Blood for Power: Book 1

An Apocalypse LitRPG

De: Scott W. James

Narrado por: Jonathan Waters

One man. One tower. One year to escape before everyone dies.

Lucas was shocked when he awoke to find the world had ended. An alien AI called the System had taken over Earth and transformed his apartment building into a 100-floor dungeon tower of traps, monsters, and loot. Trapped at the top, Lucas and the other residents have just one year to reach the ground floor and escape before the tower self-destructs.

That’s his first problem.

The second is he slept through the System’s welcome orientation, so a Class was picked for him. Lucas is now a Blood Reaver. A brutal Class based on speed, ferocity, and striking from the shadows. He’s expected not to just defeat his enemies, but to slaughter them and bathe in their blood. Their blood is now his power.

Outraged at being invaded, Lucas vows to grow stronger and take back his world. He will not only survive but thrive as he carves a bloody path to freedom.

a good litrpg book with a interesting world build

ever just have a dead sleep and miss super important messages? well, that's the main character! lol he has to make best with given "gifts" in a apocalypse style world. I can't say more on that or spoil the goods
the narration is well done and in a voice that can be made out well with good audio
the main character has his flaws that make it interesting to see what he will do with a mess of different elements agenst him and friends/allys the ending? well that makes me impatient to get the next book can't wait

Power of Blood

Wow this book is really fast paced. From start to finish, it just goes for an adventure.

crazy jumps in logic

The player progression in this book makes no sense. its a decent concept but poorly executed. its not horrible but multiple times I thought to myself this is so ridiculous.

good book, crap character

This book isn't horrible or irredeemable, but don't like the mc on a personal level.
1. Abandoned first person in party.
2.Panicky wuss
3. To stupid to inventory corpses, or ask party for blood.
4.Could use companion to pelican blood to him.
5. A bit slow on the uptake.
6. Cocky with no basis.
7. Traitorous tendencies and the absence of his "will" stat shows.

system interaction

I loved the interaction the main character had with the system itself and the skill progression system. definitely a very good listen.
