So, first of all, the audiobook for book 1 of The Legend of William Oh should be available for Pre-order March 3rd of next year, releasing two weeks later.
That being said, the audiobook people are looking for comparisons to other already published books to help them figure out exactly where to best advertise it.
So they want stuff like 'The Legend Of William Oh is like XXX but funnier/more violent/Etc.'
Or, 'The Legend of William Oh is like if XXX and XXX got togethe...

“My Lord, the Tangled have cut off the southern fort and overrun the eastern one. We’re currently devoting every man we have to scouring them from the countryside but the rate that they are reproducing behind the frontlines is untenable.” The scout said, standing rigid.
“Frederick’s monster come back to bite us in the ass, I suppose.” Caddock said. “Amazing how much more loyal a dog is when you don’t kick it. That Fucking moron.”

This feels wrong.
How so?
The way his Party is moving around, dodging us, not making any desperate attempts to clear a Key Site and run. They’re buying time, but something about it feels…dangerous. Like there’s a guillotine blade hanging over our heads, and they’re just waiting for it to fall.
The question is what, and when?

“Report.” Caddock said as Orev Harti appeared in a puff of feathers. He could tell from the man’s expression the mission had failed, but the details were important.
“William Oh made a new Build in order to catch us off-guard.” Orev said. “A Thorns Build. The backlash from Walten’s Ability exploded Argus.”
“So he expected us to target his weaknesses and shifted strategy. Thorns, huh? With lifesteal? A thorns-tank Build?” Caddock asked, peering down at the map an...

William Oh once told a miniboss to die.
It asked ‘how dead?’

Walten Reed didn’t hold his breath as they crept closer and closer, instead inhaling and exhaling as evenly and quietly as possible. The insects surrounding the camp could smell it, of course, but it was better than making an audible gasp as his air ran out.
The insects might be able to perceive them, but their little minds were easily controlled by their CC spe...

It’s been a month. He should’ve been here by now. He’s planning something, but the sheer amount of time he’s spent suggests he’s growing complacent. The enemy does not wait for your convenience. Send the newly-minted assassins and scouts. I want him dead, or failing that, I want to know what he’s up to.

“How can I help you, sir?” The brown-haired clerk at the Exchange Hall of Akul asked with businesslike politeness. Will could smell a bit of sugar and almond, and he could hear a rounded shape with a bite out of it occluding the wood on the other side of the bar. She must’ve been rushed out of her lunch without finishing desert.

William Oh is the ultimate wingman. He once broke the ice between a centaur and a mermaid. They’re still together to this day actually, making those disgusting half-human, quarter horse, quarter fish babies that raid the coastal villages of Del’mar.
Regardless of how ill-advised that match was, or how we’re still paying for it now, William Oh did it. because he is the ultimate wingman.

Birdsong echoed across the clearing, and the sun was beginning to flirt with the horizon. The massive lump of glass was still smoldering off to the side, faintly cracking as the outside cooled off faster than the inside.
It had been quiet for quite some time.

I need more information. Here’s the important follow-up question: Will thought, using his snakes to freeze the terrain in place. Kincaid made a strangled whimper, like someone had just stepped on his throat.
Is this flesh surrounding me actually Kincaid or a projection created by an ability?
Will walked up to a lump sticking out of the wall and hacked it off with his tomahawk before offering it to the Tower.

Why do you keep folding it over and over?

Even after the dough is mixed there’s still little pockets of resistance in there. Folding it over…and…over ensures that any little clumps get broken up and ensures that your enemies…don’t…escape.

“So, just to clarify, you picked an eye Ability on the night before a critical duel, and now you can’t see?” Loth asked.

“I am defeateeed!” The stone golem with an unconscious fae jutting out of the top of its head cried in its rumbling voice, slowly – and dramatically – sinking into the ground, leaving behind the unconscious body of the last of the four gate guardians.
Will and Travis shared a glance and shrugged before they stepped around the fae and continued on their way, arriving at a massive, ornate double door decorated with the bones of heroes who had come this far.

Context: I just finished talking to Soundbooth theater about making the audiobook, and they were very excited about the legends at the beginning of the chapters.
I told them the campfire tall tales, paul bunyan/Chuck Norris vibe I was going for, and they were 100% on board, suggesting making them happen between chapters with different voices, campfire sound-effects, and making an end-of-book cluster of 6-8 formatted like a group of Climbers sitting around a campfire, bullshitting about...

Will noted the sound of shuffling clothes come to an end, indicating that she was dressed.
“Alright, miss Onacona, dressed?”
No answer.
“Can we talk or is this gonna be one of those-“
A wicked hunting knife burst through the door, followed by the rest of the fae, as easily as someone stepping through a water curtain streaming off the eaves of a house.
Will had heard the steps toward the door, and the air as it parted, so he caught her wrist and pul...

I was going through and didn't see any extra suggestions that called out to me personally, nor were any particularly highly-upvoted.
Mostly the discussion seemed to be between two Covers:
#1: Where Loth and Will are watching a play of Will slaying a black dragon (Loth).
#3, where Will et al. are having a picnic while while a kaiju looms over the city.
I saw the suggestion of combining the two and adding a kaiju above the play and I don't think it's bad, I just thi...

Kincaid was enjoying the way the expensive lamp oil blended with the smell of fear as he inspected his newest acquisition. The flickering light made the woman’s expression of terror gain a new delicious life with every shadow-shifting movement.
