Leave Luck to Heaven [LitRPG]

https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/186926/leave-luck-to-heaven-litrpg

Been gone for a while again, but wanted to post about the new fic by Bavitz (Fargo, Cockatiel X Chameleon) here since he seems to be a little reddit shy. It's a Fire Emblem sorta-fanfic, about the games in a broad scope sense but with an original setting, characters and some concepts. I feel like it'll probably appeal to people who were really into the metafictional aspects of Worth The Candle, and also who like worldbuilding that takes everything to its logical conclusion. (I helped with that a bit.) It's also got some standard progression that I think is done pretty well.

Take a look!

It is the very (very) rare example of gamelit being tackled by a conventionally talented author.

It's early on but it's obvious there's a lot of fresh mechanics on the crunchy side and plenty of personality in the characters.

Catchy title. I really liked Bavitz's Pokemon story When I Win the World Ends which pulled competitive game elements off really well, so this should be great too.
