#47 - Noret Flood Didn't Think About His Readers At All

Hey hey everyone,this week, we interview the person I am convinced spawned the Chad meme, Noret Flood. Not only did he write one of the most beloved litRPG Series of all time, he also finished it, the madman, at 2470+ chapters. The Legend of Randidly Ghosthound is a book that every litRPG Enthusiast should have at least tried, a surprisingly nuanced take on the System Apocalypse genre, especially in the later books. With that being said, we did laugh a lot, and I had to cut some jokes short because we would just end up giggling for a couple of minutes, but that's Noret for you. As always, I hope you enjoyed listening to the Pod as much as I loved recording it.-M-----------------------------------------If you want to listen to the entire podcast without ads, PLUS at least an hour of additional content for EVERY EPISODE, here's a link to our Patreon! https://linktr.ee/madix3(You can also find my own book here 🙂 )I am active in these Discords and Groups!
