About this listen

What would you give to be a dragon rider?

Before being conscripted to fight in the Total War, Private Hector Park had a shattered family, a collection of old video games, and a promising career as a motorcycle stuntman. Now, he is dying from a virus threatening humankind with extinction. He has three days to live.

When Hector’s brother contacts him after years of hostile silence, Hector goes to try and make peace. But his brother has an offer even more unbelievable than reconciliation: the chance to cheat death by joining him in Archemi, a full-immersion fantasy VR-RPG video game.

Determined to forge a life worth living, Hector undergoes the experimental upload process and chooses the difficult path of the Dragon Knight. To achieve his dream, he must prove himself worthy of imprinting a dragon, a being with whom he will share a telepathic bond more intimate than any human relationship.

But at what cost?

Join Hector on his first steps toward mastering the skies in Dragon Seed, the first audiobook in the Archemi Online LitRPG series!

Absolutely loved it

Idk how many times I'll have to say this. Soundbooth Theater brings life into books. I probably would never have read this book, only bought it for the performance they present.

An Enjoyable start

This has Dragons so thats 1 star straight away , however the problem with having Dragons is people expect amazing bonds.
I think this ends at the wrong bit as we don't get enough time with the experience ,but the premise is there.
So due to this and the SBT narration skills im giving this a bit extra due to what I forsee and there is 3 audios done with a fourth on the way. I expect this to improve as the main characters are good and i like how they have portrayed Hector as a good guy with Dyslexia and he has something to prove.

Exactly what you want

This was great. Hinestly, I thought it would be good but it was better. The story has all of the LitRPG fantasy that you'd want but with depth and twists that keep it addictive.

The performances are excellent, they are of the quality in which you don't really appreciate how good they are because you're absorbed - but that's exactly the point. Clear, varied and believable.

Right, onto book two!

Rock Solid Listen!

This book got a rare 5 stars across the board. Does that mean it's better than some I gave only 4 stars? No, but I can't find a thing wrong with it. Story unfolded quickly with a rich world and solid characters. Narration was excellent as is typical of SBT. You won't go wrong giving this a listen.

Really, really good

This is probably the best audio book I have listened to in terms of the narration. I can’t describe how superb it was - granted that I enjoyed it more at 0.75x normal speed, but I have started doing that with most audio books now (I read somewhere that the human brain processes words more easily when they are spoken at around 130 words per minute, and most modern speakers and readers clock in at around 180).
It isn’t that this narration is particularly fast, and most wouldn’t even notice, so don’t be put off - I have just started slowing everything down, especially if I am listening before I go to sleep.

In short, the narration was excellent, the story was engrossing and I really liked the main character. I’m new to the
Litrpg genre, and was worried that I wouldn’t be gripped by it, but this book has a lot of depth and realism and I was surprised to be drawn so thoroughly in the world that by the end I really cared about what was happening.

I am really hoping that the second in the series will be available soon, and read by the same narrators.

Better than expected

Its not the best story I've listened so far, but the voice acting and sound effects makes is unique. I've never listened an audio book with sound effects 🤯

I hardly find something to like, but this audio book worth all money. I felt reluctant to start a new story after the amazing experience I've got from the ''He who fights with monsters" book, but I can assure you that you won't regret if you are in this kind of genre.

Fantastic

If you like litrpg/gamelit and if you like dragons this is 100% the book for you.

The narration and sound production was fantastic as always by SBT
