Summary
Barliona: a virtual world jam-packed with monsters, battles - and, predictably, players. Millions of them come to Barliona, looking forward to the things they can't get in real life: elves and magic, dragons and princesses, and unforgettable combat. The game has become so popular that players now choose to spend months online without returning home. In Barliona, anything goes: You can assault fellow players, level up, become a mythical hero, a wizard, or a legendary thief. The only rule that attempted to regulate the game demanded that no player be allowed to feel actual pain. But there's an exception to every rule. For a certain bunch of players, Barliona has become their personal hell. They are criminals sent to Barliona to serve their time. They aren't in it for the dragons' gold or the abundant loot. All they want is to survive the virtual inferno. They face the ultimate survival quest.

Excellent Sub-Genre
I liked the strategy, the technical aspects of the game and the humour. I recommend that you find somewhere comfy to sit as once you start you will want to keep on listening to the end.

Utter rubbish
In a word.... Boring.
in two words.... Extremely Boring
The narrator is a typical American that can't pronounce the letter H or I which is very annoying.
Oh and did I mention how boring the story is?

Fantastic!
What made the experience of listening to Survival Quest the most enjoyable?
Jonathan Yen's voice acting was fantastic
What other book might you compare Survival Quest to, and why?
It's similar to Ready Player One where everyone plays within a full-body immersive MMO.

Ever played an MMORPG? Then the Protagonist is You
What did you like most about Survival Quest?
Recaptures all the reasons people love to play online games with each other, and translates it into an interesting, and relatively relatable storyline. There is a fashion in books these days that turmoil relates to pages turned, but with this story the main character seems to have the same initiative and common sense ordinary people are blessed with, so there's no need to yell "you're making a mistake" at a fictional character that can't hear your wisdom.

Basic and Bad
The narrator has an incredibly annoying voice, and the book is only suitable for under 12s. the dialogue and problems are so basic that they often don't make sense. That anyone could react or respond in the way these characters do is jarring. On top of that there is an undertone of sexism throughout the whole thing, literally as though a 12 year old boy has written in. At the start, the main character has a bet with an attractive women, who will "be his girl" for a month if he wins... the whole book is very cringy.

New start - great background and story
This takes the entering of the game in a different way, and entertains as well.
Good character story, good world description. Some great game ideas and story points.
Really good read and I immediately bought the second book. Well worth a read
