Update on Audio for Book 7 and My Progress on Book 8

2/27/2021

I talked with Jason Hill a few days ago and he’s assured me that he’ll be finished with the audio for book 7 in March 2021. Not sure exactly when that’s going to happen, but even if it’s finished in March, Audible will take another fifteen to twenty days to get it uploaded and available for download. In Jason Hill’s defense, he’s had some major medical problems that needed to be dealt with before he could get back on his audiobook schedule. After having a major heart attack myself, I can appreciate how medical issues can kick your ass.

From the feedback I’ve received from all of the audiobook fans, everyone really wants me to stay with Jason Hill’s voice and are willing to wait; even if that means it takes a little bit longer for the audiobooks to be released. Not that I can disagree, Jason Hill does an excellent job. As long as everyone is cool with wait until he’s able to get around to completing the audiobooks for the series, then I won’t stress about it too much. From both of us, we appreciate everyone being so patient with our medical issues in 2020. Hopefully, we both will keep on the healthy side so this isn’t a problem again.

Book 8 is moving long nicely. Though I’m a solid six months behind schedule, I am back to writing like a fiend. So far, I’ve been hesitant to go over the Amazon’s template of 828 pages but this might change for book 8. I really want to have all three days included in the same book to finish off the Star’s gaming week and the current story arc. I’ll just have to see how long it takes me to get it all out. The feedback from everyone is that the story is kicking ass. One of the biggest things I’ve been hearing from everyone is that the characters seem more alive than ever from all of the action and shit-talking going on. So, just know that I’m working as hard as I can to get book 8 out as quickly as I can while improving the quality of the story and writing as always =D

As an Audible user only. I tend to not use credits on 8-9 hour books, Around 12+ is typically the alright lets give it a try if it sounds cool hour mark. So I suggest more content is better, Especially on LITRPG books. On the second or third listen on the series good job keep it up looking forward to 7 and 8

Thanks, TheRykrsmith, though I should've answered you sooner. Thanks for the feedback and my books tend to be 8-9 for books 1 through 3 and then a hell of a lot longer for everything else =D

Appreciate that Richard, and it's nice to hear the feedback. I keep adding more and more stuff to book 8. It's funny because I'm like, I want to get this out sooner rather than later and here it is starting to reach book 4's length =D Good luck on your travels and be safe.

I have read all seven books in your series twice. I also own the first 6 on audible.
You sir have captured my imagination like few others. Your dynamics regarding vassal NPCs was original within the genre.
I would recommend The world to any fan of litrpg or gamelit. My only critique would be Star hasn't dealt with significant defeat within the first 7 books

Hey Fennith,

Thanks for the good word. I try to make The World interesting and picture it after my own imagination and dreams. You're right about Star not having a major defeat yet. Most of his defeats came before he ever started playing The World and he's now a top gamer. What does that mean? Mostly, that he's an expert at winning and even if it's finding pyrrhic victor even in a loss or combining a winning team due to the choices that he makes.

Strangely enough, most of Star's strategies and wins are based off of my own gaming history. I was the best in my group and against nearly every opponent I faced in the LAN parties that I traveled to or hosted and even online. I did receive an asswhooping from a group of international players that made a six figure income once, but otherwise I dominated or squeaked by with the wins on every one-on-one game I played and many team events. At least, in the games that I played.

Part of Star's story is being that top player and the good and bad that comes with it. At the same time, you're 100% correct that he needs to sometimes feel the pain of defeat and I have some stuff planned coming up that there is simply no way that he can defend against that will hopefully keep the story entertaining with that angle in mind. Actually, there are a couple of those coming up. One even in book 8. (oh wait, that's been pushed to book 9 due to the heart attack, nm) Even so, it's hard to keep a good gamer down and Star usually will grasp whatever win he can even in defeat =D Hopefully, that will keep the story entertaining to read.

Jason
