Hello everyone!
On the Shoulders of Titans, the sequel to Sufficiently Advanced Magic, is finally completed and available on Kindle!
You can find it here.
The paperback edition is almost completed. I expect it’ll only be about another week or two. The audio book edition will take considerably longer. This is because the audio narrator will need to find time in their schedule to record it now that the book is finished. This could take a number of months; it depends on the narrator’s availability, as well as the amount of time it takes in post-production, etc. I’m extremely excited to hear what everyone thinks of the new book. Thank you all for the support!
Best,
-Andrew Rowe
Hey all!
<strong>Sufficiently Advanced Magic</strong>, the first book in my Arcane Ascension series, is currently on sale on the US Kindle store for 1.49.
Sadly, it only appears to be for the US store right now. (Amazon is the one that put it on sale, not me.)
For those of you who haven't heard of the book, Sufficiently Advanced Magic is a love letter to Japanese RPGs ("JRPGs") like Final Fantasy, Bravely Default, Tower of Druaga, Tales of Symphonia, Fire Emblem, and Azure Dreams. It also has similarities to some shonen anime, most notably Hunter x Hunter.
The content of the book is split between dungeon crawling sections - some solo, some with a small group - and sections where the central protagonist is learning magic at a magical academy.
The series has a heavy focus on learning the rules of magic and how to exploit them. As such, there's a tremendous amount of magic system detail, which may not be fun for everyone. If you enjoy trying to figure out how a magic system can be used in creative ways, you might like this sort of thing. If you tend to prefer more whimsical and open-end magic, it's probably not for you.
(This self-promotion post was pre-approved by moderators.)
Six Sacred Swords is my first book in the new Weapons and Wielders series. The story follows Keras Selyrian, a talented swordsman who begins a journey to seek out the titular Six Sacred Swords. The story is heavy inspired by Japanese adventure and role-playing games, such as Final Fantasy, Bravely Default, and Ys. This one in particular is most strongly inspired by The Legend of Zelda, and you'll see some obvious Zelda influences in there if you're a fan of the franchise.
This is much more of a adventure focused book than most of my previous novels, with most of the story involving exploring dangerous uncharted wildernesses and dungeons. It's also a smaller scale story in terms of the size of the cast and the focus - it's more about an individual adventure than something of world-scale importance. (At least for now.)
This book takes place in the same setting as <strong>Sufficiently Advanced Magic</strong>, but years earlier. You can read the series in either order. Notably, Sufficiently Advanced Magic is currently on sale for 0.99 on the US and UK Kindle stores to celebrate the launch of Six Sacred Swords. If you're trying to figure out where to start, Six Sacred Swords is more of an adventure with characters that are already very powerful, and Sufficiently Advanced Magic is better if you're in the mood to start with younger characters that are coming of age and just learning magic.
Thanks to /r/fantasy for the amazing support you've always given my books, and feel free to post if you have any questions!
Hey all! <strong>Sufficiently Advanced Magic</strong> is the first book in my Arcane Ascension series, and it's currently on sale for $1.49 in the US Kindle store.
The sequel, <strong>On the Shoulders of Titans</strong>, just came out earlier this week, so it's a great time to pick it up if you're interested.
For those of you who aren't familiar, Sufficiently Advanced Magic is a mix between a dungeon crawler novel and a magical school story. It focuses on Corin Cadence learning magic and attempting to climb the Serpent Spire, a colossal tower that his brother vanished into five years before.
Stylistically, the series is heavily inspired by Japanese role-playing games like Final Fantasy, Fire Emblem, the Tales series, and The Legend of Zelda. The magic system is strongly inspired by the job class system in some of the Final Fantasy games and Bravely Default.
This means the story deliberately includes a lot of game-like elements, but explains them within the context of the setting. So you'll see justifications for things like respawning monsters, ever-changing dungeons, and analogues to character classes and leveling up.
If you like game-like fiction, you might enjoy this. If you tend to prefer for your magic to be more mystical and unexplained, you probably will not like this book. There's a huge emphasis on learning the rules of magic and figuring out tricks with them, which isn't for everyone.
Thanks to everyone who has supported my books so far, and I hope anyone who checks the books out enjoys them!
I enjoyed <em>Wearing the Cape</em>, which feels like it does a realistic job of integrating heroes into modern society. Prior to reading Worm I'd have put this forward as the most realistic superpowered media I'd read/watched.
Some minor examples:
All the costumes (other than PR-appearance only costumes) include body armor, and even though she's a classic "flying brick" the protagonist has a costume with heavy defensive plates.
Planes have clearly marked points to indicate where someone with superflight should lift them, should the need arise.
heroes have no special legal powers, but will regularly assist police. No-knock warrants against supervillains are raising legal concerns, and the "I was mind controlled by the real villian" defense is causing chaos in the legal system.
One of the more important things a superhero team does is remain visible and build positive press to prevent public opinion turning on supers when villains cause problems. Rescuing cats stuck in trees is actually a pretty important duty, and having someone with excellent PR skills (either superpowered or otherwise) is essential to every team.
Superstrong is good. Superstrong with an oversized tungsten maul is better.
Hey all,
I know some of you enjoyed <strong>Sufficiently Advanced Magic</strong> and have been waiting for the sequel to come out on audible. It's out today!
If you're not already familiar with the series, my Arcane Ascension books aren't full-on LitRPGs. Instead, they're more of an epic fantasy series that takes place in a world that runs on RPG-like mechanics (but those mechanics are treated as a normal part of that world and integrated into society). There are no "players" from our world, and it's not actually in a video game - it's just a fantasy world that runs on game-like physics.
For example, there are gigantic dungeons with respawning monsters and treasure, but those are explained from an in-universe perspective and integrated into the local society and culture. Similarly, there are analogues to character classes called "attunements" that can be leveled up over time - but the levels are generally measured based on the color of your aura, rather than a numeric value. (Measurements for things like mana levels do exist, though, and they're plot relevant).
All and all, it's a game-like world, but not quite what most people would call a LitRPG.
Anyway, if you're in the mood for that sort of thing, feel free to take a look, and I hope you enjoy it!
Saw someone mention my book here earlier and I remembered that some people in the subreddit might be interested.
For those of you who aren't already familiar, Sufficiently Advanced Magic is a novel with a mix between dungeon crawling and time spent learning magic at an academy.

