The Stubborn Skill-Grinder in a Time Loop

A LitRPG Adventure

By: X-RHODEN-X

Narrated by: Daniel Wisniewski

An action-packed LitRPG Adventure perfect for fans of Mother of Learning, Primal Hunter, and The Perfect Run!

Fight. Grind. Grow strong enough to stop the Cataclysm.

Orodan was an orphaned street rat who clawed his way to the county militia with hard work. When calamitous events unfold and draw him into events bigger than himself, Orodan's battle-loving disposition leads to a warrior's death.

Then he wakes up again at the start of the Cataclysm. Then again. And again.

In a world of skills, titles, and blessings, a smart time-looper would perhaps scheme, plan, amass equipment, and allies. But not Orodan. If there's one thing he's good at, it's stubbornly trying the same thing over and over again via brute force till it's done.

If a wall is in front of him, going around is not an option. Instead, he'll batter it thousands of times until either the wall breaks or he does. And gain skill levels along the way.

Until, maybe one run, he'll grow powerful enough to stop the Cataclysm.

Experience this fast-paced LitRPG Adventure about Orodan and his progression toward becoming extremely overpowered using a time loop. The series features a detailed system, loads of skills, varied progression paths, deep worldbuilding, cultivation aspects, and a heroic character you can't help but root for!

Easiest 5 stars I have given in a while!!!

Very promising story can’t wait for the next one!
I am very impressed by the narrator as well. His voicing of old people sounds like the voice of Gandalf in LOTR films. I hope the author make his nickname available to be followed as it currently isn’t.

Great concept!

I loved the concept! Initially, I was worried that there was not enough character development. But I got a lot more of that later in the book. I feel like he advanced a little too quickly to the point where I thought things could have wrapped up in this book. There are some loose ends to wrap up in the next book but if he continues at this pace he will be a god. The narration was great.

Great Story!

This book really surprised me at how good it was. I highly recommend this to any who love litrpg or high fantasy. I can't wait for the next book.

Power gone made

It was different then the fiction I usually read. At first I didn’t care level recounting. Later I looked forward to update on progress

Awesome!!!

This is the best book I’ve heard so far. An extremely enjoyable listen especially if you enjoy solo characters. Can’t wait for the next book.

Awesome

This was a great book I enjoyed listening to it and I hope you make more of it

Great story!

Great book I’m not one to make recommendations normally but this book is definitely worth reading. 5/5 easy can’t wait for the next one.

solid

a really good journey from start to finish. it hit hard and kept punching straight to 5 stars

So Well-Paced, Time Flew

I honestly was caught off guard at the end, not because the end was unsatisfying (far from it), but because I couldn't believe I'd already listened to the entire book already. The pacing was perfect, the power creep was well-accounted for, and the MC was consistent in his character, even while growing both emotionally and in power.

Honestly, as far as LitRPG titles go, this was by far one of the better examples of how to use the genre to a story's advantage rather than simply slapping the theme over the top of a ge Eric fantasy or Isekaid story.

Very well done. Really hoping the story continues in future books.

Great Surprise

I absolutely enjoyed this story. I've been jaded by time loop books, but this is an amazing story and very well put together.
