About this listen

I wanted to be an adventurer. I ended up the pack mule for a psychopathic hammer.

My name is Ash. I’m a scavenger, a blacksmith’s apprentice, and, according to the voice in my head, a "calcium-based biped with poor taste in pillows."

All I wanted was to clear my family’s debt and secure a future in Dawnwatch, the frontier town guarding the rift. Maybe even become an adventurer. But when a dungeon run went wrong, I didn’t just find loot. I found the motherload. A Soul Gem worth a kingdom.

Instead of doing the smart thing and selling the gem, I forged it into a powerful Soul Weapon, one which could make me into something far greater than I’d ever thought possible.

Only, I ended up with Roq. A modified smith’s hammer. He can crush armor, heal my wounds, and hit harder than a runaway horse. In some ways he is the ultimate weapon.

But he’s also a complete diva who demands blood sacrifices, screams about his magnificence, and refuses to sleep on anything less than satin.

Now, I have to find a way to slay enough monsters to keep him fed and become strong enough to protect those I care about.

All while arguing with a tool that thinks he’s the main character.

“Excuse you? 'Thinks' he is the main character? I AM THE MAIN CHARACTER! You are merely a transportation system! Listen to me, flesh-sacks. Buy this book. Experience my glory through your eye-balls or ear-holes. Witness the destruction of the Titanfang! And if you don't leave a 5-star review, I will find out where you live and I will... wait, Ash, don't you dare close the descript—"

...Ignore him. Just buy the book. Please. I need money for more satin pillows and pie.

Enjoyed the characters and the storytelling. Loved the atmosphere and buildup of suspense. Cannot wait to see where this will go.

Great fantasy

Riftside is an absolute masterpiece of epic narration, seamlessly blending high-stakes battles, insane story arcs, and some of the most satisfying levelling and crafting progression I’ve ever read/listen to. From the very first chapter, the pacing grabs you, and it never lets go. The world-building is rich, layered, and constantly evolving with every choice and confrontation.

What really sets Riftside apart is the balance between action and humor. The battles are cinematic, brutal, and wildly creative, yet the narration is infused with a brilliantly funny edge that keeps you grinning even in the tensest moments.

This isn’t just another LitRPG, it’s a genre-defining ride that delivers heart-pounding action, clever writing, and laugh-out-loud moments in equal measure. Absolutely pumped for book 2.

Outstanding!

Riftside is a great set up for what I hope to be a long running and enjoyable series. the right amount of action, humour and drama with a steady pacing and an interesting power and leveling system.

the author does a great job setting up the world and characters, putting together future plot points as well as the steady build of what seems to be the overarching plot of the series.

JTJ and SBT do a fabulous job bringing the characters of riftside to life. working with the writing to make you love and hate characters as intented. I thoroughly look forward to more and if you listen to this audiobook... for the love of gems listen through to the very end!

A GLORIOUS MASTERPIECE