Hey all!
<strong>Sufficiently Advanced Magic</strong> is the first book in my Arcane Ascension series, a novel series inspired by Japanese role-playing games (e.g. Final Fantasy, Bravely Default, Lufia, Fire Emblem, etc.) and similar anime.
It's told from the perspective of Corin Cadence, a seventeen year old who is seeking to climb the Serpent Spire, a colossal structure filled with monsters and traps. His primary goal is to find his brother, Tristan, who disappeared into the spire five years before.
To do this, he'll need to learn magic, and find all the help he can get.
The content of the novel is split between dungeon crawling sections in the spire (and other locations) and Corin learning magic at a university. As a fair warning, the magic system discussion gets extremely detailed. My style is to try to make sure that all of the spells, items, etc. the main character uses to solve his problems appear to be properly explained in advance. This type of style doesn't appeal to everyone.
Due to the JRPG inspiration, the magic and the setting come across as very RPG-like. This is deliberate; my intent was to draw from RPG tropes and create a setting where these tropes are organically integrated into the setting in ways that make sense. This isn't going to appeal to every reader, either.
If you're still reading and interested, you can check the book out here!
Hiya all,
<strong>On the Shoulders of Titans</strong>, the sequel to <strong>Sufficiently Advanced Magic</strong>, is currently on sale on the US and UK Kindle stores. Due to how Kindle Countdown Deals work, unfortunately it isn't available on any other stores.

