Travail Online: Soulkeeper: A LitRPG Series

By: Brian Simons

Narrated by: Andrea Parsneau

A corrupt server, a murderous NPC, and an impossible quest: Save the game. At all costs.

Coral joined the immersive virtual reality video game Travail Online because her waitressing job, like so many other jobs, was automated by a growing robot workforce. She starts as a Seamstress, hoping to craft useful clothing in-game to sell for real life cash. The game, however, has other ideas. She soon discovers a knack for peeling the skins off creatures she never thought she'd lay hands on and crafting grotesque wearables from them instead.

What starts off as job replacement quickly launches an adventure of epic proportions through a virtual reality world filled with magic, intrigue, and betrayal. Can she and her new friends rescue the MMORPG world of Travail from death and defeat before it comes crashing down, taking the world economy with it?

Unexpectedly good

+++very good lit rpg book. I put the series off for a while because of the cover art which isn't that great. I know I know never judge a book by its cover.

A Fun Romp

I picked this title up because of the seemingly mundane class choice of the protagonist. I was a little worried that it would have been tossed by the wayside, but I was glad to find that even as the main characters dug into their strange adventure, the matters of crafting still managed to be at the forefront.

The book was definitely enjoyable. At no point did I feel like the pacing was rushed, and all of the major story points seemed neatly tied together. No solution to a problem felt like it came out of nowhere, and even the character development felt like it made a good deal of sense.

It's definitely not a brilliant epic, but it never claims to be. I feel as though this book delivers a little more than it promised, which is always a sign of something worth picking up.

Tailor turned boss

MC: "I don't want to kill anything" like a half an hour into the game and she's killing things. But it's funny how sometimes we can end up really far away from what we thought we'd start out as. this book is entertaining and what I see that more are out I'll definitely check them out

Nice solid story

This was a nice solid story. Very well done not to heavy and like the newb view. Good for a lone player like me.

under rated treasure

I found out about this book as just a lucky click and sure enough I loved it, very different class styles, good friendships, attitude and personality changes and was all around a good litrpg.

narrator was amazing she had a good range of voices and made it seems very fluid.

excited for 2nd book.
