《Ben the Dungeon》Write Your Own LitRPG: Rules And Philosophy
Advertisement
Our Philosophy:
Nobody makes money from improv, but a lot of great stories start there. And we fucking love the old Choose You Own Adventure Books.
Write Your Own LitRPG is meant as a space for experimentation of the LitRPG genre and strictly not for profit.
Read the story and if you enjoy please feel free to join us on Reddit and join in. The most recent post with appear at the top of Reddit Contents Page (https://old.reddit.com/r/litrpg/comments/90gn3a/write_your_own_adventure_table_of_contents/ )
Disclaimer:
- By writing in the thread you are giving your implicit permission in perpetuity for anything you add to the story to be kept together, and shown with, the rest of the story so that others can read it. This does not include Out of Character comments (defined below) and as stated we're not doing this for profit so you won't lose out. The intent of this rule is simply to keep any story created whole and together for the purpose of being read.
- Beyond that participation leaves you with your normal rights to your own work and you can use work and concepts generated in WYOL without any worry or issue, though you would need the permission of the writer if you want to use nonbasic work or concepts of other participants.
The Rules:
- Every post is continuing the story from the post it's responding to.
- There is a word limit of 500 max per post. You can respond to your own post if you wish you continue your own story, but be aware that others can also respond and try to take the story along different lines.
- Every Reddit upvote on a post brings it's content one step closer to being the One True Timeline and part of the story (though this doesn't mean that you shouldn't feel free to attempt to finish you own story with a hilariously, horrible death if your story isn't picked and comments downvoted into negative numbers will also be considered Dead Timelines so that there's an active way to deal with Spam).

- Every Monday the story shall pick up along the lines of the One True Timeline and all Game rules, Settings, Stats and Inventory shall carry on from there.
- If the MC dies in the One True Timeline, the game shall begin fresh in a new world, with a new character and new rules (as long as there is still demand to play)
- Any Out of Character comments should be in [squared brackets] otherwise it shall be considered part of the game. If there is a need for any other rules please make a OOC comments and we'll resolve it as best we can.

Path of Defiance: Isekai Cultivation
CURRENTLY ON HIATUS High-school senior Rowan doesn’t have a bright future ahead of him. He has no plans, his grades are average and he isn’t exceptional at sports. When faced with the choice to fade into obscurity as a mindless drone in corporate hell or try his luck in a world where mere mortals can battle gods, his choice is clear. Little did he expect that he’d be thrown into an alternate world very much like his old one where everyone he knows is present, but their roles and personalities twisted to fit the cruel world they now reside in. The worst part is, his bully can and will kill him for the slightest offense and Rowan happens to have picked a fight with him. The story is set in a Xuanhuan-based world (basically Xianxia, but extended to include Western concepts). This story is also posted on Neovel. Cover Art from Asviloka's Free Cover thread.

A Man and His Greatsword
Michael Adkins is a unique 28-year-old man. Born with above average strength and emerald green eyes, he always wanted to live in a fantasy world. He was very much into fantasy light novels, manga, and anime, especially a certain one that involves a black armored man with a large greatsword. Michael always dreamed of going on an adventure in a fantasy world. On a whim, Michael is summoned by the god of Alorah, one of the fantasy worlds he had always read about! Alorah's God, Eden, gives Michael a choice of three bonuses and a custom class to take with him into Alorah. This is the start of Michael's fantasy adventures. P.S. This is my first novel, I'm writing this since there were little novels I've found with a main character that wields a greatsword. Don't expect anything good. There will be a lot of mistakes, so please help me with that! P.P.S The later chapters will (hopefully) be much less cringy than the early ones. Please give it a shot!
