I spent way too many years binging Xianxia and cultivation stories before deciding to write my own. Now I write Progression / Non-System LitRPG and LitRPG about characters making questionable decisions and somehow surviving them.
The magic system behind Runeforged Realms has been rattling around in my head for about twenty years. I finally stopped tinkering and started writing. Turns out that was the hard part.
When I'm not writing, I'm gaming, hanging out with my wife and son, or listening to audiobooks while pretending to do housework. Our dog has made it into at least one story. He doesn't know he's famous.
What I write
Opposite ends of the same obsession.
Hard-hitting Progression / Non-System LitRPG on one hand, cozy support-focused LitRPG on the other. They're total opposites, and that's exactly why I write both. Magic systems that follow rules. Characters who earn their power and make terrible decisions along the way. Fight scenes that hit hard and quiet moments that hit harder.
The road so far
One obsession, two worlds.
