Vainglory 2

A LitRPG Adventure

By: Plum Parrot

Narrated by: Robb Moreira

An action-packed LitRPG Fantasy full of mystery, danger, and rising power.

Ward Dyer survived Nevkin the Warlock—but the price of victory is still unfolding. With Haley at his side, he journeys to Westview, a treacherous port city where whispers of cults and forgotten gods echo through the alleys. Their goal is simple: secure passage aboard a living ship to the water-world of Springsea.

But death finds them first. A ritual murder draws Ward into an investigation that fuses his hard-won detective instincts with his awakening magic. The deeper he digs, the clearer it becomes: the cult’s reach extends far beyond Westview…and back to Nevkin himself.

An ancient tower—one of the feared Vainglory Challenges—looms over the city, promising secrets, power, and peril. Drawn inside with new allies, Ward and Haley must navigate deadly traps, unravel hidden truths, and confront forces eager to claim their souls. All while a primal, animalistic bloodline stirs within Ward, threatening to reshape him in ways he barely understands.

From Plum Parrot, bestselling author of Victor of Tucson and Cyber Dreams, comes the second thrilling chapter of the Vainglory saga—a world where mystery coils through every shadow and survival demands courage, cunning, and a will to change before the darkness does it for you.

Book 2 in this new Fantasy LitRPG Adventure by Plum Parrot, where the line between hero and villain blurs as the MC must take on a seemingly impossible series of challenges.

A fun listen for a long drive! :)

I love this series. It makes a good listen for long drives, of which I have plenty. Even the audio glitch in the early version didn't cause me any grief, and it's fixed now! :)

Great second chapter

Finally get to see what Ward is building up to. Exciting action and heartfelt characters. The first version of this recording had some editing issues, but they were quickly addressed within two days of release. The latest version is the usual high quality I’ve come to expect from Plum Parrot books.

I wanted to give it 5 stars but editing was bad

I really enjoyed the first book I like this book too and I would have gave it the five stars but the editing in it was really bad it would cut off in spots when it was transitioning from One recording to another recording and then one of the chapters it completely skipped almost the entire chapter and for some reason that ended up being one of the most important chapters cuz they kept bringing stuff up I had no idea what was going on because it was in that chapter. I really hope that in book 3 they either get a different editor or whoever does the editing pays more attention because it ruins the immersiveness of the book

Grim dark progression at its finest!

Plum does it again with magnificent world building. I don’t know how they managed to combine a detective/western with dark fantasy and then adding a prog system on top of it all. Loved the murder mystery/cult aspect too.

Give this a listen and you won’t be disappointed.

Another awesome world built by one of my favorite authors.

Was a pleasant surprise having a MC isakai'd that's around my age.
I heard there were some editing issues on the download from day 1 and 2 but since I downloaded a few days after that I had no issues.
