Story
The necromantic armies are on the warpath and nowhere is safe. Even the presumed sanctuary of the floating dungeon controlled by Cal is threatened! The leadership of nearly all the sentient monarchies has been wiped out, and only the races most suited to repelling the advancing darkness have an intact chain of command. Cal learns quickly that the most pressing threat is not the far-off war, but is instead those entrusted with the general population's protection. As it turns out, the idea of having a flying dungeon for your people is very tempting indeed....

Before being conscripted to fight in the Total War, Private Hector Park had a shattered family, a collection of old video games, and a promising career as a motorcycle stuntman. Now, he is dying from a virus threatening humankind with extinction. He has three days to live. When Hector’s brother contacts him after years of hostile silence, Hector goes to try and make peace. But his brother has an offer even more unbelievable than reconciliation: the chance to cheat death by joining him in Archemi, a full-immersion fantasy VR-RPG video game.

Thrust into an unknown, unwanted situation, most would feel panic, fear anger, and fall into chaos. Erik and Rugrat are not immune to those feelings, but they have stepped into chaos so many times, it is simply a different challenge. Two weeks ago, Erik lost his legs and his arm. Today he got a message. "You have been randomly selected to join the Ten Realms. One may choose to ascend the Ten Realms, thereupon making a request to the Gods of the Realms. Only those who are Level 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, and 90 may ascend to the next realm. Fortune favors the strong!”

Story
When virtual reality becomes real enough that people feel as if they're being transported to another world, Valia Online arrives. A man running from his past joins the game to forget it all. Calling himself Jack Thorn, he chooses an undead race, Deathlord. A mage by choice, and a swordsman by necessity, he soon finds out that he'll need to use much more than magic and steel to survive; strategy, creativity, and carefully chosen words can often accomplish what simple attacks can't.

A Fun Listen
Hal Dix is the unluckiest guy in the world. He's stuck in a boring IT job with a bully for a boss and a successful wife who makes parenting look easy. Hal plays role playing games for fun, and he's just been duped into spending all his spare cash for a bootleg version of a game that doesn't exist yet. Except when Hal tries the bootleg disc, it works. And it transports him bodily into the world of Fantasma.
Hal awakens in the game and immediately runs into trouble. Framed for the murder of a powerful city warden, he's arrested and sentenced to death. He needs to use all his wits and the points he's allocated to his luck stat to survive.
This is a solid LitRPG, an enjoyable listen. Hal is a good MC to follow, a bit awkward at times but not a sad sack. He's just reacting to events in the beginning, but soon takes control and becomes someone to cheer for. The action was fast paced. The game mechanics were incidental to the story, they didn't play a major role and it would be a fun fantasy listen even if you're not into LitRPG. The stat sheets are very short and aren't repeated too often, and Hal doesn't spend any time agonizing over point allocation. Although this is book one, it ties everything up neatly and can be read as a standalone.
The narration is really well done! The narrator performs subtle voices for the various characters and kept me listening and immersed in the story. If you're looking for a LitRPG for a teen or young reader, this book doesn't have any sex or swearing, but there are fight scenes and some references to adult themes. I requested a copy of the audiobook, and I'm voluntarily leaving a review.

Loved this book! A great first novel
I really liked this book a lot. Hal was fun, and Kay? (sorry on audible so not sure if it is just K) was great. The book is about a normal guy who likes to play video games that is sucked into a fantasy world. The world translates things to him in game format, so that he understands it. So he levels and picks powers just as if he were playing at home. In fact, there is a point where he isn't sure if he is playing or if it is real.
The only beef I have is that his one singular ability, his luck, never failed. I would have liked to have seen him flub a few tries, because it got to a point where you knew he was good if he heard the slot machine sound in his head. A minor plot point. I just have to be honest.
I eagerly await book 2, and hope that next time he's not an accidental thief, but an intentional one. Go get this book, it will make a fine addition to your audible library. Oh, and Robert Scarloto does a masterful job of keeping your attention with his inflection, emotion, and pacing. I'd happily listen to him again and again.

Trite, tropey, and predictable
The book followed a typical d&d plotline. No big surprises; I felt reluctant to continue listening.
Finishing became a tedious task, at least for me. I've been reading fantasy for over a decade ave have read a lot, so perhaps I'm spoiled - a newcomer to fantasy works and to role-playing games might enjoy and learn from the book.

Classic case of 'don't judge a book by it's cover'
So...Accidental Thief is not really indicative of what the story is about. Accidental Rogue would have been better. That being said, I LOVED this book. Just like the character in the story, I got sucked in from the very beginning and took a grand adventure. I, personally, have never played a RPG type video game, but I have watched and been entertained. This guy really got into his character! I definitely NEED to listen to the book 2!
I listened to the audiobook version of the story and Roberto Scarlato is the narrator. LOVE his voice. Everything about it. The timber, the cadence of the narration, and he brings the characters to life! I could easily envision the story as it unfolded just like when I listen to a movie on the tv while doing something else.
I recommend this book/audiobook to all!

Nah...shouldn’t be litRPG
Just giving this one guys star summary once per chapter fdoes not make it litRPG! For those of us in the genre, we like to see our characters progression over time, what the level of enemies are and have there be logic to the giving of skills and where stats are out. This is a fine (not great) general adventure story, but damn, there are so many things that bug me I will not be going on in the series. What you ask? I’ll try to list a couple...First...he is the only character with stats described and despite all kinds of knifework, backstabbing, stealth and other stealthy things, they are all lumped under a couple general skills. Well actually he never gets a skill in the weapons area. Second, His allies and opponents never seem to have levels for the reader to see what kind of opponent he is facing (you must assume by the amount of experience he gets) Third, the equipment never really has stats either. There is reference to how it was an enchanted weapon, but we the reader have no comparison. Fourth, the guy puts all his stats into luck to start. Ok fine if he is going to go that route he should stick with it, but then he just puts them into strength when he levels. Most of his fighting is sneaky and requires dexterity, but he never puts points into it but somehow gets better and better as measured by the seemingly more difficult guys he must be facing (again assumed by the experience given). I dunno, it was just a bit shallow for me. I vote it’s not really a litRPG except for the compulsory being stuck in the game part and the describing of his individual stats.
