Step 1: Limbo: A LitRPG Adventure

A Gamer's Guide to Beating the Tutorial, Book 1

By: Palt

Narrated by: Daniel Wisniewski

An ex-pro gamer's body and mind are on the line as he fights for his life in the Hell level of a mysterious "Tutorial" in this dark fantasy LitRPG.

Lo Fennrick is going to die. Maybe later this month, maybe this very week. Either way, the homeless ex–pro gamer is only going to avoid starving if he freezes to death first.

On a snowy New Year's Eve, Fennrick negotiates one last hurrah in a seedy internet cafe, but at the stroke of midnight, he receives a tantalizing invitation: "You have been invited to join the Tutorial." And when presented with the available difficulty levels, he makes the obvious choice: Hell.

Soon, Fennrick finds himself in frenzied, violent combat, and it's a toss-up as to which he'll lose first: his life or what little sanity he has left. With his criminal record, estranged family, and nonexistent future, he's ready to accept death.

But with monsters lurking in every corner, he's surprised to find himself battling all comers—human or otherwise—in a desperate attempt to save his own worthless self. Can Fennrick emerge from Hell with a single shred of his sanity intact—or will it be game over?

The first volume of the hit LitRPG horror series—with more than 750,000 views on Royal Road—now available on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and Audible!

A great but weird book

The narrator was on point and the story was yummy too! More wordy word words

Loved it

Loved it this guy is absolutely insane and absolutely appalling in the best way possible

A must read for thrill seeking litrpg fans.

Too many stories don’t torture their isekai weak-to-strong MC enough. This story gets a lot closer to that ideal. Unfortunately, the main character is rewarded for this suffering, but most readers will enjoy this regardless.
Hilarious story, tear jerking moments, adorable psychopathic viewpoint, a fantastic (yummy) narration and likely to be the best litrpg you’ve ever read.
I strongly recommend this read to people who thought “the tutorial is too hard” was too easy and self-inserty. I also strongly recommend anybody reading this review to buy this book now.

ok why do a feel like the mc is…

A meth head who is going through withdraw? after his mind breaks he ends up hallucinating a screen? gets taken to a mental hospital and proceeds to believe he was isekai’d … thats the vibe i’m getting from the book. step 1 of 12 steps? … i say your book is ok because its takes a lot of effort to write novels but … i like this genre and i’ve seen a mind break before and it is not pretty. if you like litrpg with powerful mc and righteous blah blah blah then i do not recommend this. If you like a mc who suffers from mental instability maybe a manic depressant and kind of dumb then enjoy … it can be a disturbing read or listen at points.

Loved it.

And bite and bite and bite… What a riot this guy is. Keep the pace, I’m having a blast listening to this nutjob MC. Great narration, great writing gentlemen.
