1% Lifesteal, Volume 3

A LitRPG Adventure

Finding himself on the run from the law, Freddy will need a safe place to hide.

His target? A borderline lawless subordinate territory of the Empire; a land of cruelty, vigilantism, and mountains of ice—the Northern Belt.

Despite having acted in self-defense, Freddy knows that, should the law catch up with him, he stands no chance of being declared innocent. If he wants to remain free—or even alive—he needs to find somewhere he can hide long enough to bury the trail.

His first choice ends up being the infamous, crime-ridden area of the Northern Belt.

With four-stars being banned from entering or staying there, the ceiling of absolute power is lower. With the absolute border of the Northern Spine, there are almost no ways in or out. With the prevalence of greed and personal benefit above all, the Northern Belt makes for the perfect poison jar.

Anyone who reaches the peak of the third star is taken away by the empire for their purposes.

For Freddy, there are only two paths ahead of him—either he will break the jar…

Or come out the other end as a deadly venom.

Book 3 of this action-packed LitRPG Adventure from Robert Blaise set two hundred years after a reality-altering apocalypse.

Featuring a weak-to-strong Brawler MC who never backs down, a unique power system, apocalyptic elements and more!

Well dang

Binged the whole thing in 2 sittings. Quite good and now got to wait for the next.

Not sure if there was character growth or just growth but the MC was slightly less of an ass.

My only quibble is that the MC leaves a lot of loot and storage rings behind at certain points.
Feel he should have a habit from being poor or always collecting any loot he can. Especially after big bouts of bloodshed.

Well worth a listen.

If you like Dungeon crawler carl, The primal hunter and similar, then this is for you.

Just... Wow

This series came out of nowhere and immediately jumped to one of my all time favorites! This 3rd book though? Fantastic!

One of my favorites of all time

So this particular genre of book has become my favorite over the years and 1% nails the story. It has all the basic tropes of fantasy but also gives us a more gritty and grounded story. Freddy is presented as a super tough character but he is still human. He makes mistakes, fumbles his words and loses fights. But through all that we still see him grow as a character, see him mature and progress.

This series has become one of my big 3 series. Right next to Primal Hunter and He Who Fights With Monsters. and I can not wait for more!

Fantastic Book

The only bad thing about this book was that it ended. More! Take my money!
