Battle Spire: A Crafting LitRPG Book

Hundred Kingdoms, 1

De: Michael R. Miller, Portal Books

Narrado por: Justin Thomas James, Jeff Hays, Annie Ellicott

Jack Kross only wanted to play the game. Now he’s fighting for his life.

When a mysterious hacker takes control of Hundred Kingdoms, Jack is trapped inside the fantasy VR world along with millions of other players. But Jack is in a worse predicament. He’s cornered in the very tower the terrorists have taken as their base; the only free player left within its walls. Even worse, in the real world, his body lies in a sweltering room with no hope of relief.

Playing the profession-based Scavenger class, and at a low level, Jack’s prospects of fighting his way out are next to impossible. Crafting gear, traps, and weapons, allying with a deadly dungeon master and an AI he can’t fully trust, Jack is in a race against time to save not just himself but the millions of players held hostage.

Battle Spire is a meeting of World of Warcraft and Die Hard, using crunchy LitRPG mechanics with a heavy focus on crafting. Listeners can expect to find in depth item and spell descriptions, along with stat tables and profession recipes.

Note: strong language is used throughout.

Narration++

Excellent narration always makes the story better. this was an interesting Twist on the litrpg genre. one of the best parts about this story was that there were no harems. A+ on all aspects.

Classic GameLit!!!

Great story and Narration!

Jack is a collage student. Jack sneaks into a seedy part of town to get his game fix without his family finding out. Unfortunatly his plans get highjacked when terrorists take over the game and disable the logout feature. What else can go wrong, and what can Jack do about it?

The Soundbooth crew do a great job with the narration!

The the MC starts off whiny, he show great personal development and growth throughout the book.

I loved this book, and cant wait for more from this author!

do you like video games? and fantasy?

this story put me in the middle of a MMO RPG and had me guesting tell the end. it did a good just at putting me in the middle of the crazy fast paced story and made me feel what the character felt. if you like fantasy and video games and MMO RPG's you will love this story hands down.

Just as good the fifth time around.

This is the fifth time I’ve listened to this story, and it definitely won’t be the last. I honestly wish Michael R. Miller made a sequel.

Great one shot

It’s far better than one might suspect, great one shot story that fully resolved in a satisfying way.

Excellent book

If you get board listing to litrpg descriptions this book is not for you but if you enjoy them and a great story this left me craving more, as I’m a delivery driver I listen to a lot of books . I also love this author and the performers who do this kind of narration I really enjoyed it along with my 17 year old son

Fun Crafter-Inspired LitRPG

Unique book with a fun concept and abilities for MC. Expertly narrated by Soundbooth Theater too.

Feeling Crafty

This is a fun read with excellent writing and great narration. Mr. Miller takes a self-centered individual and moves him towards "other-focused," outlook on life. The great thing is he did it in a fun and exciting way. I was disappointed book 2 was not already available when I finished Battle Spire.

surprisingly good

about halfway through I stopped and started it over to pick up detail I had not paid attention to thinking it was just more of the same will definitely get next book hope he's not a One-Shot

Shield Hero meets Sword Art Online

Best to describe the NPC's as very good LARPers that never break character which is pretty unique.
Nobody sees the good part of X class, and all mock X class like they are just underpowered. X class turns out to have some really cool aspects that turn an other wise boring boring idea of a class into something amazing.
