ come up with?

>>14383578
i am more.....highbrow

>want to read randi darren and william arand
>books are like $20 a pop
>ebooks are free with a kindle I dont have or otherwise like $10
>decide to just download it instead
>no downloads
>fuck it buy it on ebay instead
>more expensive than amazon and only a few books are available
>same for other litrpg books

Never mind I guess.

Any litrpg with asian women? I rarely see them in anything litrpg or not.

pls no bully..

>>14384511

Sure there's plenty if you look hard enough.

>>14384454

You haven't seen the real shit until you read Succubus Lord. Or better yet, listened to the audiobook.

Jesus Christ that novel seemed like it was written by a horny 12 year old.

>>14384322

Well, recommend me "better" nerd smut, then. Cause as far as I know it's either this shit or /a/ shit.

>>14384526
Any suggestions? I tried searching but got a lot of off topic search results on google and reddit posts complaining about wmaf stuff in media.

>>14384547

I tend to research for these types of things in audiobookbay, honestly. The "Harem" and "Gamelit" and "LitRPG" tags are where I find most of this shit.

>>14384557
Hahaha what the fuck

>>14384454
How about

INCUBUS MINI-BOSS

>>14384574

Exactly. That's my reaction whenever I come across some of these.

"How the fuck did someone actually write this, nevermind approached people with it and got it to be published."

>>14384557
I tried it just now but nothing tells me if any of the main women are asian or not

Is there any of these with futa or traps?

>>14384605

Nothing's stopping you from searching.

>>14384526
Can you not just change one of the Characters names to Xiao-Lin and picture her as an asian?

>>14384614
>Book eight
Damn son

>>14384620

Yeah these are just Burger Light Novels. They get a fuckton of volumes and thrive on continued sales aimed at a small dedicated fanbase.

>>14384537
Daniel Black
The Heartstone Saga
Randi Darren/William arand
Herald of Shalia
Heartgem Homestead (though his blood mage/arcane dropout series is better written. Just has less monster girls if that’s your thing.)
Celestine Chronicles.
Earth Tactics Advance

>>14384616
>Can you not just change one of the Characters names
How do I do this? Several books ahve some dumb ass names I cant get over.

Anyone have a download link to Randi Darren or Willian D Arand and their books? They are the same guy right? Any links to other gamelit/litrpg books either with the harem romance stuff or without?

>>14384641

Thanks based /lit/ coomer.

>>14384654
I should have added, no audiobooks. Im 90% deaf in one year and the other is 25%, been about 12 years now.

I honestly don't believe that any of this shit is actually coomworthy. If I was looking for trashy lighthearted smut I would be turning to japanese LNs, tbqh, at least those have pictures you can get a stiffy to.

>>14384654

Are you okay with audiobooks. I get mine mostly through audiobookbay by copying the magnet links.

>>14384673
>>14384660

Well F-me. Should have refreshed I guess.

I just fucking love how out of placed this thread looks amidst the rest of the catalog.

It's just row after row of the typical pseudo-posh /lit/shit and then all of a sudden BIG ANIME TIDDY.

>>14384684
>anime tits
>western shit
Stupid zoomer

>>14383578
>>14384325
i like the art

What are some good books where female main character makes snuggies with various animals and beasts?

>>14384734
Any female written Urban Fantasy

>>14384709

Yeah Charm looks cute.

>>14384684
That's why I clicked it.

>>14384761
It's working.

>>14384673
>>14384679

I dont prefer it But I have the sennheiser rs 195 that I can adjust the volume of each ear so it can work if there is not alternative.

>>14384709
The books have art other than just the cover? Is it really like a western version of japanese light novels? I havent read anything yet im just writing down suggestions.

>>14384641
Anything with asian women?

>>14384848
A couple of the arand/Darren books have them. Super sales on super hero has a cute yandere Asian, but it’s also a fade to black kind of thing.
Blood mage by Edmund Hughes has a Japanese maid. That’s all I can think of, off the top of my head.

is this like sissification shit?

>>14384920
No it’s coomer shit

I'm writing a postmodern litrpg and plan to selfpublish in February. Do you think it will sell to the litrpg crowd

>>14384924
disappointing

>>14384929

Depends. What's it about?

>>14384929
If you have the main character be a thief archer or spell sword I will rip your heart out through your anus.

What is objectively the best litrpg gamelit book around? What has been your favorite?

