Reviews are the single biggest factor in whether your LitRPG book succeeds or disappears. Here is what the data shows for this niche:

✓Launch with 15-25 reviews minimum — books with fewer than 10 reviews at launch are invisible to Amazon's algorithm in this competitive niche.
✓Target 15-25 reviews in the first 30 days — this builds momentum in your category.
✓Reviews must be genuine and Amazon-compliant — avoid any service that offers paid or incentivized reviews, which violates Amazon's terms.
✓Match reviewers to your niche — a LitRPG book needs readers who actually read LitRPG. Generic review services don't know the difference.
