LEVEL UP
What if real life had a game interface — and you could grind your stats like an RPG?
Phil’s stats are pitiful. Time to grind real life.
Phil is thirty, unemployed, and his wife has just walked out. The same day, a mysterious wetware interface boots up in his head — showing him his real-life attributes. Strength, Stamina, Intellect, Charisma: all deep in the red.
But here’s the thing about stats: they can be leveled. Workout by workout, book by book, choice by choice, Phil starts grinding his own life the way he used to grind MMO raids — and discovers the interface has plans of its own.
The novel that started the RealRPG wave: no virtual worlds, no respawns — the game is your life. It took Russia by storm in 2017 and spawned a genre. Includes the spin-off duology The Knockout.
“A LitRPG about everyday life. Doesn’t sound exciting… but it was. I couldn’t stop reading it — finished in one sitting!”
“Highly recommended to any LitRPG fan. It’s a must-read — a different take on the ‘real life turns into RPG’ story.”
“Enjoyment: 30/30. Overall: 80/100.”
