Hello everyone!

I recently started publishing this book on Royal Road, and it’s already made it onto the Rising Stars lists for its subgenres.

So I thought it might be decent enough to share here!

I’ll leave the synopsis below for anyone interested in joining the journey!

Thanks for your time, and I hope to see you there!

SYNOPSIS

Nerez no longer remembers the name he had when he was just an ordinary human on Earth. It has been far too long since a literal date with destiny, or rather with the Goddess of Fate, condemned him to wander the sea of souls through a thousand different lives.

All he wanted now was to escape the endless cycle of reincarnation and enjoy one peaceful last life. But just when freedom seemed within reach, he found himself in the midst of a divine battle royale for a newborn world.

Can the nascent god of death find peace and tranquility in immortality? Or will his new domain, servants, and the ever-troublesome mortals make his life impossible?

And even now, the looming shadow of the one who cursed him in the first place still lingers. But was it really a curse? Perhaps the Goddess of Fate had plans of her own...

It's me again! Wasn't I just here yesterday? Yes I was. I'm here with a new Omnibus, this time for my other hit series, Bonded Summoner. You can enjoy the end of the Highlands Arc for only 1 Credit, and enjoy over 100 hours for only two, which I think is a pretty darned good deal.

Jake's journey starts small, from a simple summoner with a party. He grows into becoming a champion of a goddess and the leader of a guild, and eventually, a ruler of an empire spanning multiple worlds. Later still, he'll embark on the steps of godhood, so this is an epic ongoing LitRPG/progression fantasy series that has it all.

For those who haven't begun the journey, you can start with the Omnibus 1 today!:

Hey guys, it's finally out! I have packaged up 66 hours of Audio for Soul Knight into a single Credit, allowing people to enjoy the first arcs of Soul Knight on a budget. The Ebook is only $3.99, a great price for those wanting to start the journey reading and don't have Kindle Unlimited.

For those who haven't tried Nick's journey but may be familiar with my other title, Bonded Summoner, this one is far more action packed and visceral, following Nick as a master swordsman from page one. The challenges Nick face, in the beginning, are more about keeping the girls protected as they grow, and overcoming their trauma and fears as well as taking on targets that simply can't be cut down with a sword no matter how awesome his Soul Knight class and Soul Blade is and how well he might swing it.

In these first three books, you'll see the love interests built up to become truly strong, and Nick grow into a better person as well. Eirwen (the sheep girl on the cover) motivates Nick to become better, just as the world of Orion helps him become more. In this world, every kingdom (at least starts out as) like a special City-state, where the tower/dungeon slightly alters those who climb it to walk down a certain Path, using cultivation and challenging them in unique ways. Nick's Path is the Path of Kings, and later, the Hero's Path, so that impacts all that live in his kingdom. The story and challenge is about just what it takes to walk both paths--the differences between a hero and a king.

I hope that folks that missed out on it take this opportunity to give it a try. Book 5 is nearly complete and should be out next month or a little later, so this is a great time to pick it up. Nick's journey to immortality is only just beginning.

Here's the Blurb:

Books 1-3 in a single offering!

On Orion, becoming king is easy… just climb a monster-filled tower, rescue the girls, claim the throne, and try not to die.

Reborn in a crypt, Nick awakens as the last Archaen: heir to a forgotten race, a legendary Soul Blade, and a kingdom buried beneath the city of Havendale.

As a Soul Knight, Nick wields an impossible blend of paladin and necromancer magic. He can judge the wicked, heal damaged souls, summon soul servants, and form Soul Pacts with loyal followers--and the wives who will rise beside him.

He’ll need every advantage, since Havendale is ruled by a bandit warlord, the tower’s first Trial is far deadlier than it should be, and Nick’s lost Heritage waits behind monsters, traps, and enemies who want the Archaens to stay extinct.

With a fierce red panda warrior, a sweet sheep beastfolk supporter, and a growing army of followers at his side, Nick must conquer the tower and take his first step toward Eternity.

Or die before his kingdom can be reclaimed.

Contains: LitRPG/Cultivation System, Tower Climbing, Kingdom Building, and loveable beastfolk girls with dating and romance.

Here are the US store links, I hope those that haven't begun reading/listening to these can pick them up at this tremendous deal!

This is a series I've been wanting to finish for more than a year but it got buried beneath all my projects. I finally dusted it off and I'm finishing the editing right now!

I survived my first year at Witch College, so I figured summer break would be the easy part — yeah, right.

I've got a coven that keeps growing, a Family name older than most of the Council, and a mother who's been alive this whole time — somewhere past a bridge in West Virginia she went off of twenty years ago.

Chasing that trail means werewolves, a Family that trades its own daughters like stock options, and a night in a Louisiana graveyard cutting a deal with the dead.

Second year at Willowmere isn't any calmer. Gabriel's still out there doing something worse than killing witches. The Patriarchy didn't end in that farmhouse. And the oldest, hungriest witch in the old country has decided my coven owes her a debt none of us agreed to — and she's coming to collect.

My coven is stronger than ever, and I'm going to need every bit of it.

Last year, all I had to do was survive.

This year, I have to be worthy.

Review: Rise of the Class Smith

Quick sideword, thank you for reading this review. Doing these have always been a fun way for me to share experiences and conversations with others that share what I enjoy. An author I respect and converse with regularly here on the platform reminded too, that these reviews, are for other readers, and if a review keeps a reader from possibly buying a book they weren’t going to enjoy anyway, then that is a positive for the community as a whole. That hit differently for me and I appreciated it.
————————————

SMALL RANT:

So I will start with the elephant in the room of my own creation — I thought the blurb of this book really undersold the premise, or at least more specifically some of the unique details that I feel really separate and probably resonate with the general audience. This series has become one of Leon’s more or even most popular series based on number of reviews logged in Amazon and Audible (1,002 reviews on Amazon and 140 on Audible at time of writing). So maybe this is technically spoilers or something from the author’s POV but I feel it’s worth it to mention for anyone still looking at this series. Also, everything mentioned below are in the first few chapters.

