Mage Tank

A LitRPG Adventure

De: Cornman

Narrado por: Daniel Wisniewski

A hilarious new Isekai LitRPG adventure perfect for fans of Dungeon Crawler Carl and Full Murderhobo.

Conquer ancient dungeons. Get rewarded. Grow stronger.

After being killed by a high-velocity tree-hug, Arlo is transported to a new world where those brave and talented enough to conquer ancient Delves are rewarded with incredible power and abilities.

Unfortunately for Arlo, there is no tutorial. He is immediately forced to tackle a Delve set to the highest difficulty with a party of adventurers who are not only strangers to him, but strangers to each other as well.

Arlo has no armor, no weapons, no knowledge of the world at large, and his party is growing increasingly suspicious of his lack of preparation and paper-thin excuses for how he got there.

There's also the fact that the System in charge seems to be treating Arlo's situation like a big, cosmic joke.

Determined not to die again, Arlo forgoes putting any points into his highest stat, Intelligence, and instead dumps everything he's got into Fortitude. After all, who needs equipment or fighting skills when you can eat fireballs for breakfast and still ask for more hot sauce?

Mage Tank begins a new Isekai LitRPG adventure that features steady progression, intelligent characters who spend time making intentional build choices, and tons of laughs. It’s not action all-the-time, but Arlo’s life is replete with danger and, more importantly, consequences.

Cool concept

The concept of a mage tank isn’t necessarily novel but few people are brave enough to write a book about one. It was a lot of fun. The MC reminded me of Jason from HWFWM at times. The MC is definitely OP which is something that I enjoy. A lot happens in this book and I’m interested in seeing what happens next. The narrator did a great job.

Deep cut references

Do you like litrpgs? What about references? What about subtle anime and nerd culture references? What about no restraint from hiding any cheese? If you've answered yes to all or most of these questions, this book is for you! I'd definitely call this a popcorn listen, a little fun, casual, and it has a nice simple "RPG" system that you're not looking at audiobook chapters just to listen to the dictation. Cornman has definitely set the hoops to start letting his sharks jump through, and I'm feeling there's going to be fire involved and probably a parade of Cephalopods.
I for one look forward to further books in this light hearted, referential, nerdy, inclusive, and overall fun series.
Grotto wishes for more of us minions for when he finally wrenches rule of the world with his tentacles and chews his opposition with his break!

Amazing entry

Dialogue is top tier for the genre. Mesh of sci-fi / litrpg is master craft. World building is gripping.

Funny

Good stuff, I listen to a lot of LIT RPG.
If they keep the laughs coming, I will always tune in.

It is like a tale fantasy story with a table top twist with friends.

Soooo good!!

Chefs kiss for all of it!! I loved the plot, humor, and characters and cannot wait for the next books!!

The laquocious mind invading dungeon spirit is critiquing how I talk.

Amazing. So many meme references. Loved every second of it. Also the narrator was AMAZING and I forgot to mention that in my initial review.

Silly and Entertaining

Loved the Narration and silly quips throughout the story. Small inconsistencies, but honestly nothing distracted from the flow of the story. I'll be listening to this entire series for sure! hope to see the next books come out quickly!

Hell Yeah!

Rare is the book that can get me to laugh out loud, sucks me in, and has such an amazing narrator.

beyond expectation

Had no expectations but truly enjoyed the story, and the narration made it even better.

Took a bit. I’m sold.

A bit of a slow starter, but there’s a point in the book that locked me in firmly behind the m.c. and got me geared for more. The nonsense is definitely fun, but once a little of the chaos behind the scenes slips out, chefs kiss.
