Elf Empire: A LitRPG Kingdom-Building Adventure

Elf Empire, Book 1

De: John Stovall

Narrado por: Todd Haberkorn

Leo wanted to make something out of himself—and build dams.

However, the world doesn't want dams. And it mostly doesn't want civil engineers. It doesn't want men who do any sort of building or fighting or grand design, it seems.

So, when Leo finds his current girlfriend and boss being threatened by a brutal loan shark and all three of them get dragged through a portal to another world, it doesn't take long for him to decide this is the place for him. Plus, everyone has magic, and who wouldn't want that?

Leo appears in the realm of a fallen kingdom, one that desperately needs someone who will both fight for what's right and build a grand civilization.

Along with his new coterie of friends—a not-quite-a-princess elf and a crippled dragon—Leo must race to build his kingdom before the loan shark Kruegar can finish Leo off with a legion of orcs.

[A litRPG adventure with kingdom-building, base-building, some slice of life, and a whole lot of quipping. Also, an in-depth magic system, leveling options, and an empire chart system. Check out the audiobook that has received over half a million views on RoyalRoad!]

Really fun Kingdom Builder

This book took me back to some of the earlier in the genre, lots of details on kingdom building, delegation, navigating difficult adversaries and nobles. Very well written and excellent performance.

Loved it.

I like the direction the story is heading in and how the Leo helps people grow. My only concern was that this might have been a harem story but the sensibility of the people and the importance on feelings makes me think that the author would not go in that direction.

Glad I didn't listen to the naysayers

Ilk to The Hobbit with lots of humor and flavor.

After reading a few reviews I put this treasure on my wait list. Some people just don't know what a great book really feels like these days. This author's planning and character creation is top tier. Each character has a uniquely solid build from strength to flaw. e.g. MC is an engineer but has a SIMP complex for women; the dragon is a power house tank with a self-esteem problem ect ect

Go with my gut, enough with these negative Nancys comments.

The book is pretty solid for the first book in the series. So we could do less pining over a woman that literally only had a couple lines at the beginning of the book and absolutely no other background on her. she basically ratted him out to the bad guys.

intelligent and inspired characters and plot

I love the misfit dragons the most, but all the characters are great and not drawn out emotional, which makes a good story. The plot is insightful with common story flow.
only complaint are the stat and leveling spots are WAY too long ... almost stopped listening altogether to audible.
great story.. looking forward to book 2

loved it

can't wait for more, everything tied together to make a great story.. can't wait for more kingdom building elements in the next book.. hopefully there is a next book!

very good story

I been looking for new books. the main character was not super overpowered and unlike other MCs has realistic brains

narrator can't really save this sadly.

narrator was very good with a wide range of voices and characterization bringing the characters to life... if only the main character had more depth then an empty tea cup. he has potential in his background, but none of that is really shown, only talked about. he has no flaws or character besides being general good guy. the world building is interesting but it's not enough for me. which is a shame because I was looking forwards to this.

Great Start

I really enjoyed this universe especially the kingdom building. The MC has a very interesting path.

Great new series

Really like the character building and the relationship development, particularly the dragons! Decent magic system, can get a bit crunchy at times
