Baneslayer

A LitRPG Fantasy Adventure

De: Tim Paulson

Narrado por: Tim Paulson

In a world of secrets, he who holds the answers holds the power.

Nathan Cheng, known professionally as Nil, is anything but ordinary. With his fourth consecutive game jam win in the bag, he has a lot of big ideas for his own game studio, though he lacks the resources to make them real. Even if he did, the gaping hole in his heart from the untimely death of his sister last year has left him angry and bitter. If only he could have been there.

When he wakes up in an arcane world with a system he knows very well, he’s given an ultimatum: defeat the dark king...or die. If he can succeed, he can return home on the day before his sister was murdered. The catch is, like every light warrior, he must begin at level one.

Nil must use his knowledge of the system to empower himself before he's overwhelmed by the armies of the dark. It's a good thing he has a perfect memory.

The System of Nil is a deep litRPG series where the game system is far more complex than it appears, with thousands of hidden secrets and mechanics. Every powerful weapon, item, and skill is gated behind tricks, traps, and unimaginable horrors. To prevail, Nil must be a skilled warrior, investigator, crafter, and monster hunter. It’ll take more than just brains. He’ll need a mountain of grit and guts. But that’s just fine. He wouldn’t have it any other way.

Good.

Usually very leery of authors voicing their work, but I did like his voice, very pleasant. The story was ok, although formulaic. I started to hate Shen half way through, constant whining and nagging. But I applaud the author for finishing the book and not leaving us on a cliffhanger.

really injoy this book

I'm waiting for the second book to come out. I really injoy this book because of the MC and the story. The Narrator was a good pick for this story.

A perfect mix of complexity and clarity!

"Baneslayer" by Tim Paulson, narrated by the author, is a litRPG gem. Paulson's writing is a perfect mix of complexity and clarity, and his narration adds authenticity to the immersive journey of Nathan Cheng. Dive into this gripping fantasy adventure where the game system's intricacies and Nil's quest from level one make for an exhilarating read.

Slay

An amazing experience that I will not soon forget the Voice work the characters all come together to deliver a complete and utterly amazing experience

Good listen

I saw some other reviews and I can understand some of their complaints. I did overall enjoy this story though, and believe that no issue really hurt the overall effect.

Very good

Good on the Author for narrating the book himself.

Overall, the story was good, but I felt the MC wasn't challenged enough and at times the story was a bit fast paced.

Very interesting and likable book

I’m really in joyed this book I’m not really sure if a book too is needed. I loved how he became over powered maybe to soon, but it was a complete
Satisfying and felt you could have been done. So I will be looking for book 2 it just has to be a hole lot better

Better than expected

LitRPG is a new genre for me and I love it. my husband has been trying to get me to read it but I just hadn't. I'm so glad I stumbled upon this! I loved the storyline and the characters. The world building was great! The narrator was pretty awesome too! I loved how he did the voices! Crates and Shana were my favorites! Nil was great but towards the end he started to get more reckless and disrespectful and I didn't too much care for him at that point. it was almost like the power was going to his head. Loved the ending and can't wait for part 2! She was in love the entire time!

*I received a complementary copy from the author and am voluntarily leaving a review.

started out strong

I was very interested in this book at the start but as I progressed in the storyline, I became bored. the formula/pattern was the same throughout the book, so it became somewhat predictable, and I remained neutral with my feelings towards MC, I haven't quite completed, still have about 2 hours to go, but I have taken a break and moved to another book. I'll eventually come back to it, but I needed to break the monotony .

Good

I really enjoyed the premise and storyline of this book. The author really knows how to write really compelling action stories that just keep you wanting more and more. The narration is okay, but for an author who narrates there own books. I'd say it's better than I would've thought. Baneslayer by Tim Paulson is a tale of fantasy and adventure following the MC Nil. He is a beast when it comes to fighting and I couldn't have it any other way.
The characters in this story are compelling with most characters adding much needed depth and unique personalities to the story. I feel like the female side of characters is a little skewed. When you read this story, you might realize what I'm talking about.
This story is captivating in its own right and it is perfect for newcomers or veterans of this genre. This story does follow some troupes of the Litrpg genre, but Tim makes the book amazing with twists and turns in the story at every little corner.
