About this listen

Stay out of the spotlight, grind, and survive...

Choosing a college when your family is struggling can be difficult, but it isn’t supposed to be world ending. And the falling meteor is seriously limiting Matt’s options.

Now in the aftermath, his home city is locked down by a mysterious dome, corporations are looking to monopolize a wealth of new untapped resources, and people are suddenly developing powers via a System that seems to have borderline sinister intentions.

In the chaos, Matt decides to stick to what he knows: use his stealth class to adapt and survive.

Listen as Matt is dragged into a LITRPG apocalypse set in the real world, where the price of failure is death, and the prize for winning is beyond his wildest dreams. Perfect if you enjoy stories with morally gray characters, high stakes, stealth mechanics, System integration, a smart protagonist with weak-to-strong progression, and more!

I am a great Fan of LitRPG, and this is a fresh start to a series that has a lot of potential. Cant wait for the second Novel. I really recommend it!

Excellent start, can hardly wait for the second

I was hesitant to buy this book but I'm so glad I did. The main character has had a rough life but he uses that to understand his opponents or other characters without being cynical. His actions and choices are reasoned out and there is no magical MacGuffin that appears out of nowhere. Like any well written book, all the cards have been shown and you can think alongside the character on how to get out of a situation. If you like litrpgs that don't have a brain dead protagonist and interesting progress in both strength and relationships then I recommend this book.

Some real character development.

I enjoyed this book for it’s originality. Sometimes the story was a bit convoluted but it had several interesting arcs. I’ll be checking the next one.

The story was interesting and written in a way you can tell it isn’t a copy and paste of other stories. Eagerly awaiting the next release.

Interesting and lots of original things in the genre

I'm 1.5 hours in. I've listened to lots of LitRPG, but I won't claim to have scaled the entire mountain (of mediocrity) to distinguish the innovative from the unfamiliar. Take what I say with a grain of sand.

I'll of course change my review if the story ends up disappointing me, but this is a good point to write something without me having to tackle potential spoilers.

This story's premises are entirely different from (almost) anything else I've read. That alone makes it worth trying out.

I've been wanting to write a review one hour in, but Audible wouldn't let me because it's ridiculous to review something this early. Especially if the review is positive.

If you've also listened to mountains of LitRPG and found the plots blending together into small variations of similar arcs, try this book. It's not better than the best. There are plenty of better LitRPG stories out there, but for the first 1.5 hours (up until he selected his first feat) this just hit me over and over with new ways of telling LitRPG. And when you get the titular feat, the direction of the story snaps into focus. I'm too giddy with excitement to continue listening, which never happened in countless thousands of hours of audiobooks.

Dysfunctional family? Check. Constellation of mental disabilities that AREN'T labelled? Check. Lack of patronising explanations of the obvious? Check. Logical approach to life? Check. An entirely different RPG class compared to everyone else's? Probably check. A promise of more variety? Yes, there's more than one way to be unique. An us-vs-the-world approach to legality? Check.

But you will have to put up with a guy with anxiety and empathy disorders. At least on the surface. We'll see how that progresses.

The narration isn't perfect (the siblings' voices were a bit too similar so their 'impromptu underage committee meeting' on how to handle Mom was harder to follow than it needed to be), but I still like it.

If this keeps up, I'll be very happy to have picked this book. Won't top my favourite fantasy stories (all of which are varying degrees of high fantasy or some postapocalyptic reinventions of the world), but this is shaping up to be urban fantasy at the lowest level.

Yes

This story manages to thread the needle between cool protagonist with a special power and a tense high steaks narrative.
Well paced and captivating, it’s one of the best litrpg stories available on this platform

Great suspense

This and a few other recent books within the litrpg genre seem to be creating a new subgenre that's received less attention 'til now, focusing on a modern urban system apocalypse with a much more realistic bent compared to other similarly focused but more fantastical stories. The story is quite serious and heavy but backs it up with quality writing that's obviously coming from a well read source. I recently read another urban litrpg that was more humorous, about dungeon diving into cubicle hell, published just shortly before this book. It made me think of this as a 'maybe emerging' subgenre - which I honestly hope it is because it's a very fresh take that isn't hobbled by clichés and dwarves with Scottish accents.

Heavy but sooo good
