About this listen
A Livestreamed Dungeon Crawl LitRPG
What would you do if your entire life was suddenly changed at the drop of a hat?
The entire population of the world that you were born into suddenly transported to another planet, along with the rest of the intelligent inhabitants of the Milky Way Galaxy.
A strange System talking to you about abilities and levels without a care for your opinions.
Thousands of monster spawning dungeons placed around the new world without a care for the new inhabitants.
And if those weren't bad enough, a forced invitation for one thousand random individuals to compete in a livestreamed competition within a dungeon with the rank of Administrator as the prize.
You don’t know?
Well, it’s actually pretty simple.
You survive.
Our story follows Wolf Adler as he, along with every other human on Earth, are faced with a strange blue box filling up their vision, warning them about an upcoming reappropriation of every being of sufficient intelligence to a new planet for the initialization of some sort of System.
Will he perish in this new world? Or will he thrive?
About the series: Join Wolf as he is forced to join a livestreamed dungeon crawl against his will just days after the entire world was told of their initialization into a universal System. As he fights his way up the floors of the dungeon, gains powers over the ice element, and survives. All while being watched by the entire universe and slowly learning of the origins of the Administrator Dungeon and the System itself.

The Storyline and Character Building
(There are no direct spoilers in my review but if you would like to have no idea about this book prior to reading you may wish to give this a miss :), it has light mentions of the different tropes that happen in this LitRPG book without mentioning any actual events or referencing this book.)
——————————————
This was a great book!
It has many different perspectives and different interpretations based off of a lot of popular tropes in both literature and media. A whole new world! A system! An integration of that system with the hero growing and a potential anti hero on the rise. The author takes these concepts and adds his own twists allowing it to add character and depth to the book.
This book also has some more unique ideas and implementations, adding a refreshing and often exciting twist to the story.
A whole galaxy gets integrated? Why not?
A unique type of dungeon? Sure!
A different perspective on ability evolution? 100%!
A struggle for life in death in a situation that, statistically would lead to failure? Lets beat the odds!
(And that last one is a common trope but the author does it in a partly unique, partly familiar fashion. Allowing for a separation from the other books that do this while keeping enough of a connection to associate it with the trope.)
These tropes are in existence already but the author interprets each of these, plus more, in their own way. Allowing for an engaging story that has a different “soul” than the other books that use these same ideas.

If you would like an enjoyable, captivating book filled with risk, discovery, character development and rewards; that you can listen to while resting, playing, working, or multitasking, this book will likely be a good pick for you.
And it’s relatively easy to keep track of in terms of how much is going on and what is happening. (If you want to just sit with the book, its a good option for that too!)
I personally hope the author will release more of this series onto audible soon! Its been a refreshing change of pace and left me wanting more :).
