The next book of the series! Overlord of the Dungeon (In the System Book 4): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09J1CWCRH

Everything is going according to plan. Ivan Susanin has successfully installed a beacon in the undead territory, and returned home.

The situation changes when the next mission to the city of goblins is delayed, while his home planet becomes the battleground. Monsters invade Earth, and Ivan must become one of the leaders and unite the players under his banner, albeit within the borders of his own country. If circumstances demand that he discloses his identity and cooperates with the authorities, so be it! Modern weapons and equipment, instructors, financing, and protection by law…

Stupid to decline all this due to baseless concerns. The most important thing is to remember why he started all this in the first place, and ensure that he can survive what’s coming.

★★★★★ Kindle Customer - Always a fun story. Its not all rainbows and sunshine too, plus an interesting world make. Looking forward to the next one.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Although an avid reader from an early age, Petr had never tried to write a book himself until he began his IT studies. His first book received a warm welcome from his online readership and Petr even got a letter from a traditional publisher showing interest in his book. But when Petr accepted their proposal, he didn’t receive a reply. He never heard from them again.

A few years later, already an IT professional, Petr wrote another book and sent the manuscript out to publishers. This time, it was rejected. In those days, writers were only considered “proper authors” if they worked with traditional publishers; all others were branded as amateurs.

For the next five years, Petr didn’t write much but did a lot of reading instead. That’s why the arrival of the new genre of LitRPG, followed by RealRPG, immediately piqued his interest. A few more years down the road, and Petr realized it was probably the right moment to get back into writing. If it didn’t work now, then he’d call it a day.

By then, the world had seen the arrival of online writing portals which allowed authors to sell their books directly to their readers, bypassing traditional publishing houses. Petr quit his day job and started a new book. This time it was RealRPG. Readers immediately noticed his City of Goblins, leaving thousands of comments and positive rankings. The following installments consolidated his success, securing the new series’ place among the leaders of the new genre.

They say that three is a charm – it certainly was for Petr, who can now pursue his passion for writing full time. And now you too have a unique opportunity to read his books in many languages.

A less awful hero

Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2022

Verified Purchase

I have enjoyed this series, usually despite the hero. In this instalment the MC acts like a far better person, and actually seems to care about those not himself. A refreshing change from the sociopath of the earlier books.
Anywho, the world is under siege from system powers with Vasili and company rushing from location to location in an attempt to save the innocent from the monsters ( sage whisper: they fail a lot), and to level up (more success with that).
This series should be a favorite of readers who like their litRPG dark, and their heros, anti. Tom out

Good book, did a good job integrating with our world

Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2021

Another good book to the series, good action and I like how the author integrates with real world.

I figure this world has an alternate timeline since Bill Clinton is president for 30 years. Makes it seem like Russia has the democracy and United States type of dictatorship.

Long Series

Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2021

Verified Purchase

This series is in its infancy stages I hope that the author will take his time and not rush. I can see at least 10 books at this pace. I’m glad that we aren’t dealing with an over powered MC. His survivabililty is decent and his growth will eventually be qualitative.

Funny the mention of a certain 2 term us President in his 30th year in office.

Very realistic on how government bureaucracy would deal with system players.

Protagonist is making steady advancement but it is very slow and often seems to give up the opportunity to level when it's available
