The Keepers of Limbo (The Range Book #1): LitRPG Series Kindle Edition

by Yuri Ulengov (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars 291 ratings
The next book of the series! Lords of the Ruins (The Range Book #2): LitRPG Series - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08P524CBH

Yesterday Altai was a war hero. Today he is a prisoner who chose exile to Rhapsody instead of death.

This planet, the Range, knows no mercy. Here, thousands of prisoners fight each other for a place under the strange, cold sun. Here, the leftover alien biomechanisms and out-of-control Terran war machines roam in the ruins, and human life is measured in virtual experience that can be exchanged for armor and implants.

Surviving in the Limbo slaughterhouse, upgrading to the tenth level and getting into the Green Zone is all any dead man can hope for. Except not everyone succeeds.

Altai will have to make a lot of effort just to take a breather, and remaining high in the audience’s favor is something worth striving for. After all, the Range, among other things, is the most popular reality show, one of the few where everything is real, and death...death only raises the ratings.

Review

★★★★☆ LitRPGPodcast - Overall, the story is pretty fast paced once the other players are introduced and the MC starts interacting with them. There's hardly a chapter without action or tension and the bad guys are appropriately terrible and its good to see them get beaten. The RPG stuff, while not deep or impactful on a physical level, was enough that power progression came through. A good read if you like action apocalypse type stories with a little hunger games-esq side motivations. Score: 7.7 out of 10

★★★★★ Shane - I loved this book. A little bit Military SciFi a little bit, LITRPG, a whole lot a bit Action. Well written. Definitely going to read any and all books written by this author.

★★★★★ TS - It was a fairly interesting story.

★★★★★ Kindle Customer - Nice change of pace from the fantasy, the si fi technology is believable if we keep going as we are. This really sums up what most people think will happen when companies enter space IE becoming more powerful then governments.

★★★★☆ Jared C. - Really enjoyed the story and the setting. From the first chapter, you immediately get into the action. Sure, there are some weird tense issues, but clearly was translated, and still made for an enjoyable read.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Yury Ulengov was born in 1986. Ever since he got a taste for reading at 4 years of age, it remained his favorite pastime which neither movies, nor TV series or even video games could surpass. When he was six, Yury laid his hands on his first science fiction novel, which was Deathworld by Harry Harrison and which decided his literary preferences and future vocation once and for all.

Unlike many authors of today whose road to publication lay through online literary portals, Yury’s manuscripts were immediately accepted for publication. His debut trilogy based on the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. video game was praised by the publisher as "one of the most memorable releases in the series’ entire history". As of today, Yury has won four major literary prizes and authored twelve novels and several short stories.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Action apocalypse with some game mechanics for progression
    Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2020
    Verified Purchase
    Definitely patterned off of survival action multiplayer games with some RPG elements. Early story is about scrounging for basics like food, clothing, shelter, and anything to defend yourself from other prisoners and survivors in a derelict world filled with destroyed building, trailers, and vehicles. Big emphasis on killing/defending self from other survivors and prisoners for XP to level and to gain resources.

    The beginning of the story was a little wordy with unneeded background information and quirky internal dialogue making some paragraphs pages long. But once other players, survivors and prisoners that are sent to the world, come into the picture and we get descriptions and dialogue, the story gets good. There's a good consistent tension from the survival premise and the constant expectation of being hunted adds to that. There’s also loads of action in the story.

    There's also a story thread with the planet's players being watched by subscribers and a Mega Corp building television plotlines by manipulating, bribing, and coercing gangs. This means viewers can donate coin to players they like, who can eventually spend it if they survive. It added a nice bit of variety to the influences that propel the action.

    The game mechanics were surprisingly simple and well described without being an info dump. They also lean more towards a Apocalypse survival shooter with levels. So levels don't confer stats or affect the player on a physical level. Instead, higher levels unlock features like the System store where viewer donated or quest earned coin could be spent on implants, weapons, armor, food, and other items to survive. Levels also gain a player access to other areas of the world. Also, killing higher level players means more XP and likely being able to scavenge better gear, which has its own description but no stats beyond durability and threat.

    Overall, the story is pretty fast paced once the other players are introduced and the MC starts interacting with them. There’s hardly a chapter without action or tension and the bad guys are appropriately terrible and its good to see them get beaten. The RPG stuff, while not deep or impactful on a physical level, was enough that power progression came through. A good read if you like action apocalypse type stories with a little hunger games-esq side motivations.

    It is one of the best science fiction action story I've read - and I read a lot. Action and fighting is well -combined with impressive picture of the setting, detailed picturing of monsters is just enough to make them believable and impressive without slowing down the action. I like the main hero and his team. They are good people, and believable. I like it when I sympathize with the characters when I read, otherwise even a good story becomes too mechanical.
    It is a well-balanced, action-full story of people you'll like that takes place in a very realistic and absolutely fantastic setting. I highly recommend it :)

    I enjoy situations that highlight the truth of human nature. Sure, deep down, most people want to do right by at least one person in their lives, but sometimes the path to do that requires the will and drive to get your hands dirty. Margot is definitely my favorite so far. Not much on hero types like Diss, and the grey characters make okay protagonists, but a chick that punishes will hour remorse or second guessing herself is just awesome.
