New stories to watch out for

#1
NO SELF-PROMOTION & NO REVIEW SWAPS

Hello fellow community,

Have you also experienced these days where no updates to your favorite stories come forth and you are thinking, "Let's browse the newcomers" after exhausting the recommendations section of this forum?
Due to the sheer volume of newly published stories, I rarely give glance to all the one-chapter posted stories. I often mistakenly consider them feeble attempts with no follow-up. Boy, was I wrong about the quality!
If you also happen to be impressed by one of the newly unknown published stories I would love to hear about it in the comments.

Yours,
Balthazar

Life With An Adventurer Guild is really just getting started with only 8 chapters when I post this but seems well worth watching for fans of slice of life fantasy.

Is it wrong to fleece adventurers at the item shop? Is a great little crafting story about someone taking over their grandmother's shop in a little village and catering to adventurers.

Mass Effect: Jenkins Edition - a fanfic of mass effect from a fan transmigrated into a throwaway character killed in the first few minutes. Of course, he dodges that and causes some chaos trying to move the story forward. I like the games, and this does a very good job of it.
https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/67052/mass-effect-jenkins-edition
Getting Warhammerred [WH 40k Fanfic] - a fanfic of Warhammer 40k, which I am not at all familiar with. But this is fun. A fan gets transmigrated into a shapeshifting bioweapon thing that is OP and just has a lot of fun with it.
https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/73002/getting-warhammerred-wh-40k-fanfic
Combat Artificer - a fairly straightforward American-style isekai, somewhat reminiscent of a style popular several years ago. A fun mix of crafting, attack, and OP-ness.

Legend of the Spellthief https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/44396/legend-of-the-spellthief
Thank you, dear reader!
For five years of sharing your stories with me! Let us look back.
During these times, many gems were recommended, some rose to shine, many went on the path of eternal hiatus. My original intention was to find the stories I was missing out and it worked! I am forever indebted to J0nn0 the Noodlelord for promoting my fledging post in the threads before it become a stickied. He was the first of many to share his repository of stories with me and vice versa. J0nn0 coined the title "New Stories to Watch out for" in a forgotten post. Soon I realized that as an unintended benefit, people left encouraging comments for the news authors on stories I posted, which in turn motivated them to continue with their first steps into sharing their story with us.
If you find a new story and deem it interesting, do me a favor and tell the author in a comment and maybe share it with me. My selfish desire is, that we all benefit from encouraging new authors through our comments to not stray on the path of eternal hiatus. Of course, this initial list also drew the first semi-professional authors about two years after my launch which started using my post as a self-promotion thread. In the beginning I tolerated and frowned at them and stated, that the other readers will judge them on their quality if the promote "glass" instead of "diamonds" in the rough. Additionally, I went out to write, that this post is a reader recommend to readers stories they find interesting section, believing that this would clarify my stance without resorting to outright prohibition. As I believe in free speech, sharing ideas and oppose censorship, the idea of outright banning anyone to state his opinion, even if self-centered, went against my world view. This was naive!
About three years after launch, the first solicitation by e-mails started and self-promotions started to occur on a regular basis, so that I reconsidered my views and since then outright declared them unwanted. I saw the reader recommend to reader process getting displaced and wanted to keep it, as in my experience it does ensure a certain above the cut quality of recommendations on the young stories. Thank you to the helpful Mods and the occasional reader as Tomolone, who help reminding others, that this thread is about you sharing your delicious finds with others. Thank you for five years of looking into this thread and sharing the one story which gripped your attention like no other.
Thank you,
Balthazar.

I will update this list with your and my recommendations at least once a week (otherwise mondays). The list will be refreshed every 1st day of each month. The old recommendations  will be tucked away in a spoiler window for your perusal.

This has been out for few months.
How to Survive a Summoning 101: http://royalroadl.com/fiction/4802/

To the question of how new, use my opening reasoning for the thread and "newly unknown published stories" as a rule of thumb.
I trust everyones judgement since a rule as "in the last 30 days/X amount of chapters posted/No. of followers etc"
might exclude interesting new stories 31 days ago and we all love reading a good story we might have missed out on. Feel free to post any story you consider fitting in.

TL;DR New stories (often with low visibility due newness) which impressed you. Rule of thumb applied (above).

Unfairly, I will arbitrarly decide to include them in the list according to the mentioned rule of thumb. However, your post will always stay in the thread and if they reach a certain amount of stories not fitting into the mentioned category, I will do a new section on them in either a dropdown menu in my post or a new thread. So posting a story which impressed you here is never in vain! But the focus is on the newcomers.
 
TL;DR Focus is on newcomers. If a threshold of stories not fitting this is reached, a new post/thread will deal with it.


---
Reasoning of this thread explained from a different view:


Most people here on the sub-forum know all the must read/stories worth while to read/etc lists and have perused them. They tend to repeat themselves in regard to certain well known stories.

So what about the new stories coming to RRL? They might have only one to X chapters in the beginning, but already left an impression due the quality, plot line, uniquness, funniness, opening, ???, etc. But due work&life not everyone has the time to browse all newly published stories daily to find the next good read already developing. So lets pool our wisdom and experience :)

My plan for the future is to do a house cleaning of the list monthly or bi-monthly by moving the links into a dropdown window to ensure that it does not get cluttered. If this works in the middle term and my and your interest in doing this is sustained, other ideas for developing this further are in my mind.

TL;DR I am looking for new developing stories to read and will share my finds in return on a continual basis since I read most of the "older" stories.

RE: New stories to watch out for

Would you be having a monthly/bi-monthly list refresh? This way, once every month or two, the current list gets archived in a drop down and is reset for new ones.

RE: New stories to watch out for

This is another story that should be in the list. This one started out in february, but the single digit follower list and the abysmally low amount of interest it has generated makes me want to make a case for this fiction.

It is slice of life, sport themed so...very atypical.

It hasn't gotten much interest, sadly. Is that because the story is too slow/poorly written, or because it's only two chapters?

I generally wait until a story has 3+ chapters before I start reading it due to so many 1-2 chapter stories that get dropped.

'Balthazar' pid='726466' dateline='1468672658' Wrote: Wow. A heartfelt thanks for the responses so far!!!

My inner greedy bookpenguin is lying shocked on its back, overwhelmed and gibbering. I am currently trying to nurse him back on its feet by slowly feeding the stories to him.

On another note: A monthly refresh of the list every 1st of the month will occur. New month, new stories, new luck

I'll put your story in my read later folder, since it sounds interesting, but doesn't have enough chapters to keep me occupied for more than half an hour. I check that folder roughly twice a month and as long as there is an average release of one chapter a week with a minimum of 5 chapters I'll generally start reading it. this is because a lot of stories tend to stall after the beginning parts. I think it has t do with most of those stories not really knowing where to go right after the beginning, but I'm not sure since they are often never heard of again.

I might make an exception for your story and read it a bit earlier since it was recommended in this list though. Hopefully this response will also give you some insight into peoples -or at least my- process when selecting new books/stories to read on sites such as this.
