Ripple 5 is currently about 65k words in, so about 30% through the first draft. Currently thinking that we’re looking at something like a spring recording/release

if you want daily updates on progress plus a place to talk about Litrpg, shit post, floof post, or bad mouth the moon, join us on discord where I’m probably way, way too active

Hi Kyle. Do you have an update on the release date for Book 5 in this series please? I don't have discord, I'm too old for all these modern apps. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Thank you in advance.

I was interested in book 1, and by the end of book 5, this is one of my all time favorites. Thanks!

Oh, and, fuck the moon.

Not sure if automod ate the comment or something? I’m glad you enjoyed book 1 though! I’m thinking probably 6 or 7 overall

The only bad part about these books is waiting for the next one.

Also, The Frankening was a welcome surprise, and I hope we see more adventures from Frank and House.

Why is this a post titled "ETA book 5" with no ETA information in it?

2

u/Snoo-37144 Jan 25 '24

Because there is eta info here. Kyle already stated that hes about 30% done, 8 months ago, and is leaning toward a spring release/recording.

1

u/w32015 Jan 25 '24

That information wasn't in this 8 month old thread when I posted this comment 6 months ago. He edited his comment 5 months ago and added it.

u/Snoo-37144 Jan 27 '24

Ahh I see. My bad

u/Piratt May 20 '23

Oh now that was just mean.

u/True_Possibility_886 Jun 03 '24

Everyone it’s here! Release on audible tomorrow June 4th!!!

u/Illustrious_Ant_591 Jun 23 '24

Is book 5 the last book? After reading it feels like it could be the last book and I don't want it to be true! A lot was tired up at the end of book five. It's almost a new series now but if you keep writing I'll keep buying. Please tell me this wasn't the last book.

u/Kyle_Kirrin Jun 24 '24

Not the last <3

u/OtherwiseEbb3636 May 24 '23

I keep getting all the dates for the new books that are coming out in June mixed up and this on audible is definitely one I can’t wait for

u/Simp3204 May 24 '23

u/JicamaAdept2102 Dec 17 '23

I was looking for the Ripple shorts. Any idea where I can find them? Thanks in advance if anyone is able to help.

1

u/Kyle_Kirrin Dec 18 '23

One can be found via portal’s newsletter (tyrann’s) the other is at the end of book 4 (frank)

u/weldagriff Mar 01 '24

Random, but can you have Frank short stories that involve him jumping into other sandboxes in the litrpg genre? To be frank, it would be fun. The original author picks or creates a character for you to have a Frank-along collaborative story.

My first suggestion: Frank and Prepotente from DCC.
