Clan Dominance: The Sleepless Ones, Book 1

By: Dem Mikhailov, Mikhail Yagupov - translator

Narrated by: Phil Thron

Rostislav Grokhotov, an ordinary clerk working for a privately-owned company, just wanted to earn some extra money in the game. He had no specific plans for his new character. Little did he know that his new nickname Rosgard would become the game's next greatest legend.

Even the game's Creche zone may contain items of interest if you're observant enough. Rosgard's find didn't just change his own life drastically - it enveloped an entire game world in turmoil to boot! The adventuring player becomes a valued prize for Waldyra's leading clans. Our hero has to conceal his real name, since he's in danger in the real world as well, and that's no game anymore. There are millions at stake - and the currency in question isn't Monopoly money. Rosgard holds the key to wealth and power in both worlds.

Should you play your own game or throw in your lot with the strongest? This is the question that needs to be answered by the protagonist, whose luck is incredible. Whose side does one take without becoming a pawn in anyone's game?

This BOOK is BAD A$$

What a great first litrpg book I am really hoping the second is just as good.I love the MC of this book because he is smart and yet still struggles in social environments.

Describes a game that sounds actively anti player

The game described in this book would be dead on arrival. No one would want to play a game that is acting to make everything difficult to do, even menial tasks.

Half a Book

Thus book stops halfway thought the story! Just seems to be a way to charge more. So disappointed.

!!Waring This is Way of the Clan re-released !!!

Same author new translator. The narration was done well in this version. Thre are slight differences in the wording like sinkhole became trench. It also reads better a lot smoother. But still the same story as Way of the Clan.

I don’t like it.

The protagonist makes lots of poor choices and doesn’t seem like a good person, or an interesting person. Only the NPCs are kind of interesting.

The content is thin and poorly paced. Too much time is spent on things that never become significant.

So far, I’ve only found 3 authors that do a passable job of writing in this genre. This one was almost tolerable, but the writing fell apart completely as soon as he left the first zone and never recovered.
