NGM #1: Changing Faces (Patreon)

Hello, everybody. Unusual post for unusual circumstances. I am thinking about the release of my second novel, the one $10 patrons have already gotten a chance to read. But before I do that, I wanted to update you guys and also check in on a couple things.

First, the above is my intended cover. Someone please stop me if the text is an abomination to graphic designer eyes. The artist who did the drawing declined to add the title or choose the font, so I attempted it myself, and I'm bad with that sort of thing . =/ I have no graphic designer contacts and I'm too worn down to think of trying to contact anyone new, but I don't want to handicap myself with something that looks amateurish.

Second, do we have anyone here who uses Amazon to read fantasy or especially LitRPG? The Amazon algorithm is apparently very finicky and I'd like to get things off on the right foot. Volunteer if the book seems of interest to you (description below) and you have time/inclination to review.

Like with my games, most patrons will probably be able to get a free copy, but we're not quite to the release stage yet. Gotta get all the details in order first.

Anyway, here is the novel's description:

"Bloodwraith thought of himself as an effective villain, until a single adventurer destroyed his entire lair. With his last breath, he switched bodies with the adventurer and discovered that his world was built on lies. Alien beings from another dimension were using his world as a game... and now he was one of them.

The problem is, Bloodwraith has no experience being an adventurer. He was a mage, but his new body is only good at hitting things. He relied on undead minions, but now he has no choice but to depend on other people. And worst of all, strange boxes are constantly appearing in his vision, describing the world in unfamiliar, nonsensical terms.

Taking over the world is off the table, because the alien gods might be watching. To survive, Bloodwraith will need to learn the truth about himself and his world. And that means acting like an adventurer, at least for now."

The Sarah Lin pseudonym exists to prevent SFW readers from getting offended by my adult work, but it's not exactly a secret. Still, I'm not going to announce it on the blog or other public places until the book has stabilized. So let's not go talking about this everywhere - this is an early update for you guys since you supported me in writing this book.
