A very fun listen

Fantastic story and very interesting magic system. Both the first and second books are great can’t wait for the third!

surprisingly amazing

I took a chance on this based on the solid reviews and am very glad that I did.

the life

I liked everything liked where is the credt of the books supposedly book 4 almost completed but no where in sight.

great story

awesome story with a ton of action. it's sad how many people end up dying but it's more realistic. it had a very gritty premise and the characters are very realistic and easy to emphasize with. one of my favorite main characters in a while. he is quick on his feet and a capable warrior with understandable vices. not a ton of clichéd idiotic traits.

Great world building

I enjoyed the excellent character development in the book. The pacing was well done, and I appreciate the "gritty" aspect mentioned in the reviews. The only issues I had with the story were necessary for its progression (i.e., “Why does the MC keep pushing this if he is terrified of consequences?”). The primary and side characters are likable and well-developed, but I am worried about their safety. The world-building is impressive. I'm particularly interested in learning more about the central empire in which our main character is based and the "enemy" empire.

Hooks you from the beginning

It was a joy to listen to. The book carried the story well from the beginning to end.

Awesome

Loved the book, the pacing, the narrator, the adventure... I need more!!! Can't wait till the next books in the series come out!!!!

Now this is a true GameLit!!!

Dang, this is really good. Not just cool system good, but character development and absolutely well written. 10/10!!! Next book please!

This was highly entertaining!💜

I wasn’t sure what to expect but I was pleasantly surprised. I really enjoyed this book. It has many aspects that I enjoyed, such as paranormal/fantasy, action, adventure as well as drama and intrigue.
I loved the characters and the way there roles come together.
I almost wished I hadn’t started this series until it was completed. I don’t like waiting for the next book, instead I prefer to binge my series if possible. Especially when the stories are not standalone.
That said, I can’t wait for the next book in this series.
The narration was absolutely amazing. Jonathan Waters has the perfect voice for this genre and this series in particular. I hope the author continues to use him to tell his stories.
This is book 1 and continues to the next story.
I highly recommend this book.

Just wow

This is my first Litrpg book I’ve done and just wow
I’m completely and utterly hooked
I got so soaked into the story that I went Crunchyroll to watch this because I got it in my head that I was watching anime not listening to a book

The story is captivating the narrator does a fantastic job
10/10 would recommend to anyone who’s into DND or fantasy
I hope this turns into a long series because this has so much potential for world building
