Altered Realms

A LitRPG Fantasy Adventure (Ascension, Book 1)

By: B.F. Rockriver

Narrated by: Maximillian Breed

Some people dream of getting a second chance at life. For Eli Miller, it was never a choice.

Most of Eli’s life has been spent running, doing everything in his power to protect his family. His world is plagued by war, wild magic, and unimaginable monsters. But none of these threats are more dangerous than the immortal beings known as Adventurers. They are players and Entarra is their game. Its citizens aren’t real. Yet, to the billions of near-sentient AI that live there, the game world is the only one they will ever know. It is where they are born, live, and die. Eli is no different.

After being attacked with a strange weapon, Eli awakens as the thing he fears most: an adventurer. Struggling to cope with his new reality, he finds himself in the middle of the most nefarious plot of all: His world, and everything he loves, is about to be deleted.

An Epic LitRPG Saga for people who love Log Horizon, Ready Player One, and The Matrix.

a great start to a new storyline

I enjoyed the book. It certainly picked up at the end and it seemed like the author as well as the narrator felt more confident with the characters. Their are definitely some characters I would love to see more from, try to understand why they are the way they are outside of just being flavor text. It's a good series and I'll definitely pick up the next one

Great start

While the beginning of this book is very very shaky; it does get better. I found the opening to be confusing at first. Also the narration is good but incredibly slow.

LOVED This Story!!!!! 😁😊

I RARELY give full stars but This Book was AWESOME!!!!! ^~^ ^~^ ^~^ ^~^ ^~^ ^~^ ^~^ ^~^ ^~^ ^~^ ^~^ ^~^ ^~^ It delivers in ways I Wish other books Try to but constantly fall short where this one doesn't. The story was believable with a solid progression and theme. Aka the MC Isn't perfect and he doesn't claim to be. He constantly faces his emotions and struggles while being willing to both give up and push forward constantly. If that's confusing for you then you don't know human emotions lol. I was personally hoping for a happy ending (via fam) but the growth in both character and story was definitely with it. Sometimes pple Try to convince you that "you'll get overt it" but you honestly don't really... Especially when it's still Fresh in your mind, heart, and soul... The plotline was solid in that you can Feel the confusion and character growth from the MC. While Also getting a growing understanding of the world from the interactions and perspectives portrayed from different characters. All in all? = I Loved Out!!!!! ^~^ ^~^ ^~^ ^~^ ^~^ ^~^ ^~^ ^~^ ^~^ ^~^ ^~^ ^~^ I'm honestly HUNGRY for more from this world/story but I understand that I have to wait 😒😢🙃 and I look forward to more from this author!!!!! Kinda wish I could create a cabinet that would deliver all my favorites from the future so I wouldn't have to wait but ehh 😏🤷🏽 I can only stalk this Half Wolfkin to get more stories lol. Btw? The voice acting was on point. Could honestly have bin better with the changes from female to male to child etc. but I've heard FAR worse and it was pretty decent all around lol.

Slow to start but Amazing!

This book starts off a bit slow but once it gets going wow what a great story. I can't wait to listen to the next one!

Fun story

If you enjoyed NPC's by Drew Hayes then I suggest giving this book a try. I won't give any more details because I hate spoilers in reviews. I was given this book in exchange for an honest review. I will be buying the next one and look forward to it.

Great book can't wait for the second to come out

Amazing book grabs your attention from page one all the way to the very last word

Awesome Opening Act

This book has everything you could ask for in a LitRPG book one. It has intriguing characters, a well thought out system and some huge stakes in and out of game. It is one of the best books from 2020.

We get it, he’s an NPC

The author spends too much time trying to remind us the MC is an NPC. It became an issue because it didn’t seem like the author ever wanted to stop reminding us, breaking into the story to fill hours with material that adds nothing.

Great start

nice and long.
combat is great
All though it doesn't feel fast paced I feel like the story is always moving forward

a must read or listen

Great book the audio version just makes it even better! I would recommend either version.
