Not even gods are safe from the power of the fabled Doom-Forged weapon.

Grim Jack didn't set out to be the leader of Eldgard's united armies, but with dungeons falling one by one and hordes of Vogthar pouring into the material plane, it's up to him to save both citizens and travelers from digital destruction.

His doomsday weapon will take him straight into the heart of Morsheim, but once there, even the combined might of the Empire and the Crimson Alliance might not be enough. He'll have to uncover secrets buried for millennia just to get within striking distance of a death god gone mad, and the choices he'll make will change him and the world forever . . .

From James A. Hunter, the bestselling author of the Yancy Lazarus series, Rogue Dungeon, and Bibliomancer comes the seventh installment in the LitRPG epic, Viridian Gate Online!

These books aren't much different from the usual LitRPG. Overblown story/characters, excessive forgetfulness by the protagonist, and a struggle to make legitimate consequences in a world where death is temporary, are hallmarks of the genre. This is one of the better among them, however, I have a PSA to the authors of this genre.

QUIT LEAVING ME WITH CLIFFHANGERS IF YOURE GONNA TAKE YEARS TO RELEASE THE NEXT BOOK.

Thank you.

Fantastic chapter in the story. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time, begging for the next line. The performance of Armen Taylor seriously sells this story, every character that speaks is bursting at the seams with personality in their voice and actions.

Excellent! incredibly intense!

I found this series about 2-3 months ago and blew through up to this one while listening on some earbuds while working. I've read a bunch of Lit RPGs and this one this probably my favorite so far. There is so much character growth for everyone in this series and the continuity was on point. This book constantly grabs bits of info from the earlier books and brings them back to inform you on how things were set in motion so early on. It's a great book I just wish it didn't end on this cliffhanger.

Bingeworthy

I love how this series has direction and is guided by the plot. The game mechanics are great and now that the characters are higher level we get to cooler skills and items. The narrator really excels.

PS. One heck of a cliffhanger at the end of this oh this book.

Great addition to a great series

I don't like having to turn the volume down everything the narrators goes into announcer voice to say stats and announce messages and quest prompts, then when he goes back to regular dialog and narration I have to turn the volume up to hear it. very annoying. keep it all the same volume, I'm driving and can't be dealing with this.
Good book otherwise! I'm glad we finally get NON-battle scenes in between fights. His earlier books in this series were battle after battle, and the characters had no life otherwise, no romance scenes, or tender moments with friends, or heartfelt scenes remembering their families, etc. This book and the last one were better in that regard. Launching into the next book now...!

I wish the volume was more consistent

what can I say about this? James hunter writes awesome VGO. Every VGO story I have read or listened to has been amazing. I grew up on Weis & Hickman, dragon lance, ravenloft, forgotten realms, etc. as an adult VGO and LITRPG is the current generations answer to those stories. They have wonderful characters, plot elements, rpg classes, spells, artifacts, leveling. This story refines and expands more of the VGO world and it’s characters adding depth to an awesome realm with so many stories to be told. Listening/reading these as they come out is like watching a fantasy realm be created and brought to life piece by piece. Love it! I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator or publisher

Another awesome VGO LITRPG

Grim Jack and the gang are back at it, kicking darkling butt. Armando Taylor is masterful and a cliffhanger to boot!

Great Adult Fantasy Fun!
