Cultivation Is a Game: A Xianxia LitRPG

Cultivation Is a Game, Book 1

De: Kalzara

Narrado por: Jason Vu

A xianxia fan finds himself swept into a system-run world—and he's about to learn there's a rather harsh difference between fantasy and reality....

One minute, Kai was in his element: surrounded by piles of snacks and soda in a darkened room, blazing a trail of mayhem through an extended RPG video game session with his online cohorts. Sure, it wasn't exactly poppin' bottles of Cristal up in the club, but he was more than fine with it.

After taking down a particularly pesky high-ranking boss, however, Kai finds himself suddenly jolted out of his Earthly reality and cast into a realm he's only ever read about. A world of skills and levels, cultivators and spellcasters, in which the life force known as Qi means everything. In short, a world where Kai can kick some serious ass.

But even as he grows in power and heroic ambition, Kai comes to realize the consequences of playing this game could be all too real. And not only for himself and his loyal friends but for the entire world . . .

The first volume of the hit LitRPG fantasy series—with more than a million views on Royal Road—now available in paperback, ebook, and audiobook!

Tropes include: rags to riches, from a boy to a man, secret identity, fight to survive, and every man for himself.

Mid but listenable.

I’ll get the next one, but there’s almost nothing about this book that sets it apart from the rest of the average books in this genre. It’s a good way to pass the time and its faults aren’t obnoxious. Worth the credit if your cue is full of uncertain choices like mine is.

good story, one annoying side character

Kai's clever strategies and the vivid world of qi make for a gripping underdog tale, though early pacing can drag. The story balances crunchy game mechanics with themes of ethics and growth, keeping you hooked through sect rivalries and demonic system twists. while I mostly enjoyed the story, one particular character mad it a painful listen an I skipped through its dialogue

Mr good book

pretty decent book I like it but some parts I didn't care for but if you are just like cultivation books I think you should listen to it give a good listen like you like it
