Dodge Tank

Crystal Shards Online, Book 1

De: Rick Scott

Narrado por: Eric Michael Summerer

"There's only one rule … don't get hit."

Ryan's life sucks.

His brother is a jerk, his mom is sick, and his legs are next to useless thanks to a neurological disorder. Plus the world ended two centuries ago from nuclear war. Now, what's left of humanity live below ground, with the only escape from reality being the massive VR world of Crystal Shards Online.

But even in the game, Ryan's life sucks. Unable to play a combat class due to his condition, he works as a miner, earning barely enough to get by and not nearly enough to afford the operation that will save his mom's life.

When Ryan discovers an item that grants the ability to dodge any attack, however, he has the chance to become one of the game world's most elite and sought after players: a Dodge Tank.

But for someone who's never played a combat class, success isn't so easily had.

To save his mom, Ryan will have to overcome his disability and level his way to the top. But the real-world consequences are more far reaching than he ever could have imagined and the fate of not just his mother, but humanity itself, may be resting in his hands.

good story and good characters

I like this book. I actually care about whats happen inside and outside the vr mmo rpg. In other litrpg books I didn't care about the real world.

- Clean romance

- Kept me hooked from start to finish!

Cons:

- None

Overall, highly recommend! Buying book 2 now! 😄

Monsters,ninjas world seams to be ending

Love it sci-fi world with real world problems characters and stories about how they will make it better

Wow

Holy crap that twist at the end. I pride myself in finding where stories are going to go but dam this one threw me for a loop. I won't spoil it for you. I highly recommend and I'm happy that the main character isn't a hybrid like many other Litrpgs I've been reading lately. I am really excited for the next book which I am dling now.

so great!

I love this whole series! I'm wishing for book 5! give this one a try. I was hooked on the first chapter. so many neat twists! I found myself actually screaming for joy when awesome stuff happened.

great book

I loved this book, i have purchased book 2. if you enjoy a interesting take on litrpg you will like this book

10/10 listen, would recommend

I've listened to the whole series so far and they are probably my favorite books I've ever listened to and I love the narrator his performance is amazing

One of the best of LitRPG

This is one of the best LitRPG series I’ve read/listened to, and I’ve listened to just about all of them. The interaction between real and virtual is very well thought out. The characters are well done as well. Just wish there was more written already!!

Needed a little extra work, but good

This review is for Books 1-3.

Imagine a couple on the beach and a 100 ft tsunami is 100 yards out. The couple stand there chit chatting about nonsense when they should be RUNNING TO HIGHER GROUND. <— just a hypothetical

This happens throughout the series and becomes laughable in book 3.

The flawed MC becomes an annoying crybaby in book 3, and the narrator just makes it worse.

This series could’ve been in my top five if just a little more editing was done to smooth over the MC and correct several glaring continuity issues. Still, I’ll probably continue with book 4 when it comes out, because, well, you know how it is. Hopefully the editing will be better.

Fantastic premise and outstanding plot, but with flaws. I guess overall worth the credit.

fun litrpg with an interesting twist

listened to this on audible and have to say I listened to it in one go while at work.
