Two weeks ago, Hector Park cheated death by uploading his mind to the ultra-immersive fantasy RPG game, Archemi. After exposing the rotten heart of an order of dragon knights, he’s now on the run with a young queen dragon who could one day become the most powerful mount in the game. To get strong enough to face their enemies, they need a quest - a big one. Fortunately, trouble has a way of finding Hector, and it does - in the form of a series of brutally murdered priests, a king in desperate need of a hero, and a beautiful, fiery berserker.

Story
Felix's life on Earth had become a series of dead-end jobs, ruined relationships, and rotating apartments smaller than most postage stamps. By all accounts, even his own, he was a coward. Too afraid to move forward, to take risks. Yet when given the chance to choose between risking his life or walking away from a deadly encounter, he didn't hesitate. Moments before his untimely demise, Felix was snatched from earth and thrust into a magical world known only as "The Continent". Empowered by the "System", he learns that he can strengthen himself through combat and dedication.

The buildings and all the people inside have all been atomized and transformed into the dungeon: an 18-level labyrinth filled with traps, monsters, and loot.

Randidly's capabilities are now more than enough to help build a small enclave of survivors, but that doesn't mean balancing his sense of responsibility against the plots of an unfriendly town will be easy.

Summary
What would you give to be a dragon rider?
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.
Determined to forge a life worth living, Hector undergoes the experimental upload process and chooses the difficult path of the Dragon Knight. To achieve his dream, he must prove himself worthy of imprinting a dragon, a being with whom he will share a telepathic bond more intimate than any human relationship.
But at what cost?
Join Hector on his first steps toward mastering the skies in Dragon Seed, the first audiobook in the Archemi Online LitRPG series!

Wow... Just wow; and not in a good way.
Other than the performance, this book is just really bad. In light of that, I'll just list of what I didn't like about the book, in no particular order.
1) The characters have no real characterization, the motives are convoluted, and the plot keeps changing. At the end of this book, I was more disappointed than anything else.
2) The author was trying too hard to be "cool". Like that one uncle that you have to invite for your family dinner, who is always talking about how he still gets around.
3) The main character might as well have a warning over head, stating that anyone with female genitalia, should be warned that he is around, as, females being females, will instantly fall in love with him. This wouldn't be bad, but the writing is so poor that I found it cringe worthy. (I actually did cringe a few times)
4) This maybe revealed in the later series, but the main bad guy was your typical jerk level villain. The way that he was written made me believe that he should be a side villain. His motives are unexplained (apart from him being a racist - but I want a little more depth than - he's racist ergo he's the bad guy. I'm sure there are more racist's in this world, that are of higher station, so why aren't they the main bad guy?)
5) SPOILERS - why did the betrayal happen? The book gives no real indication as to why this happens, but I am forced to believe it happens for some reason. Why? I have no idea.
6) Sometimes the internal monologue sounded really corny. Maybe that was what the author wanted, but as stated, it just came off as cringe worthy.
If you are into LitRPG novels, then maybe you will enjoy this, but not me.

Really, really good
This is probably the best audio book I have listened to in terms of the narration. I can’t describe how superb it was - granted that I enjoyed it more at 0.75x normal speed, but I have started doing that with most audio books now (I read somewhere that the human brain processes words more easily when they are spoken at around 130 words per minute, and most modern speakers and readers clock in at around 180).
It isn’t that this narration is particularly fast, and most wouldn’t even notice, so don’t be put off - I have just started slowing everything down, especially if I am listening before I go to sleep.
In short, the narration was excellent, the story was engrossing and I really liked the main character. I’m new to the
Litrpg genre, and was worried that I wouldn’t be gripped by it, but this book has a lot of depth and realism and I was surprised to be drawn so thoroughly in the world that by the end I really cared about what was happening.
I am really hoping that the second in the series will be available soon, and read by the same narrators.

