Dissonance
A New World. A Thousand Threats. Welcome to The Continent.
Felix's life on Earth had become a series of dead-end jobs, ruined relationships, and rotating apartments smaller than most postage stamps. By all accounts, even his own, he was a coward. Too afraid to move forward, to take risks. Yet when given the chance to choose between risking his life or walking away from a deadly encounter, he didn't hesitate.
Moments before his untimely demise, Felix was snatched from earth and thrust into a magical world known only as ‘The Continent’. Empowered by the ‘System’, he learns that he can strengthen himself through combat and dedication. To survive he'll have to push himself beyond his limits, or else fall to the monsters all around him.
Levels, stats, and magic. Death is the start of a terrible fate, but if he lives…no one knows what he will become.

Nicoli Gonnella
Nicoli Gonnella didn’t descend from a mountain clutching an ancient manuscript—but you might think so, given the depth and power behind his stories. With a background that mixes sharp wit, irreverent humor, and a lifelong fascination with fantasy worlds, Gonnella has carved out a space in the LitRPG and progression fantasy genres that feels entirely his own. His Unbound series, which launched in 2022 with Dissonance, has since grown into a sprawling, emotionally rich saga that continues to evolve with every new book.
Unbound
In a world where strength is currency and power is dictated by the mysterious System, Unbound isn’t just another LitRPG series—it’s a raw, character-driven plunge into what it truly means to grow. At its core is Felix, a man ripped from Earth and dropped into a realm where magic is measured and survival is anything but guaranteed. But while others chase levels and ranks, Felix breaks the rules—literally. He doesn't just evolve within the System… he defies it.
Unbound consists of eleven books and series is set to expand with the upcoming release of one more book. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
