One thing that's interesting in writing in LitRPG is that formatting has rules that go outside normal English grammar, yet still has expectations. So like, trying to figure out when I should and shouldn't put abilities in bold is fun.
Genuinely. I bitch about my genre a lot, but I do believe LitRPG has a lot of merits as an art form, and it's just going through it's version of Sci-Fi in the pulp era of the 1920s-40s right now, where the classics will be decided by future generations and the remainder will be forgotten. I write in this genre, in part, because it's a space where I can shape the genre as it grows - and in fact, I know I have to some degree in small ways.
(I really want more queer authors to enter this space and start making our mark here.)
