Summary

A new Founder marked with otherworldly power. An epic quest to build a sanctum settlement. A fabled class that wields monstrous magic.

The Founders were the first marked, and they used those powers to build kingdoms, subjugate the land, and enrich themselves. They will not suffer another to join their ranks.

Lost in a world with levels, stats, and monsters, Hal fights to survive in an unforgiving land, and to escape execution from its rulers. Ingenuity and courage won’t be enough. With marked powers he doesn’t understand, he’s easy prey for all the goblins, bandits, aberrations, and foul monsters that plague the realm. He’ll need to abandon his humanity by embracing the beast within. To fight monsters, one has to risk becoming a monster...if he can survive long enough to level up.

Freedom and safety cannot be achieved alone. Only by forging bonds with fellow adventurers and monsters alike do Hal and his would-be kingdom have any chance of surviving the hazardous realm. 

Beastborne in an isekai litRPG adventure series full of dungeon crawling, spell-slinging action, and deep magic systems.

Not bad

This was a good book, I'm pissed the next one is ready to go but not available for 3 months!? Unfortunately the MC has two modes, the first is for story progression where he is competent and pragmatic, the second mode our MC is replaced with a moron that eventually makes the correct choice either on purpose or by accident for his development. Really doesn't help that the story was so chaotic, like scooby doo levels of chaos and I'm not a fan of the harem that's been building from the start, it's on the verge of becoming cringy af.
Ultimately this story has potential to be 10/10, but I don't think it will be. I'd recommend the book but advise to read He who fights with monsters first.

Please give this time you'll get it.

Ok full disclosure I bought this because I work alone ( well I work with K9's who are noisy and don't do audio books) I searched Long listening....and I got hooked and pre-ordered the 2nd book. My 14 yr old son is a D&D player with his pals I never got the attraction but OMG anything is up for grabs in this fantasy realm.
You may struggle with the upgrade prompts being vocalised but that aside , just let yourself go and enjoy the ride along.

A great bloody book

It’s rare that a book like this is able to tie most of the threads together but this one does 10/10

Chaotic

The story starts slow and then just goes everywhere. Like real chaotic and coupled with a narrator who is a bit on the monotone side I just lost concentration all the time. It's fairly interesting though with interesting magic and characters, it's just that I cannot keep track of whatever is happening all the time.

The story could be great but the mc is destroying


In the story we have a standard "mc transfer to another world" At the beginning it was an interesting introduction with a hostile world and a confused mc who doesn't understand what is going on.


And as we continue throughout the stories the 9 hours that I spent listening to the story I have found out that this mc.

This mc has the brain of a child because he does not have the capability of understanding the perspective of other humans in a parallel world.

I have a question for you listener if you were thrown in a parallel universe And you met some peaceful monsters Would you:

a) go to a town and tell these town folks who clearly have a great prejudice and are very afraid of monsters to accommodate these monsters.

Or

b) be Sympathetic and understanding of the human perspective of this parallel universe. Understand that there is no way that monsters even peaceful monsters cannot enter a city without being attacked onsite.

And also we're not talking about demi humans We are talking about goblins.


Also this is my 1st review so I don't know how to express my words perfectly.
