Guild Master

A LitRPG Adventure (Tower of Power, Book 1)

By: Ivan Kal

Narrated by: Ryan Burke

Morgan used to be a pretty normal guy. He went to college by day and played online games by night, leading his guild into new conquests - until he got hit by a car and a dude wearing a wet suit appeared in front of him. The man offered him a new chance at life in a world he had created, a world with similar rules to the games Morgan loved to play. There is the promise of great rewards and power, he says, if Morgan manages to complete the Tower of Power. Stupid name, I know.

Morgan didn't usually trust strangers who seem to have god complexes, but he was in a pinch. There's a crazy-looking dude saying he is technically not a god on one end of the tunnel and a blinding light on the other end - and he was really not digging the light.

So he accepted the offer from the surfer god-not-god.

Getting dropped into a strange new world with no idea what the rules are was not something Morgan was a fan of; and in this strange world, it seems like everything is out to eat his face. It was a good thing, then, that he stumbled onto two half-elf twins willing to help him get the hang of this strange new world.

Now, all he needs to do is survive long enough to reach this tower.

Enjoyable and fun

So yes this a fun story. The main protagonist Morgan’s pov is funny and witty.

I will say that the gender dynamics are a bit… antiquated but not horribly so.

Good start

I listened to this after reading Ivan’s other series hoping it would be as good and this book didn’t disappoint. What I love about Ivan’s books is that the supporting cast is powerful and useful and not just there for decoration.

Not Bad

This was a great new take on isakie and I feel that the video game mechanics just adds to the story very much. Hopefully the rest of the series continues the stride this book gave me, now onto the next one!

Fun story

A fun story that puts a few creative twists on the standard trope. Looking forward to listening to the next one.

Good start

These stories are like candy. Easy listening and straight forward story building with a little bit of foreshadowing. Annoying protagonist tho, how many weeks before you adapt to be aware nobody understands your way of language and still expect a different culture to completely understand you.
