The Dwarf, the Mine, and the RPG Apocalypse

Dwarf Smith from Earth

De: Constantin Step

Narrado por: Daniel Thomas May

Being a last-year high-schooler who is four feet, eight inches (142 cm) in height is one thing, but having the muscles of a bodybuilder and the face of a middle-aged biker at the same time is another. And don't you dare to bring up shaving in front of him. Did I mention that the boy's favorite hobby is smithing?

Derek always wondered if gods had sent him to the wrong world. Until, one day, Earth Awakened. With dungeons, monsters, magic, and status screens, everything became not so different from fantasy fiction or a role-playing game.... Except death was real and monsters would chase you until you experience it firsthand. The sudden change brought chaos to the world, but to the young dwarf, it also brought the opportunity to discover his true self. And maybe to reunite with his real kinfolk. But only if he survived, first.

Who asked him to explore this abandoned mine at the worst time possible? Now Derek is trapped, and the only way to escape is to learn how this mysterious System works. Too bad there's no manual or teacher to help him with that. Or maybe there is? With his unlikely companions - a megalomaniac fairy, a polite dolphid, a twin ogre, and a mysterious cloaked girl - he's going to survive, he's going to learn, and he's going to show his talent as a Mastersmith!

Meh

I don't think the author is a natural English speaker. The dialog is really clunky and feels like it has been translated from another language. The story was interesting enough to finish. It's your basic wish fulfillment aimed at teen boys.

great

Loved it, dieing inside waiting for the next one.
Just fires the RPG/Si-fi part of my mind.
just love e-books and have been buying audio books for a few years now. Need more.

Worth the credit!

I loved this story. it's a great foundation for the series. I can't wait to see what comes next.

cute and good

wow it's a great book then it gets better. I just like this book. Hope there is a next soon.

rpg fun

This book was wonderfully narrated and absolutely well written. It has an unexpected introduction of the rpg world overlaying the real world.The characters are interesting and unusual.

It was different but good wholesome with action

really enjoyed it was wholesome in some parts and had good characters. Has great potential to be an amazing series.

It’s good but it has its problems

I think the premise for this book is awesome I wish it was explored more. I understand that the author constraints especially with this only being the first book but I hope it’s something that’s expanded on. My biggest negative of this book has to be any scene we’re The main character is flirting with women it always felt very cringey. My biggest hope for the sequel book is that it focuses more on the world and the actual blacksmithing which I think is the best part of this book.

Children’s book

Performance was poor.
Writing was simple.
Store was underwhelming.
Might be good for a pre-teen.

Absolutely amazing!

Loved it! I can’t wait for book 2! a magnificent main character and side characters. you’ll laugh cry and rage with the main character! An amazing world deff worth a visit. (Ps all hail the umbra fairy! She’s the best!) (pps never take a dwarfs HAMMER!)

Terrible Grammar, Fun Idea

The grammar was so bad it was distracting. (My five cents?) But the idea was fun. This is a light listen. The characters don’t really evolve (except in stats). I have no idea why the book was recommended so highly. Guess I need to do more research next time.
