The Fort at the End of the World

De: Justin Marks

Narrado por: Christian J. Gilliland

LEARN—PROGRESS—SURVIVE

Jason and his friends just wanted to spend a week at the lake house. Time to relax, hang out, and catch up on old times. Then the System arrived.

It only took a few hours for their world to become a real-life roleplaying game; trading some downtime for the need to learn new skills and powers while trying to defend their new home, their families, and survive.

They don’t know the rules. They don’t know what’s coming next. What they do know is; they need to reinforce and expand their fort while protecting it, keep leveling up, and explore a dangerous new world.

Jason and his friends have no choice but to grow as a team in this base-building LitRPG that kicks off a new series.

Good fun

New to the genre. A ton of fun!!! Looking forward to the next books in the series.

Great story, loved the characters

I usually dont go for base building litrpgs, but I am glad I listened to this one. the characters worked together flawlessly. Which is quite refreshing, to be honest, I am way too used to betrayal in litrpg, instead I get real friendships which was honestly great. The story had a steady pace and I honestly look forward to listening to it again. Great job all around.

Fort building and survival

End of the world as you know it building a fort for survival, saving family along the way and making friends from this world and other

good

starts slow but get good i hope for a book 2 give it a try main guy is fun

it's eehh?

I'm currently writing this review at chapter 14 because I'm not sure if I'll finish this book. I like that it's a group setting with friends surviving the rpg Apocalypse but it's just giving tabletop D&D rpg and I don't really like that and the progression is too slow to me. I'll write another review if I end up finishing the book.

And let the druid begin

And we let the bejewey begin to save in the universe and I world. There's some interesting mechanics here. How to start a beating system and help humanity as well as family dynamics. That's a good read for around the pool

D&D Buddies Ready for Magic

I absolutely adore the concept of a group of D&D nerds working together to face the System apocalypse.

This book is the early days of learning about the system from the viewpoint of the party druid as they face the dangers and all too human desire to help others and reconnect with family..

A fantastic slice of life adventure that follows normal people on their journey into danger and magic.

The narrator was solid and fit the mood of the book well. 10/10

It is too strict with the rules of the new world

Overall the story was 4 out of 5 stars. I love base building and when I saw the preview of this I knew I had to read it.

I am not sure if I will read the 2nd after this one. I’m not sure if the narrator wasn’t good enough or if it was just a dry story.

The story automatically gets into the thick of it with the base building, almost too much so. The shock/drama of their world turning into a litrpg didn’t phase this group of dnd veterans. It’s glazed passed so fast they immediately get into the day to day. And most of the story goes over the day highlights of what they accomplished almost like it’s an RTS game.

Something that was too strict was the way they got skills and could only pick from five assigned classes. Didn’t seem like a ton of options. They also couldn’t initiate combat from too far away or it wouldn’t count against the mob. Just kinda felt like that would nerf the creativeness of someone that thinks outside the box.

My thoughts at the end of the world

This was my first gaming style book and I am so glad I was introduced to it! I felt like I was in the book and playing the game at the same time. The author gives just enough detail to allow your imagination to create the world and the characters in it. Can’t wait for the next book and I hear there are more books to come! 10/10 would highly recommend.

a D&D diary, not a D&D experience

This reads less like something happening to the reader or listener, or even to the main character and more like someone's statistical summary, or their story after the fact. Dialogue is mostly "we talked about it and decided..." more as a summary and less as anything engaging, I would have preferred more individual lines to give the characters more personality and flavor.

I wanted to like it, I still do, I like the concept, but this story in particular was a flop for me. The leveling and fort building concept sounded interesting. The immersion left a lot to be desired. This is an ok story... but that's about it.

That said, if you're ok with not being immersed in the story and enjoy a second hand account, ie "so Bob and I walked down the path" or "I was as five percent, I so..." or "we decided to do x" it's ok.
