Story
Sam might have helped defeat the world's most powerful villain, but he still has a lot of levels to earn with his unique power: level up. And the best place to do that is the world's greatest hero program. Even a power gamer in a world full of superheroes can use some education, assuming he can survive the dangerous tryouts, the outrageous curriculum, and the deadly villains along the way.

Story
The last thing I expected was to gain the spells of the woman in my bed. Hell, I didn't even know magic existed until I'd cast a spell that morning. Then a beautiful teacher from a magical academy told me I could become the universe's most powerful mage. To get there, I need to become stronger. I need to ace all my examinations. And, most of all, I need to master the most potent spells. But I have to start somewhere.

Boredom was killing Jay, not in a dramatic way, but in the life of stifled potential way. He wanted more out of life. Then, without any warning, he found himself part of an experiment with not even so much as the courtesy of a "how do you do?". It wasn't really all bad, though. The fit, busty babes outnumbered him 30 to one. Now, Jay has to fight to survive. He has to conquer the dungeon or die. On top of that, he has to juggle a bunch of gorgeous women who are all stuck in the same life or death fight as him.

But a bullet hole in the head ended all that. There was only one problem: he wasn’t supposed to die that day. Everyone has a time and a day that they are meant to die. That was not supposed to be Alex’s day. So God gave him a choice.

Story
Have you ever felt like there was something inside of you pushing your actions? A dormant beast, so to speak. I know it sounds crazy. But, that’s the best way I could describe how I’ve felt for a long time. I thought it was normal, some animal part of the human brain that lingered from evolution. But, this is the story of how I learned I wasn’t exactly human, and there was a world underneath our own where all the things that go bump in the night live. And, that my beast was very real indeed.

Warner spent his days like almost anyone else. He got up, went to work, answered phone calls in a call center, went home, spent time with his daughter, and went to sleep. Only to repeat the pattern over and over and over. Life was as mundane as anyone could ever fear it to be. Today was the day that all that would change. On this day, his daughter Maya would be nearly fatally injured, plunging Warner into a world of paranormal creatures, monsters, and magic he’d never known existed. The only consolation is that he discovers he’s not quite human, either.

Summary
In a world full of superheroes, be a power gamer.
Everyone has a superpower, even Sam. The thing is, Sam has a power unlike anyone else. He can level up.
That might not seem like much, but when everything from doing dishes to thwarting robberies gains you experience, Sam has finally found a way to become the most powerful hero the world has ever seen.
And it’s a good thing, too, because the world’s most powerful villain has come back from beyond the grave, and if death didn't stop him, what can anyone else do to stop him?
And Sam? Well, he doesn’t stand a chance right now, either, but if he can level up just a bit more...anything is possible.
Warning: This book contains awesome superpowers, sexy women, sex scenes, explosions, crazy power leveling, and the ability to become the strongest person the universe has ever seen. That’s right, we said universe.

This is not very good
It has a guy who literally sees the world in gold and black. He wants to be a hero. The women are his conquests and lack any defining personality.
He is unmotivated dumb and trusts 'authority' implicitly like horrible organisations that hunt people they can't catalogue.
This was appantly Simon Archers 'Best work' but I promise it Is the worst I have come across lacking plot, A MC with a brain and any reasonable character development not to mention how insanely naive the MC is.

Lightweight.
The MC has no real depth of character, he was a match for his wepons teacher on the 2nd lesson, no real heros journey going on here. The woman are one dimensional, and the sex scenes are over the top, yet still boring.

interesting take on sup's
I enjoyed the world. The "erotic" scenes are boring though and I just skip them. It's like two different stories mashed together. I really wish litrpg writers would stop with the harem nonsense. So many stories ruined with poorly written erotica.

Good book - looking forward to the next one
Overall this was a good book. It has a dynamic storyline with relatable support characters and MC. The overall narration was solid. If I had to be picky about anything it is the dynamics of individual character voice. Despite that the editor/editors did a great job at tying the sound segments together to feed a story with natural breaks. I look forward to the day and time when Simon Archer releases the following books in this series to audible. I own some 550 literpg/fantasy audiobooks several of which are written by Simon Archer and this book by story alone puts it in my top fifty favorites. Thank you for a good listen.

A bit generic and light
A good enough listen, however both the story, mechanics and love interests are all a bit too shallow. Everything too easy, even the mechanics are without conflict. I.e the ability to change them willy nilly. If you're looking for a Boxy holdover this is not it. If you want a popcorn style story its okay.

Not bad but just a little lame
This book kind of reminded me of one of those porn movies that is a parody off a famous and very successful movie. Solo Leveling is an excellent story written by a Korean author years ago. This story is somewhat of a pornographic rip off of that story. Despite this fact the story is not bad put the writing is very simplistic and the main character is not the most likable guy. He gets up the courage to ask out the girl he’s been falling for out on a date and a short time later he begins to seduce another beautiful woman he meets without even remotely thinking of the previous girl crossing his mind. He then moves onto the next beautiful woman he meets again without thinking about the previous two. But like any good porn movie the girls he finds out really don’t mind. Honestly I would never have finish this novel if it wasn’t for the fact I really enjoyed this story concept.
