Author’s Note
Thank you for reading Book 4 and I hope you enjoyed it. This book was a real struggle to write, with some aspects of the System and the larger Galactic System requiring backend fleshing out before I could go ahead. In addition, I struggled a lot with how much to include in the settlement building, between my own desire to explore the concepts involved and John’s reluctance to actually get his hands dirty.
I’d like to reiterate that I am grateful for the support all of you have provided. While I’d still be telling myself John’s story, I certainly wouldn’t be spending time writing it.
If you enjoyed reading the book, please do leave a review and rating. It helps sales and yes, that’s the reason I write!
In addition, please check out my other series, the Adventures on Brad (a more traditional LitRPG fantasy) and the Hidden Wishes (an urban fantasy GameLit series_. Book one of each series follow:
