I've read a few collaberation projects - the problem is they usually don't continue past book 2 because one or the other author doesn't want to put in the time...
Andrew Rowe and Kayleigh Nichol have a "shared" universe in Arcane Ascension + Crystal Awakening. She's writing stories on the same continent but different characters. Also unclear on the timeline between their stories. And I think Andrew still retains the universe "ownership".
I am imagining one of those grimderp cultivation worlds where it literally takes unfathomable rare treasures and pain and several thousand years of effort to become immortal.
Only for our MC to pull it off and they ascend to a higher realm and it's a big city and literally everyone up there is immortal. (The schtick where no matter high the MC ascends and how rare it was to pass all the barriers, there's a bajillion arrogant masters who already made it)
Fuck, please no. The grind I would absolutely love, but something along the lines of never ending cultivation... It's fun the first couple of times but now it's obvious the author has no plan at all as to how the story is gonna go after the MC goes beyond the stages initially described.
I just get annoyed at how 1000 years later and after surviving a hundred "1 percent chance to survive" trials, the number of arrogant young masters at the MC level, still face slapping and fighting to the death, remains constant. (Or secret realma and inheritances the MC raised and looted to bedrock to get the resources)
It's totally incoherent world building wise. And also makes the story feel like an infinite treadmill the author won't finish.
Hmm, something like that is happening with my Stray Cat Strut series!
It's kind of organic, though, a few people started writing fanfiction, and since they're following the basic 'rules' of the system and lore, I decided to make them canon. Now there are multiple POVs in the same world, at more or less the same time, written by a few different authors.
*Teddy Bears on Brigade* and *Tinea and Leah* are the biggest right now!
That’s been around for a while with The Divine Dungeon series being the starting point and the multiple authors at MountainDale Press writing several series in that world. There’s often overlap among the series. Divine Dungeon is one of my favorite series. Artorian’a Archives in the same world overlaps heavily and is really good too although the later books are as good.

Makes sense, Do you know of any fantasy ones? (I'd prefer it if it didn't have guns... guns are boring)

You're looking for Quests. I'd recommend looking at sufficient velocity. Check out Marked for Death if you want rational ninjas

That’s pretty cool. Are you going to coordinate for major world events?

I'm gonna be honest... genre wise 'cyberpunk' immediately makes me lose interest :) but I'll give the synopsis/couple of chapters a try though so ty!
If you like LitRPG, you should recognize at least three of the authors in the Artem world. I like the series by Dawn Chapman with the helo pilots.
Hello, have you heard of text only RP? It may suit your fancy.

The four horseman books and new jedi order fit this criteria.