Is litrpg just a bunch of explicit sex scenes? I dont get it.

Anything where it takes place in space, or with a serious plot and atmosphere with real consequences and not some chad dicking dozens of women with little to no plot?

>>14384490
Or, you know, you can just get a used kindle for like 40 bucks.
Also, you are quite clearly unaware of mobilism, as I have found every Randi Darren book on there.

>>14385094

The Supers Universe takes place in space but also has a protagonist literally named Chad who dicks half a dozen or so women over the course of the books.

>>14385092
No. It just depends on what you’re looking for.
>>14385088
My personal favorite is the Wraith’s Haunt series.

I didn't know this existed

>>14385128
>banned on amazon for being a botting fag

Rip this greedy turbo nerd.

Who draws all these

Also, has anyone noticed that a large part of harem protagonists used to be programmers/study CS before they were isekaied or some shit?
Just thought I would toss it out there

>all this IP theft going on in the covert art
We sure these books aren't being written in China?

>>14384557
Read the first book in this series, it's actually okay until the protaganist starts getting regular pussy, which is probably indicative of how shit it really is

I read trashy/pulpy stuff like this book pretty often because I have shit taste, but even I know to avoid isekai and xianxia ripoffs. And on the topic of harem novels, sex in books is never arousing or titillating, just weird and tacked on, at least for me

I'm a shit writer, would I be able to make money off shit like this anyway?

its the new based genre, if women can have their shitty romance/erotica trash cluttering up 80% of the amazon/kobo stores, its only natural for their to be shitty isekai harem nonsense as well

>>14385315
If your smut is good, and you can write semi passably and rapidly.

>>14385315

If you are prolific and able to put these out on a quick, consistent basis, yes.

>>14384162
>herald of shalia
absurdly based

>>14385137
Various artists commissioned from the internet. A lot of Fantasy / Sci-Fi books unironically get covers drawn by people on Deviantart of all places.

>>14385219

Now that you mention it, you're right. It does happen a lot.

Couldn't even bring myself to finish it. Is there even a serious smut book that's at least a decent read? Because at this point the only ones worth reading are on AO3 and Hentai Foundry. Hell even fanfics do a better job.

>>14385105
>mobilism
I have a kindle oasis. Thanks for the mobilism tip but googling it now it seems like its to download paid games. How do I get his epubs or pdfs etc?

Is this stuff a "missed potential waiting for a good book" genre or a "the shittier the better" genre?

>>14385953
This is about porn and text anon. With pornography you can just feast your eyes on the imagery and jack off all day long. But on text? Guy either is good or you won't be even able to wank it without getting lost or be easily bored.

I work from home until 2 a.m. at a computer, so it's pretty hard to get sleep. Obviously I'm too tired for anything challenging, so I read old teenage favorites like Terry Brooks to help me fall asleep. Mostly because it's comfy, and I'm able to skip around and pay half my attention.

>>14385108
>My personal favorite is the Wraith’s Haunt series.
Didnt think authors shill their own works here

>>14385306
>xianxia
What is this? I know what isekai is but not this

>>14385337
Do you recommend this book?

>>14386200
Xianxia means cultivation. Essentially the Chinese version of isekai, although it doesn't always have the hero transported to another world. Most of the time the protaganist trains, usually in magic or martial arts, often to acquire enlightenment or power for power's sake. The tend to involve harem elements and sometimes the protaganist is a military strategist or even monarch, but that varies

What fantasy fetish space should I exploit for profit? Elves? Dragons?

>>14386025

Succubus Lord has a Short, Flat-Chested Redhead Succubus that's frequently described as looking disturbingly young, and at one point disguises herself as a schoolgirl.

Don't worry though, she's millions of years old.

>>14386182
>>14385942

>>14386312
What the best isekai and xianxia out? I want to try some new things.

Off topic a bit, apologies.

Whats the best format to convert ebooks into for my kindle? azw, azw3, mobi, pdf? Sadly epubs dont work.

>>14386561
mobi

>>14386553
Very debatable.
Modern Isekai is often written as nothing more than a script for an eventual anime adaption. The writing sometimes suffers further from sloppy fan translations, but quite frankly there isn't much to work with for the translators.
Good Isekai would be 12 Kingdoms.
Its a long running novel that started before the writing standards for isekai in general tanked.
Its not really a completely finished saga though (it has a good anime too if you want to go that route)

>>14384490
You're just really bad at finding stuff despite being spoonfed.

