What My First LitRPG Series Is About
Right now I’m calling it DATWD. Once the first book is published, I’ll update this page with the full title.
At its core, the series is about survival under pressure: humans taken from Earth, trapped inside a hostile system, and forced to navigate danger, scarcity, and layered rules they don’t fully understand. Actions have consequences, survival has a cost, and every advantage has to be earned.
What Kind Of Stories I Write
I write survival-focused LitRPG shaped by complex systems, long-form storytelling, and real consequences.
My stories are interested in what happens when people are forced to live inside difficult structures: systems, hierarchies, constraints, and environments that push back. That includes conflict, but also planning, negotiation, adaptation, and the long grind of survival.
What I Mean By ‘LitRPG’
For me, LitRPG means stories shaped by game-like systems: structured rules, measurable development, constraints, and progression that materially affect what characters can do and how they survive.
I’m most interested in LitRPG where the systems are not decorative. They influence choices, risks, hierarchy, and the direction of the story itself.
How Systems Work In My Fiction
I’m drawn to systems that feel coherent and consequential. In my fiction, systems aren’t there just to display numbers. They shape opportunity, pressure, and survival over time.
That doesn’t mean every mystery is explained immediately. Part of the tension comes from characters learning what kind of system they are inside, how it functions, and what it demands of them.
How I Use Generative AI
I use AI as a support tool for planning, outlining, brainstorming, and refining blog material. A few blog images may also be AI-generated.
I don’t use AI to write the fiction itself. The stories, characters, worldbuilding, and prose are my own work. I sometimes use AI to help with word choice, revision questions, or flow, but I maintain my own voice.
For me, AI is a tool for thinking and organization, not a ghostwriter and not a replacement for my brain.
