Dungeon Tour Guide: A LitRPG Adventure

Dungeon Tour Guide, Book 1

By: Aaron Shih

Narrated by: Travis Baldree

Lucas used to delve dungeons. Now, he has to run one.

After Lucas dies during a freak explosion, divine intervention sees him brought back to life with the power to control a new dungeon.

There are just a couple of issues: his old body is bound to his dungeon, and the craziness of what he thought was his final act is only getting weirder. When he sees newbie adventurers entering his dungeon, though, he decides to help them survive and complete their quests.

After all, adventuring is a process, and someone needs to guide the rookies.

litRPG with a dungeon

"Fun easy listen with strong litRPG elements and likable characters"

I like this series and the world that has been built. It feels like a lighter version of the Wandering Inn that has a ton of potential to grow into an interesting series. The character interactions feel real and nearly all are likable enough you feel real stakes when danger is presented. I'm looking forward to moving on to the second book as credits or sales allow.

Some interesting elements

It does have some interesting elements, but I found it very boring. I can't say I was invested in the outcomes of situations. It never felt like things could go wrong. Like reading a book while being wrapped in bubble wrap?

Solid story very entertaining

This was my first Aaron Shih book and I really enjoyed this premise and will be watching for book 2. Travis Baldree as always was wonderful. Solid Character development, plot and pacing. I guess my only qualm was and this will contain a bit of a SPOILER but not so much it ruins the book.


I felt it was a bit odd that im the begging Lucas was a mid level adventurer with a small team that he was newer too. ThenBam he was helping train newer adventurers It was all well and good until he started training others that were far above his previous level. His level of knowledge just felt a bit off for his previous level before being dungeon bound. Like he knows A LOT and it just felt like it would have made more sense if we had a bit more info on how he knew so much and was so good at giving the info over to others beyond his level. I understand there always an aspect of "coaching" where your skills knowledge can be imparted at any level but this seemed a bit like he knew way more than we were led to beleive. Give us more backstory on how the hell he knows so much. I mean he did die in the first chapter... so he couldnt have been as amazing as he was made out to be in his coaching.

Enjoyable

Fun story that fell a little flat at times. Excited to see what they do to juice up the series in the next book!

not sure

it was definitely interesting. But I feel like it only Got my attention towards the end of the book. The book was kind of boring for my personal taste. And I have well over seven hundred books in my collection. A lot of these books you see on here I read when they were on royal road. Manwha, manga, light novels, And hundreds of foreign novels translated 8nder my belt too.

I've created dungeon and dragon stories that had more spice than this. it's not bad, but it isn't good?
