The Fortifier

A LitRPG Adventure

De: D.K. Landtroop

Narrado por: Andrew Tell

Surviving the first days of the apocalypse, William is a wreck and hiding in an attic. The daily acid storms, floating elementals, and bizarre mutated animals are the least of his problems. The reality-warping apocalypse has rules and a system much like those in video games. To survive, he must learn how the new uncooperative system works, choose a class without any real knowledge of what it does and create a place safe from the spawning horrors.

For William, staying alive isn’t enough. He will need to bring other survivors together and build a fortification large enough for all of them if he ever wants to strike back at the things that took everyone he loved. That is if he can ever gain control over himself and finally get any answers to what has happened.

pretty good

all in all pretty good lit rpg fight scenes are engaging but not so long that you start to zone out and exposition is kept to a minimum you actually show rather then tell. but probably should cut back on grown men from the south crying so much. I get emotional time for characters but they were crossing into cringe territory and men from the south aren't that well adjusted. anyway can't wait for next installment.

Good, not Great

There are a lot of things this book does well. The world-building is fantastic, and the fights are great. The characters feel real and are unique and add value to the story.

There are a few things the book does poorly. The most notable is the severe lack of detail. The MC's main ability is to create/restore buildings. I don't remember a single time that a building was described in detail, no architecture, no decor, no shape, or orientation. They are simply given... a single adjective like small or big.
The second large flaw was that the MC's personality wasn't compelling, he is described as having anger issues, and being emotionally traumatized by the whole apocalypse thing. But yeah... he has an emotional breakdown every other chapter. He isn't bad enough to ruin the book, but his personal emotional experience is brought up way too much.

Overall, I would recommend this book to those who don't mind not having a compelling, MC or imagery.

Best LitRPG this year! Great story & narration!

D.K. Landtroop writes an amazing LitRPG. My favorite this year so far! William, the MC, is highly relatable and enjoyable to watch as he figures out the system, develops himself, those around him, and the community. The base building elements are fun to read and listen to as well as the world building. I'd HIGHLY recommend this one! Audio Version: Andrew Tell does an amazing job narrating and each character. If I had a story to narrate I'd throw him my money in a heart beat!

Impressive!

This is my first time actually reading something from the LitRPG genre. The Fortifier is well written, the voice actor reads very well, the story has a great pace and flow mixed with emotional ups and downs! I look forward to hearing the second book.

Worth the read!

This is a very well thought out story about growing a community from the ashes and building up humanity in a world where everyone is trying to do the right thing even when it leads to terrible wrongs.
