Hello Fellow Readers! This was my first LitRPG book that I ever listened to, based around the mechanics of a virtual reality video game! It was also my first experience with who has become by “FAR” my most favorite narrator and voice actor of all time Travis Baldree! This series did not disappoint for several..

I started this series looking for something to listen to. I saw there were 10 books in the series and thought that this would be interesting. I have made it to the third book and it was great. The books are a little slow at times but then the action picks up and there is..

I really like this narrator. He also does “He Who Fights With Monsters”. You can forget he’s reading a book and really loose yourself in the work.

I kept being startled when he would laugh, groan, or curse at something happening in the..

Wasn’t sure what I was getting into. Honestly, my expectations were low. As gamer, I thought, why not? Much to my surprise, a very entertaining story spawned!

Good listen. Funny at times, definitely a lot of wit and sarcasm. There is a little too much exposition that borders on rambling. The narrator did a good job of giving each character a personality. This story gives a great twist on Greek mythology and the role of the gods and their interactions with mortals.
The fantasy of progression isn’t simply becoming stronger but is instead the idea that by growing your abilities, people can overcome their obstacles. While this novel has an enormous amount of progression, the character doesn’t seem to be able to use it cleverly and his abilities evaporate the moment the author decides that the stakes..
