Summary

All life on Earth has been stolen away by The System.

It was transported to another world at the behest of a distant galactic empire that lives in terror of humanity's potential.

Ben - just a normal, if not slightly above average guy -  had been about to go on the first real vacation of his adult life. But plans changed. Now, he must contend with danger and mystery in a world full of monsters, magic, and treasure. Armed with nothing but his wits and a special item given to him by The System, he embarks on a damn good adventure.

Written by Matthew Howry, better known to Royal Road fans as Salty Waters.

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.

Oh yes and then oh no

This book was hilarious in the beginning. I laughed so hard I cried. And then there was an emotional bit that actually made me cry for sadness reasons. Oh yes! I thought. This book is amazing. It’s super funny and the narrator is brilliant with his timing and apt voice acting skills. But then disappointment when the story abruptly turned into a gamer tale. For me, someone who despises video games, this was an abhorrence of literary failure. It’s like watching my boyfriend play video games day and night while ignoring me completely until the day I say no more, head out the door, and never return. But for someone who likes gamer stories, well I think they’d enjoy this audiobook with a character who basically goes around a minecraft/sims blank screen and builds everything one tiny bit at a time. So boring. Too bad. I’m sad now.

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.

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.

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!
