About this listen

The decision to start a new life is never an easy one, but for Joe the transition was far from figurative. Becoming a permanent addition to a game world, it doesn't take long to learn that people with his abilities are actively hunted. In fact, if the wrong people gained knowledge of what he was capable of, assassins would appear in droves.

In his pursuit of power, Joe fights alongside his team, completes quests, and delves into the mysteries of his class, which he quickly discovers can be practiced only in secret. Ultimately, his goal is to complete every mission, master every ability, and learn all of the world's secrets. All he has to do is survive long enough to make that happen.

Don't worry about the first 2-3 chapters, they are just generic set-up and the story isn't similar to those.

I think this book, like many in its genre, is not suited well to the audiobook format. There are lots of stat sheets and percentage modifiers which would be easily and quickly digestible as a table or grid on the page but when being read to you they quickly becomes gibberishy.

The other problem is that this is set in an open world sandbox game environment where the player has lots of opportunities to expand and explore and it is quite frustrating to follow a linear path. This would make a better game than a story.

Other than that it is ok. You won't be bowled over by the plot but it has a beginning, middle and end and is engaging. If you like MMORPGs then this might be a good book for you.

Edit: Coming back to this book for a re-read after a bit more experience with the LitRPG genre I will say this book is as good as it gets. The stats sheets are comparatively quick compared to others in the genre and the plot is solid. Would definitely recommend.

Good but not groundbreaking.

A bit too much like the Divine Dungeon series, but otherwise a decent listen. I am getting confident in my theory that the author has something against rabbits. I will definitely buy the 2nd book.

A good story

took me ages to pick this one up out of my recommendations really glad I did it in the end because it turned out to be a really good litrpg. not sure if I'll read any of krout's other series, as I'm not a fan of the dungeon core subgenre, but I've already bout this books sequel and if it continues at this quality I'll keep buying them.

really good start

excelent story in first 2 books but 3rd book is less than great and the change in voices completely ruins the story for me so i stopped listening about 2 hours into book 4 as its not great compared to original reader at all.

brilliant
