About this listen

Ash Aldrich thought life couldn’t get any more dangerous than scavenging monsters to keep his family’s forge alive—until he bonded with a bloodthirsty soul weapon that just wouldn’t shut up.

Decades after the rifts appeared, the humans of Noros have finally managed to fight the monster incursions to a standstill, building protective settlements around each new rift. Beyond the rifts lies Riftside, a world filled with monsters, valuable resources, and the rare gems used to turn humans into classed adventurers.

Ash has given years of his life to being a scavenger, fighting monsters and hauling their carcasses, and supporting those stronger than him, all while saving up mind gems that would one day make him a classed adventurer. But the world doesn’t wait, and neither do the monsters.

The rifts have begun changing and evolving, just like the monsters on the other side, and the fragile balance between survival and annihilation has never been closer to shattering. Armed with a murderous, self-destructive soul hammer, Ash will finally join the fight along his newfound friends and fight to call a piece of this new world his.
It’s time to make the monsters fear humanity.

If you like Ultimate Level 1, Primal Hunter, or He Who Fights with Monsters, then you’ll love Riftside.

No mercy. No second chances. Just strength, steel, and survival.
Head Riftside today.

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

a great first book in what I hope will be a CV long series.
the narration from the soundbooth team have once again knocked it out of the park with their multi narrator offering.
The story is great, not start heavy and full of intrigue. can't wait to see what comes next

quality book from Soundbooth

I grab this because of Soundbooth theatre and do not regret it.

The Voice cast (special shout shoutout to Justin Thomas James for the amazing cookie monster Hammer Rok), The world building was amazing and a standout for the LITRPG series.

Just the slight changes made with the levelling and world with rifts just made it stand out more.

Soundbooth knocked it out of the park with production and the authors' did a great job with the writing and chancters.

What if cookie Moster was a Hammer
