Path of Violence: A LitRPG Apocalypse

By: James Cook

Narrated by: Guy Williams

When the world ends, some men find redemption in the ashes.

Aiden Wyatt was a drug dealer, a thief, and a lost cause—until the System descended on Earth. Now, in a world where stats mean survival and monsters roam the wilderness, Aiden’s criminal past is his greatest weapon. After winning the favor of a cosmic overseer, he is granted an ancient spirit of intellect and a leveling potential most can only dream of.

But power comes at a price.

Haunted by his past and driven by a hunger for more, Aiden carves a bloody path through the chaos, determined to become the most powerful warrior Earth has ever seen. He’s not the hero anyone asked for, but in a world ruled by violence, he’s the one we deserve.

Brace yourself for a LitRPG Apocalypse packed with brutal action, relentless leveling, and a flawed anti-hero who refuses to quit. If you crave overpowered protagonists, dark worlds, and progression at any cost, For fans of Road to Mastery, Savage Awakening, and Victor of Tucson, this LitRPG fantasy is raw, ruthless, and impossible to put down!

James N Cook does it again!

Very entertaining. Definitely worth a listen while waiting for the next surviving the dead novel

James Rocks

This was another great title from James. Surviving The Dead is one of my favorite listens. This was a no brainer for me to buy. I hope the series continues.

extremely good

just finished it and love the concept I really hope the next one is coming out soon.

Will try next book

Barely crosses threshold for me to try next book as the first book has zero original content and author significantly struggles with pacing and making the book feel like a complete unit of reading. But, enough there to give it one more chance

Decent start to a series

A basic start to an apocalypse LitRPG story. The MC levels fast and falls into some power that continues to grow. He spends 95% of the book solo then runs into survivors at the end. That’s when the story starts to get semi interesting. I’ll give book 2 a shot when it drops
