Hello friends of our great genre.

Today was a rather special day for Runefracture/ Runenbruch and myself. I am on the Polaris Convention in Hamburg, Germany with my own booth.

It's hella fun and overall an awesome feeling to see the project coming to live like this and actually meet with my readers or see the spark of interest in new folks rise.

How ever small the chance might be, if anyone of you guys show up here and show this post you'll get one of my selfmade bookmarks for free.

You find me in Hall 2, Booth B2 .EG 251-2

For all others the book is available on Amazon and kIndle Unlimited

Fun fact about myself:
I'm posting this while cleaning the house and preparing everything for my birthday party this evening. Not only barbecuing in my book, but also in reallife every chance I get.

Hey'all

Three month ago I made a promise to my cats, readers and myself and today I was able to fulfill it for the first time.

As written in the introduction of the Runefracture, 10% of all royalties, earnings and whatsoever comes from it are going directly to animal shelter and other animal care projects. Today the first royalties from amazon arrived and about $60 USD / 50€ are going to a local animal shelter.
I asked them first, what they currently needed the most.

Anyway, this wouldn't have been possible without y'all reading the book so thank you very much.

For those that have read Runefracture already, don't worry, I'm already working on the second book.

Have a great weekend :)

Good news, everyone: the translation is completed. :D

I’m Sebastian Bauer, and I wanted to share my debut LitRPG / System Apocalypse novel Runefracture with you. Yes, yes, there is a different title on the picture. The book originally launched in Germany under the title Runenbruch. Since my physical English copy has not arrived yet, I added a photo of the German one.

After almost a month of translation work and a final pass by native English editor Donna Graham, the English edition is finally available.

Runefracture follows Indigo Fischer after Earth is integrated into a cosmic System. Monsters appear, dungeons open, stats and abilities become real, and Indigo has to figure out how to stay human while the old world falls apart.

It’s a System Apocalypse story with:
• progression through stats, abilities, and dungeons
• combination-based rune magic
• monsters and strange entities
• divine interference
• practical survival, dark humor, and character-focused progression

One of the main things I wanted was a LitRPG where the System changes the real world, instead of sending the protagonist into a game world.

Available now on Amazon and Kindle Unlimited: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0H59J2RQG/

Happy to answer questions if anyone is curious. / I'll stay up for a while, if I don't answer right away I probably fell asleep. It's Currently 3am over here.

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
