Lit RPG: The Origins, The Inheritance, and Other Things
This is long, so table of contents: The Origin of LitRPG As everyone knows by now, I’m a massive Solo Leveling fan. I’ve read the manhwa before the anime was ever announced and then reread it several times. Right now, with the anime release on Crunchyroll (we are up to 2 seasons), it is enjoying

Grace Draven and Black Hellebore
It’s no secret that Grace Draven is one of the best writers of modern fantasy romance. I could talk about her books all day.
