The main character is not chaotic evil - he is either lawful evil or neutral evil. http://easydamus.com/lawfulevil.html Here is the mandatory question mark: ????

Maybe after that, his alignment would be lawful evil based on the site you linked. I had actually written it that way originally and then changed my mind later.

Of course, this assumes we're using traditional D&D alignments (which was not stated anywhere) and there are arguably still some chaotic elements to his behavior after CH 21. (less)

I put off reading this book for a few weeks because I wasn't sure about a villain type main character. I devoured at least more 20 other litrpg books before I decided to give Awaken online a go. This book is now one of my favourite Litrpg books. It's better than most Litrpg books out there. so many people are missing out. Easy 5 stars. When is the second coming out. ?

Travis Bagwell Aiming for Q1 2017. Don't have a hard date yet, though. Pre-order will probably go up in January.…moreAiming for Q1 2017. Don't have a hard date yet, though. Pre-order will probably go up in January.(less)

Hi what inspired you to write this wonderful book the reason I ask it kinda remind me of a few games I have played myself?

Travis Bagwell I actually read an original online serial that had a protagonist who was a necromancer - not certain I can even remember the name now. I kept thinking…moreI actually read an original online serial that had a protagonist who was a necromancer - not certain I can even remember the name now. I kept thinking the whole time, "Damn, I'd have just taken over the whole town."

With regard to game mechanics, I'm not certain I can point to just one game as inspiration. I'm pretty sure I've played almost every RPG released since like 1995. If I had to point to a few games in particular, I'd probably say Diablo 2, WOW, a few eastern MMOs/JRPGs for the tagging system on quests, Divinity: Original Sin for environmental combat, and the Might and Magic system (not the RTS) for some of the skill conventions.

Keep in mind that any particular gaming mechanic is not really unique to the games listed above. They're just what comes to mind. I feel like so much of the leveling, skill, and combat systems in RPGs have been rehashed at this point that it's hard to point to one game where they originated.(less)
