Tower of Jack

A LitRPG Adventure

De: Sean Loomer

Narrado por: Johnathan McClain

He's arrogant. A certified pain in the butt. Maybe just crazy enough to survive.

Jack Atlas, self-proclaimed 'World's Best Assassin', had a simple plan: retire in style and marry the girl of his dreams. Then he gets placed in The Tower—a divine deathtrap where gods pit their creations against each other for the ultimate prize: eternal paradise for you and your friends. The catch? If you lose, well, let's just say your chances of finding a decent bar in oblivion are slim.

Jack, who’s never met a hornet’s nest he didn’t want to kick, soon finds himself on the wrong side of The Black Centipede, a notorious assassin cult with a charming recruitment policy: join or they’ll murder everyone he loves.

Instead of sipping Mai Tai’s on some beach he can’t pronounce; it’s slurping down health potions because he got stabbed by a goblin with a particular fondness for stabbing him in the rear. Heroic quests? Conquer The Tower, appease his assassin overlords, reunite with his dream girl? Nope. Jack instead gets sent to 'dungeon timeout' for bad behavior. That's fine by him.

If anyone’s crazy enough to not just survive, but win against The Tower, it’s Jack.

Action Packed and Funny

This is an entertaining LitRPG tower climber full of action, adventure, and humor. It's easily one of the most entertaining books I've read this year.

Excellent!

There were some reviews mentioning that the MC is one you either love or hate… I suppose I can see that, but I personally really enjoyed the MC’s personality. I Definitely recommend this book

dungeon crawler Archer

imagine dungeon crawler Carl except the main character is Archer from the cartoon. loved this. starting the next one

An assassin with a softer side?

An interesting assassin team that gets pulled into the apocalyptic tower. Jack is in the middle of his assignation of his target and gets hit with a stiff penalty. However the penalty could be a blessing. Great start to the series. Looking forward to book 2.

Good story, annoying MC, perfect narration

Interesting new take on the tower format, looking forward to seeing how the world expands. However I'm not sure I'll last long term if the MC keeps up the intentional stupidity act. You'll either love or hate Jack... I'm in the hate side. I'll admit he's well written and actually funny at times, but it's too much and messes with the tone of the book. I think the most unrealistic part of the book, including all of humanity being transported into a multidimensional tower, is that any woman would be able to stand Jack for more than 10 minutes, nevermind agree to marry him.

I'll buy book 2 and hope the author tamps down the absurd personality just a bit, since everything else is good
