Publisher's summary

Disillusioned businessman, John Lawrence Locke, finds himself summoned as a hero to another world, filled with monsters and magic! With his body reverted to the age of 15, the 33-year-old's mind is filled with the possibility of battles and adventures, like the ones in his favorite video games.

Unfortunately for him, life isn't always so convenient. Betrayed by the very people who summoned him, he's condemned as the False Hero and forced to flee for his life. Alone in an unfamiliar world and hunted by all of humanity, he takes on the alias of Lutz and uses his gaming knowledge to quickly adapt to the world's strangely game-like mechanics.

Better Shield Hero

There are a lot of inspiration taken from the Shield Hero and perhaps other similar pieces of fiction but I actually like this one better. The MC isn't held back by the pg good guy syndrome and has no issues killing and doing what is necessary when it is necessary to achieve his goals. When it comes to protecting the people he cares about and innocents he willing to get his hands dirty and that is why I like this better.

Good but could be better

I bought the box set because it was a set and the type of books I like to listen too the story is great my problem is the narrator there's very little change in his voice for any character it's hard to tell who is talking at some points in time he does bring the mc to life in my book it just they all sound the same could have used a second narrator maybe a female it would have made this book even better

Jesus Christ it's Mason born.

It was pretty good overall Mason seems a bit new too Reading these things But you try reading 24 hours worth of Story Without stumbling.

Very good!

As stated, this was a very good book. I really enjoyed it and am looking forward to the next 3 volumes.

really good boxset

I really enjoyed the first three books in this boxset. looking forward to diving into the 4th book right now.

Mason Born

I listen to the book for about 10 minutes, I’m sorry I could not listen to Mason Børns voice it, grates on my nerves. What sucks is I couldn’t even return the book, to go and actually buy the books off Amazon. Amazon. I think I would rather actually read it

It's like shield hero written by a Westerner

It's Is very similar to rising of a Shield hero especially in the beginning, Though it becomes very different as it progresses so the comparison isn't completely accurate. Anyone who's read a Japanese light novel will immediately recognize that this was not written by a Japanese author, Just everything the main character says or focuses on, the diction is slightly different. There's nothing wrong with Japanese light novels or English for that matter, it's just interesting

Fun story, poor narrator

Basic rip off of rising of the shield hero,still a fun story. The narrator needs a lot of work. Young voice matches the age of the characters but his rythym is utterly broken. Lots of pauses and breaks and mispronounciations. Might get decent in time but it's rather jarring.

Well done and fun story

Despite what others may say, I truly enjoyed everything especially the direction of the story.

Start of a great entertaining series!

Looking forward to the other books! Great story and characters. Need more books in the series. Cannot wait to find out what happens
