Status of Book 3
Book Three is in the works, but things are progressing more slowly than I would like. I found a significant issue with the plot early in the book which is requiring a massive amount of rewrites. The book is long enough to release now, but I'm of the mind that quality takes time but mediocrity lasts forever.
So I'm fixing it, and it's going to get done when it gets done. Hopefully, that won't be too terribly long, however. December is still possible... but I'm not confident in that. In any case, I will release the book when I'm satisfied with the quality of the plot and humor. Nothing less than the highest quality fart jokes will be tolerated.
I can tell you it involves a castle, Grebthar day, and of an angry shoulder-mounted demon.

Ryan, keep up the great work! I was already on the lit RPG train, but the humor of this series, in my experience, has so far topped it all. Since I spent more time with audio, as I'm typically meth-level busy, I had the pleasure to listen to book 1 and 2 on audible. Please don't lose your narrator, he absolutely nails Jim and Shart, at least for me. There are way to many times that books have a narrator who is either painfully bland, or has such terrible pronunciation, that I am made to wonder how they ever managed to blindly stumble into such a profession. Back on topic, I spent a week, looking like stabbing in-que, with the number of times I randomly burst into anything ranging from chuckles to hysterical laughter. Put simply, I approve. Eagerly awaiting book 3.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed the audio-book for book 2. Excited to see what happens next. :)
ReplyDeleteSir! You take all the time you need, haha. Couldn't put your books down and binged then both in a couple days. We're just looking forward to what comes next!
ReplyDeleteI've gone through ~80 audio books this year and Noobtown competes with series like Arcane Ascension and Wraith's Haunt. If you release a half-ass book I'll relegate you to the same folder as Nightlord.
ReplyDeleteDon't be a Nightlord.
nightlord book 8 is amazing. The last book was just a bit weird
DeleteHi Ryan! Thank you for your Noobtown series! The audiobook versions are an absolute delight and you've made me laugh many many times on the way to and from work (Shart is ♥). I know writing is hard, so thank you for expending the effort. I can't wait for book 3!!!
ReplyDeleteLoved your choice of narrator.
ReplyDeleteHow long after the release of the 3rd book do you expect it to be out on audible?
Agreed Jonhathan McClain does an excellent job. Looking forward to the next book in the series
DeleteYour series is easily one of my favorite litRPG series (if not my favorite.) take the time you need don’t feel the need to rush. Can’t wait for book 3. Keep killin it.
ReplyDeleteI hope the new year finds you well Ryan! I am looking forward to book 3! Keep up the good work! :-)
ReplyDeleteBook 1 had me laughing, and intrigued. Book 2 had tears in my eyes and super interested in where the story was going. Looking forward to book 3 and many more!
ReplyDeleteLoved the series so far, very refreshing to see an mc that isnt either locked in a single class, or punished for any flexibility, but also isnt op, everyone seems to either have an op mc, or not a very flexible class system. Granted, no game really has a flexible class system, you can be whatever you want maybe, but you will be punished if its not focused, unlike the pure genius that you have managed to build IMO, take your time and keep kicking ass, appreciate the hard work.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed the first two tremendously. Keep up the awesome work.
ReplyDeleteHey just wanted to say I've read from about 7 different authors doing litrpg and i look forward to your next book more than any of them
ReplyDeleteHi Ryan, I am currently working my way through book 2 on audiobook, Fecking Pumas, and thoroughly enjoying it. JM is a great narrator, so dry. The humor of your series and the fact that the writing style doesn't take itself too seriously has been great. I hope the writing is progressing well on book 3 and your enjoying thr process. I honestly wonder where you get all the one liners and snarky jokes from : ) Keep it coming!
ReplyDeleteIs there any update on when book might be released?
ReplyDeleteI've past your books countless times in the store..Which I regret whole heartedly. The humor in your book has has laughing wildly in public as I read.
ReplyDeleteKeep this style up, its wonderful.
Finished book 1 yesterday and instantly purchased/started book 2.
ReplyDeleteLoving the story and really appreciate the lack of harem which is a blight on the Litrpg scene (in my personal opinion). Glad to hear book 3 is in the works and happy to wait as long as it takes 👍
Any update on release date? There are obviously literally dozens of us looking forward to reading the third book!
ReplyDeleteTake your time, quality matters, it's why we're here. Love your books, the world you made, and the characters that inhabit them.
ReplyDeleteLoved Book 1 and 2. Hubby thought i was mental when the bar dance scene started until i made him rewatch the movie to get a clue. OMG please release alot more and pay the narrator on audible versions whatever blood offering or first born he needs to keep him happy. He is amazing.
ReplyDelete<-- THIS!! Couldn't agree more!
Deleteis there to be a book 4 in the series? I have really enjoyed what I read so far
ReplyDeleteLoved the story so far I truly hope more books are coming
ReplyDeleteI was hesitant to give this series a try but I am so glad that I did. These books have some great humor and Jim's relationship with his "companions" is the best. I am just starting book 3 but I am already excited to know when book 4 is coming out. Ummm... there will be a book 4 right? Kingdom of the Noobs? Army of the Noobs? Oh Oh... Invasion of the Noobs.
ReplyDeleteGreat job on your books brother.
ReplyDeleteI just powered through all 3 books..LOVED them. Heheh so whens the next???
ReplyDeleteLoved all three! looking forward to lots more. Thanks
ReplyDeleteGreetings from Denmark! We just finished all three of your books on Audible and we loved them!! The dynamic between Shart, Badgelor and Jim is just amazing and made us laugh! Have you started the next book yet? My husband got so upset when we finished book 3 and he realized that there are no more books in the series yet haha. Keep up the good work (y)!
ReplyDeleteyou still with us, or did the virus throw you off. any word on your Next book
