Tower Reborn

A LitRPG Adventure (Realm Grinder Book 1)

By: Wolfe Locke

Narrated by: Adam Stubbs

Inside the Tower, there is only one choice—climb or die.

John Mavren and his comrades eventually reached the 100th floor, five years after the desolation of the outside world and 20 years after the Tower first appeared. In a violent battle to ascend, John was struck down even as he dealt the final blow to the last boss.

Those who survived were granted passage off ruined Earth and into worlds unknown, but they refused. Instead, they asked the Final Guardian for only a single grace—that John be returned to life.

Time moved backward.

Bestowed with a fragment of his original power and with almost no memory of what had happened before, John wakes up in the past only one year after the arrival of the Tower.

With a sense of impending doom and a single, desperate hope for survival, John knows he must conquer the Tower and defeat those who dwell within.

He must become powerful enough to overcome a forgotten future and stop the apocalypse.

From best seller Wolfe Locke comes Tower Reborn in the Realm Grinder series, a new tower-climbing LitRPG about an apocalypse, a tower of realms, and a hero going from strong to stronger.

Good premise bad writting

I don't hate this book. It is just that the premise of past actions in the tower staying with you after you die in a reset moment is great. How it was handled with the main character being a 1 track single liner no depth meat head is a problem. While Ultimate Muscle is cool we could have seen more power depth to this character. The crystal dragon was more of a waste of plot development than a plot motivator.

Also never have the narrator indicate that the mc looked back at a moment when the story sequence is not done. It ruins all sense of stakes.

Only get. this book if you have a credit to burn.

started great but has slowly unraveled

the leveling system is so inconsistent it's basically pointless. for example... John at level 25 and on floor 11 returns to floor four to help gather vegetables from a dungeon greenhouse for the starving people of beggars end. then almost gets snuffed by a low level watermelon plant monster. he would have died without the female saving him.
then he goes through all this super hard fights and grinds through to floor 20 where no one has ever been strong enough to reach and low and behold a couple people have just been following him and keeping pace the whole time. so it makes the accomplishments seem trivial. he passes up almost all looting opportunities which is super annoying. his level takes for freaking ever to increase like he will pass through two or three floors and it stay the same then out of left field he jumps up 2-3 levels are one time it's very frustrating. then the plot armor is freaking crazy. everytime the author writes himself into an unwinnable situation John gets divine help or he skips writing about an entire couple floors and just adds levels like it's no big deal like "don't worry folks there's nothing to see here" then there is the diamond dragon. from everything written that boss is completely unbeatable and I'm not going to sit here and listen to how this mc is going to pull a win straight out of his ass. complete bunk I'm over it

fun new tower climber series!

Good story and narration!

Awakening with a strong sense of deja vu our main character must fight his way through the tower to gain strength and save humanity. Collecting friends and allies along the way he will have to work hard to save humanity from the calamity of the crystal dragon set to destroy it!

Adam does a wonderful job with the narration and really brings the story to life!

I enjoyed this story and can't wait to find out what happens next!

Great Book

Did a really good job of moving the story forward without going over every single step the main character takes along the way but also not making it feel like you missed anything along the way.

Just ok

Feel like everything was there for a 4 star book but it just didn’t quite make it still an ok read if you enjoy the genre
