About this listen

The orc apocalypse has arrived.

In the small village of Berring, Calder runs the Broken Mug tavern. He was a gifted swordsman and would have been a war hero if only his side had won. His injured leg tells him his days of fighting are over.

When a dark portal opens in his village’s main square and orcs stream through it, slaughtering his neighbors and setting everything on fire, it brings with it a second chance.

A soldier of light appears and grants Calder a weapon stone so he can help fight against the forces of darkness.

His leg is healed. His body pulses with superhuman strength. And he’ll do anything to protect his people.

Hack, Slash & Burn is a medieval LitRPG fantasy series with portals to other worlds, different classes, stats, levels, and spells.

I think the basis and start is interesting and sets a good start....but i think it loses the thread fast after that. some parts are understandable and his struggle feels real.

some time after... well... i dont get it. he gets all full of him self making flaud plans like is the only one that can save his world, yet does very little to nothing to actually accomplish any of it?

i mean like there needs to be a sentain sence of what is strong what is not. the guys goes to a hub world where there are really strong warriors, yet he feels like he take on an army with 25 people right after loosing 5 to a few hundred mobs that are barely higher in level than his whole group? any ways it stops making sense and it looses any impact.

then we have narrator... he is good in some other seires i thinkt he quality of the writing helps him tone down the over acting and he can be quite good. but in a few other series he is done he just makes the bad parts even worse or even aggravating.

i listened to the end and i think it might be to the taste of some so give it a try, but for my part am not sure if i will continue to the next one.

Well...

An excellent book I'm so glad that unlike other books, that started great when half way through the first chapter. They have to use the f word instead of using their mind to fill in missing contents. Now. this book does have some swearing but it's used sparingly. i will be buying the next in the series.

This is a classic LITRpG format. As such it does some stat sections but works with the story. Has a story line running through it. Good writing and feels some what thought out. MC feels like a person with issues. Side characters are there enough and author spends a little time to give some depth to them.

Good read
