Into the Pit

Brad the Impaler, Book 2

By: Paul Sating

Narrated by: Will Colyer

Level up or die trying!

Kill the Vampire King? Check. Unlock a new gamer name? Check. Now, it’s Brad’s time to conquer Darkworld, and his foul-mouthed Chihuahua is barking for an encore.

Building camp defenses, upgrading the house and farm, and setting up defenses are easier than downloading a patch. Helping friends avoid disastrous decisions is the challenge he needs time to solve.

But the chaos-hungry AI is impatient, pushing Brad to slay its monsters or it’ll deliver a permanent GAME OVER notification.

Alliances are forming, new enemies are made, camps are invaded, and Brad’s butcher is lingering like a weird guy at a nightclub, promising more than a creepy vibe.

Brad isn’t just fighting for XP, upgrades, and loot drops. He doesn’t care about crafting a legacy. Blood will be spilled for the dog he loves and the people he cares about.

Is Brad willing to embrace the darkness inside and jump into the pit?

Epic battles, witty banter, and a hero who’s one-part gamer-warrior, two-parts heart.

Romping good fun

Book 1 was good, but everything was ramped up in this second book. The action and the characters are non-stop. There is a great mix of battles. Very creative and imaginative scenes and scenery. Lovable characters. Emotional pitfalls. Everything you need if you enjoy LitRPG and you're looking for more than just fights and level-ups. Will does an amazing job narrating this cast!

not for me

The first one had this problem to but I was hoping it got better in book 2. A bit slow a lot discussion moralizing and tired jokes. The world building and game system doesn't make any sense to me it feels very contrived. To much time spent in the MCs head.

MC is a whiny idiot

At times, the main character is good and he’ll act determined he’s gonna kill something or kill whatever needs to be done and then he’ll try and take the high ground to force his morals onto other people which just reeks of a male savior complex. “Oh my the strong, independent, black lady needs saving by the white guy.”
