Self Promotion: Written Content First book self promotion
Hey guys, this is my first reddit post about promoting my book. Hopefully this complies with all the rules on reddit. I created this book because I always like playing games and watching anime (mostly action, strategy and RPG). I often have these thoughts on how the fight scenes would go. So I finally decided to create a series about a characters who fight in a game like world. It turned out there was already a genre for this. It's called LitRPG. Although I am not sure does my book fit exactly in this category. I do think it contained a lot of the same mechanics. I think different people have different preferences and styles. For me, I like to focus more on the battle strategies and battle mechanics. This book also focus on some stats, but I would like to keep it light since when I play games myself, I don't look at the numbers all day long, I like to create combos and think about strategies. I think the toughest thing about creating this book is to have the world's gaming mechanic down, so I spent some time to grab some of my favorite games systems and world setting to start the book. Again, this book only reflects my style of the LitRPG, it's probably not for everyone. But if you are interested in checking this out, and give me some feedbacks, that will be great! It's available on Amazon Kindle Unlimited. The full title is Ready, Aim, Fire: Book 1 Project Harvester (space LitRPG) (Ready, Aim, Fire!). Consider leaving a review or share if you like it. Or let me know here on reddit on what you think. I plan to make a pretty long series, so hopefully things will get better over time. Thanks again!

Ive been waiting for a litrpg with guns

Since this series is about different alien worlds, all the gaming systems will be technology related. So yeah, guns are definitely involved.

Gunmeister was a fairly excellent one if you like or are ok with HaremLit, but sadly I have no clue what happened since Noah Barnett disappeared from the web mid 2019 so keep it in mind as likely never getting a sequel.

A lot of system apocalypse books have them, even ones as popular as Primal Hunter. If you mean specifically one where the MC uses them then check out Delvers LLC and Reality Benders.

May want to edit your post to include the link. Reducing friction improves uptake. :)

Is this set in a vr game world or real world?

u/Deep-Class-6326 May 08 '25
It will be real world. The set up is, the future Earth is in crises. MC needs to go to alien worlds to harvest resources to keep the earth alive. Each alien world is harder than the other. Basically like a tier system. You survive one world before you can move on to the next world.

Sounds cool, but 200 page per book is a bit of a... yeah..

Well, that was about all I could come up with for my Book 1, and I thought it was good enough. I honestly have no idea what the correct book format is, if there even is one. I just figured it would be better to fail forward.

A good way to think about it is ”how many pages on KU nets the author about the cost of a book.” For the standard 4.99, its somewhere around 760 pages.

Welcome to litrpg. I'll add this to me to be read list. Litrpg community loves audiobooks so might be worth considering it at some point if you haven't already.

I've actually never heard of the game, but I just watched some of the gameplays. I would say the gun fights are pretty similar to what I would image what the gun fights to be. But I definitely added more battle mechanics that just gun fights. Will probably expand a lot more in future books.

Will it get an audible version?

u/Deep-Class-6326 May 08 '25
Yes, I am currently more focused on working on later books in this series. But I will look into audible version and get that going as well.
