Will of the Immortals and Founders Edition w/Jay Krauss

The fastest way to understand Jay Krauss’s books is to hear how he thinks: character first, world second, and a writing process that feels closer to tabletop roleplay than careful outlining. We talk about Will of the Immortals, his cultivation LitRPG progression fantasy series where Leon Jeager, a 16th-century German knight, gets isekai’d into a world of gods, monsters, quests, and hard-earned power.From there we jump to Immortals Mask, the prequel to Will of the Immortals, that follows Satau, and what it means to write a companion series that enhances the main story without forcing readers to commit to two long runs. Then we dig into Founders Edition: Lighting the Forge, his upcoming VRMMO LitRPG. A desk-bound man facing cancer enters an experimental program, becomes a founder inside the world, and chooses mining, crafting, and a quiet life over heroics, at least until future players show up and mistake him for an NPC. Subscribe, share this conversation with a friend, and leave a review if you want more author deep-dives like this.Support the showYou can connect with me here:WebsiteTiktokYoutubeFacebookYou can also subscribe to my newsletter on my website to get episode reminders, access to unedited episodes, a monthly list of upcoming titles and the chance at a free book from each author I interview.
