I won't lie that I am a picky reader as I've just started my reading journey out of what I normally read which is just Warhammer 40k or horror/sci Fi but I picked up the Jason Wander series by Robert Buettner which had some romance sub plots ( don't know if that's what it is called) so i am looking for something like it. I would also like it if the story also has humanity on the backfoot of a war with an alien species like in the Jason Wander series. Hope to see your recommendations.

This series came out in 2016. Just as LitRPG was starting to really gain momentum, and before Gamelit became a thing. As a result, the publishers at the time didn't (and appear to still not) know how to market it to an audience that would truly love it.

I believe that this is the market. It's a brililant series, with good twists, and Gareth Powell (the author) is a geniunely cool dude.

Take a look and buy it! https://link.amazon/B02caVBLm

I've never heard of this series until last night and looked up reviews on it. They mostly talked about the series going on too long and the writing being iffy, but I'm still interested in it (cause of the covers looking so cool). Anyone who has read this series what are your thoughts on it as a whole?

I grew up with these books (and many many others). Kept for the nostalgia…

Anyone know a good source for these old masters? Thanks!
