Publisher's summary

In the year 2035, humanity broke the dimensional barrier and attached its world to another.

Unfortunately, something was waiting on the other side. Nearly 150 years later, humanity is in a never-ending war to hold what is left of its world. Vic is a military asset for the United Forces of Humanity (UFH), and his job is to kill the Invader Orcs and their kin.

While on a mission, he is exposed to an advanced technology that grants him powers beyond anything he has known. How can he grow and use those powers to serve humanity and its hope to take back the world? Travel with Vic as he uncovers strange happenings throughout human cities, strengthens himself and his allies, and breaks rules set in place a century and a half ago. Watch as he allies himself with elves, dwarves, gnomes, and beastkin to battle the Invaders using a mix of ancient magic and futuristic technology.

good book

this is a solid book. nice ideas, good length. the start is a bit slow but still interesting. its worth your time. and credit

I’m not blind guy

I am listened to all lit RPG/progression fantasy books you can think of I would say 10 rooms is my favorite and this book is my second ever enough about 500 great book

love it

alright, this is now another series I'll follow doggedly. great story, no major headache characters, and the mc stupidity only last so long.

the ten realms combined with system apocalypse!!

this is the start of a great series it starts slow but has a complex magic system that takes place in apocalyptic earth around 300yrs after 21 century.

It has potential

The beginning was way too much crafting and menus for me, but the book eventually started rolling. MC is a burgeoning OP character, but he isn't there yet. Given the scale of challenges he/humanity faces, even being OP might not be enough so that isn't a bad idea for story balance.

His cluelessness got a bit grating at times, as it was inconsistent, but eventually (albeit near the end of the book) he started to resemble a functional adult.

It shows potential overall, so I'll certainly read another one if it shows up in audible.

Jack Ryan + system apocalypse

Great take on litrpg. Takes a post system apocalypse setting with typical rpg races and magic then sprinkles in some nano tech for extra spice. Combined it with a Jack Ryan like MC, special forces soldier, who’s is set up to be killed on mission. Betrayed by fellow humans? Their government?

Great Audio Book

Had me on the edge of my seat wondering what overpowered thing he’s going to do next. I understand what the author was trying to get at with the disparity between Vic’s perception of Arya’s age and how she sees him. Vic has no experience so to him if she’s young for her kind she’s you gb for his kind. She proves him wrong and that’s when the relationship truly begins. He is her protector above all and he’s still kicking butt!

very good book

it is hard to stop listening. I already got book 2 and hopefully book three will be out soon..

good

not a bad story first half has a lot of Scat page readings but tones down quite a bit love the story will read the next one

Too many stats!

A very enjoyable story. But the stats keep getting longer and more frequent. Very annoying and they are almost useless. I'm currently on book two and I believe the most recent stat recital was over 5 minutes. When reading it's easy to skip these: but when listening they're painful and could and should be skipped during the performance. This is one of the downsides of the LitRPG genre. I wish Audible would standardize a format to facilitate skipping. Perhaps: collect these as footnotes, at the end of chapters, allowing readers to skip to the end of a chapter.
