169: Generational Sin and Atonement in "The Buffalo Hunter Hunter"

164: "The Strength of the Few" Who Can Survive a 700 Page Book
The follow-up to "The Will of the Many" is somehow even longer and sees three complex storylines weave together intricately into a world-building masterpiece. But is it worth the 700-page investment?
163: "We Love You, Bunny" Or do we?
The world of "Bunny" is back with a story from the bunnies' POV, and that of their first darling. And if none of that makes sense to you... same. It's a wild ride. And it's quite the switch up in…

157: The Role "Dungeon Crawler Carl" Plays in LitRPG
