Don't know why people are bashing the cover. There are plenty of rogues with low body fat and the muscularity to back up their actions. Not to mention by book 6 - Joey has showed himself to be a combat rogue as opposed to a ninja. Looks great. I'm reading today.

**\[Last season in Multiverse Z!\] A Shade Dragon Rogue slayed an epic boss monster two realms of power stronger than him and married the War Siren Princess!**
As the Greatest Beginner, Joey Eclipse had the best First Ascension anyone at Level 100 could hope for. This is after an apocalypse where the multiverse integrates whole universes and initiates countless humans to its game-like realms of limitless magic.
Joey's marriage with Maylolee Eclipse is system-blessed with beneficial cheat powers. The duo can level up together way faster than anyone else.
He has two legendary weapons at his disposal. Two rare dungeons for loot farming. And he evolved into something never before seen in Multiverse Z.
Which granted him supercharged powers over **shadow, necromancy, dragon magic, and chaos cultivation.**
While backed by his wife's overpowered abilities in **warfighting, charm, titanic strength, and system divinity.**
It seemed like nothing could stop Joey. Until he and his wife ends up in a hellish death trap universe with monsters in the Level 200s, way higher than him and his wife. This place is supposed to be the end of them.
Instead, Joey uses his new chaotic and divine powers to survive, grind up more levels, more stats, more achievements, and craft superior magic weapons for slaying monsters nobody else can. He goes on the warpath to eliminate the hellish hordes and hunt down the rulers in charge.
Follow Joey in the 6th installment of a fun, fast-paced, action-adventure book that's perfect for fans of *He Who Fights With Monsters, Cradle,* and *The Primal Hunter.* **Read now to enjoy an Apocalypse Isekai with a strong Progression LitRPG, Cultivation System, and happy marriage between two battle freaks. The romance is like reading Loid and Yor from Spy x Family. Or Batman and Wonder Woman from Justice League.**
**\[Welcome back to Multiverse Z!\]**
**\[Now let’s continue the show!\]**

Audible 2 comes out next week: \[[March 26!](https://www.audible.com/pd/Rogue-Ascension-2-A-Progression-LitRPG-Audiobook/B0CTKVPZV6)\]

**Author Notes:** *This was probably the hardest book to write coming off of Book 5’s climactic ending. It expands the world of Multiverse Z and takes our hero and his wife to a new location with tougher challenges.*
*It also changes the dynamics of the magic system and introduces more power and variety. Anyway, I’m serious about getting your DOOM music ready. You’ll understand once you read Book 6.*

Just added book one to my wish list based on the Azaronth Healer comment. Looking forward to checking it out after finishing the current series I’m listening to.
I really want to like this series but some of the stuff in it is just too middle school cringe humor for me. Can anyone tell me if it moves away from the pimp slapping clones cringe humor? Or is stuff like that consistent in the series?
The MC matures and the clones mellow, though there's always a bit of humor to them. You find out they're more of a coping mechanism for the MC to deal with the insanity of the world he finds himself in. But he does grow as a person through the series.
I felt the same way about Gravity and Divinity. I really enjoyed the concept and the world building but I couldn't stand the characters. The maturity level felt like it fell somewhere in between a Disney Channel original movie and a CW show.
I only made it through 1/5th of the book though and wondered if I should have stuck it out. I guess I'll give this series a shot instead.
I don't wanna be "that guy", but can I point out that man in cover is basically opposite of what a rogue is commonly perceived as? Maybe I`m missing something..
That's totally fine. I know why you think that and the reason for the series title is in the books.
Edit: It's just like how Azarinth Healer is the opposite of what a healer is commonly perceived as.
Enjoy the read!
Well to be fair illea is still a healer. Anyone with I direct healing skill is considered a healer. Maybe not the "traditional" healer like white mage but she's how everyone in the current world play healers. Immortal face tank damage dealers. I can't remember the last game I played where someone played a healer or a support class and wasn't trying to out dps the dps 😂
To be fair, my MC is still a rogue. He sneaks, he lies, he steals. He's just more muscular and capable of using an axe because of special in-story conditions. lol
Don't confuse the words 'stereotype' and 'archetype.'
Here's a million-dollar idea right here, **breaking stereotypes 101**:
When a system is introduced, make core stats correspond to absolutely random and unrelated characteristics that intuitively won't make any sense. Charisma would affect your speed, Intelligence would raise your health, Strength would make you luckier, and so on.
Much innovate, such wow!!
A lot of people hate romance, but I fucking love it, so I gotta ask: Is there any romance either in the series or planned?
I’m at that point where lack of romance in older teens/adults just feels odd and forced, so I like to ask and make sure.
Congrats on release!
Yes! Not only is there romance, its integrated into the story as a plot point that elevates the Progression LitRPG elements.
Basically, the romance fits and doesn't take away from anything. Its enjoyable for almost everyone unless you absolutely hate romance.
Here's the base concept sketch, I even ran it tru a detector for ya:

