Resumen del Editor

In a magical dystopia, one young man would sell his soul to save his siblings—and the Starbrite Corporation is buying—in this all-too-real urban fantasy.

Seventeen-year-old Truth Medici scavenges for scraps to eat; weathers his parents' abuse; and battles derelicts, killer pimps, and demons in the soul-crushing stretch of desperation he calls home. Even the cops steer clear of the toxic Harban slums.

But just across the canal live the magical elite, with their wealth, flying carpets, gorgeous mages, and custom spell beasts, all thanks to the patronage of the almighty Starbrite Corporation. Getting there, and taking his three vulnerable siblings with him, is Truth's only dream.

When Truth's performance on the Starbrite Aptitude Test surpasses all expectations, it's the start of a new life. Granted use of the System Astrologica, his access to spells, cultivation tonics, and knowledge—not to mention real food—is limitless. But in Harban, even dreams come with a price tag . . .

Turns out, something more than power has been implanted in Truth. Something beyond his control. As the motto goes, "A Starbrite Man Is Always Ready." But for what? Truth is about to find out. Because he's not just fighting to break free from the slums and save himself and his sibs anymore. Now he's fighting the world itself.

The first volume of the hit cyberpunk fantasy series—with more than 900,000 views on Royal Road—now available on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and Audible!

Inspiringly original and downright prophetic

This is a hidden gem for sure. I whole heartedly recommend anyone who is a fan of this genre to give it a whirl because it’s unique fresh take on a niche genre of fantasy. This book was brilliant and narrated phenomenally as well. Only downside is lack of description.

If you're a murder hobo and ...

you know it, clap your hands, if you're a murder hobo and you know it, clap your hands, if you're a murder hobo and you know it, then your headspace will woe it...

Warby Picus is a creative writer and this noir cyberpunk novel highlights that fact extremely well. There's no getting around that the MC is mentally unstable and "the system" exploited that fault to drive him into a one-dimensional killing machine, all the while convincing him he was helping his siblings. The author, along with an equally excellent performance by Todd Haberkorn work to keep the story compelling and, odd as it may seem, hilarious at times. The MC seems to be a mash-up between Halo's Master Chief and Kurt Russell in the 1998 movie Soldier.

What is really interesting is that the MC, for all the wrongs he committed, comes across as a tortured soul. One who can't be forgiven his past murders - as he, himself, accepts - one is left with a sense of pity for how he was exploited.

Looking forward to book 2.

Outstanding

Got this one on a whim and was pleasantly surprised. Great world building and writing with just a sprinkle of litrpg. Would highly recommend.

Dark and gritty! Superb!

This is the first time hearing this narrator and I am amazed by his talent! Effort and diverse voices, mixed with believable emotional range. I will be watching his works from now on. Now the story is dark and an emotional roller coaster from start. I had to take some breaks every now and then. I enjoyed the mix of cyberpunk magitech mixed with high fantasy voodoo shamanism, the author mixes and matches different genres and timepieces to create this dystopian universe. The mix of litrpg/progression fantasy and cultivation is a very welcome addition. It is not without fault though, the transitions from scene to scene sometimes is jarring. Lack of description about the environment or the situation causes confusion. Overall I love the book, give it a try. To the author, please don't give him too much of a conscience. I love how realistic and gritty the universe is in terms of how people are really. It is a bleak world where power is everything. I hope he doesn't go full lawful good. I really do hate morality talk when I want the mc to be badass.

Better than you think

Slumrat Rising is better than you think, by a long shot. The story starts with a lot of background information and seemingly random, cluttered thoughts from the main character. This makes sense given his life situation and where he's from. As you get deeper into the narrative, you find that this story is a unique blend of cyberpunk, cultivation, fantasy, and religion.

Religion is woven throughout most of the story, becoming more intense as the plot progresses. The title, Slumrat Rising, is very fitting for the series. The main character truly embodies a slumrat, facing significant growth, numerous pitfalls, high points, and lows.

It's hard to fully convey everything I think about this book and the series. I initially bought the book on a whim, using a token, but I ended up buying the next one with my own money because I was eager to find out what happened next.If you're reading this review, I apologize for not being able to give you a perfect one.

However, I encourage you to give the book a chance. It's much better than you might expect, and it may stay with you for a long time. I've already finished the second book and can't wait for the third one to come out.

Damn creative and damn good

From someone who has read tons of litrpg, and all the classic sci-fi, fantasy, cyberpunk, I have to say that this book was awesome!

It was nothing like I expected, and it reminded me a little of everything. Somehow it all comes together into a story that is familiar but is creative enough to be something unique.

At times it reminded me of the average litrpg but then the wuxia genre would rear its head followed by hints of Space Opera. There are hints of Dune, Snow Crash, Foundation.

It’s pulpy and fast paced at times which can be jarring to some, but overall it’s damn good and damn creative.

Narrator has helluva range and brings the dialogue to life very well.

Amazing Narrator and Story!

The story was already great, but the narrator really breathed life into the characters in a way I haven't heard in my 100+ book collection. Anyone who is a fan of the Helldivers game series, Warhammer 40K, or the LITRPG genre in general will feel right at home in the chaotic fast paced tale.

I can't really understate how surprised I was by the execution. it's a real shame there aren't more reviews for this title.
