Narrated by: Ryan Burke

Length: 7 hrs and 32 mins

Publisher's Summary

Beyond the third floor!

When Morgan got hit by a car and died on Earth, he never imagined that he would be chosen by a god, little g, to be taken to another planet - a World governed by game-like rules. Especially since said god liked to have people call him the Great Lord, and had basically created an entire World to run experiments in. Nor could Morgan have ever imagined that he would find one thing that he had never really had on Earth: a real family.

It's been years since Morgan started his second chance at life on that world, and both he and his friends have achieved great power as part of a Great Raid: a group of people bent on climbing beyond the third floor of the Tower of Power, to the floors from which no one has ever before returned.

They had lost friends in their climb, but who remain share the same drive to be the first to pass the Great Lord's test. But there are dangers in the Tower beyond what they could even imagine...and not all of them even belong there.

Their raid group will need both luck and cunning if they are to survive all that the Tower can throw at them. But, in the end, only one thing is certain - no matter what, all of them will need to pay the Tower's price.

author forgets the main characters backstory

The author forgets elements of the main character's backstory with his stepfather. basically he's acting like the LIE the main character told about his backstory in book 1 is the actual backstory. You know instead of when he revealed the truth of it in book 2. It's not even like he's lying to someone about it it's a thought in his own head! Then forgets that he gave him a five forms for his arm at the end of the last book and just acts like he just now got them several chapters into this one. The amount of times he has forgotten things he's established in the last book is crazy. This is just the book where it became too much for me.

The Price

The name of this book says it all! Morgan goes through adversity and overcomes. Gets separated from group and used Cline to consume and transform his body even more. Story focuses more on him now rather than supporting characters, which is fine. Val and Ves finally get to reunite, in a way, with their parents, all be it short lived. Val dies. Morgan reaches the 7th tier that noone ever has, what his father wants.

Decent book, worth the read

Continuation of the series, which has been a pretty good LITRPG book in the tower climbing genre. Bit sad with a fair amount of death in this book, but a decent ending and good lead in to the next book without hitting you with a cliff hanger.

Moderate swearing for those sensitive to that.

drawn in by the narrator

the reader is amazing his voice keeps you locked in and the story is powerful

loveit

I need more plz I love how the story sucks me in can't wait to see them return

This is it

This is how a book should be. Picked up right where they left off and didn’t slow down or add filler. It pops you in the jaw then when you think it’s getting a happy atmosphere it kicks your arm from under you making you collapse back down

DAM WHAT A RIDEV!!!!

Listened to all 5 books in a row. I was hooked from beginning to end

Series has gotten progressively better

I rated the first book only three out of five stars, but decided to continue the series. I am glad I did, because it improved with each book. This is the best of them by far.

Absolutely Breathtaking!

To say this book is brilliant, would underplay the gravitational pull the storyline has on it's audience.
I stumbled across this book seeking mere entertainment, and in turn fell in love with a world that could only be best described by Ivan Kal.

Simply amazing.

the humor and relationships between characters and their development have me addicted to this series

brilliant!!!

this series just gets better and better cannot wait for the next book. hopefully it won't be too long 🤞🏻

awesome

cant wait for the next book, really easy to listen to and very fast paced

Fantastic series

The culmination of these books, leads the reader to guess outcomes, though not all are clear cut.

Character generation is great and with my sense of humour made the books all the better to listen to and read.

congratulations to Ivan and Ryan on a great series and also props to the narrator for providing the perfect cadence and atmosphere which allowed the audio book to shine.

Disappointed, borrowed ideas?

I am of the impression that the story has perhaps lost its momentum and seems to be a bit stretched in places as if the author is not quite sure of the direction or final destination of the story?
The whole idea of an agent of the enemy being able to "split or break off a piece of its soul and embed into an unsuspecting good character" smacks of borrowing from Harry Potter and the horcrux scenario. I was very disappointed at this point and this is where the author lost my interest. This idea has been done already so we already get a feel of how its going to play out in general terms.
Can it be fixed?
Perhaps, but to do so I think the author needs to cut off this "horcrux " path quickly in the next book and come up with something original.
This is just my honest impression & opinion and others may well disagree , that's OK.

love it!

this is a great book and I hope more books will come in this serie.