>>14386561
get the kfx output plugin for calibre and use that

>>14386651
This just those you have listed on your self-pub chart

>But I added TWO THAT WEREN'T ON THERE!!!!
Yeah, but it doesn't matter because these aren't really LitRPG anyway. Honestly, I'm rather confused by these choices.

>>14386690
That's an old chart, faggot. I just posted it for you coomers, so you could see quality gamelit.

>>14386719
They aren't GameLit either though?

>>14386746
Yes, they are? They just lack stats masturbation.

The Japanese have been perfecting this genre for much longer and are absolutely shameless about it.

Western literature doesn't even come close.

>>14386769
give some recs plx

>>14386760
Fimbulwinter: isekai
Wild Wastes: post-apocalyptic erotic fantasy

Super Sales on Super Heroes: Closest to gamelit, urban fantasy

>>14386794

You are unironically asking for Isekai recommendations?

I'm gonna say Mushoku Tensei.

>>14386769
The genre has been around for decades. You simply mean your anime harem variant for zoomers.

>>14386561
I used to use mobi but found that azw3 gives better more consistent results no matter the input source when converting for my Kindle.

>>14386200
Eat my ass buddy.

>>14384848

Dude, Japanese light novels have plenty of Asian women.

>>14387726
nah japs write white people and even make then look white with pale skin blue eyes blonde hair big eyes and tall then pretend they are japs

I want something western with a proper asian woman in it

>>14388234

There is Kitchen by Banana Yoshimoto which has two novellas in one book. You can read anything by Natsuo Kirino who writes about Japanese women, some books of hers are Out, Grotesque and Real World. Joy Kogawa wrote Obasan which is about Japanese-Canadians and their treatment during World War 2, I think they were also forced from their homes and had to go to internment camps. There is also Memoirs of a Geisha, but I don't know who wrote the novel, I just know that Hollywood made a movie from the book.

>>14388362
None of those are harem, gamelit/litrpg, isekai genre though

Anything about breeding? Milk farms? and so on

This one's ok. There exists irl BDSM protocol communities off of this series btw

>>14388474
>The series is known for its repeated depiction of sexual fantasies involving men abducting and physically and sexually brutalizing women, who grow to enjoy their submissive state.

>>14388474
The Encyclopedia of Fantasy has stated that the first several books are "passable exercises" of Edgar Rice Burroughs style fiction while "later volumes degenerate into extremely sexist, sadomasochistic pornography involving the ritual humiliation of women, and as a result have caused widespread offence"

Next time the thread should have a better name/title/subject and have a better OP in general.

>>14383578

I checked out an open directory with a bunch of this kind of shit, and after realizing that western isekais were a marketable thing, came to this board to see if, by chance, there were nigs talking about them.

>>14383578
Japanese light novels are a million times better than these. There's something disgusting about the typical american male personality of the mc in these series.

>>14384050
Is the audience for this female, or gay? who wants to jack off to a man's voice?

>>14388650

Male. All the female characters are voice acted by different women. And so the sex scenes often sound like you're listening to a porno.

>>14388667

I know, right?

>>14388495

I'm glad you asked! Her name is Charm, she's an Alien Fox Girl Criminal-Turned-Superhero and she's the main heroine in Jamie Hawke's Supers: Ex Heroes series.

She's quite cute, and her voice actress in the Audiobooks nails the role. She's the only reason I haven't stopped reading this series honestly, she's too cute for me.

>>14384050
I might coom to this.

>>14389531
>>tfw no broad shouldered texan cultivator unleashing nine steer phantoms with each strike

Please elaborate. In great detail, preferably. This strikes my morbid curiosity.

I'm curious enough. If I read a single work in this genre what should I read?

>>14389574

Depends on what you want. I'd recommend Charm School Outcasts as a first read. It's short, harmless, and has cute lesbians in it.

The most recommended beginner xianxia is I Shall Seal The Heavens. It's decently above-average. That authors works are also pretty decent.

>>14390711
>I Shall Seal The Heavens
I dont see it on amazon. Coiling Dragon comes up though, is that it under a different name? There is a spanish edition of I Shall Seal The Heaven but its actually in german and product page says its under review for problems.

>>14390527
It's one of the best ones. It's too bad he is a furry, though.

