A war is brewing. Shane and his allies must master the art of war in the Empire if they intend to weather the coming storm.

Shane and his friends journey to Stratholme, a C-rank imperial planet, seeking to hone their skills through rigorous military training. Under the crushing weight of the planet's Impact, which suppresses their powers to near-mortal levels, they enlist in a noble's army, ready to learn warfare from the ground up.

But what was meant to be a simple tour of duty quickly escalates into a full-blown war. A psychopathic noble is hunting them, and the Empire's treacherous politics and brutal battlefields are a constant threat.

It’s a near-impossible challenge, but to Shane, his team, and friends?

It’s the opportunity they’ve been looking for to push themselves past their limits. But can everyone can handle the escalating pressure?

Shane’s journey continues in book 9 of Wish Upon the Stars, a series featuring a weak to strong protagonist with limitless potential in a futuristic LitRPG setting featuring a crunchy, unique progression system. Perfect for fans of The Path of Ascension and He Who Fights with Monsters.

Malcolm Tent

In the fast-evolving world of LitRPG and progression fantasy, Malcolm Tent has carved out a space all his own—not by following well-worn tropes, but by twisting them into something wonderfully unpredictable. His Wish Upon the Stars series doesn’t just explore the idea of power leveling or stat grinding; it takes a sharp left turn into the unexpected, introducing readers to Shane, a descendant of the universe’s most infamous criminal, whose weapon of choice isn’t a sword or spellbook, but the ability to grant wishes.

Malcolm Tent emerged on the indie fantasy scene with little fanfare, but it didn’t take long for readers to take notice. With seven books in the Wish Upon the Stars saga and a dedicated fan base growing around the blend of superhero flair, cosmic chaos, and classic cultivation, Tent has found his voice among the giants of genre-bending fiction. His stories combine the kinetic pace of a space opera with the methodical satisfaction of character progression, appealing to fans of The Path of Ascension, Iron Prince, and He Who Fights with Monsters.

What sets Tent apart isn’t just his mechanics-driven worldbuilding or his clever takes on power fantasy—it’s the personality that pulses beneath every scene. Shane isn’t a stock hero; he’s a flawed, smart-mouthed underdog navigating a universe that’s as volatile as it is vast. Tent’s writing revels in this contrast, offering moments of levity before plunging into high-stakes showdowns, all while threading in deeper questions about legacy, freedom, and the cost of unchecked power.

Details about Tent’s personal life remain scarce—a rarity in today’s oversharing digital age—but what he does share is his love for the genre. A longtime reader of progression fantasy and gamer at heart, he writes with a clear understanding of what fans crave: smart systems, meaningful stakes, and characters who earn every level-up. Though he's still building his author footprint, the consistency and creativity in his work suggest he’s in it for the long game.

For readers hungry for a LitRPG experience that breaks the mold while staying true to what makes the genre so addictive, Malcolm Tent’s books are a wish granted—and then some.

Wish Upon the Stars

In the sprawling universe of Wish Upon the Stars, power isn’t just something you gain—it’s something you shape. At the heart of this progression fantasy lies Shane, an unlikely hero with a unique—and dangerous—ability: he can grant wishes. But in a galaxy where desires come at a price, this power is more of a curse than a gift. Descended from the notorious Wishmaster, Shane must navigate a world where every wish could unlock new strength or unearth dark consequences.

This isn’t just another tale of leveling up. Tent’s series combines the tension of a space opera with the thrill of cultivation, offering readers a fresh take on both genres. As Shane’s journey unfolds, he must balance his growing abilities with the complex legacy of his family. With every decision, he faces a choice between bending the universe to his will or losing himself in the process.

Set against a backdrop of shifting alliances, cosmic mysteries, and a system that rewards power with even greater challenges, Wish Upon the Stars keeps readers on the edge of their seats. The series blends high-stakes battles with moments of introspection, exploring themes of legacy, destiny, and the true cost of ambition.

For fans of He Who Fights with Monsters and The Path of Ascension, this series offers a deeply engaging world where the lines between hero and villain blur, and where even the simplest wish could change everything. Each book deepens the mystery of the cosmos, while Shane’s evolution from a reluctant player to a force of nature unfolds in unexpected, thrilling ways.

Dive into Wish Upon the Stars—where power is a wish, and every wish comes with a price.
