I *wanted* this book to be awesome. It’s a great deal, with an excellent narrator (who does a great job). But…
The book needs severe polish. The pacing is awful. Exposition is dumped heavy-handedly. Things that should have impact, such as the special items the main character has collected, simply do not. The various levels of plot are shoveled at the audience in a ham-fisted, first-book sort of way. In addition to all of this, the dialogue is dated and stilted, the characterizations are Noir but not in a good way, and the RPG elements are barely there.
Skip this one. Get Dungeon Crawler Carl instead.
