Obelisk: System Integration: A LitRPG Adventure

Obelisk: System Integration, Book 1

De: Conor Malachi

Narrado por: Pavi Proczko

Ominous obelisks land on Earth with a single message: Join the games to give humanity a fighting chance to survive... Or roll over and die.

Too bad for them, Warren isn't the rolling-over type.

Cancer may be kicking Warren's a$$, but he's not about to let aliens destroy his home and everything he loves (which is mostly just his dog, Buck). Besides, what does he have to lose?

Better to die with sword in hand, bleeding out from a head wound than in some hospital bed...

Once the games begin, Warren can't help but think, "Maybe hospital beds aren't so bad after all."

Nah, F that! If you're going to go out, might as well go out having an impaled taraza (whatever the hell that is) at the end of your blade.

Obelisk: System Integration is an action-packed, epic, LitRPG apocalypse series. Our heroes face off an alien invasion, academy politics, PvP, and tower ascension—all to save Earth from being destroyed. Perfect for fans of Defiance of the Fall, Life in Exile, and Apocalypse: Generic System.

Good potential but the cancer aspect is painfully bad

I like this take on a system apocalypse with only a small group fighting for earth. Also was a fan the intrigue of the game being rigged against humanity. Genuinely great setup and world potential.

Unfortunately, the MCs struggle with cancer in the context of this story is so stupid as to almost ruin the whole thing. Choosing this as the main motivation for and limitation on he MC is absolutely baffling. The author created a world where healing magic can cure any wound, regrow limbs, and characters can gain enough resilience to shug off bullets. But somehow accelerated cell division is incurable without a near mythical potion made from ingredients sources from across the universe??? Ugh.

I'd actually be intested in reading a story of person with a terminal illness being swept up in a system apocalypse in which the calus system doesnt allow his disease to be cured (say it recognizes the disease as in inate part of him at intrgration and transorms it into a permanant curese, and healing can't cure curses). This however feels so contrived, like the author needed a way to nerf their MC so just plucked an issue out of a hat and went with it.

I'll get the next one, but if hes still having random "cancer episodes" by the end of it, I'll be done there.

Looking forward to more!

Really enjoyed this and though I finished two days ago I’m still thinking about. Narrated well. Good character building. Plenty was accomplished to finish an arc but lots of setup for more.

Very enjoyable

I liked the performance the most. The character development was also very good. The story was interesting.

Long wait for what

OK So i had this one on preorder due to all the hype online about the series. it was a long wait for a kind of meh story first all i hate multiple perspective especially when it done to boost word count as far I'm concerned, and this one had many such addition to the story. progression was also slow. there in a tower with 100 floors and that is just the first of the trial, but they only finished floor 5 ?? either the tower is never going to get finished or author is going to try and milk 20 books out of me no thanks. the only 2 good points so far is narrator was great, and the magic / system was interesting. i am unsure if i will give the next book a try or not at this time.

Slow mehhhhh

This is YA fiction and not very good. I’m really sad I wasted a credit on this. The jokes are not good and the MC is just puddles of mediocre

Inconsistent story

The story and it's progression is inconsistent, one part that sticks out is that Luis comes up with the idea for Warren to activate is berserker skill, but when the group is rehashing what happened the team all start piling on Warren about using the skill; like he did it on his on, like they didn't understand what the skill does, and still pushed him to activate it and then hit him with a rock so that the skill would be focused at them. Lastly, I get having a character with a questionable character (Veronica), but having a character that has a bad attitude, never has a positive thing to say, and insert that into a team that's supposed to say humanity is idiotic, I can truly say this is one of the worse litrpg titles I have ever read.

the story is very "I'm a 14-year-old and this is deep vibe"

I seriously think a preteen boy wrote this book. with the constant penis jokes and shallow character development I wouldn't recommend this to anyone.
