Resumen del Editor

He didn't plan on becoming a top champion of the world. Then, the System arrived...

Xavier Collins was sitting in class when the System integrated Earth into the Greater Universe, where countless vast kingdoms, empires, and collectives battle for domination.

He didn't know what choosing to be a Champion would entail. He just liked the sound of it.

But when he's teleported to the aptly-named Tower of Champions, he must face challenges against those who have known about the System since birth.

Chance may have gotten him a standing start, but now he has to earn the place he's stumbled into if he's going to save his world. Time to power up and fight for Earth!

Don't miss this new action-packed apocalyptic LitRPG by Todd Herzman, with levels, a detailed System, classes, skills, towers, loot, & everything you love about progression fantasy.

Fantastic story

This was a pleasant surprise, good story with great longevity. MC is understandable, and side characters are sprinkled in just right for me.

Another crybaby MC gains power while whining.

The main character seems very weak and childish, and in chaotic situations, he appears crippled by personal reflection. In this type of scenario, if you don't act without thought, you die. Clearly, the author has never won a real fight in his life, and likely never been in one. This guy talks and thinks to himself like he's a sixth grader. I'm sure the author is doing this as a way of world-building, but it's far too unrealistic to allow any enjoyment in the story.

The narration makes the main character seem like he has to use his fingers to do basic math like a child. For example, the MC thinks, "Why do I have so little left? If each spell costs 100 MP and I cast five spells, that's 500 MP. I started with 550 MP, so I should have 50 MP left, and my interface says I have 50 MP left. Damn, I'm smart. I should be able to move things with my mind because I'm a child who can't take what I have and learn to work with it. Oh, look, now the interface gives me the option to move things with my mind so if I cry a little more in my own mind, it could give me the power without the work because I'm not looking back. I don't want to complain, but I want to complain. I want everything to be easy, but I guess I shouldn't complain because I would be dead if I kept looking back. But damn, this sucks, and I suck, and I want more. Cry, cry, cry. I'm not walking backward; I just think I should have done something different, but I'm not complaining."

It's bad to the point that I couldn't take it anymore and stopped the book.
This is not even YA logic; it's very childish and has way too much introspection to keep you in the moment of the events really going on. (It gets to the point where it feels like an AI wrote it, as it gets stuck doing that a lot rather than creating dialogue.) Sometimes, you have to cut the cancer out, and he and his weak introspection and logic are cancer to the safety of the world. This MC is just another crybaby loser that gets power to make the story work without being relatable.

Well done!

For me the start was a little rough, but it smoothed out and ended very well! Looking forward to the next book and most likely check out the authors other works! Narration is well done and cover art is pretty dope!