Hey all,
<strong>Sufficiently Advanced Magic</strong>, the first book in my Arcane Ascension series, is currently on sale for 0.99 on the US and UK Kindle stores.
The Arcane Ascension series focuses on a group of magical university students who are training for military service and entering colossal dungeons called "Spires". Our central protagonist, Corin Cadence, has a personal reason for wanting to do this - his brother, Tristan, disappeared into the Serpent Spire five years ago and never returned.
The series focuses on a mix of learning magic at a university and dungeon crawling. It's strongly inspired by anime and Japanese RPGs like Final Fantasy, Bravely Default, Ys, Lufia, and Azure Dreams.
This sale is also a part of my launch celebration for my latest book, <strong>Six Sacred Swords</strong>, which takes place in the same universe at an earlier period of time. That book focuses on Keras Selyrian, a veteran swordsman from another continent, searching for the legendary Six Sacred Swords. It's similar in style to the above, but a little more adventure focused, and the protagonists are powerful characters from the start.
So are you looking for a LitRPG where respawns are available? Such as Dakota Krout's Completionist Chronicles?
The If you die in the game, you die for real trope is usually added because the author wants to raise the stakes and add tension to the story that wouldn't otherwise be there if dying had a low cost. It works in Krout's book because it's a more lighthearted story, though even then he struggles with ways to make deaths costly for the characters, and much of the tension for deaths comes from the fact that NPC's can die permanently.
> It is extremely obvious the MC is going to live...
The same could be said of virtually every book across all genres. Main characters tend to survive until the end of the story. Exceptions to this rule are rare and usually only happen when you have dozens of POV characters. And even then you want some core group to survive to the end. Most LitRPG's follow a single main character, and in such a story format it would be suicide to kill off your main character mid-story. Just because the character is going to survive however does not mean they will do so without the threat of death or some similar fate looming over them. Hence the need to add tension to the story by making failure a greater possibility for the protagonist. We know that the protagonist is going to overcome this obstacles and succeed, as that is part of the story promise, but there should still be the thread of failure.
I actually find it somewhat intriguing that you find stories that take this approach to be more boring than stories that allow for respawns, because in my experience the chief complaint I see from books that go for a very gaming-like experience is that the story is boring and dull because the stakes are too low.
That's very kind of you!
All my books are on there. The most popular one is <strong>Sufficiently Advanced Magic</strong>. It's a RPG inspire magical academy novel. If you like detailed magic systems and an emphasis on people studying the rules of magic, you might like it!

You are looking for the newish genre LitRPG. A tremendous example of which is Sufficiently Advanced Magic by Andrew Rowe on here as /u/salaris
Here is the blurb from GoodReads.com: >Five years ago, Corin Cadence’s brother entered the Serpent Spire — a colossal tower with ever-shifting rooms, traps, and monsters. Those who survive the spire’s trials return home with an attunement: a mark granting the bearer magical powers. According to legend, those few who reach the top of the tower will be granted a boon by the spire’s goddess.
>He never returned.
>Now, it’s Corin’s turn. He’s headed to the top floor, on a mission to meet the goddess.
>If he can survive the trials, Corin will earn an attunement, but that won’t be sufficient to survive the dangers on the upper levels. For that, he’s going to need training, allies, and a lot of ingenuity.
>The journey won’t be easy, but Corin won’t stop until he gets his brother back.
It is incredibly readable, I couldn't put it down. There are definitely some criticism to be made of it, but no more than a lot of other fantasy stuff that is well regarded and eminently readable.
Andrew Rowe's Sufficiently Advanced Magic might fit the bill., though plays with the formula a bit.
It is a fun mix of LitRPG (it's fantasy world contains elements of litrpgs but that are just part of the world) and Xianxia.
It has one male MC and POV.
The MC does get some special advantages (but not always seen as such), and I assume this increases as the series goes on.
And the ebook is on sale at amazon right now for $1.49!

Hey all,
Just wanted to give you a heads up that the Kindle version of Sufficiently Advanced Magic is on sale in Canada right now.
No other regions at the moment, sorry - Amazon Canada picked the book out for a sale, so I have no control over it. I'm hoping to put it on sale in the US and UK through a Kindle Countdown deal within about a month or so, but I don't have a specific date yet.
<strong>Sufficiently Advanced Magic</strong> is a JRPG inspired epic fantasy with lots of world building and magic systems detail. Most of it takes place at a magic academy, but there's also some dungeon crawling through a JRPG-style dungeon.
The RPG inspiration is pretty obvious, so if you're not into that kind of thing, you might want to skip this. It's also very heavy on magic system details.
Here's a quick synopsis:
Five years ago, Corin Cadence’s brother entered the Serpent Spire — a colossal tower with ever-shifting rooms, traps, and monsters. Those who survive the spire’s trials return home with an attunement: a mark granting the bearer magical powers. According to legend, those few who reach the top of the tower will be granted a boon by the spire’s goddess.
He never returned.
Now, it’s Corin’s turn. He’s headed to the top floor, on a mission to meet the goddess.
If he can survive the trials, Corin will earn an attunement, but that won’t be sufficient to survive the dangers on the upper levels. For that, he’s going to need training, allies, and a lot of ingenuity.
The journey won’t be easy, but Corin won’t stop until he gets his brother back.
If you're not in Canada, but you're interested in checking it out, you can find the US version here and it should be available on all other Amazon stores as well. The book is also available through Kindle Unlimited if you have that.
On a continent where humans are granted magical marks that supposedly contain the power of a goddess, young nobles attend a university with their retainers, learning magic and swordplay while they form connections with other nations.
Fire Emblem? No, I'm talking about my own <strong>Arcane Ascension</strong> books.
When I first saw the trailer for Three Houses, I laughed like mad because of how similar it sounded. My books are heavily JRPG inspired, so it makes sense, I was just tickled by the whole goddess mark thing and some of the similarities between the nations.
In spite of the similarities, there are some significant differences as well: my books have a very significant focus on magical research, and my protagonist isn't a teacher like Byleth. His focus is more on learning how magic works and training to rescue his brother, who disappeared into a giant tower five years earlier. If I had to compare my protagonist to someone in Three Houses, he's probably closest to someone line Lindhart in terms of skill set, but with a very different personality.
Aside from my own books, I'd also highly recommend Mage Errant, Mother of Learning, and Forge of Destiny - they're all magical school stories that have some of the elements you'd probably find similar to Three Houses.
Was hoping you were announcing that it was actually released... not i gotta wait till December.. QQ
As for recommendations...
Just finished the two Underworld books. They were pretty good. Looking forward to the next one.
Also am in the middle of crystal shards and it's good as well. A couple nice twists, and a good take on dystopian litrpg.
Lol on an amusing and unrelated note check out the litrpg novel the ritualist
Related to your comment but not the thread

