Duhh dun, duhh dun

Jonathan Mcclain is a great LitRPG narrator. He reads the similarly ridiculous and funny Noobtown series, and he is perfect for this kind of LitRPG, that is a bit more absurd while at the same time doing a great job of expressing the realistic trauma you'd get by being dropped into an action rpg world.

The story itself is a lot of fun and fairly easy-going. The main focus is the world building and characters and really, it's just a damned great adventure.

Also to the person who gave it a bad review because they didn't expect a LitRPG to have LitRPG elements: I hope a Gray gets you.

The beginning of an epic journey

This is a gem of a book. Relaxed tempo without ever being boring or droning. Original in many ways while still keeping true to the GameLit genre. I especially like how the author stays in the moment yet still manages to convey a large meta plot of epic proportions.

Strongly recommended!

This book is gooood

I didnt think a lit rpg would ever make me cry. But here we are. This book is super funny at times. And thats why the heartfelt moments hit like a fucking truck.

I don't write reviews.

BUT! This was friggin' marvelous! I'm laughing, I'm crying, sometimes both! Specatacular writing topped off with fenomenal voice acting! I'm unable to put into words how good this book is. Just.. Just listen to it. It's amazing.

Definitely worth the credit!

Really enjoyed this book, definitely absurd but not in a "I'm trying to be weird and going overboard kinda way" and really funny as well, There's some pretty sad and heartfelt moments that fit in well with the story without seeming shoved in. Its diffrent than other "Sent to another world" books which have become mega popular which is a breath of fresh air. I really liked how the voice actor put alot of effort into each charcter and the preformance and it really brought it all to life. Already pre ordered the second book, Would definitely recommend for a Good time!

Amazing performance by Johnathan McClain

This was like a book of 2 halves. When Ben is communicating with other characters it is really interesting and at times absolutely hilarious. But sometimes, it can get a little bit 'get on with it'. That said, the good certainly outweighs the bad, and there is one definite reason for recommending this book and that is the powerhouse performance by Johnathan McClain. I fully intend researching any books that he has narrated and providing the subject matter is at least slightly interesting, I am going to purchase it. I have heard some really good narrators, but this guy is on another level here, an absolute masterclass performance. Looking forward to listening to book 2 as soon as I have listened to the 3 books I have already downloaded.

A book for the modern man

This book operates on the basis of:”what if humans were space orcs” but with a generous sprinkling of humor and references.
