Welcome!

Hey everyone! It’s me, your favorite author! I’m very excited to introduce you to my very own blog, which I’ve affectionately dubbed, “From the Bean Bag of Aaron Oster.”

The incredibly original name came about as I do much of my writing on my amazing bean bag chair, as it provides the perfect combination of comfort and conforming to my body. The bean bag I’m currently sitting on is the Yogibo Short, so if you want to have your body hugged by the same bean bag as a famous author, then click here.

In this blog, I’ll be presenting a wide variety of various content. There’s no real rhyme or reason to anything I do, so these blog posts will mimic that and will vary based on my mood. Expect to find things like top five and top ten lists; movie reviews; video game reviews; thoughts on books I’m reading and many other, exciting things.

I can’t tell you to expect much, but I can tell you that you’ll receive a boatload of my sardonic wit and humor, as well as my unabashed and honest opinion on everything under the sun. I hope you enjoy!

Top 5 Overused LitRPG Tropes

Top 5 Overused LitRPG Tropes

We all know and love LitRPG books (If you didn’t, you probably wouldn’t be on this site or reading this post.) They provide the awesome and fantastical worlds of sci-fi and fantasy books, and they also throw in fun and exciting elements that really change up the genre. However, no genre of books is without its tropes and clichés. Join as us we count down the top 5 overused tropes in the LitRPG genre!

Book Update: Buryoku, Book 1 (Title TBA)

Book Update: Buryoku

 

Hey all! I just wanted to give you an update on my upcoming series, Buryoku! This story diverges a bit from the literary style of Rise to Omniscience, as it’s not a LitRPG, and it will be more of a cultivation series.

 

After working on the first book for nearly a month, I have finally completed the first draft, and have sent out the draft to some beta readers and will use that information to get ready for the final draft. Once that is done, the book will be sent out to the editor and then it will be sent out to you guys! I’m hoping to have the book released in September, to stay tuned!

 

I also have an amazing artist, Lukasz Poduch, who’s doing some character artwork, keep your eyes peeled for that as well! Lukasz also works for CD Projekt Red (makers of the incredible Witcher series, and the highly anticipated Cyberpunk 2077) and you can check out more of his work here.

 

Enjoy!

Monster Hunter World Review

Monster Hunter World Review

Although Monster Hunter World originally came out in January 2018, I’m writing this review now because A. The Iceborne DLC is coming out in September, and B. This game more than any influenced my imagination for the creation of monsters. (There’s also the fact that I didn’t have a blog before this.) Anyway, if you haven’t yet played it, spoilers are too follow. Enjoy the review!
