Striking Hard with RPG-like The Battle Begins

One of the new type of LitRPG books with a story based on a role-playing game world, The Battle Begins, the first book in the Bushido Online series, provides a surprisingly engaging tale about a blind fighter struggling to recapture his life after an injury.
BATTLETECH Lumbers To The Battlefield
