I suspect it may be only a matter of time before it’s optioned as a tv show (if it isn’t already) - the book are now coming out in trad print(with excellent covers), the author has run phenomenally successful kickstarters for special editions, has a thriving merch store, and is about to launch a comic book version. I feel it’s one of those series which is starting to break out of its original small(ish) niche and find a very receptive wider audience. I first came across it as a recommendation in a romantasy Facebook group, despite the entire series not containing a lick of romance (unless you include the [redacted for spoilers] later character who propositions everything in sight regardless of gender or species).

One thing that really struck me as I read the series is that the majority of the time, any new character is a woman/female. Not at all in LitRPG harem way (that trope gets specifically called out and discarded in the very first book), just as kind of a default. There’s a _very_ wide range of female characters, and I suspect it’s deliberate.

Anyway, I’m now caught up on the series on kindle, and impatiently waiting for the next one…
