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

Don’t expect:

• Harem

• Romance arcs

Reader Reactions:

“All the good vibes from my days playing World of Warcraft. Fun. Funny. Satisfying.”

“Finally a redo story that keeps it simple, believable. Repeatable.”

“This story delivers what it promises.”

Nice wee time travel, memory keeping lit rpg. speed the narration to 1.2 as its weirdly slow. story was fun underdog revenge. its not groundbreaking but good fun read for those who like to listen whilst working or doing something else. Defo worth a cred for those who like light reading.

good fun light reading

I'm not sure where to even start. This reads like a very poorly written outline to a story rather than a story. I'm on chapter 7 and I am suffering. I am also about to return this title.

The game suddenly becoming reality and the impending apocalypse? Yeah aight, no biggie. Time travel? Yeah aight no biggie guess we're doing that now.

Yeah aight no biggie can summarize how this book feels. Massive, insane things happen and it's just...okay guess that happened in the characters mind. No biggie.

Is it well written? Is it coherent? No. 100% amateur writing with zero editing (Dear author, if you have paid for an editor, feel free to use this review for your refund request which you should absolutely make). Characters are inconsistent, incoherent, the grammar is poor and story elements make no cogent sense.

This book shows the downside of self publishing. Once more, I have suffered so that you do not have to. Please don't make my sacrifice be in vain.

Don't waste your time (seriously)
