LitRPG


So, I was reading Reddit . . . (how many conversations started this way?) and someone linked to something in Good Reads and I was curious, so I clicked on the link.  I forget what the conversation was about because my mind exploded as soon as I saw the book.  I read the reviews and I searched Wikipedia and then my mind exploded.  LitRPG.  I did not know that this was a thing.  I had been doing it for years, but I never thought it was a thing.  My latest RPG that I was running is being then transcribed by me into a format by me that fits the description of this form of art.  Art?  Literature?  Well people are reading it and people are buying it so it must mean that it is both and people are, I assume, making a living off of it, so maybe it is a way that I can get published as a author.  Get my world Out There.  I have not even read any of this literature yet.  I am not sure that I will.  The one that the reddit pointed to was called Morningwood, and the reviews made me realise that high art it was not, filled with teenage male Incel wrought boys that describe women’s uses limited to their bust size and used the literature to masturbate to.  This was not good literature, but it might have room for better stuff.  Who knows?
