The kids who spent the 80s rolling dice in the basement and begging for a Nintendo are grown now. They have Kindles, credit cards, and a favorite genre most bookstores have never stocked.
It’s called LitRPG: novels built like the games they grew up on, where the hero levels up chapter by chapter. Its flagship series has sold 10 million copies, made the New York Times list, raised $13,290,000 from fans, and Seth MacFarlane’s studio is turning it into a TV show. Meanwhile, fewer than 9,000 titles exist on Amazon to feed them.
That’s the door LitRPG AI is coming and it’s gonna be huuuge!
