This means that most of the time, the characters will know that they are in fact inside a game. LitRPG stands for Literary Role Playing Game, and it basically integrates the elements of MMORPG with SFF novels to create a story that revolves around characters inside and outside an in-game world. There are many reasons why this book worked so damn well for me but in order to explain them properly, it’s mandatory for me to give a little insight on what LitRPG is and what first made the genre famous. I’ve read Senlin Ascends and the previous years’ SPFBO top 3 books, so I know what I’m saying is a very bold claim but I’m confident with it due to one simple reason: I am the perfect audience for this book. In fact, I think of SAM as the best book to ever appear in SPFBO. Like Senlin Ascends by Josiah Bancroft or The Grey Bastards by Jonathan French, Sufficiently Advanced Magic (SAM) by Andrew Rowe is truly a gem in the self-published fantasy world that is on par or even better than many traditionally published fantasy books. ![]() This kind of book is why I’m thankful for the SPFBO competition because without it I might have never heard about this book at all. Simply enthralling and fun from cover to cover. ![]()
