Rule of Cool: A litRPG Novel

A LitRPG Novel

By: Matthew Siege

Narrated by: Felicia Day

Actress, YouTube star, and goddess of geekdom Felicia Day (The Guild, Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog, Buffy the Vampire Slayer) brings to life this screaming love letter to litRPG and the possibilities the genre embraces. Don’t miss her hilarious, high-paced performance of unforgettable characters in Rule of Cool - perfect for fans of Ryan Rimmel, Dakota Krout, and Shemer Kuznits.

Raze is "just" a lowly Gearblin chained to the quest-giver desk at the worst (and only) arcade in town. And that’s a problem for her. It means that she’s a Non-Participating Citizen, someone who can’t see her stats nor make opposed rolls against Heroes. It’s why her life’s worth less than the vendor trash she doles out.

The old-timers swear it didn’t used to be like this; their issues only began once RNGesus went AFK a thousand years ago, leaving the questionably blessed Heroes to conquer everything without consequence. Fortunately, Raze is not about to let something as trivial as a millennium of injustice cramp her style. She’s got a crush on a frustratingly optimistic dreamer who talks her into using the Konami Code as a map to scale the conveniently located and suitably forbidden fortress. And when they reach the top, everything changes.

[Up up, down down, left right, left right. B. A. Start]

What follows is Raze and her mismatched crew doing their damnedest to burn the new "old" ways down to the ground, squaring off against thousands of noob heroes in epic, crunchy, badass, mechanized carnage!

Critic reviews

“Fun, funny, and full of heart. Nerds rejoice for the Rule of Cool." (Felicia Day, Actress - Supernatural, YouTube's Geek & Sundry)

Recommended

by far the funniest LitRPG I read in a long time. Oh and more sexual Indiando then you can shake a stick at.

Very Fun

First time listening to litRPG and really enjoyed it. Also rocks that Felicia Day narrates!!

That's What She Said

Slow burn builds to a satisfying climax.

An underdog story where the 'monsters' fight back against the 'Heroes'.

great lil story

interesting story with good nerd refs and felicia day did amazing job narrating, recommend it.

Not as funny or cool as it thinks it is

The story tries to be cool by dropping countless pop culture and video game references into a setting where things wouldnt normally exist. This just comes off as weird and the story gets tedious. And while I know this is LitRPG the constant stat results just gets old too. Felicia Day however is amazing and makes it mostly bearable. First book I've heard by her and hopefully not the last.