The next best is Rise of the shadow rogue (no furry shit on this one). Then, there is
Daniel Black,
Centauri Bliss,
Dan the barbarian,
Most stuff by Edmund Hughes (except wind runner).

Stuff to avoid:
Everything in this pic >>14383913, everything by Logan Jacobs, Erik Vall and, most of all, Harmon Cooper.

>>14391318
>Stuff to avoid:
>Everything in this pic >>14383913, everything by Logan Jacobs, Erik Vall and, most of all, Harmon Cooper.
Whats wrong with those authors and the stuff in the anons picture he posted?

>>14391479

Eric Vall writes like a horny 13 year old who's never had sex. His smut reads like a novelization of your typical Porno Scene.

>>14391318
>Harmon Cooper.
How is he still even able to publish? His books are self insert pieces that reads like a first draft that he didn't even reread before publishing.

Any good litrpg gamelit whatever harem thats like 90% plot and 10% sex? Everything seems to be teenage boy porn tier sloppy writing for 50% of the book with the plot as a background to string sex scenes together. I dont mind the sex, or graphic sex but I want something more than just that.

Every time I've tried to read one of these books I've found that it reads like Fortnite looks.

>>14392264
I wasn't even aware that there were fortnite books.
Maybe write some of your own if you don't like what's out there.

>>14391479
I have yet to read anything by logan jacobs that's even mediocre. He writes competently, but that's as far as I'll go. Erik Vall wants to write smut, but never does. Honestly, I can't tell the two of them apart (except LJ actually writes some sex). Now, Harmon Cooper takes the prize. He self-inserts in the most terrible way possible. His main characters are all pathetic.

>>14392149
Same. There's some stuff out there that fits, but they are few compared to litrpg trash (I assume that's what you mean by vidya aesthetics).

>>14384490
I read some of his books, had no problem finding them for free on torrent sites, maybe you are just shit at it.

>>14384589
I thought these shitty genre was mostly selfpublished?

>>14391719
I honestly don’t know how people stomach him. It’s the worst sort of cringe. His writing is the worst kind of lifeless, and his female/male conversation dialogue is worse than Aleron Kong, where it feels like he’s never had a conversation with an actual woman.

Do you guys like Tamryn Tamer? I am curious to see how a woman writes litrpg with a male MC and all the sex.

>>14392646
Herald of shalia is pretty ok, as far as comedy/smut goes. It’s enjoyable enough.

These are my favorites. I rated them top to bottom, left to right. Not all of them are good, but I think most of them are worth a mention.

Noteworthy aspects:
My absolute favorite is Heartgem homestead, I just love it.
Mask of the template is very solid and well written.
Herald of Shalia is average, but the author is so masterful when doing dialogue I just had to give it some extra points. It's worth reading for the dialogue alone.
Ex-superheroes is the only superhero novel I've read worth anything.
Master of blood and shadow is really unknown, but it's a very good take on a darker harem setting.
Star druid's author has also written another good series, and his books are generally good.
The cleansing flame is by the same author as The Crimson Queen, an indie book that gained a lot of recognition. He decided to experiment on this one and wrote it in first person present tense.
The daily struggles of an immortal is just a past-time slice of life.
John Blake can be found for free on lit-erotica and it's the most porn of them all. Read it if you like inflation.
Fimbulwinter is average, but it's fun.
Same for Tamer, but you'll have to trudge through the first book, which is atrocious. The next books are much better.

>>14392646
It's a woman?

Herald of shalia is okay. The dialogue is the only thing worth mentioning, it's really really good.
>"They were both elves. You fucked and elf"
And it's great throughout all three books.

Any effort and time being wasted reading is going to be done reading serious stuff.

>>14386388
Incest.

It's an untapped market right now.

>>14383944
It's the best one, for sure.

I liked Sundered Soul a little bit too, though. Unfortunately, despite the plot allowing it, the author chickened out of writing romance with a legal loli. I'd give it 4 stars if he had done that.

that's weird, maybe you have the wrong version of the de-drm plugin or something or a version of the kindle pc app which is too new (you can only de-drm with older ones). I always sub to kindle unlimited for a month and then de-drm all the shit I want and then convert it to KFX and it works fine for me

>>14393253
k, I'll try the Heartgem one since it's their personal favorite.

>>14388460
Your Patreon will never amount to anything, just give up.