Better than expected
Its not the best story I've listened so far, but the voice acting and sound effects makes is unique. I've never listened an audio book with sound effects 🤯
I hardly find something to like, but this audio book worth all money. I felt reluctant to start a new story after the amazing experience I've got from the ''He who fights with monsters" book, but I can assure you that you won't regret if you are in this kind of genre.

An Enjoyable start
This has Dragons so thats 1 star straight away , however the problem with having Dragons is people expect amazing bonds.
I think this ends at the wrong bit as we don't get enough time with the experience ,but the premise is there.
So due to this and the SBT narration skills im giving this a bit extra due to what I forsee and there is 3 audios done with a fourth on the way. I expect this to improve as the main characters are good and i like how they have portrayed Hector as a good guy with Dyslexia and he has something to prove.

This book got a rare 5 stars across the board. Does that mean it's better than some I gave only 4 stars? No, but I can't find a thing wrong with it. Story unfolded quickly with a rich world and solid characters. Narration was excellent as is typical of SBT. You won't go wrong giving this a listen.

I normally don't give reviews, but I figured that this would be a good time to actually give one. this was by far one of the best litrpg books that I've read in a while. I definitely give this a 10 out of 10, I just kind of wish that Jeff Hayes narrated the entire male cast, instead of just some of them. I definitely look forward to reading the next one, and any other books from this author

well worth the credit
even with the gaming stuff added in it was still fun
The only downside was sound booths issue with volume, I listen to it driving and when you have to turn it way up to hear someone whispering for dramatic effect, it sucks.... and their were a few times but even turning it up I could not understand the background whispers...
While I enjoy soundbooth theater, I did not enjoy that type of annoyance. this is not the first book but they haven't done this way... fortunately I was enjoying the book enough that I could skip the little spots that I could not hear and still keep up

Another great performance by soundbooth
Every book I listen to that is narrated by soundbooth never fails to impress. This one is no different. The fact that they have both male and female actors means that there is no cringey false falsetto of a guy trying to sound like a woman. The actors are extremely talented, and are able to give each character their own voice. I definately recomend this book. 5 out of 5 all across the board.

good story, well told
This story is exactly what it says it is. Dragons, knights, game mechanics, a hard magic system, what is not to love. The readers bring out the different characters with a really good, but not overdone, mixed media performance. By mixed media I mean some music or background sound effects at specific moments in the story (e.g. rain sounds during a flash back).
More than most litrpg I've read this book establishes the different characters' backgrounds and world without lengthy boring expose. It is a hard balance to strike but this story establishes background through dialogue and that works really well for it.
Overall I liked it and am looking forward to reading the next in the series.

Do yourself a favor and GET IT!
I'll be honest. When I was reading the summary of the book, I was not expecting much out of it. I figured it would be just another LITRPG where some guy gets stuck in a game. I guess the dragon riding thing hasn't been done yet, so why not?
Well, I can definitely say this book is AMAZING! There's so many references to games and little jokes I can relate to. It really let me know the author is a gamer like myself. But more than that, the story is superbly written and demands you come back for more. The protagonist is likable and one can easily relate to his circumstances and understand his actions. As a matter of fact, all the characters were superbly done. Big round of applause for the author.
It definitely doesn't hurt that this book was brought to life by the cast of Soundbooth Theater. Sound effects. Multiple cast members providing their amazing skills. Music. It is ALL there. It was a treat to listen to.
The only downside to this book is I wish there was more, but I mean that's how it always is when you have a good book in your hand right? Do yourself a favor and GET. THIS. BOOK!

The Gold Standard for LitRPG
This book.. No this production is probably the best if not close to the best experience I have had in the LitRPG genre. From the voice acting to the added effects and music everything is on point. I enjoyed myself thoroughly and am eagerly waiting for more. wondefully done.

I tried but just couldn't...
I really tried to like this book. it's like a less exciting and less intriguing version of Dungeon Crawler Carl, which I really enjoyed. I couldn't finish this book, even with only 3 hours left... bad attempts at humor, horribly awkward character conversations, and a storyline that leaves me lacking. I applaud the writer for trying, he's not a bad writer, but this story was too much to even finish.
