Looking for beta-readers

Hey guys, I'm looking for some beta-readers for an upcoming LitRPG series.

I've published my debut in Germany already, the feedback was stellar over here and it has been in the Amazon Top10 for the past two weeks since release.

At the moment my lector and I are translating the book into English. The plan is to keep for format close to the German original but still making it enjoyable for english readers.

If you're a quick reader and interested in something new, hit me up. :D

Wer hat Erfahrungen mit Audible?

Moin moin,

ich bin gerade dabei meinen Debüt-Roman ins Englische zu übersetzen und lasse das Hörbuch produzieren. Leider ist das Hochladen des Hörbuches nicht so einfach möglich wie beim eBook, da der Amazon Hörbuch Service nur für Einwohner aus US, UK, Irland und Canada möglich ist. Es soll wohl über Dritt-Anbieter / Distributoren dennoch möglich sein.

Hat da Jemand von euch schon Erfahrung gesammelt? Kann ggf einen Anbieter empfehlen oder von welchen abraten?

Beste Grüße

Coverart and english translation

Hey guys.
My name is Sebastian Bauer, and I'm the author of the German LitRPG "Runenbruch". The book was released last Saturday and ranked #2 on Amazon's LitRPG bestseller list.

At the moment, I'm working on translating the book from German into English (Runefracture), with the help of my lector. The post is tagged as Promo: Other, because it kinda promotes the book, but I'm here for a discussion or input, if you will.

Hand on heart, I don't have the money or connections to get the book translated into English by a professional translation agency or a publisher. So I was curious if you guys would still read a book translated by someone who isn't a native speaker and tries to mimic the German tone as closely as possible?

It would be available on Kindle Unlimited.

Or would you rather wait for a professional translation, even if that means it takes much longer and the book has to earn money in Germany first to pay for the translation?

Either way, here are some of my step-by-step pictures from creating the artwork for the cover. :D

COVER ARTIST: myself, Sebastian Bauer

Ich habe innerhalb von drei Monaten einen Roman geschrieben und veröffentlicht. AMA

Das Projekt begann aus Spite/Trotz, um einem Kollegen zu beweisen, dass man auch ohne GenAI ein gutes Buch in kurzer Zeit schreiben kann.
