The Stubborn Skill-Grinder in a Time Loop

A LitRPG Adventure

De: X-RHODEN-X

Narrado por: Daniel Wisniewski

An action-packed LitRPG Adventure perfect for fans of Mother of Learning, Primal Hunter, and The Perfect Run!

Fight. Grind. Grow strong enough to stop the Cataclysm.

Orodan was an orphaned street rat who clawed his way to the county militia with hard work. When calamitous events unfold and draw him into events bigger than himself, Orodan's battle-loving disposition leads to a warrior's death.

Then he wakes up again at the start of the Cataclysm. Then again. And again.

In a world of skills, titles, and blessings, a smart time-looper would perhaps scheme, plan, amass equipment, and allies. But not Orodan. If there's one thing he's good at, it's stubbornly trying the same thing over and over again via brute force till it's done.

If a wall is in front of him, going around is not an option. Instead, he'll batter it thousands of times until either the wall breaks or he does. And gain skill levels along the way.

Until, maybe one run, he'll grow powerful enough to stop the Cataclysm.

Experience this fast-paced LitRPG Adventure about Orodan and his progression toward becoming extremely overpowered using a time loop. The series features a detailed system, loads of skills, varied progression paths, deep worldbuilding, cultivation aspects, and a heroic character you can't help but root for!

Might alienate some people who aren't big on acts of incredible violence. Not me though. This rocks.

First five or so chapters are a bit repetitive, not bad, but he's building to something. After that, it starts to open up. The repetitions are necessary for the pay off and character development, so I don't count it as a mark against the quality of this story. Just get through the first chunk and if you STILL don't like it, then it might not be for you.

Scratch the OP Mc itch

This book has some of the elements that I love the most. It really has the same level of OP Mc as Good Guys and Azarinth Healer.

The MC is broken!

The protagonist is so broken that the only risk he faces is his own stupidity. And in the later stages of the book not even his stupidity can get him killed... The plots, sub-plots and story telling is excellent, but worlds built on the system are meant to be balanced and fair, this is not that. Also this shows how power corrupts as the MC starts looking down on people for not being,"strong".

Better the second time

I listened when it first released and thought the story was nothing special, just okay. After a year of dredging through the litrpg genre, I decided to revisit it and realized I’d been way too harsh. There’s something mind-bogglingly nuts about someone not going insane from dying that many times, but I’ve come to see it as even more improbable if he’d gotten that strong with anything less. The author extending the loop count to something that actually makes sense, even for an already life-hardened MC, felt refreshing compared to the last several books I’ve read where a week is somehow enough to go from carpal-tunnel-crippled keyboard warrior to sword-swinging duelist master. Like most books, the MC has a shtick, and in this one it’s basically orange-cat levels of mental illness.

I'm glad that the author stuck it out, even though the series isn't getting the attention it deserves.

This story is one of three books that have ever made me weep

The book is so wonderful. The story kept me interested for the full length. I want another book. If there was another one I would immediately bought it, but sadly there is not buy it. This book is great.