>>14393203
It is more of a slice of life. I liked it. You won't find much action in it, although there is some, but the interaction of the characters is good.

>>14393362
I just made a list on goodreads and set it to show up as thumbnails.

>>14393386
I like Daniel Black, but c'mon... I remember reading the first book and thinking, okay, when is stuff going to happen? He just spent like 50% of the book building a fucking wall (and trump wasn't even president).

Meanwhile, Heartgem homestead is done. And it's just fun. The characters are well developed and the story is engaging. There's one thing I don't like and it's the same throughout all of Edmund's books: the blue-balling from the main girls. I think Edmund has a cuckqueen fetish.

I didn't like windrunner or bloodmage.

I tried reading a few books here and they were worse than the translated light novels I've read. Christ.

>>14394759
You'll probably find that over the erotica section. Unfortunately, most of that stuff tend to be short stories instead of novels. Incest tends to be really hard to find on novels as well.

Breeding: the warlock novels by Rosier has a tiny bit of that. Beware the terrible grammar.
Milking: John Blake.
Incest: I think The Power by Nick Storming has incest, but I might be wrong and not could just be step-family instead.
Bsdm: Gor.

>>14395656
What books were those? They were probably shit.

>>14395661
Otherlife Dreams, Ancient Ruins, Morningwood and Swordsman of the Rift. Ancient Ruins was actually written a little bit competently and Morningwood has novelty that kept me awhile. I couldn't get done more than some pages of the other two.

>>14395691
Yeah, all shit. Avoid Darren if you want consistency and developed characters. Perhaps try Rise of the Shadow Rogue, it's one of the most normal fantasy that would still fit here, and it's pretty good.

>>14395721
I'll give it a try. I'm certainly interested in trashy wish fulfillment smut but in so far it just hasn't been, you know, good enough to overcome my pseudo intellectualism.

What if, what if you wrote in second person for maximum pandering?

>>14383952
You mean the elf on Metal Mage?

>>14383946
Not only is it blatant, but it's also complete shit. One of the most edgy books I've read, and I've read that night angel book.

>>14395800
>harem genre
>what do i have to include to not make it absolute trash?
it's hopeless anon

>>14395800
It'll still be trash but if you can write decently it might not be absolute trash. The quality of prose in these books tends to be bottom of the barrel.

>>14395803
can I at least try?

>>14395822
what if I spent five days 'creating' the world? it has very in-depth history and I have planned out for an open ending for the world of the book, while concluding most of the characters' stories. would detail and vision, or writing structure matter more?

>>14395800
A few things. Make sure your main character is not a doormat or a complete pussy. He doesn't have to be a chad, but if he starts out as weak, make sure he gets a proper character arc. Read Harmon Cooper and The Five Trials for example of what not to do.

Make sure you don't introduce more girls than you can develop. Two gets you into the genre, more than 4 gets a little crowded. Bad examples: Darren's wild wastes.

And the stuff that goes for normal books as well: make sure you have a story. I often see books with a good premise but no story. Either the author decided to ignore the premise, or he just spends his whole book write about inconsequential stuff only to have the book finish with no resolution. Introduction->Conflict->Resolution.

Also, make sure that if you write sex scenes, they don't come at inopportune times. You gotta build up that shit, or it's just wasted. It's better a fade to black than bad sex scenes. Bad example: this one book just came out called "The Cost of Being special", there is this one scene where one of the MCs friends gets her family killed and they go to their friends place to spend the night. The girl just lost all her family, but the MC is there in the other room having an orgy. There are many books that aren't so blatant but suffer from the same stuff. Don't interrupt an important flow of your story to write sex.

>>14395847
I predict it will go for 25-30 books at 170-175 A4 pages each. will that give me enough time to develop the characters? also, there will be no sex scenes. But i do plan on doing spin-offs on the descendents of the main character in the future.

>>14395883
>25-30 books
m8

>>14395833
Writing structure. If there's any truth to this in fantasy literature, it's much more true in fantasy erotica. Good writing contributes to hard boners, good world building not so much.

>>14393806
This is what I meant by the zoomer vidya aesthetic

>>14383578
I'm a perennialist after reading Guenon, so I'm kind of picky about my harem books. I prefer it to have muslims so that it doesn't contradict any exoteric Traditions. Anyone got any muslim stuff?

>>14395847

These are all good writing advices for this time of story.

