About this listen

A hilarious new Isekai LitRPG adventure perfect for fans of Dungeon Crawler Carl and Full Murderhobo.

Conquer ancient dungeons. Get rewarded. Grow stronger.

After being killed by a high-velocity tree-hug, Arlo is transported to a new world where those brave and talented enough to conquer ancient Delves are rewarded with incredible power and abilities.

Unfortunately for Arlo, there is no tutorial. He is immediately forced to tackle a Delve set to the highest difficulty with a party of adventurers who are not only strangers to him, but strangers to each other as well.

Arlo has no armor, no weapons, no knowledge of the world at large, and his party is growing increasingly suspicious of his lack of preparation and paper-thin excuses for how he got there.

There's also the fact that the System in charge seems to be treating Arlo's situation like a big, cosmic joke.

Determined not to die again, Arlo forgoes putting any points into his highest stat, Intelligence, and instead dumps everything he's got into Fortitude. After all, who needs equipment or fighting skills when you can eat fireballs for breakfast and still ask for more hot sauce?

Mage Tank begins a new Isekai LitRPG adventure that features steady progression, intelligent characters who spend time making intentional build choices, and tons of laughs. It’s not action all-the-time, but Arlo’s life is replete with danger and, more importantly, consequences.

A bit of a slow starter, but there’s a point in the book that locked me in firmly behind the m.c. and got me geared for more. The nonsense is definitely fun, but once a little of the chaos behind the scenes slips out, chefs kiss.

Took a bit. I’m sold.

Definitely worth a listen

I think this will become one of the great new Litrpg series. It reminds me of Erik Uglands series except better written and more focused on progressing the story. Very interesting world and MC. Looking forward to make more books from this author.

Really really good!

The story was very good and the narration was excellent. I laughed and smiled throughout the book and am eagerly awaiting book 2. Reminiscent of DCC in humour.

Review of “Mage Tank” by Cornman

I really enjoyed this audiobook and consider it an excellent contribution to the fantasy genre. I recommend it most highly!

I want to point out at the outset of this review that this title is listed as belonging to the LitRPG sub-genre, which usually means that the story encompasses significant role playing game (RPG) elements. Some LitRPG titles that I’ve read or listened to get carried away with the use of RPG jargon and imagery, making them less accessible or interesting to readers/listeners who are not aficionados of RPGs. This is definitely not the case with this title! While the author certainly uses RPG terminology and descriptions to the extent necessary to create an appropriate narrative, they are interwoven so skillfully into the overall story that the audiobook (or book if you’re not into audio) can be appreciated and thoroughly enjoyed by both gamers and non-gamers.

The tale begins when Arlo has a horrific accident and dies. He is offered two choices: to stay dead or to “respawn”. He chooses the second option without really understanding what it means. He is then dropped into what turns out to be called the “character creation room” where he undergoes a process to prepare him for his entry into his first, or creation, delve.

Arlo finds himself beginning his creation delve along with four other individuals. However, Arlo is not like the others (or any other new delver). First of all, most new delvers come from lineages of established delvers, most of whom are also noble born, and have been looking forward to and being prepared for a life of delving since their youths. Second, it turns out that Arlo’s character build differs from other novice delvers, although neither Arlo nor any of his companions are aware of this fact initially. Indeed, Arlo is so clueless about the situation in which he finds himself that he is forced to fumble along the best he can. His ignorance and inexperience pose increased risks for him and the rest of the team as they proceed through the creation delve which, by its very nature, is very daunting, challenging, and dangerous.

The story evolves from this point and I will not provide any further details because I want the listeners to experience this wonderful audiobook for themselves!

I will share that the storyline is extremely creative and immersive throughout and the characters are drawn in a way that makes them entirely sympathetic and relatable. While listening, at the end of each chapter I couldn’t wait for the next one to begin and I reveled in the tale from the initial lines through the very end!

The narrator is excellent and truly brings the characters and story to life. I am always very happy when I discover a new favorite author, as in this case, and I eagerly look forward to the next audiobook!
