Alternate download for the non-Apple user. Edit: There's also a .pdf and .epub version on lulu.com. It's a better .pdf than smashwords, if that's your preferred format. Far as I know, both .epubs work fine. Haven't tested Kindle yet. Let me know if it works
Edit 2: And we're up on Amazon
They don't allow you to set the price to zero though, so it's 0.99
I agree with you that US and South Korean should NEVER sign the peace treat until North Korea makes some major progresses on denuclearization and Moon administration has been repeatedly saying that since he took the office. I am not sure where is the disconnection?
Even tho you don't believe nuclear war could happen on Korean soil, but a lot of Korean experts, ex-CIA directors, and US policy makers believe there are about 20% to 30% chance that we might have 1-day nuclear war on Korean peninsular due to miss calculation/judgement and I believe their expert opinions.
There is also a new book that describes one case of 1-day nuclear Korean war due to miss-judgement.

There are two Vampire series that get a complete pass on the whole vampire loving someone.
and Bill The Vampire
Both series are comedy with inept vampires who are fairly new to the game.
Orcanomics is great, and I think would be a good fit for what you are looking for - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00O2NDJ2M
I've had a few reviewers compare my stuff to STP, (he is easily my favorite author too) - First book is Level Up - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079JFM67F
Yes, I've been an avid reader since I learned how to read, this was a passion that my mother passed on to me. My favorite book of all time is probably The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy. I'm not sure I could pick a single comic-book or series that would be my all-time favorite.
I love a lot of the same books that you do (especially Discworld, Andy Weir, and Hitchikers!)
I write very lighthearted stuff that might be something you'd like. It's called the One Up series and contains both Fantasy and Sci-Fi books.
First book is called Level Up - https://mybook.to/LevelUpCA
Another book you might like is Orcanomics by J Pike, which reminds me a lot of Terry Pratchett - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00O2NDJ2M
The Forward collection.
A COLLECTION OF NEW STORIES FROM
VERONICA ROTH BLAKE CROUCH N. K. JEMISIN AMOR TOWLES PAUL TREMBLAY ANDY WEIR
Six visionary writers explore the far-reaching effects of tech breakthroughs. For some, it’s the end of the world. For others, it’s just the beginning.
It appears that an Illustrated Edtion of the first book is also on sale for $2.99

You remind me of one of the characters from Year Zero: A Novel. Specifically, the following excerpts where he's trying to communicate vital information to the protagonists.
There was a slight disturbance in the room. It was…a flicker of light? A whisper of sound? Microscopic sparks?
He was doing something incredibly inconspicuous that we could barely catch out of the far corners of our eyes.
He was standing in a blinding spotlight about a foot away from us, screaming into a deafening megaphone, and waving a magnesium signal flare.
Orconomics is definitely D&D inspired. The author even refers to himself as a former basement-dwelling fantasy gamer in his bio.

There's actually a novel called The 2020 Commission about a hypothetical nuclear exchange between the US and North Korea and one of the plot points is that a North Korean nuke misses DC and lands on Arlington. Read it while I was still living in Clarendon.
Another suggestion other than the three you listed would be Orconomics, maybe? It is lighthearted and fun, which is what I need after an emotionally charged series.
https://www.amazon.com/Orconomics-Satire-Dark-Profit-Saga-ebook/dp/B00O2NDJ2M
Also, Going Postal is one of my go-to novels for when I need the book equivalent of delicious comfort food. It is just pure fun.

I bought full Forward collection on Amazon.com.
But if some kindle store does not support grouping, shouldn't all books be visible in the library anyway (i.e. separately)?
Vainqueur The Dragon might fit your bill. Hapless thief accidentally reveals the nature of the class-and-level system to a dragon.
The dragon, being a dragon, is absolutely pissed that adventurers are being paid tons of gold to do what he already does for free; that is, save princesses and kill lots and lots of monsters. Of course, dragons "save" princesses so they can keep them for themselves (showing off your collection of live princess is quite the status symbol among dragonkind), and the mass-killing of monsters is basically just a dragon eating his lunch.

