Guild Master

A LitRPG Adventure (Tower of Power, Book 1)

By: Ivan Kal

Narrated by: Ryan Burke

Morgan used to be a pretty normal guy. He went to college by day and played online games by night, leading his guild into new conquests - until he got hit by a car and a dude wearing a wet suit appeared in front of him. The man offered him a new chance at life in a world he had created, a world with similar rules to the games Morgan loved to play. There is the promise of great rewards and power, he says, if Morgan manages to complete the Tower of Power. Stupid name, I know.

Morgan didn't usually trust strangers who seem to have god complexes, but he was in a pinch. There's a crazy-looking dude saying he is technically not a god on one end of the tunnel and a blinding light on the other end - and he was really not digging the light.

So he accepted the offer from the surfer god-not-god.

Getting dropped into a strange new world with no idea what the rules are was not something Morgan was a fan of; and in this strange world, it seems like everything is out to eat his face. It was a good thing, then, that he stumbled onto two half-elf twins willing to help him get the hang of this strange new world.

Now, all he needs to do is survive long enough to reach this tower.

Guild Master

Truly a good story.
I found the “game mechanics” a bit lacking, but not that it took away from the story, but actually reinforced the “game” world.

I liked how most of the stuff played out, but I did find the MC to be a bit of a dullard here and there.
(How do you not use one side of your abilities except to do one measly thing.)
(I had a thousand ideas running through my head, and was just waiting for him to do one of them and realize he’s capable of being OP, but NO....)

Overall though, even with my want to critique the MC, the book was a true 5 star start to a series, and I hope it continues as good or better.

The Scottie pippen of litrpg.

The land is obviously the Michael Jordan with its big name recognotion and the long series of hits but this story is right up there.

it knows its fundamentals, it creates a good, simple foundatuon for the chess pieces to go on, it establishes good, flawed characters and give a a good faraway goal to work to in the background while the smaller goals are beaten with intellect and strategy with a pinch of town building

the tower of power

is a great title for this book! can't wait for the next book

Truck kun has struck again.

A little bit of spoilers. Although it starts off generic with the classic get to the top floor of the tower and win trope. The story is actually pretty entertaining. The MC isn't a complete idiot so that's a plus. Just a small whiff of it to be interesting and he has his moments. I mean he even gets himself a half elf wife and who knows his wife might allow the orc female he things is cute join in. Classic.

Great book

Loved the first book lots of reminders of days gone by that I played D & D
