Mage Tank

A LitRPG Adventure

A hilarious new Isekai LitRPG adventure perfect for fans of Dungeon Crawler Carl and Full Murderhobo.

Conquer ancient dungeons. Get rewarded. Grow stronger.

After being killed by a high-velocity tree-hug, Arlo is transported to a new world where those brave and talented enough to conquer ancient Delves are rewarded with incredible power and abilities.

Unfortunately for Arlo, there is no tutorial. He is immediately forced to tackle a Delve set to the highest difficulty with a party of adventurers who are not only strangers to him, but strangers to each other as well.

Arlo has no armor, no weapons, no knowledge of the world at large, and his party is growing increasingly suspicious of his lack of preparation and paper-thin excuses for how he got there.

There's also the fact that the System in charge seems to be treating Arlo's situation like a big, cosmic joke.

Determined not to die again, Arlo forgoes putting any points into his highest stat, Intelligence, and instead dumps everything he's got into Fortitude. After all, who needs equipment or fighting skills when you can eat fireballs for breakfast and still ask for more hot sauce?

Mage Tank begins a new Isekai LitRPG adventure that features steady progression, intelligent characters who spend time making intentional build choices, and tons of laughs. It’s not action all-the-time, but Arlo’s life is replete with danger and, more importantly, consequences.

Overhyped very much standard for the genre.

Overhyped by the other reviews story archetype is very standard for the genre. Narration was excellent.

A strong contender for best LITRPG execution.

In terms of Isekai LITRPG stories, this novel has a lot going for it. A non standard protagonist, an endearing and decently fleshed out world setting, a unique setup and execution for the primary story thrust. The side characters are well portrayed and given enough time to breathe individually, and the mguffins that the protagonist finds are painted out in the story as thematic to the overall plot and explained with good consequence.

After consuming dozens of other LITRPG stories, the tone. wit, and humour of the writer really bleeds from the page and the narrator does a fantastic job of brining the words to life in the audio medium.

Pure Momentum!!!

Most constant momentum I’ve seen in a book in a while there are slow moments but it never felt like filler more the authors writing style. All the rest is change and a constant flow into new things and places!

Best LITRPG in a long time!

Very enjoyable! I was hooked from early chapters. The world building
and system are well done