There ye go. It's called on the shoulders of titans. A tip of you are looking for books in a series on Kindle, go to the authors page, it lists all their books
Also a heads up, on the 6th of December, book 3 arrives. It's called the torch that ignite the stars or something like that.
I would recommend checking out the six sacred swords series aswell. Same author, same universe, mostly same continent
Hi Everyone!
Midway through the pandemic, I found myself feeling a bit stuck. After wanting to do so for years and looking for a challenge, I decided to try writing a book.
Now, months later, I am happy to say that I'm currently writing the fourth book in that series, and book 3 comes out in a week on June 8th!
To celebrate book 3 coming out, I am putting Book 1 on sale for the week (0.99).
You can find book 1 here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08RRVDDFT
The series is slower-paced and what many would call Slice-of-Life, but each book adds more action as the main character progresses in his magical powers. I've received some excellent feedback about the book, and I thank anyone who continues to give it a chance.
Here's the description on Amazon:
An Affinity.
Most humans never get one, but the Goddess gives everyone the opportunity when they turn 16.
With an Affinity, humans are given access to their internal energy and Skills. Magical powers that allow you to interact with the world in ways you could never imagine.
When Terrence receives his Affinity, he is shocked to discover it has never been seen before within the Kingdom. Worse yet, his Affinity reinforces the thing he was made fun of for his entire life - His weight.
Follow Terrence as he uses his Affinity to progress with the hopes of becoming a Dungeoneer – someone who explores and conquers Dungeons.
Discover a unique world where Terrence and his friends learn about their new abilities, Affinities, AND themselves.
Their Skills will grow, and if they work hard enough, they might eventually Rank up!
Thanks for reading, and have a great day :).
Tl;dr - new series by an unknown author on sale for .99 cents from June 1-8
I'll ask Podium about getting the recap recorded. In the meantime, you can read it by just clicking "Look Inside" on the Amazon product page - you don't need to buy it.
I thought to check the price on the US Amazon page, and while it may not quite match the sale our Canadian counterparts have, $3.99 is not exactly expensive: https://www.amazon.com/Sufficiently-Advanced-Magic-Arcane-Ascension-ebook/dp/B06XBFD7CB/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1496421171&sr=8-1&keywords=sufficiently+advanced+magic
I'm definitely considering picking this up, I did enjoy the War of Broken Mirrors novels, and am a fan of JRPG's in general.

The Weight of it All series. Only some people awaken to powers, and when they do they only get a single affinity, and only a single skill. Through practice and levelling up they can add more skills that directly relate to their affinity, but thats it (unless they get an incredibly rare and extremely hard to unlock general skill). Enjoyable series.

Elorin become pretty powerful. He does work with a group and the creatures he fights against tend to be more powerful but he finds a way to beat them. Its weird in the fact I think he becomes OP pretty quickly but everyone else is also OP. Anyway, there are 6 books so it might scratch the itch.

Energy is used for Skills, along with other superhuman feats.
