The Janitor Killed the World Boss: A LitRPG Novel

Father of Constructs, Book 1

By: Aaron Renfroe

Narrated by: Michael Hopfer, Christin Woods

Lorith's magic is fading. Centuries ago, heroic adventurers stopped the World Boss’ cycle of rebirth by reducing the creature to one hit point and sealing it away so no one would ever find it. But, by ending one calamity, they halted the natural flow of magic within the world and brought about the Havoc Plague.

With all civilization now on the brink of collapse, humanity's only hope is to find and kill the World Boss in order to restart the monster's rebirth cycle and bring back magic. When the Plagued janitor Harvey stumbles into a mysterious wreckage and accidentally kills the missing World Boss, he gains a million experience points, making him the target of almost all the would-be adventurers of the world. Burdened with ancient knowledge, and hunted by countless rivals, he must join with unlikely allies to do the unthinkable: find the reincarnated World Boss and defeat it again, before it can ravage the world anew.

Father of Constructs is an optimistic LitRPG novel with a dash of Slice of Life.

Loved the book, amazing audio!

*sigh*. This book just filled every sad part in my soul (after causing a couple by the way). I read the ebook when it released last year, but was very excited to see it was coming out on audio too! Harvey is a good man. Good men do good work, as he says, and he works so hard to do good. My son has a hard time reading, but loves to listen to audio. I’ve told him about this one and his sister over heard, and they are both excited to listen to this as we run errands around town!

Please note, I’ve not heard anything read by either of these voice talents before, but many of the voices were spot on for what I was expecting!!

Update, I redownloaded this to listen with the kids and noticed the audio issues are fixed, FYI (4/29/2024)

Odd leveling style.

I find the way of leveling to be very risky. I mean the likely hood of so few people going after him immediately seems like it would be slim to none. There should be multiple guilds at each stop waiting to get that exp. I mean it’s like fighting a world boss with none of the strengths. Ahh well. What’s next? :)

this was really fun

I really enjoyed this book the main MC is great and the other characters are also fun. The book is very well written and I love the way the stats chapters were done not to much not to little over all very good book can't wait until the next one.

Meh

Not sure how to feel about this book… it’s kind of slow and it’s painful how slow the MC is to lose his naivety… I wasn’t really sure if I wanted to get the second book but I guess I’ll give it a try

Another good series

Really enjoying Aaron’s writing. Started with his first series “Resonance”. Had to pick up this one once I saw it. Book one draws in the reader to this new world.

love this

this is so stinking good. I want to protect Harvey so bad. I believe this will be a series I see all the way through. I adore it so much

I would die for Harvey!!

I read this story a while back on Kindle Unlimited and It was well worth

Great non AI content

Decent lit rpg. Great world building and Decent introduction to this series. looking forward to reading book 2

great story and world.

Love the world that's being built so far. Characters are great and likable. my only complaint is the female is a lower volume than the male one. This makes it hard to hear her when the same volume is fine for him
Edit: I have changed my review to be all 5 stars. The author had the book fixed and the female voices are no longer much quieter!

really good

honestly I enjoy this books the first minute grabbed me and this is well worth a listen
