About this listen

My skill set brings all the girls to the yard.

And by yard, I mean the temple of a young goddess who's using me to build a fortified city around herself before the god of war can finish slaying every deity in the heavens.

He'd better not find us before we're ready. Spoiler: We're far from ready.

But hey, I get a cool skill out of it. The goddess allows me to view anyone's strength, vivacity, and other attributes as though they were numbers on a menu and then use their life experiences to make them stronger. I can unlock their special skills, too, and it's all stuff no one else can see.

Hence the girls: a beastkin builder, a negotiatrix made of slime, a half-elf gypsy who charms snakes - and more - seeking safe refuge and a place to belong.

Think our ragtag group can survive a divine onslaught of apocalyptic proportions? I know what I think. Come on in and find out.

If you are a big lover of D&D then you'll love this book! This is a fun and funny action/adventure themed book with some adult themes but nothing too blatant. The author does a good job with a variety of different voices as well.

This is basically a D&D campaign in story format

I had no idea what LitRPG was until I listened to this book. I must admit that it did not really appeal to me much at the beginning. But the more I listened the more I got into it. The story was paced just right that I was able to understand and follow the story - despite my ignorance in this genre. The narration was equally good and it made my listening time really enjoyable.

I am looking forward to more of this series.
