Lord of EXP Farming 1

A LitRPG Adventure

De: D. Pidge

Narrado por: Christian J. Gilliland

Most people can’t farm experience in their sleep… or without leaving their room.

The 42nd Merging arrives, mass-transporting every human to a hostile new world with a System. Everyone must choose a Class, and Quest directives compel them to climb the leaderboards for categories like highest level… and most kills of other people.

Jordan isn’t anyone special before the Merging, but the new start equalizes the playing field. He must exploit his versatile class to overcome powerful monsters and opportunistic strangers who kill people as a quick path to power.

He’ll find that the greatest threat may not be monsters or humans but hostile alien species added in the Merging. Sharing the leaderboards and the same final prize, they will stop at nothing to wipe out the competition.

For Jordan, surviving isn’t enough. The System promises unfathomable power to those who embrace it and distinguish themselves. To do so requires more than personal strength. Jordan must establish dominion over the new world, defending his territory and expanding it so that he alone reigns above all.

With the power of multitasking and a summonable army, how hard can it be?

Number Fun

If you enjoy the number aspect of litrpg, this is for you. Lots of skills and points and rankings. But, of course, there's also plenty of action and stakes on hand. If you like system apocalypse stories, you'll probably enjoy

Spoiler Review

Finally a Litrpg book where the MC uses his Minions as intended!!!
MC gets the ability to summon air and land drones and instead, as to other Litrpg I have read, actually uses them as intended and sends them off to farm some EXP for him while he does other things.

The only bad thing about this book is that it could easily be half the length and nothing of the story would be lost. The MC OVER explains EVERYTHING and instead of just moving the story along with something that should just take two seconds to explain we end up with him inner monologuing and uses the next 5-10 minutes explaining something absolutely meaningless only for him to then do it over again 5 seconds later.

good but I zoned out a lot

the story itself is pretty good. smart mc who uses his class appropriately and makes pretty wise upgrade decisions. a lot of over explanation and internal exposition/ monologuing. so i agree with the other rebooted reviews about that. book ends on a big cliffhanger so wait for book 2 if you don't like that. over all id say it was good

Slow Burn Nearing Analysis Paralysis

I enjoy LitRPG stories and bringing to life mechanics of building a character through choosing skills, but this story got so caught up in vacillating about skills and choices that the overall story seemed to get a bit lost. The story itself didn't seem to really progress until chapter 51 out of 66 chapters. Interesting concept of a story, although it has been done before. Main character, Jordan, gets whisked away to an alternate dimension/planet where a system has multiverse characters vying for the top spot. Jordan, being a shut in computer geek with some previous athletic experience, chooses a class appropriate to him and progresses through the story at a slow pace. Despite the story's slowness, I felt compelled to finish the story and see what happens next. I would have like to see quicker progression of the story and hope that maybe the next installment moves toward an end goal quicker or another character gets built out that the reader can connect with.

Crab mentality Vs Industry

The story is a fun little jaunt through a quaint apocalypse. much more of an individualistic story without being a "lone wolf" cliche, though the character group grows as the story progresses showing promise for the world at large. A good first step into the multiverse.
There are some audio mixing, editing and volume quality issues on the production side so if that is a major problem then listening to the book in short snippets may be better.
Overall very enjoyable !

Great

I'd never read D. Pidge before but like Christian J Gilliland,and I'm glad I gave the book a try. Christian did a fabulous reading and the story was fun.

the MC is too much in his head

half way through the story the MC is stupid and over thinks over acting

Cool concept!

I really enjoyed the concept. The world-wide competition was fun. The world was unique with characters and races that were unanticipated. I like that it didn’t feel like a lot of generic fantasy novels out there. I’m interested in seeing where this series goes. I really enjoyed the narration.

"Nice Shootin Tex"

Overall, I thought the book was decent—not amazing, but solid enough to keep me going. It’s definitely a slow burn, and by the end, it felt like we’d only just gotten through the first half of the first story arc.

The one thing I really couldn’t get past was the so-called "mercy kill" the MC makes very early on. He comes to that decision way too fast—especially for someone who’s only been integrated into the system for a few hours. There’s little emotional hesitation, and feels really rushed.

What made it even more jarring is how inconsistent this moment feels with his personality later in the story. As the story goes on, the MC shows emotional depth and trauma—he’s visibly shaken when recalling the slaughter of his starting group and his many near-death encounters later on. Yet, somehow, he never expresses a shred of regret or doubt over the mercy killing of a woman, A HUMAN BEING who, in hindsight, could've have been saved had he tried to get her to focus for just a moment. That significant lapse in emotional continuity really bothered me the entire time as I listened on.

Crafting progression

The blurb was really not representative of the story. Its a crafting progression fantasy. They guy makes drones and powers them up. Thats it. our main character is extremely weak and has no real personal progression so just be aware that its a crafting character and your not going to see him get any stronger himself through the story.
