Hope can be a source of strength, but when it fails to deliver what I want, I’ve found a good degree of stubbornness to be an appropriate substitute.

Hello! I just noticed that you also like the Arcane Ascension novels. It's nice seeing someone else who's into them.
Yes! Andrew Rowe is quickly becoming a favorite of mine! He was my introduction to the LitRPG genre and I’ve been hooked since. I’ve been listening to the audiobook versions of all his series because a gentleman named Nick Podehl does the narration for them. He’s great at making the different characters feel like characters. I sometimes forget it’s just one guy doing all the narration. I’m having fun with it and it seems like an underrated series.

Book Review – How To Defeat A Demon King in 10 Easy Steps
The Story:
The world is being taken over by the newest generation of Demon King and everything good is perishing. As everyone waits for the 100 year marker to reveal the next Great Hero, the one individual who can save everyone from certain doom. However, tried of waiting for just a hero to save the day, a young bag mage takes on the quest of saving the world. Even though she isn’t the hero and isn’t in the hero class, Yui Shaw heads out on a grand quest to accomplish the impossible. Her 10 steps to achieve saving the world is her only hope and just might help her survive if she sticks to her plan. It’s time gather your party, gain those experience points, level up your classes, and learn some new spells! And hope that we are strong enough to take on the bosses.
Key Elements:
Science Fiction, Fantasy, Gaming, Adventure, RPG
Have you ever played a RPG (Roll-playing game) before? Some game that is similar to Skyrim or World of Warcraft. If I could embody these games into a fun, lighthearted story this would be the book. I was a bit hesitant at first when I realized what the author was attempting and didn’t see how someone could actually write about a person leveling up and working on quests essentially; however, I was very surprised. I felt that Andrew Rowe did a very nice job at creating a strong balance of gaming jargon and a relatable story to keep the reads involved. I have not run across a story that incorporated a leveling system and class skills before this book. And being that I am a gamer, I was able to picture just how some of the mechanics would work and the ‘pop-up’ screens would be functioning during the game.
There were moments that I was having a hard time trying to figure out how I should be reading the story. I couldn’t decided in some situations if I should be seeing these characters as real people or simply characters that people are playing in a game. I feel that a little part of that is supposed to be the charm of the story. Always keeping you on your toes and making you think about what is in a game and what isn’t; however, having some key phrases and random jumps with the story bounce between a person or a player threw me off. It kept me from really getting full into the story because I was trying to figure it out during some chapters.
I would say that if you are not much of a gamer or at least haven’t played something that involves a skill and level grinding process, this book probably isn’t the best option for you. Rowe does rely a little on his readers to have at least a base knowledge of how some properties work in a game environment. Don’t get me wrong, he does a fantastic job at describing some of the advanced spells, or fights. But with a gaming background, I feel that I was able to appreciate the story a bit more and fill in some of the blanks that are created.

Anybody ever read war of broken mirrors or weapons and wielders?
They’re great books with one of the most creative magic systems I’ve ever seen but I’ve never actually seen anyone say a single word about the books online.
I’ve never found a series of books like the two previously mentioned that can accomplish such an immersive magic system but they’ve got COMPLETELY UNNOTICED! And it makes me so mad.

I've recently bought (and finished) the arcane Ascension series, and was looking through Tumblr for some other fans of the series to follow, and kept seeing references to a server, presumably on discord. Is it a public server for fans? If so, I'd quite like to join to talk with other people about these books, if that's okay.
Hi! So glad to have another fan on Tumblr, most of the poeple stick to the discord server. Which is fair, because it's an amazing place!
The Climbers Court is the Official Andrew Fan Server (or as close to it as it gets, given how Rowe himself is in it and makes the occasional appearance), and it is public! Here is the link, which can also be accessed through Rowe's website.
I hope to see you in there soon!