Try Vainqueur the Dragon. It's an almost satirical take of the litRPG/Isekai genre. I've copied the blurb below:
>Vainqueur Knightsbane is your average dragon: a giant, fire-breathing lizard who loves to take naps on his golden hoard, kidnap princesses for fun, and make the life of adventurers miserable. Vainqueur's only pleasure in life is to watch his treasure get bigger, one coin at a time.
>
>So when a would-be thief turned unwilling minion tells him about "classes," "levels," and "quests," Vainqueur wonders if maybe, just maybe, he should consider a career change.
>
>After all, why bother hunting monsters for free when you can get paid for it?
It is HILARIOUS! The 'would-be thief turned unwilling minion' eventually starts liking the dragon then goes, "OMG, I have Stalkholmes Syndrom!" Read it, and find out why the rich always win!

The 2020 Commission Report on the North Korean Nuclear Attacks Against the United States: A Speculative Novel
by Jeffrey Lewis
Shit goes down while they're at Mar-a-lago. It discusses the actual setup they use there (not all the people that travel with the president can stay at maralago) and the implications of not having everyone immediately accessible.
https://www.amazon.com/Commission-Report-Nuclear-Attacks-Against-ebook/dp/B079VDR6HM
(Disclaimer: As a novel, it was mediocre. But its loaded to the gills with actual information [with citations] and I actually learned a bunch.)
[Free] Greegs & Ladders: An Incredible Journey Through Space And Time
https://www.amazon.com/Greegs-Ladders-Incredible-Journey-Through-ebook/dp/B00DPQFATM
There's a really good book by Jeffrey Lewis who works the arms control and nuclear nonproliferation industry... it's written as an after action report detailing how a tweet by Trump leads to a nuclear exchange with North Korea... given the personalities of Trump and Kim Jong Un it is disturbingly plausible.
https://www.amazon.com/Commission-Report-Nuclear-Attacks-Against-ebook/dp/B079VDR6HM
You need to read this book. It's ridiculous (on his travels to the far east he masters the martial art of Jew-Jitsu) but it also has a lot of legitimate information on life in first-century Judea.
So even The Goblin Emperor (great book, btw) is rather unique for trad publishing. It's rare in fantasy for that kind of fantasy of manners to get commercial and critical acclaim. I imagine because it's really hard to do well - if you pull it off it's genius, but a small misstep and it becomes a boring slog. I actually haven't read Becky Chambers, but I believe it's somewhat of a satire / humorous, right? Check out Zach Pike's Orconomics. Brilliant self published fantasy satire, and it has done very well.

A very well-done fantasy book that comes to the attention of the community will sell, even if it's indie and not in the Amazon-hot genres of LitRPG, Reverse Harem, or Cultivation / Progression. The hotter the subgenre, the less polished the book has to be to sell. But the market is vast and all types of readers are on Amazon and buying self-published fantasy books.
That said, if you want to make a living out of this it's obviously better to find a hot subgenre that you can churn out books in quickly. But you can make this business work in other ways, too.
The Forward Series, it's free on amazon prime reading, it's a collection of several short stories - each one written by a different author. I find the series is similar to black mirror - each one involves a bit of sci-fi/technology futuristic type stuff.. fun reads.

I wouldn't pay $1.99 each or even the $5.94 for the bundle of 6 (not good enough to offset the length to make it worth the $$$) but https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07WK7PVFT
​
EDIT: Looking now, not seeing the $5.94 bundle, but I remember seeing it last night. *shrug*
In that vein, I cannot recommend this book enough: Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal
If you liked it, you should also check out Good Omens also by Neil Gaiman (And Terry Pratchett).
My username is named after a character in Good Omens
I bought a book called Orconomics off of the $5 Audible sale. Looks like an interesting take on a WOW type World. Haven't listened yet though.
https://www.amazon.com/Orconomics-Satire-Dark-Profit-Saga-ebook/dp/B00O2NDJ2M
Orconomics is great.
There's a novel called Year Zero with a roughly similar plotline
I just finished a book called Orconomics and it was incredible. Also, it's only 3$ on kindle.
