Before he was crafting immersive realms of magic and monsters, LeftRight—known off the page as Joseph McCoy—was just another IT worker with a head full of unrealized adventures. Like many LitRPG fans, he grew up drawn to games that blended logic with chaos, strategy with survival. But where most players logged off, he stayed behind to ask: What happens after the dungeon’s cleared? That curiosity sparked the beginnings of Deepest Depths, his breakout novel and the first in a growing catalogue of fantasy LitRPG works.
LeftRight’s stories don’t just drop readers into new worlds—they pull them through. His writing explores the psychology of survival, the ethics of power, and the strange, fragile humanity that persists in even the most brutal game systems. In Deepest Depths, readers follow Max, an ordinary man caught in an unforgiving realm governed by class systems, deadly raids, and the constant threat of failure. It’s not just about leveling up—it’s about staying alive long enough to matter.
Though still early in his authorial journey, LeftRight has already struck a chord with readers who crave narrative depth alongside stat sheets. His work—featured on Royal Road and now available on Amazon and Audible—has gained a dedicated following for its emotionally grounded characters and intricately layered world-building. Titles like World Walker Park showcase his fascination with unconventional settings and slow-burn progression, reflecting a style that favors tension and transformation over flashy spectacle.
What sets him apart isn’t just his grasp of game mechanics or genre tropes—it’s his ability to use them as scaffolding for something more personal: the story of how we grow when we’re pushed far beyond our comfort zones. For fans of fantasy LitRPG who enjoy a blend of grit, growth, and the quiet moments between the quests, LeftRight is a name worth watching.