Welcome to my Page!
Jack of many trades, master of not enough I think.
Hi, I'm Sapphire, and I am Sapphic. Aside from being transgender and loving women, I enjoy a great many things including (in no particular order):
Randomizers & Speedrunning
I stream twice a week-ish at twitch.tv/SapphireSapphic
Video Games in General
I play a pretty wide variety of games outside of streaming, although my favorite genres tend to be RPGs and Roguelikes.
Books
Current Hyperfixations include Animorphs and Andrew Rowe's Acane Ascension-verse. I usually listen to audiobooks, and most of them tend to fall into either YA Action/Adventure or Sapphic Romance.
Linguistics
I've been studying Japanese for about 5 years, and I'm dabbling in a few other languages as well. Being a polyglot is a big life goal for me.
Martial Arts
I practiced for a good 6/7 years and I'm looking to get back into it.
Music
I listen mostly to J-Rock and J-Pop, but I'm open to a pretty wide variety of stuff. Favorite Artists Include: Eve, Frederic, Tally Hall
I'll update this post more as I grow more familiar with Tumblr!

Thinking about Corin as transmasc bc of course I am. And like. It works. All his issues(tm) line up very well with being trans.
But also there’s no way Magnus Cadence would allow/accept a trans kid. Like. Even if those who take after Wyd are like. Commonly accepted. Magnus is the kind of bitch that would be an asshole about it.
#I’ve decided to post this bc I need people to be mentally I’ll with me#arcane ascension#sufficiently advanced magic#Corin Cadence#Andrew Rowe#transmasc#idk what to tag this I do not make original posts ever

(*slides onto main with my niche progression fantasy book fandom*) listen why I’ve become so gay for thelys after eotw is just like. the AA1 flashback shows therin sacrificing herself for ria and the others. she tells them to go, to run, and she faces vaelien alone. (and for the first and last time, she falls.) that was there before eotw, and I assumed, to stay as close to our therin crumbs as possible, that it meant therin was dutiful and serious and kind and selfless, a guardian, a protector. (and she loved ria selys. that was never in doubt.)
and then I read eotw, and the smiling sword saint happened, this beautiful piece of shit with sharp words and uncaringly rough edges and the capacity to tear apart a landmass with a motion of her lips, who was glad to hear that she ended in a two-sun blaze of glory, who was eager for a good fight and fully confident she would win because she always does. because there are blades in her breath and in her skin.
and she wielded a sword with a handle of white stone. she never transitioned from the body she was born in, the one she shouldn’t have had. the sword of her rival-killer was marked with golden runes for every life it took. he stood in part shadow.
so she was therin.
and that changed things. that meant that this fucking asshole was the person who stayed behind and gave her life to give the people she cared about a chance. this was the person who held ria close and ran her fingers through her hair. this was who loved her.
#tldr: augh fuck i love that therin APPEARED and got CHARACTERIZATION#but i love her like im really gay#also awesome trans rep in eotw i died#therin#thelys#the lost edge#edge of the woods spoilers#just in case lmao#arcane ascension#anyway if anyone actually sees this and has no idea what i’m talking about other than lesbians#read sufficiently advanced magic and the silence of unworthy gods and read edge of the woods.#no there is no context. yes there are two whole books between sam and tsoug. they are all by#andrew rowe#i’m adding ‘write a fic for them’ to my to-do list. it is one of many fic ideas i suddenly am having and needing to write.#they are all going after ‘homework’. no i don’t like it either but what can you do

Andrew Rowe had a great solution to this in his books: Resh. He defines it as "hot pile of garbage" or something after the first use but he uses it as a substitute for fuck shit and damn. Works very well.
Everyone. Please. Write "fuck." "Damn." "Shit." "Motherfucker." Don't fucking censor. Don't write f*** when you mean fuck. Let's not encourage censorship. Let's recognize when we are participating in censorship and self-censorship. You don't have to censor your words on tumblr. You don't have to censor your stories on AO3. Please. Please. Write out the word "fuck."
If you personally don't like the word? Then there's no need to write it. If you are writing a story and you know the character curses and you don't feel comfortable writing it? Write "Character cursed." No reason to disrupt the writing, infantalize the writing, and create an ugly piece of work by writing "Character said, 'F***!'"
We can all handle the word "fuck." Please, please, just write out "fuck." I don't know what you're trying to get out of "f***" but I promise, it's not going to have the effect you want. If you really hate the word "fuck," feel free to be creative and insert another fun word. Anything but "f***."
