irrelevant Jack.

I really enjoyed this book, the concept is really good, the main character Jack is very likeable as are the rest of the characters.
The world building is imaginative and well delivered.
The narration is as always by Jeff Hays, featuring Andrea Parsneau and Justin t Scott.
over all a great book well worth checking out
10/10

Weird and Wonderful LitRPG

New to the series but it looked interesting so gave it a try and despite being a bit slow kinda like Jack ,it does pick up quite well and i think the 2nd audio will be better as the "game" picks up and things come together.
However this is the first audio have picked up with Andrea to the SBT line up so it shows as i really enjoyed her talents and kept me going when i started to become annoyed with Jack.
Or perhaps i just seen where a lot of the story was going.

fun start of a series, towerclimb/isekai setup

Jack finds a weird door while mining and gets stuck in an alternate dimension/videogame, the story is reasonably common for this genre, but it's done well and has some citybuilding/broken code issues to spice things up, this initial book is a good intro to what hopefully will be a nice long series.

Narration wise the main narrator is clear and easy to listen too, while the cast of characters is voiced by a good set of narrators to make everything nice and distinct.

All and all a good start and fun book!

Dungeon Crawling Litrpg

Good story about a guy trying to keep demons at bay by traversing a tower over and over to increase gear quality and give the rest to fuel the town to repel the demons. The tower is 100 levels tall but each level gets harder and each level is different, vastly different. Hats off to the author for coming up with a wide variety different floors.

As always Soundbooth are as good as ever.

Give it time!

The summary to this story sounded perfect and as I began listening I had high hopes.

At first I was a little disappointed and it took me a little while to get into the audiobook, but as the story really focused into the actual game setting and Jack got more active, everything began to click. The characters seemed more likeable, the story more compelling and the more I listened, the more I liked.

A Solid Isekai

Irrelevant Jack is a great listen.

While the basic plot isn't anything different from most Isekai or other world game lit. This has enough changes to really grab the interest. Setting up the rest of the series with mysteries of a cosmic horror and lining up future foes and events.

The true gem in Irrelevant Jack is the relationships. the mix of SBT's sound and the writing merges to really sell a naturally growing relationship between jack and the rest of the townsfolk. Everyone coming up remarkably genuine to their own personality and sensibility.

Soundbooth Theatre have done a solid job with the audio, all three voice actors bringing their characters alive. The highlight of all this are the sound effects used throughout the novel giving a larger sense of immersion. From rain to electrical buzzing the sound mixing really sneaks in and adds without becoming overbearing or distracting.

great book!!

Great story, bit of something i haven't seen in other lit RPGs, it has everything, bit of good old violence, a smudge of romance and a bit of a redemption story of one of the side characters. Narration by the crew was amazing, I am already exited to start the next book.

Badly written and oh so boring

The reviews for this looked promising and a group performance from sound booth theatre had me optimistic. Unfortunately this book has been beyond disappointing. The characters are two dimensional, the plot is flimsy and cliched, the writing style is GCSE standard...

I might be being too harsh but I would strongly suggest no one waste their money or credits on this. There are some great, or even enjoyably mediocre works available in this genre, don’t waste your time on this one.

The later books may be better but I have zero intention of ever finding out.
