Story
Climb the tower. Save the planet. Become a Dragon Rider. Inside the Dragon's Tower, the fate of the world hangs in the balance. To win, climbers from all corners must brave the harrowing floors one by one. Each floor is tougher and the higher the floor, the less success there is. After a hundred floors filled with unique challenges, a prize awaits - a dragon's egg. To Tem, the Dragon's Tower seems simple from his distant farmland on the frontier. The harsh truth of the situation involves politics, personal sacrifices, and unfathomable struggles to keep advancing.

After a bait and switch, Frank ends up transformed into an HI. That's a hybrid intelligence: part AI, part organic. He finds himself at the mercy of the system fulfilling the role of an ogre shaman meant to create fun opportunities for the purely organic players. Except not everything is what it seems to be. The very system may not be what he thinks it is. Breaches into the game world prove there are other forces at work. This game may be more of an isekai.

Portaled to a fantasy world and told to climb a tower, Randy and Clovis, two complete strangers, must join forces if they hope to survive. With each floor of the tower presenting a different obstacle, from quests to all-out sudden-death combat against other ascendants, Randy and Clovis are going to need to stay on their toes. The only problem is, Clovis doesn't have toes. He's a spellbook who barely knows how to use his own magic. And Randy has toes, but he's more interested in trying to get rich quick and game a system he doesn't understand. But they'll get there. Or die trying.

Carl was a regular construction foreman. Not the worst, not the best, and definitely not the thinnest. Even so, he didn't deserve that heart attack! He really didn't deserve being reborn into a dog-eat-dog world as a dragon. To be fair, it’s nice to be at the top of the food chain. Now Carl just needs to learn how magic works, which monsters are safe to eat, and why his hoard is so important to him. Dealing with change is hard enough, but he has enemy dragons incoming, hostile environments, and foes constantly trying to get bragging rights by taking down a dragon.

Oh yeah, the world is also full of monsters, and I'm the only human left. It turns out a godlike System evacuated humanity but decided to leave the vegetable in the bed. I could crawl into a corner and wait to get eaten by a kobold, but after years of being asleep, I have a new appreciation for feeling alive. I'll have to find the tenacity to survive, the courage to fight, and the strength to face some dark truths about myself.

Arrogant Masters? Heavenly Tribulations? All that violence and bloodshed? Yeah, no thanks. I’m getting out of here. Farm life sounds pretty great. Tilling a field by hand is fun when you’ve got the strength of ten men—though maybe I shouldn’t have fed those Spirit Herbs to my pet rooster.

Publisher's Summary
Surviving a plane crash wasn’t easy, but surviving the apocalypse will be nearly impossible. Nigel Fletcher finds himself stranded on a deserted island with nothing but his journal and the clothes on his back. Not only must he locate food, water, and shelter to survive, but Nigel will also have to combat wave after wave of savage monsters intent on ridding the world of humanity.
Clearing these waves grows progressively harder as each week brings additional monsters, new mutations, and behind them all, a living terror with an insatiable appetite for human flesh. To have even the slightest chance of surviving, Nigel will need to build up his island base to perfection with what limited resources he has available. Crafting weapons, taming beasts, erecting towers.... It will take an enormous amount of grit and determination to transform this deserted island into one of humanity’s last bastions of hope. Will it be enough?

god, I hate Journal POV
This book is actually pretty alright, as long as you can ignore the inherently unbelievable detail and timing this man puts in his journal.
The book being a journal written by one of the characters is basically the found footage of literature; a gimmick that's more trouble than it's worth for 9 out of 10 of the fiction that uses it.
There's even a point where the POV character meets another character, and not only are we expected to believe he can transcribe the things she says word for word, but we're also expected to believe that she gave us her backstory in such absurd detail, said in a way that no one would ever tell a story.
Any properly written book would just shift perspective and do a flashback. Instead, suspension of disbelief is irreparably damaged to maintain a gimmick. The author had to realize what was happening here. He could have easily shifted away from the journal at some point, even did some reworking to remove it entirely.
So, one star is removed for the poor POV choice, but I removed two for another reason. This book doesn't really have a point.
This book is about a guy turning an island into a fortress, and that's about it. Character is thrown to the wayside for progression. There are no moral dilemmas and no character progression, even when there really should be. It's fine, but basic.

