Jakob Tanner is the author of three LitRPG series: Arcane Kingdom Online, Tower Climber, and Second Chance Swordsman. His books were inspired by the Final Fantasy video game series, Dungeons and Dragons, and all the MMORPGs that have taken over his life at one point or another.
He likes playing board games, binging anime, and eating yummy food. To keep up to date with his shenanigans (as well as the status of his next book) consider signing up to his mailing list here: https://www.jakobtanner.com/dungeondi...
Beyond that, Jakob can be found at all the usual places:
Filler book in series, not integral to the main 7 books but interesting read and worth reading after this character is introduced in the series. I don't recommend reading this before he is introduced as it gives away stuff (a little) that happens in that book.
I have read many other LitRPGs by many different authors and I have yet to find Jakob Tanner's equal. The entire AKO series is simply phenomenal. A must read for diehard LitRPG fans and new comers alike.
My favorite character in the series in his own short story, what could be better. Shade get in to trouble all on his own, ok not on his own but this time he's the star.
