Thanks for the breakdown. I spend a lot of time on RoyalRoad and am getting real tired of authors who don't seem to know anything about how people actually behave, and trying to ram their political anachronisms into everything.
Sadly the part about the subreddit is true. It's been getting worse lately too. As always small subreddits start out alright, and quickly get taken over.
I still sometimes go to the LitRPG subreddit, it's fun to see people shitting on books that aren't woke. It's a great way to get decent recommendations.
Still, and I can't stress this enough, most of these types of books are trash. Fun trash, but trash nonetheless. Specially from authors who got woke during or after writing a book, cause you can absolutely tell (forced use of neutral pronouns, LGBTQ+++ characters, over simplification of language, removing most if not all sources of interpersonal conflict that aren't woke, etc)
I found the information on this KU system intriguing. Can you share any details on how this business model is functional? I am wondering if the readers are exposed to ads while reading, or perhaps if it is a paid subscription service. For someone to be able to read a book for free but the author still gets paid, that sounds impossible.
You wrote a book? Can I ask the name?
Is it possible to buy your books in a way that doesn't reward Amazon and you get the full price?

Yo, when is the next book in the series meant to be out? I read number 1, I want the next one.

It's a Litrpg book! I might actually give this a try. I've been reading a few lately, some are quite fun and others... Well not as much haha.
