Towers of Heaven (The Complete Series)

A LitRPG Adventure

De: Cameron Milan

Narrado por: Steve Campbell

One day, six towers appear on Earth. Each one stands hundreds of stories tall, and are invulnerable to all attacks. At the base of each tower is a portal, welcoming in all who dare enter it. All sorts of magical monsters can be found inside the towers. Even treasure, magic and superhuman strength can be acquired. The problem is that the towers aren't a friendly place. Even worse, the towers sometimes release waves of monsters to attack Earth.

In the year 2083, there are only a hundred survivors. In one last attempt, they challenge the final floor without regard for their lives. By some miracle, they manage to beat the floor at the cost of their lives, leaving only one survivor. As a reward for clearing the tower, he is granted one wish. He decides to go back in time to before the towers arrived. His goal is simple: prevent humanity from being wiped out.

Great work but feels incomplete.

The Story is great and follows a nontraditional hero for these types. He isn't the one who deals the most damage or inspires people with his presence. He is a tank taking blows for his allies so they can best hurt the enemies. It is almost flawless for the first two books but the third felt very rushed in many ways, the ending while finishing a bit of the main meat of the story leaves a lot of stuff undone. I also would barely call this litRPG while there are stats and those elements for the most part outside of damage number they are incredibly (and to one like me disappointingly) rare. This may not be a problem for most readers/listeners but I like the level ups, stat sheets, and rising of numbers that are usually found in these type of stories. Also the journey through the tower is often glazed over and not really going into depth. I would recommend this story to anyone as a story but I am afraid that I would not in good conscious recommend it for die hard litRPG or tower climber fans.

Now this is how a story is told

Honestly probably the best series I've read in awhile. It's up there with Hell Difficulty Tutorial for me

Hooked After a Few Hours

Really enjoyed this one. After a few hours I was totally hooked. The narration takes a bit to settle in—at first it makes the main character sound like he thinks he’s better than everyone else—but that feeling fades pretty quickly. As the story goes on, the voice ends up fitting really well. It’s the kind of thing you expect from the genre, but it’s done right. The main character feels grounded, with motivations and a perspective that actually make sense.

its sterile, there's no emotion or feeling.

When you read a book you want to feel with the person's feeling. You want to be part of the book you want to understand why they do what they're doing, and not just the main character you need to understand y v other people around them do what they do also.
This book is very dry very limited character development limited world development, limited, everything.

Bob walked down the street. Bob stopped at a fruit stand. bob bought a apple from the vendor. the vendors said, "hey, that will be two bits".Bob's handed him two bits.
Bob said goodbye and walked away.

Bob walked down the busy street of the bizarre. the voices of the merchants shouted over the crowds, trying to get attention for the wears. people jostled each other as they move from vendor the vendor Looking for the best deals. this particular district catered exclusively to adventurers.
You could find armor weapons & potions of all types in this district, you just had to look. a vendor to the right shouted at Bob about his delicious bread apples. he boasted his apples would increase Your stamina by three points with just one bit.
Bob had some extra coins, so he decided to stop and get one...
im not a writer but, you get the idea. this story jumps from subject to subject without any depth or character development.

Great Story!

What did I dislike? That the book is over! Now what do I do?! I'll be sharing it with my friends for sure.

Surprising Kermit the Frog Cameo

Overall decent, The world building was interesting and I did find it surprising to include a character from the Muppets. Kermit isn't mentioned by name and you probably wouldn't notice it in any other format apart from the audio book.

I don't think it's a spoiler, but keep your ears open.

Excellent LitRPG

Great details, good story, plenty of twists, it draws you in and does not leave you disappointed.

Outstanding Series

Great action, character development and world building. Excellent narration. The regression plotline (going back in time as a returner to better prepare for the final battle that opens the story) is one of my personal favorite themes. And the author Cameron Milan presents one of the best arcs of the subgenre.

No way there are this many 5 star ratings.

The story is exactly like every other LitRpg. I wouldn't trust these 5 star review. This story is as basic as you can get but that's not what bothers me. Basic can be entertaining.

The worst thing about these books is how juvenile the writing is. Every character has no dimension and the author has to make them say the most obvious or incorrect dialogue to try and convey their personality. There are constant nonsensical responses that make you shake your head or just flat out say "why would anyone ever need to say that." My favorite in book two is when the author says "Everyone was stunned except Jason, who expected the ferocity of the battle." Then, in the next paragraph. "Even Jason was shocked by the force of the strike." The main character can't be expectant of a ferocious battle and then not expectant of the fierceness The books are littered with contradictions in the dialogue and I wonder if the author ever read what he wrote.

The almost worst thing is the author tells you everything instead of letting the characters show you. For instance, one of the main characters Olivia, is supposed to be "cold hearted". She's only ever slightly standoffish and within 10 chapters she's basically loving friends with everybody. She constantly tells you she's cold, Jason tells you she's cold, some random guy tells you she's cold. She doesn't act cold once.

This book was extremely hard to get through and I consistently wanted to delete it and go with something else but I paid 1 credit for it and I was gonna get the use out of my 1 credit!

Pretty average lit RPG

Not amazing but not bad if you like lit RPG’s like this book.
I do have to say I’m sick and tired of lit RPG’s becoming cultivator books! What’s up with that? I beginning to wonder if these people are just using AI to write their books because it’s such a common theme now.
