The story is a solid goofy action story. It feels like author created a smart Ash Williams and threw him in an underground borderlands with a great companion. It starts goofy but as the series progresses it peeles back a compelling, heartfelt, litrpg story. It may be a little predictable in some aspects but it fells like it has plenty of good surprises to me and the audio performances are top notch honestly spoiling me for other books. I’m glad my brother convinced me to listen to these.
