Dungeons of Strata

Deepest Dungeon, Book 1 (LitRPG)

By: G. D. Penman

Narrated by: Adam Sims

When Martin's raiding guild join the latest virtual reality MMO, they discover a challenge like no other. Strata Online is a 100-floor mega-dungeon, filled with an ever-shifting ecosystem of monsters.

Martin's team soon find themselves in a race against the world’s strongest guilds, all competing to be the first to reach the unbeatable game's lowest depths. With eternal fame and prizes on the line, Martin risks playing as a rarely chosen race: a Murovan rat-man, combined with the unusual exorcist class.

But unlike other games, he will need as much courage as skill to progress. Because the deeper he goes, the darker Strata gets.

fantastic

redwall meets litrpg great idea. the author is very good about progressing his story and creating suspence and intrigue.

Great

Holds readers attention. Narrator did great job.
Loved characters, not so much guild leader, bleh.

This one really grabbed me

Not your typical full-immersion game, Strata has some darker aspects that raise a lot of questions and pulled me in.

I liked the MC, but Lindsey, the guild leader was grating. I may be wrong, but I sense some darker reveals about her in the future. MC does a great job at fighting against the unfairness that abounds in game and out.

Already bought book 2.

great book.

good story, good writing, good character, and just enough humor. good job. keep up the good work.

Reverse tower dungeon

Story works for me. The genre of tower dungeon is cliche but the characters are almost well done. The main character is filled in but the others seem to have a ghost like purpose. The continuous mentions of guild requests never being addressed is a bother as this useless part of the story seems to be mentioned as fluff. Should have not made it a thing. Combat description is marvelous. Interaction with guild mates works. Love the cryptic riddle of strata being the end of everything. Great mystery!
