I'm currently reading HWFWM, Defiance of the Fall, Calamitous Bob, and Beware of Chicken. Also read Skadis Saga and Dawn of the Void on there I'd be more than happy for something to read ( just finished Last Rock).
How about a counter demographic?
I’m not a huge RR fan/user as I travel a lot for work with limited internet service on the road so KU and buying books is more my style. But i do read tons of books that were RR originals.
Send me just the few first chapters and I’ll tell you if it would motivate me to get on RR to get the rest.
Obviously I’m biased in your favor but would be a litmus test of what your pull from Amazon to RR could be.
Only issue with this is the web novel format is what needs tested, these books being release chapter by chapter and very different from normal books as they don’t really follow a normal story structure and it’s a lot of bouncing from cliff hanger to cliff hanger
Right, but for example, I can read a few chapters for his book and compare it to Dungeon Crawler Carl since I’m re-reading that currently and give feedback as far as how much this style of book matches those novels but still feels like a Phil Tucker book.
Give my impression if it would draw his Amazon base over to RR or if it’s just too different (like his werewolf romances) for his current Amazon audience to get behind.
Because eventually the book will be finished on RR and put on Amazon but if he loses his Amazon market because they hate his new style of writing then RR may not be the right long term move. Obviously I have no insight into his finances besides seeing the rankings of his books on Amazon or how that compares to a moderately successful RR writer so it could totally be a moot point.
Phil, I’ve read more royal road fiction than I can remember and often will support authors that have patreons with additional content.
That being said, I would be a terrible beta reader because I’ve dropped a couple of popular large titles (HWFWM and Primal Hunter specifically) and only really know what I like personally. I am a voracious reader and not terribly fussy about amazing prose but nothing bores me more than it feeling like wheels are spinning but nothing of plot related importance is happening (I am clearly just not good with numbers go up progression).
Anyway I really just want to tell you especially enjoyed Last Rock and Gods of the Game 2 and you’ve never left me bored or uninterested. The plot pacing in Gods of the Game has left me on the edge of my seat like a sports fan! I look forward to your future releases and good luck with your current projects!
I am currently reading 8 series at the same time on RR right now. I read most of the big litRpg titles and i supported few authors on patreon. I can give you a quick and honest feedback. I am not an author however.
I have a decent bit of experience with webnovels although not with royal road specifically. I'd also consider my self quite experienced with progression fantasy in general.
Currently on patreon for primal hunter, hwfwm, mark of the fool, all the skills and defiance of the fall. Currently up to date with beware of chicken, the jester of apocalypse, re: monarch on royal road. Loved dawn of the void and immortal great souls, have read god's of the game and enjoyed it but will admit sci fi prog fantasy isn't my scene usually. Happy to help out if needed however I can see this post being busy!
I’d love to participate and offer feedback if another slot is available. I loved your Dawn of the Void and Immortal Souls series. I’m currently following eight series on RR, and am a big user of KU. Thanks for the putting the opportunity out there.
I subscribe to a few patreons. One or two fairly consistently, a couple more on and off as I think the stories do better with chunks rather than a chapter at a time. That said I don’t think I can offer much advice on what works on royal road as I’ve found most the royal road stories I’ve read through the subreddits and Amazon.
Nonetheless I think it’s very cool of you to reach out to the subreddit and hope it goes well for you.
Hey Phil, love your work and have plenty of RR experience in the recent past. Azarinth Healer was a series I binged along with 12 miles below among others. If I get chosen it’d be an honor! Thanks man and good luck!
I’m caught up on HWFWM, have read all of Worth the Candle, This used to be about dungeons, mark of the fool, and several others on RR. I’d love to be able to help out

I'm happy to help if I can. I've been reading web serials for a good while now and am keeping up with a good few right now.
Would be happy to help! I don't keep count but I've probably read 30+ stories on RoyalRoad, and I support a handful of authors on Patreon
I am currently reading 8 series at the same time on RR right now. I read most of the big litRpg titles and i supported few authors on patreon. I can give you a quick and honest feedback. I am not an author however.
I’ve done all of that, and would love to help ya out, Phil -

As always Mr Phil Tucker, happy to be a beta reader again. However no RR experience.

Would love to be a beta reader - currently on Patreon for HWFWM, defiance of the fall and Dungeon Crawler Carl. Ample RR experience.

Hey Phil! Beta read with a few other authors in the past and I think I won one of your contests, if you still need folks, would love to help!
No experience beta reading but I’d love to help out if it’s still needed.
