Towerbound is the Progression Fantasy LitRPG readers can’t stop binging.
They left him for dead.
Now he’s back—and he’s bringing the Tower down.
Ren Varrow was never the hero type. A quiet alchemist with a talent for potions, he kept his head low while others chased glory. But when a top guild lured him into a lethal dungeon and stabbed him in the back, his story should’ve ended.
Instead, it rewound.
Thrown back to Day One—before the Tower rose, before the betrayals—Ren knows what’s coming: secret quests, hidden mechanics, and a ticking clock that ends with Earth’s destruction.
Armed with future knowledge and forgotten skills, he’s ready to rewrite everything.
From building a guild out of nobodies…
To crafting mythic-grade potions…
To surviving a hundred deadly floors and the guilds hunting him…
Ren is done playing nice.
The Tower’s coming—and this time, he climbs first.
Expect:
• Time-travel knowledge
• Cowardly but overpowered MC
• Alchemy, dungeoncraft, and guild wars
• Swearing and strategy
• Dystopian Earth meets leveling system

©2024 Samson chui (P)2025 Samson chuiWhat I didn’t like: the main character although most of the time is quite good he constantly goes on and on about how cowardly he is. The world hasn’t had much thought put in to it, with different zones very unoriginal with no other countries. The VR world they start in a town but everything seems to be based around that town even though the author specifically states that the MC chooses this town because there are no big guilds starting there yet they all seem to turn up. The currency system isn’t thought out very well, and the world announcements seem to be only things that happen in this out of the way town. Also there is a lot of repetition when listening. This may be because it was originally from Royal Road so if you were reading it every few days it may have made sense in that context. Unfortunately it is annoying in an audio format.
But it is still worth a listen, I just hope the next book improves.
