Warbreaker's Rise: A LitRPG Adventure

The Connected System, Book 1

De: Troy Osgood

Narrado por: J. S. Arquin

The Connected System has come to Earth, bringing with it the apocalypse...

In an instant, life as it was known is gone, replaced by a System called The Connection. It doesn't come quietly as earthquakes rock the planet, the chosen survivors falling unconscious as the Connection takes their bodies and Adapts them.

Lochlan Brady and his family were on their way home from a camping weekend when the Connection appears. He awakens with a new Adapted body, finding his wife missing. Now Loch must survive and thrive in this new world with his two teenage daughters, Harper and Piper. All Loch wants to do is protect his daughters and find his wife.

A chance encounter with creatures straight out of myth will force the family to quickly confront the reality of their new lives, the changed world and give Loch a jump in power. But with that power will come responsibility and more danger.

Along with the attention of some of the most powerful beings in The Connected System.

Good, but

The dad is, well a clueless dad. That isn’t a bad thing, except, he’s supposed to be a gamer and an ex military grunt. Given that I would have expected him to be a little more with it and a little less dumb.

For the way he comes off it’s like he was never in the military at any level and not really a gamer at all. This is fine and overall doesn’t matter much, it’s just the description and action done add up.


Overall though it’s a good story and a fun plot. I’m looking forward to the next book.

Too much introspection

The author has a cycle of worry he puts his MC through - Is my wife alive. Getting home to hopefully find my wife. Guilty over having his daughters fighting monsters. Guilty over leveling his daughters. This first book basically covers Earth’s induction into the system. The MC’s family gets separated right at the start of the book - Then MC and his daughters stumbling into a dungeon. That’s the whole of the book. The book does switches to the wife a couple of times, but the majority of the book is the family’s journey through the dungeon. The story has overly detailed fights which turns into a running fight(s) that span chapters. I understand fight scenes can be exciting, but not all the time. Less fight time more story time. Overall it makes for a shallow storyline.
I purchased the next book in the series hoping the author would be finished with his introspection on the MC’s behalf. Nope. I really don’t like stories that constantly repeats things - be it phrases or mental conversation with yourself. I see this type of writing as a way to increase your word count only. I managed to get almost half through the second book before I called it quits. I don’t care for this kind of writing style. If you don’t mind the repetition and a slower story than this series might be for you.

Loved it

Good twist on your usual book of this style I really like the family aspect kinda like a breath of fresh air

Struggles due to not assigning stat points

Very irritating when MC reviews his status and and it states each time there is unassigned stat points and he just moves on. I am only continuing to see at what chapter / level this the author finally assigns the stats and what stupid reason thing he says afterwards.

Level 9 and he assigned his stat points so he would get more benefit from the 5% bonus an achievement gave him.

good

this book is good just having a hard time getting through the children and the whole family thing is not going well for me.
