About this listen

Barliona: a virtual world jam-packed with monsters, battles - and, predictably, players. Millions of them come to Barliona, looking forward to the things they can't get in real life: elves and magic, dragons and princesses, and unforgettable combat. The game has become so popular that players now choose to spend months online without returning home. In Barliona, anything goes: You can assault fellow players, level up, become a mythical hero, a wizard, or a legendary thief. The only rule that attempted to regulate the game demanded that no player be allowed to feel actual pain. But there's an exception to every rule. For a certain bunch of players, Barliona has become their personal hell. They are criminals sent to Barliona to serve their time. They aren't in it for the dragons' gold or the abundant loot. All they want is to survive the virtual inferno. They face the ultimate survival quest.

What made the experience of listening to Survival Quest the most enjoyable?

Jonathan Yen's voice acting was fantastic

What other book might you compare Survival Quest to, and why?

It's similar to Ready Player One where everyone plays within a full-body immersive MMO.

Fantastic!

The story was great doesnt take the place of my favorite LitRPG book (weirdest noob). This is an interesting gaming world.
narrator was ok. I dont think he does women's voices well. Then again it was a very short part. Valid societal issues that happen when computers run most things came up.
Edit: finished all the books in the series - Vasily is a great author

Fascinating Story

I’m glad this wasn’t just a basic game character style. It’s different and good for it.
