Warbreaker's Rise: A LitRPG Adventure

The Connected System, Book 1

By: Troy Osgood

Narrated by: J. S. Arquin

The Connected System has come to Earth, bringing with it the apocalypse...

In an instant, life as it was known is gone, replaced by a System called The Connection. It doesn't come quietly as earthquakes rock the planet, the chosen survivors falling unconscious as the Connection takes their bodies and Adapts them.

Lochlan Brady and his family were on their way home from a camping weekend when the Connection appears. He awakens with a new Adapted body, finding his wife missing. Now Loch must survive and thrive in this new world with his two teenage daughters, Harper and Piper. All Loch wants to do is protect his daughters and find his wife.

A chance encounter with creatures straight out of myth will force the family to quickly confront the reality of their new lives, the changed world and give Loch a jump in power. But with that power will come responsibility and more danger.

Along with the attention of some of the most powerful beings in The Connected System.

the annoying internal dialog of the main character... large parts of 'pondering' and little action

the story points are ok... but teenage characters are a bit annoying on top of the delay of action

Action packed

with the connection arriving a family caught in the middle. the wife disappears, and the father of young girls in attempting to escape danger accidently fine themselves in a deadly dungeon. luckily this family have a special trait that my be their key to survive

I’m going to recommend this to all my friends

I loved it so much I already stared recommend this to all my friends before I finished it

good

this book is good just having a hard time getting through the children and the whole family thing is not going well for me.

Some really good, a lot bad

The MC is quite annoying. The system comes and he’s most worried about and frets over the small things that make no sense than the actual dangers. He also doesn’t seem to be all there as the most obvious alludes him and it seems like his teenage daughters are more intelligent than him and that’s a low bar. The kids are stupid as hell. They use basic words anyone would know or could guess due to context clues but that have no clue (like what it could POSSIBLY mean to “level up”). The system makes no sense as the life force, experience and fuel for all skills is the same which going by how they use it, they’d never level up as they’d use their energy faster than gaining. Lately, the fact that the narrator uses a different name for some other books REALLY threw me off for a while.
