A Dark Dungeon Realm LitRPG (Pandemonium - Afterlife - A Dark Dungeon Realm LitRPG Series, Book 1)

By: Wolfe Locke

Narrated by: Travis Baldree

Tell me Daniel, can you kill a god?

A tower, perched on the edge of infinity.
A man, doomed to wander its floors eternally.
A mission, where the balance of the world is at stake.

Daniel is a trapped soul. His life has one purpose—survive floor after floor of enemies determined to destroy him. But when a Dark Lord with his own agenda arrives offering a second chance at life, everything changes.

Bestowed the Godhand, Daniel has but one mission: Survive and climb the tower to overthrow its master and claim the tower as his own.

But the journey will be perilous.

Every floor of the tower contains unique challenges. Each revealing apocalyptic perversions of humanity.
In the monster ridden realm of Pandemonium, Daniel has but one choice. He must become one.

He must become a monster.

Yes. I can.

Well done

I tried this one on a whim and it was awesome. I love the writing style it’s enough info to keep you engaged but not too much to bore you between action sequences. I wish it was longer but still definitely worth the credit

A fast-paced timetravel second chance litrpg

~Disclaimer: I received a free audiobook copy of this book. ~

I read this book on kindle awhile back and have been contemplating picking up the story again. So, I nabbed an audiobook code when the opportunity came around. I’m a fan of both second chance time travel and litrpg books and this scratches both. Of course, there is the downside that the sequel isn’t available at this time.

This is a rather short listen. It is a solid intro, but not a ton happens. But there are other books in the series that are longer to listen to. So, the value overall might be worth it to you.

I like the protagonist. I found him relatable.

The story is fast-paced and the action is well described. The imagery I have of the creatures in the story is vivid and interesting. I think this is a fun litrpg for folks looking for a quick listen.

The narration is excellent. I have no complaints there. It was very immersive.

Reincarnated to face the tower dungeon

Daniel is one of the last remaining humans in the tower. The tower is a never ending dungeon that has crushed humanity over and over. A dark god comes to the last 4 survivors and offers them a choice. One person can go back to their first day in the tower with all their knowledge and skills.

This is a very fun story! The narrator is top notch. The character makes intelligent choices. There is minor language. No harem. No sex.

The only downside is that the story is on the short side at just over 4 hours.

I was provided a review copy of this audible upon my request.

A fun LitRPG tower novel that keeps you engaged.

Wolfe Locke does a great job with this title. The story is set up well, the characters are engaging and fun, and the plot is an interesting twist on LitRPG tower novels. The MC isn't all-powerful but does progress faster than his "new" peers. We get to see who the MC is and what he can become this time around. Absolutely loved the story and look forward to the next book! Audio Version: Travis Baldree did an amazing job as always.

Back in Time

In a world where the damned must climb an eternally growing tower only to die and try again, Daniel is giving a chance to start anew with his memories intact and the ability to slay the wraith that supervise the climbs. Behind the scenes, deities who feel the tower is a perversion work to eliminate its creator, and the tower's creator has his own agenda to keep the end of the world at bay. Welcome to the Tower of Ruin.

This audio book is a bit on the short side, yet is an amazing set up for the events sure to come. The main character finds that this climb has changed just enough that he can't forsee everything, but has heard enough tales of what had come from companions in a past cycle that he has a general idea of what to expect. There is a weight to his actions, and the way he handles the danger in front of him is frankly refreshing.

This Audiobook is easy to recommend for fans of old school Ravenloft, or who just want a dark tower climb where the stakes are real.
