This is a great introduction in to litrpg genre

I wont say it's the best book I have ever read as it would be a lie but it is a good book it keeped me entertained from the start and it shows some true potential to be a great series. i believe the best description of the book would be as a gateway book in to the litrpg world of books.

Very entertaining LitRPG

First I would say this isn't for everyone but if you have ever played a MMO, RPG, Dungeons & Dragon or even read a Choose Your Own Adventure (you make a decision and go to x page), love stats and game mechanics or compelling fantasy stories I would highly recommend this.

It's a interesting idea to try and rehabilitate a troll who has undesirable negative emotionational episodes against other people when things aren't going their way and they are probably losing, especially when they believe someone else is to blame and immersing then in a fully VR game as a in game Troll (the most hated in game race).

The story was fun and kept me entertained throughout. There was some very interesting game mechanics that I liked and I honestly cared about all the main characters. The narrator was spot on. I'm hoping there is a sequel or this because a trilogy.

Stands out

A very good audiobook, the narration is good, the author managed to get you emotionally involved, was wishing for an extra couple of hours but i can understand why it ended where it did. Without spoilers, prepare to troll smash.

If you enjoyed the book you'll lurve this, like I did

I read this book a while ago and enjoyed it, listening it on Audible brought it all back with a whole new take. Bad guy gets sentenced to immerse themself for a month in a game, the story is about what happens.

One of the best LitRPG stories!

I bought this audiobook on a whim because the blurb for the story sounded like it had a lot of potential to make for a super fun story and it really did live up to those expectations! The story was engaging from start to finish. The world was a lot of fun, the lead character was one of the more likeable I've come across in LitRPG stories, and the plot was pretty enjoyable. It mixed action and adventure and was never dull.

The best thing about the story was the main characters personal development. There was nothing preachy about his growth as a character. He was simply a guy who got the chance to grow more as a person due to having a shot at a different sort of life he found in the game world compared to the life he left in the real world. I loved how well done that aspect of the story was.

The other good thing about this story was it did not get bogged down in those mindless stats that plague a lot of books in this genre. We got a few to track Chad's progress in the game but nothing that overwhelmed the story or hurt the flow of the action. This is the way it should be. Most of the stat laden LitRPG's are just gaming the Kindle Unlimited system and it never translates well in the audio format!

I felt like Eric Martin gave a great performance with the audio. His general narration was engaging and his character voices were good.

Excellent story from a unique perspective

I received a review copy of first three books in this series. The story is excellent and the perspective is unique, placing the main character on the opposite side to civilisation. This does lead to less of a focus on equipment, crafting or trade which is hard to come by.

I Really Enjoyed this Adventure!

The characters were likeable and the adventure engaging. The narrator made the story come to life and gave it a unique and enjoyable feel even when listing notifications. I really enjoyed the thought process of Chod and his growth. The book is enjoyable and brighten my day when listening. The only problem is I want to know more about the history of the Isle of mythos the parts shown were interesting and I can only wait patiently for more!
