Savage Awakening

A LitRPG Apocalypse Adventure

By: Adastra339

Narrated by: Christian J. Gilliland

Zane was driving home from work when the world changed.

Thousands of dungeons spawned at once, taking up every inch of Earth—including the road he’s driving on. He wakes up to a totaled car and a broken leg, facing down a goblin trying to spear him through the guts. And that's just the start of it.

But to Zane’s surprise, he finds himself enjoying this brutal new world. While others cower and hide, he goes on the hunt. He unlocks a unique Berserker skill—the more damage he takes, the stronger he gets.

Soon he’s beating down monster hordes, solo clearing dungeons, unlocking powerful Skills, and striking out to conquer more and more.

It turns out Zane was born to fight. And in this new world rife with terrible monsters and awesome powers alike, where opportunity is anyone’s for the taking, he’ll thrive.

An action-packed blend of LitRPG Apocalypse and Xianxia with 2 million views on Royalroad. Perfect for fans of Defiance of the Fall, The Primal Hunter, and Road to Mastery!

an enjoyable new apocalyptic litrpg book, if you enjoy monsters, growing stronger and challenges you'll like this book. the main character is a bit of a Berserker

a great litrpg

One of the best litrpg books out there, i was entertained the whole time. It's such a fun book.
Berserker like characters are such a joy to read.

Very fast paced!

Wow, okay so the book was definitely chunky. But it was fast paced. I could easily see this as a video game with you playing the MC going from one scene to the next. Including how the MC doesn’t seem to have as much depth as other characters since you are playing MC.
You will probably notice some similarities with Defiance of the Fall, but they not overbearing. This book has a lot less detail and depth compared to DotF. Which is makes Savage its own thing. Especially since the progression is A LOT quicker! Like seven times faster… and no where near as complicated. Which makes it easier to deal with in some ways.

The storytelling is alright and the plot weaving isn’t hard to follow. The world building simple. I enjoyed the characters for the most part. I enjoyed the love interest and a whimsical secondary character probably the most. The two ladies are fun.
The MC is pretty boring and kind of an idiot… but I’m not sure if that was on purpose… maybe he is just challenged and suffering from a mental illness or something.
I will look forward to a second book.

The narrator is one I have heard before and he is pretty good. Not the best but still enjoyable compared to several others I have heard. However, he doesn’t do female voices very well at all. Which is kind of how it is for some men. Our voices just can’t handle it very well.

it's a good book, I hope it's not a 1 off, give more please.
keep up the good work!

Genius

I freaking love how he’s basically so talented and “smart” that he’s a little stupid on everything else! Really great world building and fights, can’t wait to see how everything fleshes out in the end
