Ethria: The Pioneer: An Epic LitRPG Adventure Kindle Edition

“Offered a choice by powers far greater than himself between returning home at great risk, or entering a world named Ethria where he might find another, supposedly safer, path home, Daniel “Rayid” Tear will enter Ethria. A world that operates similar to the video games Daniel has always enjoyed, Ethria is a place where power can be found in many forms, both light and dark, and whose true purpose is unknown even to most of its denizens. Taking the long way home, Daniel will make another choice, to help a group of persecuted people whose story mirrors that of his pioneer ancestors. But In a time when Gods are changing, the people of every race suffer, the foundations of nations shift, and change and danger are in the very air, what can one under-leveled, foreign wizard do? All the while at the roof of the world, at the base of the Sawtooth Mountains a darkness grows, a creature plots, and an ancient evil from the foundations of the world seeks to re-emerge onto Ethria.” If you would like updates on his writing, publication schedule, and connect with him through his other random social media accounts, then sign up for his once a month news letter at: https://mailchi.mp/ad8d314ebec6/a-r-holloway Thank you for reading :)

Hello everyone, my name is Aaron . I have loved writing since I was a little kid reading my first fantasy books by the likes of C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, Brandon Sanderson, and Terry Goodkind (Goodkind wrote the first novel I ever read, the Sword of Truth). These gifted me with a love of fantasy, science fiction, and storytelling. Grand vistas, dark lords, wonderous adventures, personal growth, and interesting cultures are just some of the things I personally love reading about in my own time.

Currently I am living in the shadows of mountainous rural Utah, where deep snow and brutal summers regularly coincide, I live with my family scribbling my words as furiously as I can, hoping people enjoy them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic World Building and Well Written!
Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2019
Verified Purchase
This is Mr. Holloway's first LitRPG novel and it is an epic one -- 193,000 words. I have read ALOT of LitRPG novels and I am certain this one is near the top in the "Word Building" category. He creates a deep fantasy world with alot of interesting characters and alot of lore. This can be a double-edged sword. There are alot of readers that may get bogged down in all of the world-building and lore and just want the story to move forward faster. I did find some sections a little long-winded but for the most part, I appreciated the amount of time and effort the author put into creating an epic fantasy world. I thought that the novel was well written. The author is definitely talented in the art of weaving an interesting story. This is definitely a LitRPG, the author gives you alot of stat sheets and notifications to give the novel alot of crunch. You get a good bang for your buck at the 3.99 price point for a 600-page novel. I look forward to book 2. Please support this author, this novel is well worth your time.

4.0 out of 5 stars Strong world building, strong character, weak grammar
Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2019
Verified Purchase
The author offers a nice take in world building working with the notion "what if Gods are all real and want agents" and putting it into a LitRPG setting. The MC gets yanked from our world with the Judeo Christian God's measured hand off to Gods of the new world.

The characters were interesting. The plot moved along. And the world was the star of the book.

But.

This book is a example of the fact that spell check is not Grammar check. I believe the author misused every hominem. Every. Single. One. Multiple times. The constant errors pulled me out of the story.

If the story and world and characters were any less well done, this would be a 3 or a 2 review.

5.0 out of 5 stars Immersive and incredibly well written
Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2020
Verified Purchase
I have been reading this one since it’s release (I know, I’m slow) but I’ve gotta say that the second half of this book only took me a couple days to finish (again, for a book of this size, that is impressive for me), it was that good.

The characters are well thought out and while the author may inject some of his beliefs into the story, they are handled respectfully and actually add to the story imo.

The stats are well thought out and do not overwhelm you and the fight scenes are action packed and fun to read.

I can’t wait to read more in this universe. Keep up the good work!

3.0 out of 5 stars Not bad, but needs heavy editing
Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2020
Verified Purchase
The story itself is fairly standard isekai fare, but the author has left room for character growth, a sensible progression system and an interesting setting. Nothing special, but plenty of potential.

Unfortunately, the spelling and grammar in this book leave a lot to be desired. The author clearly has a problem with homonyms; I lost count of the number of “where/were” and “too/to” mix-ups after the first ten (each), among numerous other typos and constant cruelty to the common comma. I will gladly revise my rating upwards if and when the author gets a professional editor to go through and fix the many, many mistakes.

Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2019

The book has interesting characters and the story held my interest. I found the usage of words off putting. The author needs to find a better editor. When faced with the choice of similar sounding words, which had different meaning the author chose the wrong one as example board for bored. With good editing the book would flow better.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ethria: The Pioneer
Reviewed in the United States on May 18, 2020
Verified Purchase
The Pioneer is a good story about the beginning of a conflict on the Fantasy world of Ethria. Two weakened gods summon a man from Earth to help save the last vestiges of their people. But what can one Earthling do when thrust into an unforgiving world of magic, skills, stats and exp? I enjoyed Aaron Holloway's writing style. There is a lot of world building and good humor. I'm looking forward to seeing where Rayid and his companions will take us next.

4.0 out of 5 stars Intriguing
Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2019
Verified Purchase
There is a lot to like about this book: the characters are deep and engaging, the plot is steady and the pace is fast and furious. The magic system is intricate but comprehensible. The evolving theology adds a nice background without being intrusive or preachy. The one place where it flags is with editing: homonyms (especially were/wear/where) become tedious and sentences without verbs are quite jarring. Despite this, the book is an excellent read and I await the sequel.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic isekai Litrpg
Reviewed in India on June 22, 2021
Verified Purchase
The plot points and storyline are classic isekai stuff in Litrpg. The adventures, world building, characters and plot points are enjoyable nonetheless. Good clean and fun read. The characters are fleshed out and Not much of the moral dilemmas and guilt trip moaning some authors are fond of using to increase word count. Looking forward to reading the next in the series.

Gamelit excepcional! Uma história bastante envolve, racional e curiosa. Não se engane, apesar do protagonista ser um mórmon a história não foi sobrecarregada de conteúdo, aliás só menciona a peregrinação deles. Bastante enriquecedor e o sistema é bastante inteligente. Recomendo fortemente!

4.0 out of 5 stars Decent read
Reviewed in Australia on March 17, 2020
Verified Purchase
Interesting story although I thought there was a lot of additional writing that seemed superfluous. I was quite irritated at incorrect word usage such as now instead of know. A higher level of such than I would have expected.

Having said that, this book was quite long for an independent author and I felt like I got a lot of story for my time invested. Will look for the sequel.

4.0 out of 5 stars Came into it thinking it was settlement building
Reviewed in Canada on October 2, 2019
Verified Purchase
As the title says, I came into it expecting a more settlement building novel. I didn't get anything like that, but it was an enjoyable read.

The book is filled with some cringeworthy typos and minor grammatical mistakes, but definitely readable.

Follow up read is still up in the air.
