Thanks for all the feedback on the last chapter :) I'm probably going to rework the "bike chase" scene, but the end result will be the same. Don't worry, I'm not trying to arbitrarily make Juliet lose her new bike.

Erd’s “coach” was a rune-inscribed brass-colored globe the size of a small sedan that floated two feet off the ground. When he tapped a matching brass rod against its side, it rota...

With her knees still jittery from the adrenaline rush of the fight, Juliet approached the dimly lit secret doorway. She smelled something odd, like a hot, steamy bleach in the air, and wrinkled her nos...
2024-01-31 20:11:29 +0000 UTC View PostI know this is getting weird. I hope it's not boring; I realize this is a litRPG, and people want to see numbers go up, and so far, there's been very little of that in book 7. I have plans, obviously, but it's taking me a while to get there.

Not to spoil today's chapter, but if anyone's wondering after reading this, no, I don't intend for this to turn into some kind of harem story. No, I'm not going to write explicit scenes.
