Joe starts the series as a healer who realizes that the game world he’s been pulled into is one he may never leave — and decides to approach that with systematic completionism, pursuing every skill and quest available rather than just the path of least resistance. Ritualist (2018) opens the series and establishes both his character and the class system that defines his abilities.
Krout expanded the series to fourteen books through 2026, with the main character’s progression through ritual magic and world-building central to each installment. The series has a consistent fanbase among LitRPG readers who enjoy systems-heavy progression rather than pure action, and it performed well on Audible as well as in ebook format.