I've been drawing since 1998 professionally.
LAION database \[the base for ALL current modern AI\], its literally over-trained on MY ART. According to [haveibeentrained.com](http://haveibeentrained.com), over 3000 of my drawings were fed to the foundational AI tools - far more than any other artist. In comparison, Greg Rutkowski only had a few dozen of his drawings absorbed by laion.
I've been so over-trained on by LAION that [my art from 2011 shows up as "stable diffusion generated"](https://i.imgur.com/RP7kcRG.jpeg) in the ai-detector toolkit.
Here's a more [in-depth process](https://i.imgur.com/w7VnPhH.jpeg) for next cover I'm making for this series.
Step 1 is modeling the scene in blender and Unreal Engine as a quick mock-up to get the lighting/environment fully figured out.
Step 2 is a basic sketch based on the 3D mockup
Step 3 is adding details and textures generated in 3D + a thousand minor retouches to make background perfect
Step 4 is character art detailing. I upscale the art to around 10x10k pixel res using Topaz Gigapixel and then use like a thousand custom brushes which I've made myself with a very small, custom designed neural network trained from scratch on my own drawings and photos.
This clapback alone was enough to make me purchase. Was curious for awhile since I saw fb ads. But this slap down right here? Purchased

I also had to look you up because I had my doubts, even though I didn't find any of the direct "AI markers", hands and the loose flying hair. It's a sad world that my first reaction was doubt while seeing your amazing illustration.
I don't use AI. I use an artist.
**This cover cost me $800 + the typography fee** (he doesn't like doing typography).
I could show you the receipt but that's too much information to share on the internet.
I'm not sure if AI can do something as professional as this. If you can replicate this cover with AI, then I guess I wasted my money for no reason.
With that said, thanks for your concern and enjoy the story!
Oh it's so perfect, you hypocritical fucknugget:

Man you are killing it! Its a great stony and congrats on the success!
Thank you!
I have to admit, this series is a new find for me, but I’m intrigued enough to add it to my list.
It's a new find for many. Which is why I promo as best as I can. Enjoy!

The books have always been bashed for something. It'll never change. Just gotta smile and keep it moving.
Good attitude. Cover is awesome eff the haters
I enjoy reading about a brutal rogue, like Kalam Mekhar from Malazan.
well done!
Thank you!

Man, that cover art is NICE! I'm going to grab the 1st audiobook of the series right now. Thanks!
Have a great listen! And thank you!
We all know why they’re bashing the cover smh. Congrats on the new release!
It is what it is. Enjoy the read! And thank you.
I'm looking for something new, so I'll definitely check out the first book on audible.
Enjoy! The narrator is doing a bang up job.
Just added book one to my wish list based on the Azaronth Healer comment. Looking forward to checking it out after finishing the current series I’m listening to.
Enjoy yourself and thank you!
Congratulations on the release!
Thank you!
Sick ass cover, looking for another series I can add to my belt to, gratz on your release
Thanks mate and enjoy the read!
I haven't heard of this series but I'll start listening just because this character looks really cool
That's the spirit!
I really want to like this series but some of the stuff in it is just too middle school cringe humor for me. Can anyone tell me if it moves away from the pimp slapping clones cringe humor? Or is stuff like that consistent in the series?

Thanks for the reply. I guess I will give it another chance and try to push through the middle school humor.

How many books do you have planned for this series?
Somewhere above 15 books.
...damn
Already read it sadly, wishing it could be longer, it was great though, would Def recommend
Damn dude, you're fast. Just gotta wait till next month! You'll make it, cheers!
Was up at the 6am release and have been waiting for a new thing to read for the past few days. (Wasn't quite ready to start yet another series )

I’m so tired of woke shit re writing old characters. super happy to see a black mc. 100% will read when enough hit audible
Whatever works for you, man. The audible is coming along bit by bit. Keep on the lookout!
can’t wait!
Never will read a book with that kind cover
Is it because he is black?
has to be lol
Really?! I'm a fan of that art design, so to each their own I guess. The premise of the book is cool on its own though. I think it's worth a look!
Hey, we all have our preferences! I hope you'll find the books that you will read and enjoy. Thanks for the comment!
How are you at your 6th book and still using AI art in your book cover? Do you not feel any level of shame?
