Publisher's Summary

"A hilarious, balls-to-the-wall, heavy-metal stake fest!"—Matt Dinniman, author of Dungeon Crawler Carl

Engage full-on warrior mode and unleash your inner hero to become the ultimate survivor!

When he accidentally opens a medieval chest that looks like it just fell off the set of Game Of Thrones, Brad Wright is thrust into the wildest adventure of his life.

Welcome to Darkworld, a savage survival game where Brad and his sassy Chihuahua, Slash, think they’ve got it all figured out. Brad’s a strategy gamer, after all. Build a shelter, grow crops, forge weapons, and form alliances to escape this nightmare.

Do that and they’ll find their way out of the game in one piece.

But Darkworld’s creators have a twisted purpose. Game guides are less reliable than a rusty sword. An AI is hell-bent on breaking players. There are trolls, goblins, vampires, and worse, off-key bards. Even if Brad gets past them, he has the butchers to contend with. Sadistic people who paid to carve up players like Thanksgiving turkeys.

Brad can’t fail. Dying in the game doesn’t just mean GAME OVER. Fail, and it’s like being flushed down the metaverse’s toilet. Poof! Vanished like a glitchy NPC. What’s worse than being dead? Being erased like you never existed at all.

The rules are brutal. The stakes are high. Success is nearly impossible. Victory means more than loot and leveling up.

The ultimate game of survival will be won in a loincloth in this action-packed LitRPG Adventure perfect for fans of Dungeon Crawler Carl and This Trilogy is Broken! When you start a game with nothing but a loincloth, a dog who cusses like a sailor, and only your wits, there’s only one way to go.

its not DCC

What is more boring than playing an open world survival RPG? LISTENING to someone play an open world survival RPG.

Unlike the protag this clearly attempts to rip off, complete with bare feet and a talking pet, Brad is in no way upset at being kidnapped and forced to play a shitty game where he could die (sorry, removed from the metaverse because I guess death isnt scary enough). But despite those stakes, there really doesn't feel like there are any because Brad seems to like being there and rarely questions how, why or who. He just accepts that somehow a game developer he thinks is just some tech startup in LA I guess can teleport him into an entirely fabricated world. Not examined. Just accepted as fact that a person living in what is basically our world can have these very strange things happen to them and he doesn't think its weird at all.

I don't know man, if you like milquetoast litRPGs where a guy just goes through all the motions of playing a game then maybe this is for you. If you like dick jokes that get repeated constantly then this is for you. If you genuinely enjoyed something like Dungeon Crawler Carl then this is definitely NOT for you.
