About this listen

What would you do if you awoke without memory, crucified, and on the brink of death?

Varnoth, a shadow panther, must struggle to survive in the cruel world of Albattara. He must use his natural-born skills in this fantasy LitRPG to explore the land, complete quests, conquer dungeons, craft potions, destroy terrifying monsters, and find answers to his questions:

Who is he?

Why was he crucified?

I recieved a review copy of this book which I enjoyed very much. The story and characters are interesting whilst the narrator is an excellent choice.

The book masks the background of the main character, even from himself, which keeps the nature of the story mysterious. However, the character accepts the mechanics of the world immediately and without apparent question which somewhat undermines this. There also appears to be strong focus on leveling and gaining statistics, but these almost feel unearned due to the rate in which the character levels. This was relatively minor though and did not take away from my enjoyment of the book.

A focus on leveling

Didn’t give it a chance, they voice actor is too dramatic, didn’t listen for more then 4 min. Will maybe try out the kindle version.

Nope can’t listen to the narrator

The book is nicely written and flows decently, while somewhat crude language is used occasionally it doesn't distract too much.
The one flaw is that the character is supposed to have memory loss, which makes little sense in litRPG.

Narration by Jack Voraces is well done, characters stand out well and moves well except minor overpronounciation at the start.

decently written litrpg with a minor flaw or 2.

I've only listened to maybe one other LitRPG. As much as I tried the story didn't pull me in but that could be me not really gelling with the genre. If you like LitRPG you may like it. It just wasn't my cup of tea. On another note I liked the narrator and his passion.

New genre
