Dungeon Tour Guide 3: A LitRPG Adventure

Dungeon Tour Guide, Book 3

De: Aaron Shih

Narrado por: Travis Baldree

The world is beginning to crack. Lucas will hold it together—or die trying.

The omen's demise is itself an omen of times to come. The king, long constrained by the goddess' rules, finally has the chance to exercise his power over the world. Lucas soon realizes that those ambitions don't just stop at one world.

As reality crumbles apart around them, the king enacts his plan, and the goddess meddles as she pleases, it will take everything Centerpoint has to even survive, let alone win. Victory is a process, and Lucas will ensure that humanity lives to see it complete.

No matter what it takes.

Great book, awful sequel.

As a stand alone book, it was great, well written and resolves nicely, as a sequel it makes me so mad and breaks its own established world building. Baldness is perfect as always.


Spoiler warning.

Now. Here comes the negative review half: its a god awful sequel to the first two books. it feels like the author got bored and decided to cram the last two books into one and broke their own world building. Which, the writing being good makes all the more irritating. this book starts very shortly after the last book ends, which was an excellent bittersweet ending with triumph and loss and all the good stuff. priestess proceeds to drop the bomb that the Goddess has been unstable for a while, which has never been shown before, and then the goddess proceeds to decide she's bored with everything and starts actively fucking all the heroes over. Like literally goes from one of the only good depictions of a relatively benevolent god that I've seen to the standard shit god who is petulant and tries to break her own game for "entertainment".
This whole book takes a goddess who previously was watching possibly dozens of worlds doing interesting things and makes her (for no apparent reason) suddenly only care about this one world to the point where she will break it because its "boring". The tonal whiplash was terrible and soured the entire book because its so completely out of no where and makes no sense with anything stated or shown in the previous 2 books. hence why I say its a good book and a terrible sequel. thats

The ending

The ending was amazing the whole book was incredibly written and I can relate to some struggles of the characters I loved the first two books too

It's not bad, but...

Everything has moved way too quickly, both in this book and the last. I'm disappointed that the plot went straight from helping out a low level adventuring party to fighting multiple extinction level threats. None of the character deaths mattered because there was no time spent becoming attached to them. It's not a terrible story, just a lot of wasted potential that leaves you feeling whiplashed frequently

Hard left turn

I liked the first two books, but this one took such a left turn from what that was, and what I was expecting from this series as a whole. I did not appreciate how it changed, and it did not feel like the same story anymore.

Amazing series

Such a great book! Sure there were some boring/down parts. But overall, amazing.
Finally a series I can say, it ended well
I could say more, but if you want more, you’ll need a guide.

Entertaining and well paced. Real pro narration

I enjoyed this book it was nice and fast paced. Best narrator in the business

Simply Beatutiful

Considering that much of LitRPG contains books spanning over a dozen volumes, it’s nice to see a story that wraps up in three. It’s a thrilling conclusion that leaves you fondly remembering the series and its characters.

wonderful world building and breaking

engaging characters that make you laugh and cry. it made you care about everyone and hope for their survival. enjoyable listen with great narator

I found a mistake

I love Travis and I get recording a book is hard and I’m not pointing it out to hate on him in any way. I just want to point it out for shits and giggles.

In chapter 29 at around 6min and 50 seconds Travis uses a character voice for the wrong person

He uses throns voice for Anton sentences then uses the same voice right after when it’s thorns turn

Lost a lot juice for me

Just felt like the author didn’t want to tell this story anymore. No bad but definitely a rush to the finish line.
