Publisher's summary

An unstoppable killing machine is unleashed to do . . . whatever she wants in this fast-paced, action-packed spin-off of the Faceless Minion series.

She's unlike any one or any thing else: a Non-Standard Leashed-Intelligence Cybernetic Enforcer aka NSLICE-00P. The first of her kind, she's let loose into a universe of superheroes on behalf of her sinister masters to destroy all who oppose them.

And everything's going according to plan—until NSLICE-00P gets hacked and sent into the past to kill her own creator before he creates her. Obeying orders as always, she wastes the poor guy. Unfortunately, there are consequences to initiating a reality-breaking time paradox. The most significant: total ejection from that reality.

Now the cyborg finds herself in a world of skills and levels, with the distinct advantage of possessing a dungeon core. She'll have to make her way without orders, programming, or limitations. NSLICE-00P suddenly has a whole new life ahead of her. If only she can keep herself from blowing things up at the drop of a hat, she'll be just fine . . .

The first volume of the hit LitRPG fantasy series—with more than two million views on Royal Road—now available on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and Audible!

Great original story. texts needs adaptation for narration

Original and entertaining story
But the narrator reads the entire main character's character sheet whenever the author included it, the can take upwards or 40min and requires you to manually skip as it's performed in a slow neutral tone. such inclusions can be interesting to skim when writen but translates poorly to an audio book

Great story

I really enjoyed this book it was kind of a cyberpunk into fantasy isekai with the protagonist keeping the cybernetics and modern weapons. I do hope she grows into a more free minded individual in the future.Definitely gonna be getting the next book.

Impressive!

So let me start with I loved this book. I’ve listened to hundreds of books in this general vein by now and a large portion are enjoyable but not much more. This hits the spot for both a logical not brain dead MC and being OP only by their own effort not sheer BS. The humor is light and good. Overall no glaring weaknesses that detract. I won’t quite put as my all time favorite as HWFWM and others may still reign…but still very well done. I’ve already bought the preorder for book two.

Absolutely Hilarious Listen!

This was a great listen. My only issue is the the repetitive stat checks. They are quite long. Even with that I still have it five stars all around! Love the MC and her minions. especially the spider. I highly recommend it to anyone!

So many stats!!

The story was quite good, however, the constant reiterations of the main character’s stats had me fast forwarding for 5 to 10 minutes at a time.

Long stat lists but the rest is pretty good

the stats lists are incredibly long and can last minutes. I like the story a lot though and the narrator is great.

OK story but not great narration.

Pluses:
Fun, somewhat unique idea.

Negative parts:
I find the narrator to be hard to listen to. She uses odd intonations and inflections.
It is perhaps meant to come off as a bit of either emotionless robot or a bit irreverent
and nonchalant but I find it to be grating.

The story is not really very fun once you get beyond the initial basic premise.
Pretty standard LitRPG with OP protagonist but this time with an emotionless robot.
It is possible that it the narration ruined the flow and feel of the story for me as well.

Funny and ridiculous.

I enjoyed the book. Only really annoying character is the rat king guy, but I think he is supposed to be. Good start.

Not Humorous but is entertaining

I have to say. calling this a "humorous" isekai is kind of misleading since there is little humor because nslice is a humorless cyborg who is incapable of referring to herself in first person. Was I supposed to laugh when she face planted or when she mowed down armies of enemies? Or when people are so flabbergasted at her capabilities that they are metaphorically crapping their pants? I didn't but I will give the story credit it does entertain, I had hoped that her human half would get some more growth but it seems book 2 is where that'll happen

Funny, nice action. Has a mostly OP MC

It was a fairly fun listen. My only beef is that the full stats took a long time to read (maybe 15+ minutes?)
