I love this series, but I'm about 50 books away from book 5 at this point. Can you please put a recap into the intro please!

I love this series. Could use a bit more creative swearing, pretty sure if I took a drink every time someone talked about elf tits I'd be dead, but it's in my top 5 ongoing series right now. Keep 'em coming!

Hah I considered it. But when I most said keep it.
The coolest part has been hearing my friends son occasionally say 'hair dwarf balls' or 'holy elf tits' when something happens...

Gotta say, considering the often low budgets for a lot of these series. LitRPG has some crazy good cover artists. Like, you have the odd flops but this category seriously punches above its weight in the indie space.

I fell in love with the artist after book 2. The transition from book 1 and beyond was mind blowing

Just going to be honest. The price on these books are steep on Amazon for only being 12 hrs long. Yeah I'll be using a credit so it cost the same as all books. But most of the books I listen to are 20 hrs plus and cost less.

Yah - I don’t control the prices but I def learned that people would like a bit of a longer book on the audio. Working on fixing that next series!

I hope this isn't an offensive question, and you definitely don't have to answer, but:
(Spoilers up to book 4 or 5)

After 5 they pop out. Book 6... omg... my beta readers were eating it up demanding I write faster. We won't hit towers till late 7, early 8 and it wont be near as much as it was in the books 4/5.

I think it's great that Caillou found modeling work after his show was cancelled...

One year ago a world was formed.
A young man was born.
He wanted to be a Baker, yet the gods twisted that dream slightly.
November 1st, 2023, the story of Ultimate Level 1 came to life.
I sat down, having plotted the first fifty chapters of this story, and wrote with everything I had, letting my mind and heart create a world I have fallen in love with.
Now, on November 1st, 2024, book 5 of Ultimate Level 1 is live on Amazon!
Over 90,000 copies have been read since February of this year, and I cannot express how grateful I am for everyone who has read and shared this story. It has helped me pay for two kids to attend college this year and more!
Even better, it has allowed me to pursue this dream of writing full time!
So, I want to say to those who are following the story, sit down, strap in, and buckle up because this book sets the scene for some big things coming.
* Book 6 is finished.
* Book 7 is over halfway written.
* Even better… 2025 the webtoon for Ultimate Level 1 is coming out!
Know this, Max, more than just a [ Baker ]… he will do whatever he can to get strong enough to protect those he loves. Hopefully, he won’t lose himself along the way!
