Neat. Maybe in book 2 or book 3. As that many are planned in this series. But book two will likely be released in 2022 or 2023 as the author will start in a few months his next book being in a Fallout like a world. Then book 2 of LotM. So 2-3 years till then.

Same, there was an event that gave a glimpse of what races to expect, here is the translation.

"To New World" is actually the name i prepped for the new book, cause this doesn't only fit on the surface, its subtext also fits very well, plus it sounds artsy (not really). Alas, editors told me that the meeting with copyright department didn't go so well, they said the name's gonna need work. As stubborn as I am, of course I said I insist, don't you dare! Well the copyright department just flat out told me: we can't register for trademark, there's gonna be a ton of headache that follows. Me: wait why? Them: New World is already a trademark. Me: i... give up. It's always good to be flexible. That's why the new book still doesn't have a name even til this day. Please allow me more time to work on it. Well, considering how hard it is to come up with names how passionate everyone is at trying to sign up to contribute names for random characters, we're opening up this post to collect names. Don't worry if yours isn't shown, this post is only capable of showing 100 message, bottom line: I'll take notes. In order to help you with coming up with names, here's some not too crucial setting information.


[10:13 PM]

I. Available Races: 1. Humans: Options include members of big factions, civilians from big factions, wanderers living around wildland settlements. 2. Subhumans: Human survivors from being mutated by radiation and or infections, and their offsprings 3. Heartless: also known as lycanthropes, or regressors (TN: those are words I snatched from mostly D&D, original text says “beast transformation disease” and “ancestor regression disease”) 4. Sentient Robots: 5. Eternals, who upload their consciousness into robots: the tech is lost with the destruction of the old world, only few machines survived and can not be reverse-engineered. 6. Mutated beasts: more or less monsters, up to you, blueprint off of current existing animals 7. Bionic Intelligent Armor: actually just Artificial Imbeciles 8. Exoskeleton Devices: ok this one isn’t even sentient, I’m just listing it here to make the list look bigger.

II. Available Classes: 1. Awakened: ok no spoilers for now, but they at least have some not too OP but fun abilities. 2. Genengineered: (TN: I bullshitted this word also, I’m a genius, cause typing out “gene-engineered” sounds like a chore, oh no the TN turns out more of a chore.) 3. Cyborgs: 4. Chosen: People who only made some relatively mature gene modifications and have specialized in things like shooting talents and so on. 5. Ruin Hunter: explore the ruins of old world cities splashed throughout the wilderness, and loot all sorts of resource and data, doesn’t conflict with the 4 above (TN: dunno if that means if you can pick both this and one from the above, or if it means ruin hunters don’t go into conflict with the above 4, I lean towards the former) 6. Military: also doesn’t conflict with the top 4 7. Scientist: 8. Smuggler: 9. Black Market Merchant: 10. Cultist: this is actually something important, but no spoilers from me 11. Bandit: common side gig for wildland wanderers. 12. Academy Agent: Those aren’t the exhausted list, you can base on those and use your imagination. As to name style, mostly eastern, but western names are also accepted, codenames/nicknames are fine, too, there really isn’t a limit.

wait why does it sound like he is making a game lol, now I think about it even the original book has a very game style feel you could easily homebrew a table top with it.

Well, he seems inspired by DnD and Fallout.

I hope the original characters show up in those books, especially Audrey she is definitely my favourite character besides the MC.

A New MC but the characters will appear. LotM was more of a setting for The world.

Klein is likely to awaken at the end of Book 2.
