Summary
It had been a number of years since Kurt had last played a video game. That all changed when his state wrestling bid was cut abruptly short. With nothing but time on his hands, Kurt relented to explore a VRMMO with his younger brother.
Having been transported to a world ruled by magic and the strength of a blade, Kurt now must call upon skills he has not used in years. As the lines between reality and the game begin to blur, Kurt must figure out just what is going on with Darklands Online.

Good story with an intriguing twist
This was a good story that no doubt leads to something bigger. The twist at the end will make the listener come back, helped by the cool approach from the two narrators, who do a great job. Also, the observations of behaviours of people in real life, such as Twitch streamers, were on point.

Very interesting take on the genre.
Disclaimer: I was provided a copy of this book free of charge in exchange for an honest review.
A very fresh take on combat compared to a lot of other Litrpgs was a nice change of pace.
Also, the characters, while not hugely fleshed out, felt like people rather than facsimilies as is often the case in this type of and the narration did a great job of fleshing out both the male and female characters. Equally the scenes were described very well but not overly so as often Litrpgs get stuck on the unnecessary appearance of every single item.
In all, a good book and a promising start to the series.

A fantastic start
definitely recommended to anyone interested in VR LitRPG stories, it was very engaging with the back forth between the MC and his younger brother bickerings which added a bit of humour to the story, especially that cliff at the end there. Onto to book 2 and should be listening to book 1

Excellent
First book of the authors I've read, was set at an excellent pace and throughly enjoyable, MC is very likeable and progresses at a great pace, the world is believable and well thought out along with the character progression for the MC and associates, a throughly enjoyable read/listen and will happily listen to it again
I was sent this as a review copy but all the thoughts are my own and has not impacted the review

Excellent! Can’t wait for the next one!
Most LiRPG’s start one of several ways: someone’s mother is sick and the character needs money; the main character dies and is reborn in the game. In this one the main character joins the game at the behest of his younger brother.
It starts off with the brother dictating the direction of the gameplay which is annoying to the MC and the reader. Fortunately he dies soon is reincarnated as a whisp - no effect on the game but a source of background information.
The main character decides to follow a quest that his brother thinks is worthless and it leads to .... Can’t say without spoilers.
The characters are good, the situations are interesting, the battles are enjoyable and the stats are there when you want them, not just a way to fill several pages.
The story takes several twists and turns and the ending is unexpected!
I thoroughly enjoyed it and I’m eagerly awaiting the next book!
