About
Stuart Grosse has been writing since 2015, when he started his first book, Frozen Soul, as a webnovel on Royal Road. A veteran Tabletop RPG player and long-time WoW player, the Gamelit/LitRPG genre caught his attention when it was still in its infancy as .hack//Sign and Sword Art Online brought the concept of a story being in a game world with game mechanics to the mainstream, causing him to write his first Gamelit story, Rules-Free VRMMO Life. This story, published first as a webnovel, and then on Amazon, started what would be Stuart's twin calling cards in the genre: the use of Villains as Protagonists, and the use of episodic serial novellas, rather than full-length novels. Since he first started publishing on Amazon in 2017, his work has exploded to include over 170 titles in the Amazon marketplace, and he has garnered a great deal of success as an independent, self-published author. Forgoing the more kid-friendly feel of the majority of the genre, Stuart's villainous protagonists often require warning labels on his books: "If you have triggers, this is your warning, because I'm probably getting to you." However, his serial novella format and price structure have led him to great success, despite (or sometimes because of) the NSFW content, allowing him to write full-time.
Featured Work
Rules-Free VRMMO Life
The year is 2076, and mankind has perfected VR technology, using the Chip, an implant that interfaces directly with the human brain, using it like an organic computer. Age of Anarchy Online (AAO) is the newest game released by Icestorm, makers of the legendary World of Destiny (WoD).
Unlike VR games before it, AAO promises a 110% 'Better Than Life' realism experience, and to showcase this, Icestorm announces that AAO will have no 'Out of Character' rules, save for actions like hacking or exploiting system errors. Players can do anything to NPCs and even other players, and there will be no consequences save what one may suffer in game. "Do what thou wilt, but it may be done to you in turn."
Mike Greene, better known in WoD as Torgan, a max level Paladin and leader of the Lords of Light, one of the top 'light side' guilds in WoD, now sets off on a new adventure in AAO.

Author's Note: If you haven't guessed, there's going to be all kinds of nastiness in this story. Violence, language, racism, sexism, sex, gore, vore, and more! If you have triggers of any kind, this is your warning. If you're looking for a nice, heartwarming tale like Sword Art Online, keep looking. There will be 'good guys' as well, but this is a story where Might IS Right. However, if you've read Watchmen and Wanted, and like what you read (READ, not the movies!), then you just may find this story in your strike zone. And for f*ck's sake, this is just a story! Don't take this as an endorsement of any of the actions in this story.
