Publisher's summary
Join Dirk and his genius Goose companion in their relentless pursuit of the perfect run.
Dirk was America’s golden boy. Olympic golds, Wheaties box—the works.
That was ten years ago. Turns out going to prison is terrible for sponsorships. Now, he’s alone, a felony on his record, and bitter at the world.
Enter the Tower of Conflict.
Just what a man needs to get out of a rut—the end of the world and a Tower to Climb. Aided by his talking goose animal companion, magical cape, and the Goddess of Fate herself, Dirk is primed to take this Tower by storm.
He was always more of a lone wolf, but when the competing alien races start smacking humanity around the Tower, he’ll be forced to lean on his teammates, unlock new magic, and broker reluctant alliances.
Because if he doesn’t, humanity is doomed....
Welcome to the Tower, Climbers. Try not to die on the first day!
Don't miss this hilarious new LitRPG Apocalypse featuring a sometimes loveable and oftern muderhobo-ey MC, a know-it-all goose companion, honking good humor, a detailed System, time-loop magic, and more. It's perfect for fans of Dungeon Crawler Carl, Towers of Heaven, and Tower Climber.

Story
After an accident, Laran wakes up in a strange fantasy world governed by a System, with his only knowledge coming from his fiery tutorial assistant, Toot, a faerie who is more snarky than helpful. Even worse, the Undying Empire is hunting him for reasons he doesn’t understand. That means hordes of undead soldiers, dark assassins lurking in every shadow, and worse. The good news is that apparently he is considered a Glory Seeker here, meaning he's able augment almost anything he does by using points of Glory, a resource earned through actions in the world—heroic or villainous.

Not even a C-team on the best of days. And worse? Urmahon Beta, the planet, is at the ass-end of nowhere. Everybody expects this to be a long, ugly, and thankless job. Then it all goes disastrously wrong. What they thought was an uninhabited backwater turns out to be anything but empty.

Story
Brian Fieldings just buried his dad and lost the only job he's ever had. Waking up in an unfamiliar, pitch-black room the next morning feels a lot like the rotten cherry on a particularly awful sundae. Especially given the inhuman howling coming from the other side of the door. He's only been conscious for a minute or so, but Brian already has questions. Where is he and how did he get here? What is making those terrible noises? And why does the room he's in have an altar?

Some dream of prosperity, of living a calm and peaceful life. But not me. Having reached the pinnacles of success, I can't stop thinking about the past, about a time when any misstep could spell disaster, when I had to pay, work, and risk everything for even the slightest gain and each day was like walking a knife's edge. That's all in the past now. This peaceful, predictable, and privileged life isn't so bad. But it's boring!

When Malachi Baker stumbles into an offer of apprenticeship from the esteemed and powerful Occultist Orykson, he's left in shock and jumps at the chance to learn... Even if it means taking out a few loans. Unfortunately, his new teacher sees him more as a tool than a student. He has set Malachi near-impossible goals before he becomes worthy of Orykson's full attention, and Malachi's innate power is only somewhat above average. Worse, it turns out that Orykson has enemies more powerful than Malachi had ever imagined—and now their attention has landed solidly on him.

well written, action and intelligent.
I don't know why there are bad reviews. it is not boring, it's got more than just action. Characters are three dimensional and become more fleshed out as the story progresses. the writing and narration are top notch, especially compared to much of the cookie cutter unoriginal stuff. it's well worth the read if you enjoy action AND good writing. I was worried in spots it might get preachy, but the author ended up just telling the story. We definitely need more of that, thank you.

Tons of Potential, just ok start
This is getting 5 stars for how good it could be... but it's a rough start. Somewhat unique setup to a tower climber, with a very cool MC power set - I really like the mini time loop aspect. Unfortunately this story had 1 big problem holding it back, and that's pacing. It's painfully slow, with maybe 1 day passing in the whole book. I get the time loop aspect will slow it down, but this stated to drag to the point of not making sense. There is almost no actual plot progress here, the whole book focuses on what others would have spent maybe the first few chapters on: the apocalypse setup, meeting the party, and entering the tower - that's the whole book. Spoilers...... it's stated that each floor could be a world unto itself and will take years to reach even floor 7; but only a few hours in floor 1, the races are about to open the path to floor 2. Author needs to cut down the time looping and let real time move or not dedicate multiple chapters to every reset, 7 time per day. Love everything else but if this pacing continues I won't make it through another book.

While Dunning is new to me, Thron certainly isn’t. And I was here for Thron, stayed for Dunning. Both do a wonderful job with Darling of Fate. And I’m a sucker for a good animal sidekick. Go goose!

This is prolly one of my favorite reads this year. Join Dirk as he gallivants around.
I absodamnlutely loved this book! I really didn't know anything about the book, other than I trusted Aethon the publisher and I've enjoyed Phil Thron in the past... And don't get confused by the cover, the red cape... Darling of Fate isn’t a story of supers, it's a well rounded action-driven litRPG adventure. And it's well worth the time it takes you to listen. So join Dirk and his goose companion, yeah you heard me I said goose companion, as they build a team and go gallivanting though the system.
