Hey everyone! Still chugging away at the rewrite so I'm continuing our weekly spotlights to you all have things to sink your teeth into in the meantime. If you're wondering why it's taking so long, the original length of Arc 1 is around 34,000 words. Its rewrite is on track to hit 75,000 to 80,000 words. This is due to a mix of improved prose and much more time spent on world building and character interaction, which gives the arc the pacing it deserved and to really cement Helbram as a character. I'm moving as fast as I can to get it done along with its audiobook, but I can't give a solid estimate of when it will be finished and ready for ARC readers to take a look at. Until then, I'll be spreading the love that you all have shown me by directing you to other stories, such as the one below:

Gilgamesh [Grimdark LitRPG]
Torn from his life by capricious and cruel gods, he is thrust into their Divine games in a strange new world.
With his name stolen, he chooses to call himself after the first and greatest of all heroes—Gilgamesh.
Corrupted by his new powers, Gilgamesh slowly walks the path of darkness and damnation. Forced to kill to survive, he learns to kill for pleasure and more power.
Bringing with him the evils of his old world, he infects the new one like a living, all-consuming cancer. For his is a dark destiny, long foretold in the time of the ancients.
For such is the fate of the Watcher of the Deep Places.

This is a more grimdark take on the LitRPG genre and has a protagonist to match, but for those that want a change of pace from Hedge Knight's slower pace but still taking the time to flesh out its characters, give this a read! Its been zoom up the ranks for a reason :).
Now then, I'm going back to writing/recording, I may have some samples coming up soon, which I'll gladly share.
Till next time everyone, have a wonderful day!
