By: Chugong, J. Torres - translator, Hye Young Im - translator

Narrated by: Ki Hong Lee

THE WEAKEST HUNTER OF ALL MANKIND! E-rank hunter Jinwoo Sung has no money, no talent, and no prospects to speak of-and apparently, no luck, either! When he enters a hidden double dungeon one fateful day, he’s abandoned by his party and left to die at the hands of some of the most horrific monsters he’s ever encountered. But just before the last, fatal blow… PING! [Congratulations on becoming a Player.]

Great story, but cringe sound effects.

Please narrate the next book without the terrible sound effects. its the only issue I have with this book.

Fun book

I did really enjoy it and an looking forward to part 2. That said, there are some issues that need to be addressed, namely any time there's a sound effect or a creature noise or something like that... just describe it, don't sound it out. I'd MUCH rather hear the narrator just say "the monster let out a high pitched shriek" than hear the narrator go "Chreeeassiiikkk!!!" or hear him do the impression of a girl screaming or something. And the notification bing... just put in a sound effect of a ding lol don't have him actually yell out BING every time

Also, sometimes it's just overboard on the notifications. I don't need to hear the stats or skills listed out like three times in a row at some places

Anyway like I said I don't think the story was bad nor do I think the guy reading it is bad, but some things might need to be adjusted for audiobook direction is all.

Standard tale with Korean twist

If you like this genre, you have probably read more than a few books about someone gaining power through a game like interface. There is nothing incredibly innovative here. That being said, the story is good and the characters are relatable. Another fun thing about it is that we get very few stories out of Korea in the American market and it’s nice to see a bit more of that culture.

Good but the sound effects are lacking.

Good but the sound effects are lacking.
The narrator is good and the man made sound effects are decent but they dont really add anything while potentially hurting the immersion in select areas

Awesome

Its like the old radio where they make the noise instead of saying the door slammed. If you like Isekai this is somethibg you would like. If you like fantasy novels this is also something youd enjoy.
