Mage Tank

A LitRPG Adventure

A hilarious new Isekai LitRPG adventure perfect for fans of Dungeon Crawler Carl and Full Murderhobo.

Conquer ancient dungeons. Get rewarded. Grow stronger.

After being killed by a high-velocity tree-hug, Arlo is transported to a new world where those brave and talented enough to conquer ancient Delves are rewarded with incredible power and abilities.

Unfortunately for Arlo, there is no tutorial. He is immediately forced to tackle a Delve set to the highest difficulty with a party of adventurers who are not only strangers to him, but strangers to each other as well.

Arlo has no armor, no weapons, no knowledge of the world at large, and his party is growing increasingly suspicious of his lack of preparation and paper-thin excuses for how he got there.

There's also the fact that the System in charge seems to be treating Arlo's situation like a big, cosmic joke.

Determined not to die again, Arlo forgoes putting any points into his highest stat, Intelligence, and instead dumps everything he's got into Fortitude. After all, who needs equipment or fighting skills when you can eat fireballs for breakfast and still ask for more hot sauce?

Mage Tank begins a new Isekai LitRPG adventure that features steady progression, intelligent characters who spend time making intentional build choices, and tons of laughs. It’s not action all-the-time, but Arlo’s life is replete with danger and, more importantly, consequences.

Brilliant

Great lit rpg. Funny all the time. Interesting characters. The story really moves. I was sad when it ended. The narrator did a great job. Only negative was the impressive descriptive gory violence and the frequent cursing. Not for kids, IMHO. Otherwise highly recommended.

Fun story, laugh out loud moments, great narration

This was a fun book. Funny snarky dialogue and cultural references. In too many books, that kind of stuff comes across as too forced and isn't funny. Not the case here. Very funny. Daniel Wisniewski, as usual, provided excellent narration. A second book hasn't been announced at the time of this review, but I expect there probably will be one, and I'm looking forward to it.

Not quit squishy

This book has an interesting concept by the Mage, who usually is a squishy person, is really hard to kill. I loved the comedy in the book in the system messages and the companion's manicle tendencies. I am so excited to see what happens next.

Fantastic gamble!

I normally don’t read anything with less than 1k reviews and several sequels but this one caught me eye. The narrator is a master of his craft, the story is comedic but dramatic, the MC is everything I love about good LitRPG, light hearted but dealing with a very serious world. Though he is shaping up to be OP, it’s not out of place because the world is just that unfair.
Anyway, can’t wait to read the next 10!

Great story, weird use of the word "Pause"

I listen to the book before going back and reading the book to check the text. It was a good book the only issue I had was, for some reason the narrator kept saying "Pause". At first I thought it was an error on his part like maybe the author wrote pause in the script meaning he wanted the narrator to pause there, but then I went back and search through the text of the book and found out the author is the one who wrote out "pause" as a statement. I don't understand why he did that because it took me out of the story every time he randomly used the word.