\- This takes play on a real version of earth and not some fantasy world. Mostly modern day.
\- The stakes the dungeons have on the world at large are quite more real than let on.
\- Death by dungeon is another real consequence that can and does happen to even those that may or may not deserve it.
\- Dungeon diving becomes just another hazardous job that for most pay little better than most other jobs. Still have to pay rent, pay bill, pay for groceries. This brings a real weight to an otherwise fantastical job as depicted in many other books.

Realistically, I don’t know how much of this could have been expressed in the short blurb, but it really helps flesh out context for the story at large.
————————————

LITRPG Cool Stuff

This is also what I would call LitRPG lite. It carries every feature that I have come to expect from a LitRPG, but does it in a why that is probably my most favorite ways. It’s never number hungry. Stat sheets are not tossed at you constantly. Abilities are constantly ‘activated’ having a wall of ‘system text’ tossed at you to remind you what the ability does. You get the definition once, then every subsequent use is a reminder through action. Heals talk about healing, stealth talks about going stealth. It is one of the best LitRPG examples of “Show don’t Tell”.

The RPG ‘mechanics’ on show here are unique enough to me and well thought out. The class smithing ability it gets its namesake from is a core mechanic and it really feels good. It uses a combination mechanic that I won’t go into a lot of detail on that feels intuitive and yet extremely flexible. The rules governing the system are also believable and grounded in common understanding if you have played any amount of dungeon crawlers.

As for the use of ‘kin’ which is a mutation of the human genome to create essentially new species and races of humans and that they go through their own prejudices is a great unique touch. Those born from kin parents carry that trait allowing families of unique species to grow and gain fame or notoriety.

Dungeons themselves are a cool unique design. Once again, keeping a bit vague for spoilers, they act as a buffer for another faction that add some real tension and true weight to the story that I hadn’t expected to be so prevalent.

I think however the most fun mechanics of the dungeon was the creation and acquisition of mob, fodder, creatures, whatever you want to call it. It reminds me of one of my favorite games growing up, Age of Wonders. You take a basic unit and customize it in different ways to change what role it plays. Take the same frontline creature and give it a shield and it’s a tank, take the same mob and give it a staff and it’s a caster or healer. It allowed for some super creative creature design without having to make new units/mobs for each class helping keep immersion smooth and not jarring.
————————————

Awesome Characters

The characters really stand out here. Levi, the main character is a standard trope of a harem MC, with stoic morality, warm tenderness, and protective nature, but there a few standout qualities that help make this character someone I have really enjoyed. For one, he’s smart. Not super calculating or over intelligent, but smart in that he has basic comprehension and competence with the real felt ability to learn from mistakes. He feels the mistakes he makes, feels the weight of his decisions, and makes less than optimal decisions sometimes which feels realistic. And he is humble and not blindly trusting of every nice pair of tits that walk in front of him, regardless of how nice they look.

Blair and Maddie are stand outs too, each for their own strengths. Blair is calm and confident with a sense of protectiveness for Levi that goes beyond battle. She makes sure he gets the rest he needs, doesn’t push himself, and eats when he forgets too. It loving and sweet. Maddie on the other-side is calm and sweet. She is more of a artsy thinker, with a unique outlook on a lot of things. When Levi can’t solve a problem, which the MC shouldn’t be able to solve everything, she steps in with a new look or way of thinking that is genuinely juxtaposed from how Levi approached a problem while still feeling natural to her character and grounded.

Both girls are well written and each have strengths and weaknesses that play off each other instead of feeling blurred or blended and getting lost in the mix.

————————————

WRITING

The writing is pleasant. I will say it feels a bit long winded in places. Monologues feel a bit longer than they needed to be and repeatedly retrace thoughts. This is an odd criticism for me, because I don’t actually think I want it to change. I find in the moments, I am invested to these characters and want to know and hear how they feel, see their pain and strife. Their crushing desires.

The prose is also something that I find more and more important to me. How an author writes. The words they chooses and how they put them together.

Leon here is quickly become someone I really enjoy. He writes in a way that his diction changes to match the character speaking/thinking and even to match the tone. If a sex scene is more quick and dirty, the words and flow of it match in contrast to a scene that is more intense and intimate, this scene will be more drawn out and have words that I would associate with ‘romanticism’ or ‘flowery’. Some might say “well duh” but you would be surprised how much that makes a difference. As an example, I don’t think the word cunt is used a single time in the first book. At least not in a pointed way, until a character in the second book uses it in an internal monologue and it just hits different because of it. Makes that characters identity and language feel distinct from the rest. Even depending on the POV of the sex scene seems to change how it is written which for me is a super win. I love unique and distinct POV voices.

————————————

CONCLUSION

Rise of the Class Smith is my first major journey into Leon’s bibliography, and I can say it doesn’t disappoint. The book is well written, has good length and depth. Characters feel real and decisions have weight and consequences that aren’t always visible then and there. If you like fantasy genre in general, then this will scratch a lot of itches. If you like classes and D&D or Diablo style mechanics and dungeons crawling, then this is a must buy.

————————————

As always, if you have any questions, feel free to reply to the post. I enjoy making these reviews in part for the conversation and engagement I get in the comments.

Also thanks Shane for giving me the push in confidence to get back out here and write these. I had a lot of fun.