It's important to have a Main Character who's at least somewhat grounded, but special and likable enough that you can believe that girls would like him. Note that just "Being Powerful, Handsome and Good in Bed" isn't an acceptable solution to this. He has to have character and charisma, and if he's already pornomancing bitches by the beginning nobody will like.

And speaking of them, the girls have to be unique and distinct from each other, but also written in a way that their relationships can be believable. Catfights can be fun but they get old fast, but on the contrary if all of them are completely and utterly willing to share the MC Cock, it will be equally as annoying. A good balance must be struck.

For the number of girls, I'd say that 3 to 5 is a good number. 7 or so as an absolute limit. More than that is practically impossible to develop. And definitely don't be afraid to spend time developing the relationships. The girls shouldn't be hopping on cock all on Book One.

>>14395657
Ill check these out, thanks

>>14383578
i liked this book but i was a little disappointed that the main character wasn't rene guenon

Anything where it takes place in the real world and not some medieval fantasy setting or space?

>>14397258

Succubus Lord by Eric Vall takes place in the Real World + Judeo/Christian Mythology. So Urban Fantasy.

But it's veeeeeeeeeery bad.

The world isn't ready for my loli futa succubus GameLit novel.

>>14397152
>i was a little disappointed that the main character wasn't rene guenon
Agreed. You can tell that they were building up to the reveal that it was Guenon, but they pussy footed out of it.

>>14391241
You can find lots of them on WuxiaWorld, Qidian, and NovelUpdates. This is a link to the epub I made from all of it's chapters:

Everything mention in this thread is bad. No one reads them for the story.

Because it's actually entertaining and not just pseudo-intellectual shit people pretend to read to sound big-brained?

Try wuxia, xuanhuan, xianxia genre if you like to see mc kill everybody who touch him(well at leat most of them are)

No, it's for Alpha Males who want a harem of catgirls, elves, etc. Sissies need not apply.

Why are the captchas on 4chan so awful lately? Always makes me do like 20 of them just to post, or sometimes it says I have suspicious activity and for trying so many times and locks me from doing captchas for a certain amount of time

What is going on, is it the same for you guys too?

You sure? I don't think these authors have the money to self-publish the audiobook versions. I've seen "Soundbooth Theater" publishing a number of these.

I'm sure there's a publisher that specializes in this type of trite.

>>14398821

Bruh. At first I thought that picture was just lazy design, but now I'm suspecting it might actually be straight up a photoshop collage of already existing artwork. Looking at the dude in the center of the pic, his head looks like it's glued on to his body, like they're both from different pictures.

World building. Oftentimes readers of these stories are looking for a way to insert themselves into the world; your world building should reflect that desire. In an obscure series of novels known as Harry Potter, the writer (a genius) decided to create three more or less antagonistic factions of students for readers to insert themselves into. We are still dealing with the fallout of that decision today. In reality a school would not want to foster such factionalism, as it would be equivalent to creating official gangs and lead to any number of problems! And in fact, in that series, it was a source of problems. Strange. But never the less, consider giving your reader the option to contemplate: if I were in this world, who would I be? Color coded gangs ("houses"), various sexy races, class-based magic, innate special abilities. All ripe for self-insert potential. Basically, build your world around self-insert potential. Give factions different characters, different reasons for being cool, different reasons for someone wanting to identify with them.

You forgot to mention appealing to the lowest possible sorts and writing at a grade school level. The most popular things are those that are at least mediocre for everyone and great for a lot.

>>14400548
I originally had a bit about writing, but it didn't sit right with me.

Writing in these series should be clear and direct. The target is mediocrity and nothing more or less. You are writing to entertain. No ten dollar words for the sake of showing off your extended vocabulary. No page-length digressions on subjects of no apparent relevance. No cut-rate philosophical monographs. No internal extended monologues from the MC where he methodically reasons out the logic of everything that is happening from his perspective. Good writers can do these things well.

That's not you. On the off chance it is you, you're not writing that novel anyway. The key to writing a entertaining novel is to stay in the moment. Don't go to the trouble of imagining a whole world and then have it play out inside your MCs head just because you have the first person perspective.

The reason I didn't include this 'advice' is because it's bad advice. Writers of trash novels have violated all of these rules and made bank. Nobody cares, it's just something I want. Civilizing trash novels seems like an easier play than convincing scifi novelists to write something entertaining intentionally.

The thread has been pretty successful, are we making another?
