Thank you all for your support and engagement over the past 100,000+ words.

Metaverse Mythhunter began as a single kernel of an idea that I combined with a previous non-LitRPG book concept. I am a traditionally published author under a different pen name and a self-published LitRPG author, primarily interested in Sci-Fi and genre mashups. I use Royal Road as a place to experiment with ideas and writing styles (tense, POV, etc.), but your interest in this story inspired me to keep going.

One experimental aspect has been the lack of dialogue attribution for the main character, although near the end of Volume One I pivoted to using a special symbol to denote when the MC speaks. Another experimental aspect has been the Reader Interaction. This prevented me from writing far in advance, but allowed the main character and story to grow in new and unexpected ways. Not only your poll results, but also your comments and thoughts help shape the ongoing narrative.

If you encounter this narrative on Amazon, note that it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

Promise #1 - There will be a canonical, in-world reason for this (how your ideas influence the MC).

Promise #2 - You, the readers, will make the final decision of this story. This will not be a 'pick the color of your explosion' Mass Effect ending, but extremely divergent conclusions.

I am going to take a break from writing MM for a time so I can go back and edit and revise the first volume.

There are still many mysteries to discover, upgrades to unlock, and monsters to hunt!
