The Ripple System, Book 1 (A Fantasy LitRPG Series)

By: Kyle Kirrin, Portal Books

Narrated by: Travis Baldree

Corporate flameout Ned Altimer dreams of leaving his world behind. So, when Earthblood Online splashes onto the VRMMO scene, he dives in and never looks back.

His advantages are twofold: exclusive access to the game’s three-day Head Start period, and a ridiculously handsome talking axe named Frank who has knowledge of the game’s deepest secrets...if the magnificent Frank ever feels like sharing them.

But those advantages also make Ned a target. Once the Head Start period ends, his fellow players will stop at nothing to rip that suave, violent, yet disarmingly charismatic axe right out of his hands.

In 72 hours, the greatest manhunt in gaming history is set to begin.

It’s gonna be a lot of fun.

You normally hate mc's that are rich...

Normally I hate vrmmorpg books because they break immverision with the back you forth between worlds. This however I loved because it didnt do that. Also it had that crunchy numbers that I like with out breaking the flow of the story. The main character is likable and doesn't feel emo with too many emotions. Character development is still their though which is good.

One of the good ones!

It's very exciting to find a litrpg that's both good quality and long enough to feel worth being one book. The story is interesting and the game play aspects are well integrated and satisfyingly balanced withing the experience. The characters have balance and depth, and I found myself caring about each of them as individuals... Even the sentient ax.
The story has good flow and gave me the feeling of having experienced a complete, full length book (rather than the small episodes which seem to have become the hallmark of this genre).
Travis Baldree is an exceptional narrator. Truely a shining star of the industry. Elevating the experience of an already well crafted litrpg into a fantastic, deep, and well rounded experience.
Well worth the purchase.
Thoroughly enjoys this.
Please please please keep them coming!

Awesome!!

Well written and entertaining! Definitely one of the better ones out there for sure! Get it.

Fun lively LitRPG novel

I can't wait to get on to book 2 and continue the adventures of Frank and Ned

Great example of LitRPG

I realized I really enjoy Travis Baldree's voice and performance. Great balanced story. Frank's awesome!
