Book Review: Dungeon Exploiters

 

Eighteen-year-old Entin Soroy was supposed to be the cogging best fighter pilot of the Garentin space colony. But after an unthinkable terrorist attack forced the colony to digitize to survive, he finds himself thrust into a world repurposed from a rushed video Eternal Fantasy Online. This new reality might be beautiful. It might be full of endless wonder for its new immortal inhabitants. But the developers, in their haste, failed all those who lost their families and were too young to be given starting resources. Now, Entin is a market Runner, working for copper chyps delivering packages to earn what little he can for the orphanage. It’s grueling, thankless work. That is until a far more lucrative job finds its way to him, revealing a new path forward. But nothing is ever easy. 

There are risks involved with going into the Wilds, a place of monsters and dangerous mysteries. Is the loot worth it? What price will he have to pay to succeed where others have failed? Dungeon Runner is a GameLit trilogy with a dash of Cozy Fantasy, found family, and friends. It’s full of adventures, puzzles, and unusual paths to success. Watch Entin define the role of a Dungeon Runner and push the bounds of his reality in this new virtual fantasy world with endless possibilities.

My Review

This book is split up into six different sections. Each section alternates between Entin and Eizel, who is a Princess but who likes adventure and not afraid of taking some risk. Neither interact with each other but with the ending of this book, that appears that it will change as Eizel learns about Entin and his guild called Dungeon Runner.

As an adult, I actually enjoyed this book. I thought it read well and would appeal to younger and older readers. I have not read many books in the LitRPG genre, but I need to now after reading this book. I am a gamer and so I enjoyed this book. I could picture this book playing out in my head. 

The way that everyone talked, and the format of the story was as if I was in the game with Entin and Eizel. It was believable the situations and monsters that they encountered. I enjoyed this book a lot and need to read book two to see how the story plays out.
