Über diesen Titel
Waking up as one's video game avatar is no walk in the park—in fact, it's a harrowing tower climb—in this witty isekai for fans of geeky, badass women.
When Aesca Lampi wakes up in the form of her character from Eldest Fantasy Wars Online, she's annoyed by the historical inaccuracies. (Video-game-style scrolls? Really?) That is, until a building collapses on top of her, revealing she's on a fantastical island centered around the impossibly tall, glowing Tower of Aetherius . . . with an array of dangerous creatures—including jaguar hybrids, velociraptors, and giant, flesh-eating lizards—in the way. (Oh, joy.)
OK, so she's dead. Now what? In order to become a true Aetherian, Aesca is challenged by the god Aetherius himself to make her way through all one hundred levels of the tower and free the world from the tyranny of Oizys, Goddess of Misery. Aesca's mission seems relatively simple: solve the puzzles, forge alliances, regenerate when killed, move on. But soon she's involving herself in elf-human border negotiations and running from black vipers.
As the climb gets ever more harrowing and a host of deities begins to interfere, Aesca will need all her strength, cleverness, and wit—plus her trusty dragon-cat, Arkaziel—to ascend the levels and fight Oizys before it's too late. And she doesn't even have a help menu to assist her . . .
The first volume of the hit progression-fantasy series—with more than 750,000 views on Royal Road—now available on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and Audible!

What kept me from really liking the actually interesting characters is the tower principle.
The protagonist practically runs from floor to floor without having a bigger scope to anchor the story.
No bigger goal that is in the background no actual antagonist. Just floors that feel short, unfinished, random and ultimately with few exceptions here and there meaningless.
Stars of the story are the interludes. Lots of missed potential.
What bugged me most is this abrupt randomness and unfinished stories on the floors themselves.
If you feel you missed something because you didn’t pay attention for 1-2 minutes. Don’t worry the protagonist just went from floor 23 to 24 because, why not? Baddy dead let’s move on.
Some of the floors actually do have potential for good stories but are simply way too short.
What I really miss is a bigger background story that looms in the back sometimes introduces some trouble and reminds the listener, but mainly the protagonist, why are you climbing? Just floor the numbers?
The story told about this bigger background story and sometimes mentions it, but then again, there is no influence nor consequence. Missed potential.
TL/DR;
Interesting and unique characters, interesting storyline.
Missed potential as the story sometimes feels like a series of 10minute adventures, unfinished and superficial adventures.
It’s the interludes that save a lot.
Still, I will continue with volume 2, let’s see, maybe the story starts a more consistent pace.
Interesting but a little dull

It wasn’t boring, just not exactly my cup of ambrosia.
VA did a good job thought.

Nice rush out of danger.
Fighting monsters.
Finding neat stuff.
Being a general loot goblin.
Then it devolved into mostly lesbian escapades and timeskips for learning stuff.
Plus all fights instantly got super easy. Cause why not.
Dropped it after like 5 hours or so.
xD
If ya into extremly fast OPness with little to no character building.
Go for it. The voice actress makes this enjoyable atleast.
Got a good variety of voices and is generally nice to listen to.
Good Start. Bad execution.
