About this listen

One man. One tower. One year to escape before everyone dies.

Lucas was shocked when he awoke to find the world had ended. An alien AI called the System had taken over Earth and transformed his apartment building into a 100-floor dungeon tower of traps, monsters, and loot. Trapped at the top, Lucas and the other residents have just one year to reach the ground floor and escape before the tower self-destructs.

That’s his first problem.

The second is he slept through the System’s welcome orientation, so a Class was picked for him. Lucas is now a Blood Reaver. A brutal Class based on speed, ferocity, and striking from the shadows. He’s expected not to just defeat his enemies, but to slaughter them and bathe in their blood. Their blood is now his power.

Outraged at being invaded, Lucas vows to grow stronger and take back his world. He will not only survive but thrive as he carves a bloody path to freedom.

a good litrpg book with a interesting world build

ever just have a dead sleep and miss super important messages? well, that's the main character! lol he has to make best with given "gifts" in a apocalypse style world. I can't say more on that or spoil the goods
the narration is well done and in a voice that can be made out well with good audio
the main character has his flaws that make it interesting to see what he will do with a mess of different elements agenst him and friends/allys the ending? well that makes me impatient to get the next book can't wait

Why not just stick a bleeding corpse up his...

This is just so hard to get into. The bird is the best part of the book. The MC is okay, just every time he gets hurt "Let me roll around in this roadkill and I'll be good as new!" or so it seems. You expect a certain amount of plot armor for MCs, but this dude is in a dome, layered with bubble wrap, and covered in all kinds of armor. I never really feel like there is any chance he or his bird will die. Oh no, I got a serious cut, good thing the enemies blood splashed on me and gave me "Just enough" healing to keep going! Bleh

great book

author and narrator did an amazing job. not sure why everyone is complaining about the MC...oh I forgot there all amazing and would handle a situation like this with a calm and collective head and not make a single mistake. anyways great book, good progression. I just hope we don't have to wait a year for more.

the classes and the tower climb.

I like the progression and the characters. Hugo is hilarious to me and his class is dope. Lucas class is one of my favorite of any series so far.

different class archetype makes a gripping tale.

the different class archetype and sarcastic system make this an enjoyable read. the host of different characters make this a good all around read without making it boring.
I can't wait for book 2 to come out.

Great start to a series

This book clearly and unabashedly takes inspiration from some of the most popular series in this genre without feeling derivative.

CARNAGE

Fantastic book.
Lots of blood and carnage.
Akin to a bersker fighter mixed with a hemomancer.
Very brutal and enjoyable
