Ash Aldrich thought life couldn’t get any more dangerous than scavenging monsters to keep his family’s forge alive—until he bonded with a bloodthirsty soul weapon that just wouldn’t shut up.

Decades after the rifts appeared, the humans of Noros have finally managed to fight the monster incursions to a standstill, building protective settlements around each new rift. Beyond the rifts lies Riftside, a world filled with monsters, valuable resources, and the rare gems used to turn humans into classed adventurers.

Ash has given years of his life to being a scavenger, fighting monsters and hauling their carcasses, and supporting those stronger than him, all while saving up mind gems that would one day make him a classed adventurer. But the world doesn’t wait, and neither do the monsters.

The rifts have begun changing and evolving, just like the monsters on the other side, and the fragile balance between survival and annihilation has never been closer to shattering. Armed with a murderous, self-destructive soul hammer, Ash will finally join the fight along his newfound friends and fight to call a piece of this new world his.
It’s time to make the monsters fear humanity.

If you like Ultimate Level 1, Primal Hunter, or He Who Fights with Monsters, then you’ll love Riftside.

No mercy. No second chances. Just strength, steel, and survival.
Head Riftside today.

Riftside is LitRPG Fantasy flavored with dungeon crawling, monster part gear forging, and some light hearted character interactions. I especially like how this book handles exposition. Just the right amount of explanation in the right places without the annoying easy cop out tricks a lot of books in the genre fall into.

It's fun and entertaining.

The narration in this book is top quality. Justin and Jeff are hilarious. The character writing is cute and the narrators and sound design really bring the story to life!

If you're new to LitRPGs you should definitely make this your starting point.

I loved it. It had an interesting start to introduce the concept of Riftside. I really liked the MC and the surrounding camp. I enjoyed the murderous, talking hammer. The system was interesting but it seemed prohibitively difficult to advance. A lot of the concept is the MC’s way to cheat the system but I have to wonder how anyone else gets a class. The story was engaging. I will definitely read the next book. The narrators killed it with their performances.

Great find

In short I couldn't put it away and ended up listening the whole audiobook in two sessions of 15h + 8h.

Really great fantasy with solid LitRPG elements that don't overwhelm as they sometimes can do - there's no 5 minute stat sections.
Story itself is wonderful, very well rounded and it's about much more than just killing monsters.

Production and performance is the usual great Soundbooth Theater quality.
It enhanced the story and never took me away from it.

Couldn't put it away and listened 15h straight

This was great

Riftside had a compelling story of a young man becoming a strong adventurer. I don't want to say more and spoil the story, but it had likable characters and a nice take on the litrpg genre.

The voice acting was phenomenal and wish more audio books were of this high quality.

Can't wait for book 2!

Great story and amazing performance
