The Stubborn Skill-Grinder in a Time Loop

A LitRPG Adventure

By: X-RHODEN-X

Narrated by: Daniel Wisniewski

An action-packed LitRPG Adventure perfect for fans of Mother of Learning, Primal Hunter, and The Perfect Run!

Fight. Grind. Grow strong enough to stop the Cataclysm.

Orodan was an orphaned street rat who clawed his way to the county militia with hard work. When calamitous events unfold and draw him into events bigger than himself, Orodan's battle-loving disposition leads to a warrior's death.

Then he wakes up again at the start of the Cataclysm. Then again. And again.

In a world of skills, titles, and blessings, a smart time-looper would perhaps scheme, plan, amass equipment, and allies. But not Orodan. If there's one thing he's good at, it's stubbornly trying the same thing over and over again via brute force till it's done.

If a wall is in front of him, going around is not an option. Instead, he'll batter it thousands of times until either the wall breaks or he does. And gain skill levels along the way.

Until, maybe one run, he'll grow powerful enough to stop the Cataclysm.

Experience this fast-paced LitRPG Adventure about Orodan and his progression toward becoming extremely overpowered using a time loop. The series features a detailed system, loads of skills, varied progression paths, deep worldbuilding, cultivation aspects, and a heroic character you can't help but root for!

a decent time loop tale

book does a good job on changing things up most of the time to keep you following along. mcs stubbornness gets annoying at some points but eventually becomes endearing lol

Easiest 5 stars I have given in a while!!!

Very promising story can’t wait for the next one!
I am very impressed by the narrator as well. His voicing of old people sounds like the voice of Gandalf in LOTR films. I hope the author make his nickname available to be followed as it currently isn’t.

Great concept!

I loved the concept! Initially, I was worried that there was not enough character development. But I got a lot more of that later in the book. I feel like he advanced a little too quickly to the point where I thought things could have wrapped up in this book. There are some loose ends to wrap up in the next book but if he continues at this pace he will be a god. The narration was great.

Might alienate some people who aren't big on acts of incredible violence. Not me though. This rocks.

First five or so chapters are a bit repetitive, not bad, but he's building to something. After that, it starts to open up. The repetitions are necessary for the pay off and character development, so I don't count it as a mark against the quality of this story. Just get through the first chunk and if you STILL don't like it, then it might not be for you.

Scratch the OP Mc itch

This book has some of the elements that I love the most. It really has the same level of OP Mc as Good Guys and Azarinth Healer.

Best new series 2025

Engaging, fast pace, refreshing and thorough. Just a fun all around listen. Daniel did a great job bringing life to all characters.

Loaded Chapters

Each chapter has been jam packed with really good writing. At times when I thought the story was going left like most litrpg’s tend to, it was snapped back and I was drawn back in. Daniel as usual does his thing again. Get it, it’s worth.

Great book

Op mc but still has a pretty good plot. Power progression is absolutely crazy though not sure if I like how fast the main characters progression.

Fun!

Pretty fresh all things considered, good for a litrpg. Looking forward to the next book!

Progression Concentrate

There's something to reducing everything down to a central idea and then expanding upon it. I am looking forward to the next book.
