Rise of the Strongest Girl Next Door 1

LitRPG with a Yandere Twist

De: Yuki Knightley, Gwen Grayson

Narrado por: Aurora Bliss, Jonathan Waters

As a C-Tier Lifeblade, Ethan keeps his head down, works hard, and always hits his mark. His skills might not be flashy, but they get the job done—and in SlayerCorp's cutthroat portal acquisitions industry, reliability makes you valuable. He’s built a solid rep as the go-to healer who can hold his own in any situation, with a resume that's earned him the respect and admiration of his peers. But Ethan's biggest challenge isn’t in the dungeons he clears or the creatures he fights.

It’s Lily Chen.

His cute neighbor and coworker is an A-Tier Berserker. Powerful, beautiful, untouchable—and living right next door. For months, Ethan’s been drowning in daydreams, but he knows better than to reach. The Tier gap between them, favoring her, makes the prospect of dating her seem next to impossible. So Ethan keeps his distance, telling himself she’s a dream that’ll never be his. What he doesn’t know?

Lily’s worshiped him for years.

She doesn’t care about Tier gaps. She doesn't care about what others think. All she wants in this world is Ethan.

But when a routine dungeon run goes sideways, Ethan and Lily find themselves permanently connected... for better or worse.

If Ethan can’t figure out how to navigate this twisted new reality and make do with the cards he's been dealt, the monsters waiting on the other side of the portal will be the least of his worries.

The real fight? Surviving the girl next door.

Love it

Sure she’s a psycho, and she might want to eat you and wear your skin. Still, Love it and can’t wait for the next one.

Pretty Gosh Darn Good

I liked this a lot. it's shorter than what I normally picked up, but I love a good Yandere story. This tale has all the hallmarks of a great yandere tale, and an ending that left me eager for the sequel. The VAs did an amazing job!

very fun read. well worth the credit.

Wild

How totally sick she is but could not stop listening to it.
Looking forward to book 2

Interesting start

The story is what you want if you like yandere. I will keep it that simple so you can be pleasantly surprised

Perfect

A great story well performed. This was exactly what I wanted when I read LitRPG and yandere.

A true Yandere Queen

Ok so be prepared for a real Yandere girl. She doesn't let anyone else touch her man. She is insane and cute as can be. Love the narrators, they really bring the crazy story together. I do enjoy the story and the spice is spicy. Book one is amazingly good and I can't wait to see how the story progresses after that ending. Mc is a little to dumb sometimes but the true Mc Yandere is what I came for.

Kept me on my toes!

Holy crap did I lock in listening. The story picks up after the small intro and boy does it keep you hooked! Please I need the full series!

its Good.

the voice acting is awesome. the story and characters are great, and I didn't see how the story went coming.

absolutely phenomenal

I loved the yandere aspect of the story I can't wait for the next bookk

Yandere fun

For your first book Yuki. I so hope you do more of this story. I’m a huge fan of Yandere girls from finding Lucy a Yandere from the anime Elfen Lied decades ago! The story gave me vibes with the portals and awaking of certain people to some aspects of the anime Solo Leveling and I loved that anime. Ethan was a cool MC and not so OP like so many are! The cast of characters were great. But Lily definitely hit the sweet spot. I feel in love with her immediately. Almost the perfect Yandere at that. I do like the not slaughtering everyone aspect in some ways and the fact she wouldn’t have killed him if he left her. Which is definitely not the typical yandere way. Which is cool. Her stalking ability is crazy good. Lily’s I want to crawl into your skin comment to Ethan!! Spot on lol. Just the right amount of spicy scenes. I truly loved it!! I’ve listened to almost all of Virgil’s stories and he’s definitely my favorite author. Gwen and yourself told one hell of a Yandere story!!! Please keep them coming
