Underworld: Level Up or Die
2017 · Apollos Thorne · 350 pages · LitRPG
Underworld: Level Up or Die delivers a satisfying power-up fantasy with a creative magic system and an underground setting that keeps the stakes high. The progression scratches every min-maxer's itch, though the main character's rapid climb to overpowered territory takes some of the tension out of the later chapters. LitRPG readers who prioritize leveling and build optimization over deep character work will find plenty to enjoy here.
