Double-Blind: Rogue Tactics

Double-Blind, Book 1

De: J. McCoy

Narrado por: Ramon De Ocampo

Stay out of the spotlight, grind, and survive...

Choosing a college when your family is struggling can be difficult, but it isn’t supposed to be world ending. And the falling meteor is seriously limiting Matt’s options.

Now in the aftermath, his home city is locked down by a mysterious dome, corporations are looking to monopolize a wealth of new untapped resources, and people are suddenly developing powers via a System that seems to have borderline sinister intentions.

In the chaos, Matt decides to stick to what he knows: use his stealth class to adapt and survive.

Listen as Matt is dragged into a LITRPG apocalypse set in the real world, where the price of failure is death, and the prize for winning is beyond his wildest dreams. Perfect if you enjoy stories with morally gray characters, high stakes, stealth mechanics, System integration, a smart protagonist with weak-to-strong progression, and more!

Top Tier book One, one of the best.

I'm approach 500 LitRPG books, and this is in the top 2%. A phenomenally well-crafted and well written book, with a very smart MC facing against very smart villains.

First off, a dome comes over Dallas, along with magic for the world.

So, so much happens. I listened to it all three times, but I need to give it another listen. The MC is a *great* character.

Definitely get this book. I'm going through the second book now.

amazing

I enjoyed this book from the very start. I can't wait to listen to the next one !

Don't miss this one.

It does start out a little rough, but hang in there. This book is essentially a more grounded adventure following the LitRPG formula. What will surprise you is the action and environmental setup. Very well done and impactful. This should be the start of a great series.
The only thing I would change is the "reluctant hero" angle. It's overplayed a bit.

Very different, very good!

I absolutely loved this story! Despite the genre, this feels real. You have an incredibly intelligent MC who is so flawed in all the right ways that you can't help but applaud even just his potential for both character progression and power. It's a breath of fresh air that doesn't inundate you with stats every 2 mins and focuses on the story. It's dark and cynical, but if you kind of align with that, then you'll find a lot of solid comic relief. If you're not that way or don't have a dark sense of humor, you'll want to watch a video of kittens for a bit to take breaks from this one. I powered through cuz it was just too good for me to put down. I'm really looking forward to the rest of this story. Can't get enough of the tactical and intelligent plays in here. Very creative!

so close

you should give it a try

Not The Usual Power Trip

The MC is a “hero” that schemes like a top tier villain; very observant and manipulative. He’s not afraid to gaslight someone to get results and his approach is clinical in most circumstances. It’s definitely not for everyone, but if you go into this with an open mind, I think you’ll enjoy it. Great characters and world building. Narration is top notch.

Everything you want from a LITRPG novel

Fantastic story that’s focused more on character development and relationships than special powers and stats.

different from my usual.

This was differentfrom my usual reads, but I liked it. Little darker cerebral side of system apocalypse stories. Probably too close to the real side. I'll be on the look out for the next book.

Much better than some reviews suggest !!

Over 1300 audio books in my library. Lately been running into a lot of duds. Look forward to the next book. Don't get me wrong I have read or listened to many books this year I would have given a 1 or 2 to. This is not such a book.

I

Very enjoyable listen!

This was a very entertaining piece of work! I enjoyed the characters found within and the protagonist is quite unique. It has a hero against the world kind of vibe. Read this!
