About this listen

Mike Hagen, an American nicknamed "Crybaby", became one of those chosen to be given an augmented reality interface. However, his favorite game was an MMA fighter - possibly, for the reason that he'd never fought in real life, and the interface adapted itself to him.

Will Hagen be able to use it right? And will it help him to crawl out of the dreary pit of his existence?

Read most of Dan's books... still hate the Alien plot line... but love the Cameo from Phil... and how it ties in with Disgardium as well... All books are in the same universe and that's nice to see.

More Decent than the rest of the Books

Really enjoyed my time listening to Knock Out, Those who have read the other books in the Level Up Series will know of Crybaby Mikey, but don't worry if you haven't it is a complete stand alone book!

Following Mike's journey from a nervous bumbling idiot to a jacked up MMA fighter is fun and has lots of twists and turns. The one downside to the book is that Mike seems to be only attracted to the worst kind of women which in places makes you want to slap some sense into the MC. I do see why its included however as it really helps to outline MIke's self worth from start to finish!

A Nice Addition to the Level Up Book Series

Five stars all around!

I really enjoyed the story and characters.

The narrator does an excellent job.

This is not your standard RPGlit.

I am looking forward to listening to the next book.

Entertaining and worth a listen!
