CritRPG - A Podcast about LitRPG, Progression Fantasy, and their authors

Join us as we welcome Void Herald, author of an insane amount of popular Royal Road Fictions.

As of the time of writing this, he occupies: 

2 spots on Rising Stars top 3, 

2 spots on "Best Completed" top 5, 

2 spots on "Best Ongoing" top 10

...and most of them with different books. 

This guy is insanely talented, and insanely smart, and I hope you'll enjoy the highlights of our conversation.

The full, uncut conversation and Collected Bonus material will be available on my Patreon later this week :) So if you always wanted to get love advice from Maxime Durand, now you can! We also spoke about emotional self-control and other fun topics, such as traveling, the weather, and narcissism ;)

In this episode, we talk with Dragon of Rochester about San Diego, Anchorman, her career, and also some books ;)

Dragon of Rochester shares the inspiration behind her various stories, and discusses how her story, Tanking Hits, was created as part of a debate with her friend about the importance of execution over having a groundbreaking idea.

She also delves into her more famous story, "When Immortal Ascension Fails Time Travel to Try Again", discusses Wuxia tropes, and what writing advice got her to where she is right now.
