Q&A Session 2 - Ask your questions here!
🕑 Added 2025-08-11 13:55:45 +0000 UTCSession 2 of the video Q&A series is being filmed early next week! Get your questions in as comments on this post! If you're question wasn't picked last time, try again and it may show up this round!
The questions can be about anything you want - My own work, the genre as a whole, the process or nature of writing, my story in entering the space, or even a question for Chris.
To reiterate, our plan for gathering Patreon questions, in particular, will be to look at which comments on this post that have the most likes - so make sure to read the comments and like any that might already be asking the question(s) you have, as these will be prioritized slightly. If there's not enough of those, or if one of the other questions is really really interesting, we'll grab that one up and stick it in the mix as well.
As a reminder, as patrons you'll get the benefit of being the first batch of questions asked in this video and all future videos before questions from other sources are added to the list. We'll shout out Patrons in the video itself, as well as a truncated list of patrons in a text scroll at the end of the video! Unfortunately there's so many of you that trying to do a full list crashes Premiere on Chris' computer, so we do what we can!
Also, please understand that questions that are antagonistic or overly negative are very unlikely to be used. And I don't really want to subject Chris to reading them. He's the one reviewing the questions, I only get them live on camera.
Get those thinking caps on and ask away!

That’s a very good question. I was thinking about this myself, however for the sake of the ability not being broken I’m assuming it would have to average out the level of the harem and get % stats based on that level rather than a base % per waifu/guild member.
Alfonso Mercado
This would be cool as hell, especially if we get to explore more of the earlier years of crimson, ken’s parents and the first divers from all different races.

There hasn’t been one since she was introduced at the beginning. I’ve been wondering about that myself, especially since she has been training in the gravity pods + diving deeper recently. I have read all DD books waaaayyyyyy too quick 😩 the story is super engaging. The characters are all unique and interesting. I would love to see Ami getting the same agility ability as ken and dueling him 😂

First I'd like to say thank u for introducing a gay female character into a story and not making her magically fall in love with the main character but my question is. What made u want to create Harley's charicter? P.S. I loved the scene were she was training in the dungen with Ken"s grandma.

Do u think u will ever do “fan book light novels” of just side chapters of anyone that is not main character of books u have done like some other light novels have done.
Sputter
Most of your books tend to see the villain get killed in the same volume they're introduced in and there's never really a build up of tension in regards to an individual threat. I read somewhere that you're more of a "plan as you go" type author, but have you ever considered a more long form style novel series over your current monster-villain-problem of the week format?
Jeremy Daniels
How much will it cost your Patreon members to get you to write at least one more AO book with them expanding past their current land. Or maybe reuniting all three into one kingdom. Like Ardonia
Jeremy Daniels
What are Crimsons stats? I did not see a stat block for her.
Johnny Spriggs
How long do you usually write every day

When you outline a book, do you have a direct vision of where the series will go? Or do you plan it more in the theme of a series and just provide small or large interests and changes per book with the goal you had in mind? Just curious how you think things through.

Is there any interest or desire or thoughts on writing a female protagonist. Keeping the harem model of multiple girls for the Main character but making the main role go to a bad ass woman instead?
mjwhitta
Any chance we'll see a DD prequel series for the origins of the Silverfangs? Either Grandpa's perspective or maybe Sakura's?
Arranca
I'm primarily curious if Ard could beat Bran in a battle of the souls.

How do you begin a book for example creating the characters and deciding on things like power systems and factions Also how do you keep consistent the personalities of the love interests and the progression of the character arcs in your books. For a future Kickstarter is it at all possible for bonuses like statues. I remember a mention of a short series set in the world of saving super villans about the triplets and that one guy miles boosted the power of is that at all in the cards still because I was fairly interested in the premise. Has the thought of making dungeon diving into a game ever been one you were interested in every time I read it I get the thought it would make a great game so I just thought I would bring it up.

Are you planning to do a sci-fi series and if so I hope it is set in outa space. I'd love to read something like the technology used to operate mech suits can only be used by women so the society developed where men captain space ships and women pilots mechs. But MC can use mechs for whatever reason. Love your works
Stephen Britton
AO - are you gonna circle around for Ard to see Beth and the twins? Do you see the series expanding past the continent they are on? DD - i heard you say there is a bottom to the Dungeon (that you have it planned out and that its way ahead ), but are you going to have goblins as dungeon monster and as a sentient species? A mage’s Cultivation- are you even a little interested in continuing this series?? Have Issac go to another world, a heaven’s or hell’s area .. getting the Spirit bloodline??
Alice cabe
Will there be any kind of lamia race to help Ken with the Naga?in dungeon diving
Joshu Savage
Can we get a better breakdown on skill. Like class, absorbed, books and special.
gratch42
You’re producing about a book a month. If you decided to take 2x or 3x as long - how do you feel that could that affect your book quality? Are there planning or editing or writing cycle things you wish you could do if a slower pace worked out monetarily? Or is there a fear of overthinking, losing a work rhythm with too much time?
Chandler
Will Monstrous Horizons ever be finished?
Tristyn Casteel
What is your go to snack when working on new chapters?
Adam
How do you keep track of the stats in RD & DD? Could you give us update stat sheets in an appendix after each book?
ArbabSB
God I hope not. People constantly tying elements in Bruce's later series to some cultivation series I haven't read is a pain.
Joshu Savage
Can we get stat updates with the rest of Ken's party? I mainly want to know for how much Sovereign's mandate boosted his stats by. I mean come on Crimson is part of his harem or does the skill have a range limit.
Brian
How do you figure out all the different personalities and is it difficult to keep them straight as the story progresses?
Daniel Glasson
Is it possible that being Dar locked away is what's causing issues throughout your series? The demon invasion in RD, the dungeon issues in DD, etc.
SpeedDemon266
Pancakes or waffles?
