As many of you know, I write the System Apocalypse series of books starting with Life in the North. The series is now six books long with an estimated six other books to be released before the story is done.
Recently, I’ve been noticing the use of my series name ‘the System Apocalypse’ on a regular basis by numerous individuals. However, the usage of the ‘System Apocalyse’ is often not in relation to my series, but to the genre of books that involve a post-apocalyptic scenario where game screens have happened.
Unfortunately, this widespread and incorrect use of the series name affects the brand of my series that I have worked hard to build. As such, after consultation, I have decided to copyright the term “System Apocalypse” and will, from now on, request that people stop using the term to describe the genre.
I hope that everyone understands the need to do so. For full details of the copyright submission, please follow the link.
I agree. They need to use something more accurate (IMO) for the genre. Maybe something like Apocalyptic LitRPG? Although it is probably a little flattering that the series is so popular that they reference it to refer to the new genre! I can see how it would be a problem, now that there are a few other books that seem to be directly inspired by your series.
Please keep up the great work. It is very much appreciated by obsessive readers, like me. Looking forward to the next book in all of your series’.
*Chuckles* I should point out that this was an April fool’s joke. Going to edit the post to make that clear.
