Towerbound is the Progression Fantasy LitRPG readers can’t stop binging.

They left him for dead.

Now he’s back—and he’s bringing the Tower down.

Ren Varrow was never the hero type. A quiet alchemist with a talent for potions, he kept his head low while others chased glory. But when a top guild lured him into a lethal dungeon and stabbed him in the back, his story should’ve ended.

Instead, it rewound.

Thrown back to Day One—before the Tower rose, before the betrayals—Ren knows what’s coming: secret quests, hidden mechanics, and a ticking clock that ends with Earth’s destruction.

Armed with future knowledge and forgotten skills, he’s ready to rewrite everything.

From building a guild out of nobodies…

To crafting mythic-grade potions…

To surviving a hundred deadly floors and the guilds hunting him…

Ren is done playing nice.

The Tower’s coming—and this time, he climbs first.

Expect:

• Time-travel knowledge

• Cowardly but overpowered MC

• Alchemy, dungeoncraft, and guild wars

• Swearing and strategy

• Dystopian Earth meets leveling system

Don’t expect:

• Harem

• Romance arcs

Reader Reactions:

“All the good vibes from my days playing World of Warcraft. Fun. Funny. Satisfying.”

“Finally a redo story that keeps it simple, believable. Repeatable.”

“This story delivers what it promises.”

Rats, what’s a story!

No one likes spending their hard earned cheddar on bad tales. Let’s just say that this book has it all chapter development, good story, and a solid return on your cheddar. Make sure to give it a shot after all street rats are king. Also cannot wait for the next book highly recommend giving the books a read if you can’t wait for the next audible!!

MC snd Narrator issues

-Narrator speaks incredibly slowly. At 1.5 speed, it sounds like a slightly fast read.

- MC is a coward and it’s overemphasized.

- Specialization and crafting(this even more so since MC pretty much focuses on it) are clearly intricate and important but not very fleshed out by the story or MC.

- I can appreciate that it’s an unusual take on the regressor litrpg, but the MC is locked into not growing in what is an important way because he has to be a coward. His foreknowledge should emphasize how much of an opportunity it is to not go through the pain and death in real life but he ignores it.

- The pre-regression story doesn’t actually show him living the life the story is centered on AT ALL. It also doesn’t explain a lot of things, like the connection between characters and real life. The importance of which, cannot be overstated.
