About this listen

Jack Kross only wanted to play the game. Now he’s fighting for his life.

When a mysterious hacker takes control of Hundred Kingdoms, Jack is trapped inside the fantasy VR world along with millions of other players. But Jack is in a worse predicament. He’s cornered in the very tower the terrorists have taken as their base; the only free player left within its walls. Even worse, in the real world, his body lies in a sweltering room with no hope of relief.

Playing the profession-based Scavenger class, and at a low level, Jack’s prospects of fighting his way out are next to impossible. Crafting gear, traps, and weapons, allying with a deadly dungeon master and an AI he can’t fully trust, Jack is in a race against time to save not just himself but the millions of players held hostage.

Battle Spire is a meeting of World of Warcraft and Die Hard, using crunchy LitRPG mechanics with a heavy focus on crafting. Listeners can expect to find in depth item and spell descriptions, along with stat tables and profession recipes.

Note: strong language is used throughout.

Well what I can say about the narration it was bloody brilliant I can't praise there talents and skills of Jeff Hays, Annie Ellicott and Thomas James
Who's narration makes the characters and world come alive with the narration.

Overall it's a well narrated and interesting story that while slow to start I found myself enjoying. If I had one complaint however it would be the MC. Who for most of the story tended to come off as either a jerk or a cowardly jerk that obsesses over making money from the game well past the point of common sense. Despite being in a literal life and death situation. It's not till much later that he starts to change and become a semi-decent person. So if you don't mind that then i would recommend giving it a listen if you have a spare credit lying around.

I find the main character to be so stupid, he is incompetent and rejects people who help him, he's constantly wants to prove too his parents to let him be a professional gamer. he has a terrible personality and isn't straight forward at all (like the author is trying to draw it out) when there is obviously something to gain and is just a usually stupid incompetent jerk. Although the reading is done very well.
