Fails WP:NBOOK. I found only these two seemingly reliable sources ( and ), which doesn't seem to be enough. There is also a Forbes article, but it does the same as Sostav.ru. —LastJabberwocky (Rrarr) 13:49, 20 July 2025 (UTC)

- Delete - subject fails WP:BKCRIT. I cannot find any reliable sources that even mention this book, and Amazon.com definitely isn't one (it's cited 10 times in the article!), and the same goes for Facebook. WP:BOOKSTORE applies here as well. Gommeh 🎮 17:54, 22 July 2025 (UTC)
- Delete. This series sounds amazing, but sadly I can't find anything to establish how it's notable. To be honest, this is extremely common with litRPG. The authors may be incredibly popular and more or less household names for fans of the genre, but never gain any substantial coverage in places Wikipedia would consider usable, assuming that they receive anything at all. Series that did not originate in English seem to have a far more difficult time getting coverage, adding to the difficulty level. It's a super niche genre and probably always will be, much to my frustration. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (｡◕‿◕｡) 14:34, 24 July 2025 (UTC)
- Also, with the Forbes article, it's important to check if it's from a staff member or a contributor. I wasn't able to find the Forbes link, so I couldn't tell you offhand if it was or wasn't. But if it's from a contributor it's going to be seen as unusable unless we can show where they would be considered a RS. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (｡◕‿◕｡) 14:36, 24 July 2025 (UTC)
