I think it was over 4.7 at one point, and is at 4.58 now (i.e. in the "standard" range!).To be fair though, I don't think lit-RPG and new age romantasy's audiences overlap significantly. In fact, I suspect most people who might read Fourth Wing or Throne of Glass or anything by T. Kingfisher will be actively repulsed by most lit-RPG. And people who read T. Kingfisher might well like Tigana.</blockquote>