Fun tower defense-centered book
The tower defense concept works really well. The constant attacks leads to a story centered around town building which is fun. The characters are interesting, too. I didn’t love the cliffhanger at the end though. The narration was done very well.

Cool defense style LITRPG
Pros: Overall, the book was well written. I enjoyed the writing style and the narration was excellent. I also loved the premise of the defense style LITRPG. It was just a very easy book to listen to and kept my interest.
Cons: only a few things I struggled with was that all the creatures were the same species with some mutations. I felt like it needed a bit more variety since the main character was already stuck on an island with not much else. Also, the game building was a bit slow, he only starts getting access to a shop and more of the classic LITRPG abilities very close to the end of the first book.
Overall: a good story and I think that it leaves a good foundation for the next book in the series.

Tower Defense, Base building, Gamelit. A fun read.
Give me the TLDR:
Book 1 of what will be a trilogy. A light read, tower defense gamelit book about an Aussie stuck on an island slowly and attacked by creatures from the deep.
Alright give me more:
Following a plane crash our protagonist finds himself on an island. Rather than the regular levelling system he finds he has a single power, "Befriend Animal" and capacity to purchase items from an ethermeral shop. Stuck on the island he spends his initial time trying to work out how to even gain the basic necessities, only for his foraging to be interrupted as dark clouds roll in and an announcement "Beginning Wave 1".
Why I liked it:
The book is written as the persons journal, as he details each day passing and how he begins to deal with the way his life is changing. This is a light book, in that it doesn't delve too much into the person deeply reflecting on the horror of his situation (though certain events do trigger some reflection), but he instead takes it in his stride. I find this style books really nice as a mix up, from the often more emotionally intensive books that are part of this genre. For audiobook fans this is doubled down, with the Aussie narrator giving a "No worries, mate" attitude to all but the most dire circumstance..
I find the tower defense angle also really entertaining. As part of his "welcome to the apocalypse pack" the progonist gains access the capability to clone items he makes by hand (for a price), as well as a slowly developing build menu. With more mechanics being slowly introduced as the story progresses. This leaves the character to have bouts of developing new tech (even if its a pointy stick) followed by times of working out what to spend his money, to aid his survival. I have a soft spot for base building and McGuiver like constructions and this story hits both.
I've never heard any other stories by the narrator, but he does a good job. His pacing is good, his accent adds to the character. Gaps between sentences are good and he does his job well.
What poked me the wrong way, but were not deal breakers:
I'd say I have two bug bears, oddly these slightly go against what I was talking about earlier.
The first is that, as the story is written as a journal, I feel that this could have been executed better, with me sometimes thinking "Would a person write this in their day to day journal (compared to a memoir)", "Why is he writing now?!" etc...
The second kind of goes against my statement of my enjoyment of it being light. I'm not sure if this was the writing or the narration but I felt like a couple times the story felt like it had a lighter tone, than the events being described should hold.
Disclaimer: I'm not a writer, just a reader and I'm fully aware its better than I could write ^_^.
Do I recommend this:
Absolutely, I blitzed through this story in a day or two, listening to it enough that I had to make sure I didn't start to do a dodgy Aussie accent when talking IRL, I really didn't want to put it down. I loved the tower defense and ingenuity of it. There are lots of developments that occur that really pulled me in and aspects of the world building that added to the draw. I enjoyed that merely living on the island was actually a challenge in and of itself. I highly recommend this for anyone who likes base building, TD games or is just looking for something different.

Thoroughly enjoyed this title
I got a free code for this book from the author, but I will most definitely be watching out for and paying for the sequel!
Cody Whitfill does an excellent job of bringing the concept of the tower defence game into the GameLit arena, with humour, a lead character that I came to like within minutes, a varied side cast of supporting characters, an enjoyable plot, and very good pacing.
At the same time, I found that Sam Arenson's narration drew me into the story, very much making Nigel, the lead, come to life for me.
If you're enjoy gamelit, and have ever liked a tower defence game, then I'd definitely recommend that you try this one out.
