Lord of EXP Farming 1

A LitRPG Adventure

By: D. Pidge

Narrated by: Christian J. Gilliland

Most people can’t farm experience in their sleep… or without leaving their room.

The 42nd Merging arrives, mass-transporting every human to a hostile new world with a System. Everyone must choose a Class, and Quest directives compel them to climb the leaderboards for categories like highest level… and most kills of other people.

Jordan isn’t anyone special before the Merging, but the new start equalizes the playing field. He must exploit his versatile class to overcome powerful monsters and opportunistic strangers who kill people as a quick path to power.

He’ll find that the greatest threat may not be monsters or humans but hostile alien species added in the Merging. Sharing the leaderboards and the same final prize, they will stop at nothing to wipe out the competition.

For Jordan, surviving isn’t enough. The System promises unfathomable power to those who embrace it and distinguish themselves. To do so requires more than personal strength. Jordan must establish dominion over the new world, defending his territory and expanding it so that he alone reigns above all.

With the power of multitasking and a summonable army, how hard can it be?

Lord of EXP Farming is a popular serialized novel on Royal Road with thousands of followers and over half a million views. Now professionally edited and available on Amazon and Audible narrated by Christian J. Gilliland.

Great story

The audio was really spotty at times and inconsistent. I did love story overall but could do with a little less explaining.

Crafting progression

The blurb was really not representative of the story. Its a crafting progression fantasy. They guy makes drones and powers them up. Thats it. our main character is extremely weak and has no real personal progression so just be aware that its a crafting character and your not going to see him get any stronger himself through the story.

Random Poor Audio Quality

This book was slow, the ending abrupt with 30 minutes left to sample a different book instead. Bought during the Audible Sale and glad I did only during the sale. The story never fully matched the title of the book in any way, IMHO.

surprisingly enjoyable

when it comes to summoners most books either struggle to represent it properly or fail to realize how overpowered this class can be. by introducing drones it makes the story interesting and prevents the problems that can arise from sentient beings that you can just resummon over and over again.
if you like the RPG mechanics I recommend this book otherwise probably should try a different fantasy.

Number Fun

If you enjoy the number aspect of litrpg, this is for you. Lots of skills and points and rankings. But, of course, there's also plenty of action and stakes on hand. If you like system apocalypse stories, you'll probably enjoy
