Summary

A home, a family. Lies and resentment. To save the future he must reclaim his past.

Enjoying his retirement. Ryan has everything. The perfect wife, a daughter he adores and all the time in the world. Yet, with dinner burning on the stove and his wife late home from work, two visitors appear bringing dire news and a quest he can't refuse.

Dragged back to a universe and a life Ryan did everything to escape, he must secretly hunt out survivors and friends all while training for the fight of his life.

Where brutality and pain were all Ryan ever knew, now he must inspire and heal. The collision of two worlds draws ever closer and if he can’t claim what was once his, all is lost.

A great book!

A really enjoyable book. Enough stars for the litrpg element to be clear but not so many as to cause annoyance.

The story progresses nice and fast but leaves it open ended enough to to show that there is a lot more to come.

The only thing that I felt was a tiny bit underwhelming was the narration, still really enjoyed it I just felt like it left a little to be desired. However, it was still good and was not a deal breaker for the book whatsoever.

Overall a very enjoyable book and I recommend.

An Intriguing Story

This audiobook, although what some would call short, packs an awful lot into it. I'll try not to add spoilers so will try and be vague where possible.

The story begins with Ryan receiving some devastating news about his wife, when he arrives at the hospital is when things get interesting. We find out that not all is at it seems with Ryan and he ends up being transported into another world in the body of an enslaved and weak man. He makes new connections but hasn't forgotten what has happened, and whilst training and forging stronger connections with others, it is discovered that he's kind of a big deal.

The storytelling was great and instead of the main character either being an overpowered trainee, Ryan (or Ty as he is known in the alternate world) has to learn it all over again due to being in such a weakened state as well as helping others learn their full potential.

I thoroughly enjoyed this and will definitely be completing the series so I hope Alex continues to expand this universe. I also need to say that Steve Campbell did an excellent narration.

Always look on the Bright side of life

I would describe this as LitRPG lite as wwwwwwthere is little emphasis on stats and as for growth going from too week to stand to standing against an invasion force in a few levels is a little bewildering. However the story flows well enough and has a few twists and turns.
It is well read with easy to differentiate characters.
I can only guess the series will continue by the broken body growing into power that has been forced into it.
Hoping that the flips from it's impossible to it's done with noo explaination are avoided going forwarded, but I will keep on with the series.
Overall it wasn't too bad.

Interesting mechanics and sci-fi setting work well

On the whole gamelit/litrpg books often tend more towards the fantasy side of things rather than sci-fi, but this one opts for the latter instead and works well with a combination of some solid world-building and interesting mechanics for the power system the characters utilise. The author opts for a lighter touch when it comes to the stats side of things, so this book also works just fine if you are just looking for some entertaining sci-fi too.

The performance of the narrator works well overall with the main character's tone being ideal, although perhaps some of the supporting cast could be a little more distinctive.

Overall, a promising start to this series and I'll be looking out for subsequent ones in the future.

Great Story

This was a great story only thing was is I didn’t know it was an RPG type of audiobook. ( not that it bothered me ) This was the first time reading this type of book and only noticed it was a lite version of an RPG when it showed all the characteristics of the person and the numbers associated with them but not full blown stats every time something happened.

The story flowed perfectly and knowing it was part of a series I knew it would possibly be about building up the world and characters which it does, I’ve already got the 2nd audiobook so looking forward to listening to more from this author.

The narration was perfect and you could differentiate between the characters no problem and it helped the flow of the story

Highly recommend if you’re into RPG type books
