About this listen

Follow an unfortunate soul who has been thrown into a fantasy world with nothing. He is quickly railroaded into joining the Legion and has to develop under harsh conditions while slowly discovering his potential power.

This story has light LitRPG elements with a stat and magic advancement system. The MC is not overpowered and experiences the pain of growth as he tries to find a place in the strange new world while staying alive. Neither are coming easy to him as his Legion Company is constantly in harm's way.

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.

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.

What a great POV

It is of course a little rocky in the beginning, but how the author brings color and shape to his people are amazing! Would recommend!

Could not put it down.

I've listened to all three and in less than a week. Do yourself a favor and buy this one.
