Rise to Glory

By: Alex Knight

Narrated by: Christopher Ragland

Welcome to The Glory - the world’s biggest VR tournament.

In front of millions of viewers, teams compete in a battle royale where they clear dungeons, complete quests and slay other players in a race to score the most points.

The winners are instant celebrities, and it's time Bash the Berserker joined their ranks. One win away from going pro, his dreams of fame, fortune and that iced coffee sponsorship are finally coming true...until he’s kicked off his team mere hours before registrations close.

With everything on the line, Bash manages to cobble together a new rag-tag team. A washed-up semi-pro who hates his guts, a talented analyst who’s never actually competed and a streamer whose ego is only surpassed by her love of throwing swords.

Oh, and if they want to earn their glory, Bash will have to trade in his war hammer and play as a three-foot-tall, tree-hugging elf....

great take on litrpg

not your typical hum drum litrpg.. the author always has a unique take on the genre.. get this book, you won't regret it

This is a heck of a ride for it only being one book!!

The best thing I can say is that I lost my voice screaming at the Villain of this book. Every second of this book I was rooting for the MC and his band of friends. Truly shows that the people you think you can trust turn out to be villains in the end and that when the tough times really get going your true friends will always be at your side.

Great Read

I wholeheartedly enjoyed this book! A diverse cast of characters and a protagonist you learn to love :)

Amazing GameLit Novel

I've gone through countless GameLit series and Standalones- And this is easily in my Top Three. The Author subverted expectations with how they skipped the tropes we all know in the genre. This isn't another "guy sucked into a portal and has to play the game or die for real"- This has more relatable stakes, more relatable emotions, and a unique game system that is different from the standard ROG and Cultivation systems most GameLit goes for.

I highly recommend giving this a read!

finished strong

Ok so I only have one problem with this book and it has to do with the attitude of the main character. However over the course of the book it got a lot better but did pause numerous times to yell at the MC lol the good thing is that over time the MC finally listened to me and the story ended in a way that I want to read a book two.
