Publisher's summary

One man. Assassin. Caster. A new world. And a game that is as brutal as it is complex.

Michael finds himself in the realm of the Forever Kingdom, with no memory of how he got there and who he is. Even so, he must participate in the Grand Game and forge a new destiny for himself.

Dropped into a dungeon of monsters and strange magics, would you survive in a game where to lose means death?

Alone, and with little more than his wits to aid him, Michael must advance as a player, slay his foes, and gain experience. All while navigating the intrigues around him and discovering his purpose.

A world of powers, forces, and mysterious factions. A game with endless opportunities for advancement and power.

Join Michael on his epic adventure as he deals with the game's challenges, the machinations of the powers, and the ambitions of his fellow players.

The start of an exciting new portal fantasy epic!

Worth it

I enjoyed this tale and am looking forward to the next installment. The narrator was easy to listen to and did a great job. I would recommend this to anyone that likes litrpgs.

Immersive adventure

This has been one of my favorite reads this year. I discovered it by chance, and I could not stop both listening and reading each and every chapter. This series is perfect for any DnD, isekai, or overall fantasy lover out there. Do not sleep on this one! I've listened to the first 4 books, and I can't wait for the rest!

Good Start

This is a really good beginning to the series. I'm really excited for the possibilities moving forward which, imo, is all you can hope for with the first book of the series.

Overall, I'm very satisfied with this purchase

Not bad, but the MC makes no sense

The overall story the author is building is interesting, and the system is decent. This is LitRPG through isekai means, but uses the amnesia trope, which is annoying. The amnesia does somewhat account for the fact that the MC is dumb, but his decision making makes no sense other than it furthers the plot. I picked up the second volume of this series, and if these issues bother you, then skip it. The decision making only gets worse, and the MC lives through plot armor alone. This includes forgetting everything he learned in the this book, forgetting he is a scout, and generally just wandering intentionally from problem to problem due to some unnamed suicidal tendency.

As to the story itself. It is a dungeon crawl for the first half of the book, and faction wars within the dungeon for the second. The combat is decent, and is frequent. The characters are all horrible tropes. The interplay between the characters makes little sense.
