Smashwords Interview

There are so many LitRPGs on the market already. Why should I read your book?
CHRONICLES of a PC Gamer Stuck Inside an RPG approach the LitRPG genre differently other works. First and foremost, it is a slice-of-life ("SOL") book which is primarily depicted through the protagonist's point of view. Book One only covers the first week of Lawrence's life but the book itself runs 110 chapters. That comes out to 15+ chapters per day. I challenge you to find another LitRPG with that kind of SOL focus.
Your (long) book description claims it's 225k words long. Are you pulling my leg?
Nope. Even ignoring the short story at the end, the main story is 220k+ words long. Here's the worst part: I don't plug in the character's status at the end of every chapter and inflate the word count.

But I totally understand if readers feel daunted by the prospect of reading such a long book. In fact, there is a certain podcaster who disliked the length of this book. All I can say is that most people who read the LitRPG genre will enjoy this book.
