Through platforms like RoyalRoads.com, Macronomicon’s stories have built a devoted global following, proving that even from a remote corner of the world, imagination knows no bounds.
Born and raised in Alaska’s sparse, untamed landscape, Macronomicon turned isolation into a creative crucible. With the nearest job over 60 miles away and a soda run requiring a 15-mile trek, he embraced writing as both a livelihood and a passion, crafting narratives that reflect the resilience and vastness of his surroundings.
The Making of Macronomicon
Little is known about Macronomicon’s personal life—he playfully dodges the ‘middle-aged guy with a generic pet’ stereotype in his bios, preferring a mythic persona. Hailing from Alaska, where daily life demands grit, he found inspiration in the state’s harsh beauty and solitude. His writing journey began on RoyalRoads.com, a hub for web novels, where he debuted in 2018 with raw, unpolished stories. The first reader comment? A blunt, “Can you make the main character less stupid?” That feedback sparked a creative evolution, honing his knack for clever protagonists and intricate plots.
Influenced by sci-fi, fantasy, and LitRPG (a genre blending role-playing game mechanics with storytelling), Macronomicon developed a style that pokes fun at tropes while embracing them. His hyperactive imagination, fueled by Cheerios and beef jerky in a tiny room, birthed tales that resonate with readers seeking both escapism and intellect.
Macronomicon’s Unforgettable Stories
Macronomicon’s bibliography is a treasure trove of inventive web novels, with the Systems of the Apocalypse series standing as his flagship. The first book, Apocalypse: Generic System (2020), follows Jeb Trapper, a veteran battling PTSD who faces a chaotic system apocalypse while high on ecstasy. Readers praise its fresh magic system and witty humor, though some note uneven pacing. Its sequels—Fairy System (2021), Dungeon System (2021), and Quest System (2022)—expand the universe, introducing quirky characters like SmartAss the fairy.
Beyond this series, Wake of the Ravager (2018) blends fantasy and superhero elements, following Perry Z, a magically inept hero navigating a system-driven world. Industrial Strength Magic (2024) dives into urban fantasy with a tech-savvy protagonist, while Fair Princess (2024) offers a lighter, standalone adventure. Macronomicon’s style—marked by unconventional magic, sharp dialogue, and a disdain for ‘punch-wizard’ clichés—keeps readers hooked, blending humor with darker, apocalyptic themes.
