LEARN—PROGRESS—SURVIVE

Jason and his friends just wanted to spend a week at the lake house. Time to relax, hang out, and catch up on old times. Then the System arrived.

It only took a few hours for their world to become a real-life roleplaying game; trading some downtime for the need to learn new skills and powers while trying to defend their new home, their families, and survive.

They don’t know the rules. They don’t know what’s coming next. What they do know is; they need to reinforce and expand their fort while protecting it, keep leveling up, and explore a dangerous new world.

Jason and his friends have no choice but to grow as a team in this base-building LitRPG that kicks off a new series.

And we let the bejewey begin to save in the universe and I world. There's some interesting mechanics here. How to start a beating system and help humanity as well as family dynamics. That's a good read for around the pool

And let the druid begin

I absolutely adore the concept of a group of D&D nerds working together to face the System apocalypse.

This book is the early days of learning about the system from the viewpoint of the party druid as they face the dangers and all too human desire to help others and reconnect with family..

A fantastic slice of life adventure that follows normal people on their journey into danger and magic.

The narrator was solid and fit the mood of the book well. 10/10

Good fun

Stale all the way around. From narattor sounding like a robot, which he may be. To the story having no emotional connection, just a terrible combo.

reading a list

This reads less like something happening to the reader or listener, or even to the main character and more like someone's statistical summary, or their story after the fact. Dialogue is mostly "we talked about it and decided..." more as a summary and less as anything engaging, I would have preferred more individual lines to give the characters more personality and flavor.

I wanted to like it, I still do, I like the concept, but this story in particular was a flop for me. The leveling and fort building concept sounded interesting. The immersion left a lot to be desired. This is an ok story... but that's about it.

That said, if you're ok with not being immersed in the story and enjoy a second hand account, ie "so Bob and I walked down the path" or "I was as five percent, I so..." or "we decided to do x" it's ok.

a D&D diary, not a D&D experience

I'm currently writing this review at chapter 14 because I'm not sure if I'll finish this book. I like that it's a group setting with friends surviving the rpg Apocalypse but it's just giving tabletop D&D rpg and I don't really like that and the progression is too slow to me. I'll write another review if I end up finishing the book.

it's eehh?

I usually dont go for base building litrpgs, but I am glad I listened to this one. the characters worked together flawlessly. Which is quite refreshing, to be honest, I am way too used to betrayal in litrpg, instead I get real friendships which was honestly great. The story had a steady pace and I honestly look forward to listening to it again. Great job all around.

Great story, loved the characters

it read as the most basic of stories to be told. there is alot of telling instead of showing. I won't be returning to this series despite the increase of storytelling skill near the end of the book. But while I love the dynamics and events that equated to footnotes in the narrative. I will have to dnf this series because that's what 80% of the story is. notes, or diary entries.
