Headshot Online

The Complete Series: (A LitRPG Box Set: Books 1-3)

By: Matthew Siege

Narrated by: Vikas Adam

The Headshot Online Box Set is a LitRPG adventure set in a post-apocalyptic virtual world featuring hordes of undead. It's perfect for fans of Daniel Schinhofen, Tao Wong, and C.M. Carney.

Headshot has just gone live, and the whole world's playing the new Artificial Reality blockbuster. Unfortunately, unless you can buy your way onto the Survivor's side, you can only participate as a Zombie. Each week, the forces gather to tear each other down to the bone...until, at week’s end, the Apocalypse is reset.

Ryan's played the Beta for months, but now that his favorite game has launched, he finds it consuming his life - even as he struggles to decipher whether or not there's actually a way to succeed if you're not willing to Pay to Win.

But he’s got bigger problems to deal with. There’s something sinister going on beneath the surface of Headshot, and it looks like he’s wrapped up in it whether he likes it or not.

Narrated by the award-winning Vikas Adam (Divine Dungeon Series, Ritualist).

Books included in the set:
Book One: One in the Gut
Book Two: Two in the Head
Book Three: Three in the Heart

It was a good start, but….

The first book was supreme in its simplicity and elegance. The second book, however, was lazy and yet pedantic at the same time; it over analyzed every detail of the story and then drops a huge cliffhanger that isn’t needed. I write this review with most of the third book remaining because I simply couldn’t force myself to listen to anymore. The third book is where I hoped the series would be saved, yet it disappointed me in a confusing and nonsensical twist of mind numbing repetition. I recommend that, for the lack of better phraseology, the first book be handled as a standalone and the other two dropped.

phenomenal listen

it was a phenomenal listen, and I am very glad I did so. without any spoilers, there was a hiccup in the plot towards the middle of the third book that I felt was very detached from the rest of the series. having slogged through it, it finished well enough to give an enjoyable closure to a overwhelmingly enjoyable trilogy. the performance was amazing, and the storytelling was captivating.

mediocre

book 1 was awesome, book 2 kinda sucked, book 3 was ok. too much self reflection in book 2 and was difficult to get engaged.

great start with a downward trend

first book was great, second book wasn't as good but still enjoyed it, 3rd book almost made me stop listening to it. It was starting to get hard to follow, a lot of the story started to not make sense, there's a whole chapter or more about killing and engorging on children that was sickening.( I know it was not in his control, blah blah.. but it was extremely distasteful and not to the benefit of the story) and then the ending sounded like a cliffhanger, but then the epilog sounded like it was written like a middleschool book report on the bus to school

Awesome books

Great story and great voice acting very highly recommend especially if you like zombies or littpg tiles
