Obelisk: System Integration: A LitRPG Adventure

Obelisk: System Integration, Book 1

De: Conor Malachi

Narrado por: Pavi Proczko

Ominous obelisks land on Earth with a single message: Join the games to give humanity a fighting chance to survive... Or roll over and die.

Too bad for them, Warren isn't the rolling-over type.

Cancer may be kicking Warren's a$$, but he's not about to let aliens destroy his home and everything he loves (which is mostly just his dog, Buck). Besides, what does he have to lose?

Better to die with sword in hand, bleeding out from a head wound than in some hospital bed...

Once the games begin, Warren can't help but think, "Maybe hospital beds aren't so bad after all."

Nah, F that! If you're going to go out, might as well go out having an impaled taraza (whatever the hell that is) at the end of your blade.

Obelisk: System Integration is an action-packed, epic, LitRPG apocalypse series. Our heroes face off an alien invasion, academy politics, PvP, and tower ascension—all to save Earth from being destroyed. Perfect for fans of Defiance of the Fall, Life in Exile, and Apocalypse: Generic System.

Obelisk - System Integration Book 1

No Spoilers - ish.

Right off the top, our protagonist Warren, is going to bother you or you’re going to love him. I fall in the middle, both liking and disliking Warren. Because of all that he is dealing with, you can understand his character. But then there’s spots in the story that you just wish Warren would curtail his attitude. That aside, the story is intriguing and entertaining. The other characters are not one-sided, they have layers to them. The action is good and the story being unraveled is fascinating. Overall an enjoyable story. DRmz 4-18-26

better than expected

went out on a limb with this one and it was definitely a good choice. I highly recommend

MC is painfully moronic.

I made it to chapter 13, did a Google search asking if the MC ever became less of a deliberate moron. Saw the answer was no, and decided to save myself the pain of trying to read that. It really sucks because everything else was going so well, but I can't force myself to read so much stupidity.

Simple Fun

Review is for books 1-5 plus some of 6. Overall it's just okay there are some fun moments and some good characters, but the story is lacking and Warren being made to pseudo idiot does the story a massive disservice. I say pseudo idiot because he's actually smart but just makes idiotic decisions other than he doesn't want to think.

If you haven't read too many LittRPGS this can be a nice intro to them, but if you're a few deep I think this is a skip. I'd rather not give recommendations for other stuff, but honestly Dungeon Crawler Carl does this type of story far better, I'm not sure what came first so can't say of either inspired another or not.

A copycat with a teenager audience

Listened to this as it was free and the main character was very much an adolescent in presentation. I then started "Dungeon Crawler Carl" and see that the Obelisk author is blatantly copying the DCC books premise. Glad that I didn't pay for this one.
