About this listen
They say only fools enter the tower…
Dive into the complete box set of the best-selling Tower Climber series with over 2,500 pages of epic LitRPG adventure.
All Max wants is to become a climber and search for his long lost sister.
But citizens aren’t allowed to climb, they aren’t even allowed remotely in the vicinity of the mysterious and magical tower. Plus, even if citizens could enter, it didn’t change the fact that Max’s body is paralyzed from the waist down, confined to a wheelchair. No way would anyone let him enter the tower. Ever.
Yet one night everything changes and Max’s world is thrown upside down. He suddenly gains an ultra rare ability and the chance to train and climb the tower.
But being a climber isn’t as easy as it sounds. Each floor of the tower contains vast worlds and deadly magical monsters.
While Max may want to ascend to the top of the tower, there are plenty of others who want to as well, many who won’t blink an eye at removing anyone who stands in their way…
Grab the best-selling complete series in this 5-book omnibus and join the action-packed Progression Fantasy adventure today!

liked about all books: I liked Max, and alot of the supporting cast, the narrator, the system mechanics and the supporting cast.
disliked about all books: the majority of villains seemed a tad generically evil. while I understand that it's good to characters who are evil for evils sake, they hammed it up abit too much.
book 1: I liked the limitations on Max's skill along with his friendship dynamic with sakura and Lacey.
I didn't like the fact that Max let his orphanage owner Mr. Grimes off with a threat and warning, when considering what his intent was, I would've either turned him in or dealt with him myself. also the fact his bully disappeared completely from the story after this when I was considering where they could go with it. Also Max unlocking his power seemed a tad contrived but hey.
book 2: it was the floor variety on this story that that was good on this. I also really enjoyed the ending of the twist reveal about Max's Sister and where her allegiances lie.
that being said, the new supporting character Violet was so inept near the ending that I almost quit, I'm thankful I didn't, but she then tried again later and finally succeeded in her goal of preventing a civil war on floor 10.
book 3: I liked the burgeoning journey between max, Kacey, Blake, Sarah who makes a return, and an old merchant/ex-traveller called Harold (the Master Roshi archetype, for good and bad) and the way their powers develop. Harold's skill was especially useful. I also liked how Max uses his mimic skill in unique ways to defeat his two opponents, and the reunification with his sister around the last third of the story.
Unfortunately the black ravens members were signposted so hard which ones were potentially going to be redeemed and which ones were irredeemable, that I knew which ones would probably switch sides, though I didn't know when, also the power scaling was a bit confusing here, as Elle (Max's sister) ends a big shot tower god, so it confused me about how much of a power boost something called break mode can offer.
book 4: I really liked the faction warfare in this story, on the floor with the affectionately named nightmare City. Max, Kacey and a new companion who has the soldier class journey to attempt to win an auction for a file that has clues on the weakness of Nicholas Adler, a villain who was revealed to be behind the death of max and Elle's parents. I like that the elders of floor 1 (4) were shown to be cunning.
there were additional plot points here too, a serial killer who was killing high ranking faction members, a frog who had an endless greed for money. a man who taught max about break modes as he mimiced his sisters at the end of book 3.
okay all the good things out of the way, I wasn't particularly a fan of the frogs backstory, unnecessary bloat just before he croaked his last. there was a revelation that two individuals were called experiments 1 and 2. i personally hope that there would be an army of numbered experiments unfortunately the only experiment left was experiment 3 the reveal of who experiment 1 was was a little sad.
also as much as Elle and max reuniting permanently was a feeling good moment, I feel they could've spoken to each other and max explained he wanted revenge against Adler too. but I guess the last third of the story would tlhappen then.
overall best book so far.
book 5: the final book, it was feel good through and through no struggle from anyone really, max and his core companions were rank S by now, so Max's skill was broken to a ridiculous degree. and in the end, it was a happy ending, go max and friends.
overalls it's a decent series, but I don't see much more story from this series focusing on max from here, the exception being the words the former "tower god king" told Adler before perishing.
decent story and series, maybe something new can come focusing on new characters now that Max's story came to a close.
the narrator hard carries to elevate a average story to a decent one.

The world build although a bit of a slow start gets there and the overall series is very enjoyable.
A bit more for the younger audience as there is a few questions I feel don't get explained and maybe even count as plot holes but aren't too major.
Narration by Campbell is quite good although maybe not his finest as it took me a while to get used to the voices so perhaps more me.
Overall a solid 4 maybe even almost a 4.5 is some ways and as a boxset then this is a worthy addition to your library.
