S05E32 - The Four Treasures: Interview with Camadt

Camadt, whose real name is Ben, shared his journey into writing, particularly in the LitRPG genre. Although he comes from a background in mathematics, Ben transitioned into writing through a mix of personal inspiration and experiences. His writing career began when he and his brother brainstormed a story concept during a long drive, which later became his first work, Trishon. He delved into LitRPG after his sister challenged him to write a book, leading to Into the Game, which he completed in just a week and published on Amazon. Camadt's entry into reading fantasy began in college with The Dresden Files by Jim Butcher and the Kate Daniels Saga by Ilona Andrews. He became immersed in LitRPG after reading Bruce Centaur’s Dungeon Diving, which inspired him to explore the genre further. His flagship series, Mantle of the Gods, originated as a project to entertain his brother.
