There are more options than the past depending on genre niche and whether you're trying to entertain or write "literary works".

For various genres of the fantasy genre there's a fairly well trodden road nowadays of going from royalroad.com (with patreon) to Kindle/Kindle Unlimited.

royalroad.com lets people build massive followings and then translate them into patreon and other monetisation.

The audiences in the litrpg space right now are voracious and are fairly forgiving of typo's/grammar so long as they enjoy the story.

I'm not sure the same could've been said 10 or even 5 years ago. But again it's fairly genre specific.

Fascinating stuff. I had no idea people were reading (or producing) “literary RPG”. It’s like peeking into an alternative world:

> I… finally did it! And I also leveled as a [Demon Larva] thanks to the experience gained from leveling [Identification]! It was a total success!

> I could distribute my Stat Points and Skill Point later. For now, I focused on what was important. I glanced at the pebble closest to me and activated my [Identification]—

Yeah, it's a rapidly expanding an evolving genre with its own conventions and quite a bit of influence from Chinese webnovels and anime. Your average litrpg usually involves a System Apocalypse or an Isekai Protagonist.

System Apocalypse - God like Magical Computer "System" that tracks peoples stats/skills, recognises their feats and rewards them arrives on earth and integrates the world into "The System" usually in the form of a magical cli gui that appears in peoples vision as they go about their day.

Isekai - Average person going about their business dies in an accident and is reincarnated on another (magical) world with memories of their past life intact.
