Had this one for years but forgot about it

This book felt a bit off at the beginning for me. I found it hard to get in to but as it progressed, it has become a decent listen.

Jeff is an awesome narrator and defiantly increased the quality of this book with a flawless performance. I've got so much stuff from SBT. So I got to at least give it a blast.

I'm going to try book 2 now and see how that goes

Loved this book

Reading some of the other reviews I almost decided to skip this one. However, it had been recommended so thought I could give it a go and swap it if rubbish. I loved it. It has a good pace and is fun ride. I already have book 2/3. So give this a go and happy listening

First LitRPG listen

When you like a narrator you do tend to find books and genre's you've never listened to before, so this was a first for me. I did used to game a lot when I was younger but I'm a bit out of touch now.

The story had a great sense of humour from the get go. Our two Mc's are transported to another world and meet the God - Dolos. Who through his intentions brings out the sarcastic unbelievability of our human nature. He doesn't appear much, but he has a good role. There were some POV shifts that didn't gel with me at first, but once I got used to it, it was much easier to follow, it could well be that this is an audiobook and not me reading it where the confusion lies...

I hadn't known what to expect from the plot, and I hoped that it would entertain, yes it did. There were some really great points and then some low ones. I did find that although the Mc's were almost 30 and older, that their mindsets were that of much younger guys, for me in their 20's either that or their teenage male hormones just kick in at stupid times and especially around the women of the planet. I would like to think guys a little more mature didn't act like these two in some situations. Their reactions in most situations are quite normal, even if they're accepting to their new situation a little too easy, but as explained theres reasons for that.

In relation to the two 'ladies' they come across, I think that both of them ending up in a relationship with the two Mc's is a little too good to be true and feels a little more like hero worship and entrapment of some kind, at least to me.

Of course, I can't fault the performance, Jeff really brings the best to the table and he's always going to make something amazing. As an audiobook I listened til just before Chapter 15 before I the writing actually pulled me out the story. As I'm new to the genre, I'm not 100% sure on how switching POV's so late in the story is acceptable, but I guess it is.

Marine's pov here didn't do anything for me, and I have to be honest. As a script writer and juggler of multiple POV's they're important for me to be early on in a story. I can only think that and the same goes for the other POV's that sneak in now and then.

There were two pretty important big battles in here, and the most important for me is the fight against Thod obviously, and this is a really great scene. Almost wanted the book to end soon after, I honestly am not sure that the dungeon scene later measures up to it.

Overall, I had some fun, laughed and routed for the Mc's in their quest. I know I'm not quite the target market, and that shows in the way I perceived some of the plot points. I do think this is a good book and that people of all generations and those who love both Fantasy, Scifi and this newer genre will enjoy.

I look forward to more from Jeff and Blaise. Thanks for the entertainment. :)

Great start to a new series

Liked the book overall. Though not as good as his other book secrets of the old ones. Felt like some of the paragraphs got repeated whilst listening to it. Story is good but doesn't feel like it's anything different than other books on the market. narrator did a great job.

A lot of fun

This is a fast-paced, entertaining read. You're taken straight into the RPG world from the beginning There are some really interesting rules to the world that have real consequences in the story. I particularly enjoyed the interaction between the two central characters. Looking forward to book two.

Just bad

The two main characters have no redeeming quailities. I was hoping for at least one of them to die early on.

classic bad author falling back on sex

Is there anything you would change about this book?

like all the romantic encounters is he 12 years old it comes across like a tween fantasizing.

If you’ve listened to books by Blaise Corvin before, how does this one compare?

nope, and I probably won't again

Which character – as performed by Jeff Hays – was your favourite?

Jason

Was Delvers LLC worth the listening time?

yeah maybe, probably if you're after a fantasy to fill time if you have run out of better books like "name of the wind".

Any additional comments?

its cringe but has some redeeming fighting scenes and ideas.
