Reincarnation Trials: A LitRPG Apocalypse

By: Han Yang

Narrated by: Daniel Wisniewski, Rebecca Woods

Defeat the monsters, become the champion, save the survivors.

A sliver of humanity abandons Earth, forced into the skies because genetically enhanced monsters rule the world. Four hundred years later, the Salvation Fleet returns, desperate to unload their overcrowded decks. Darcy—the AI mastermind who controls the fleet—uses competitions called the Reincarnation Trials to determine who becomes a council member and who earns the right to join the first colony.

Theo achieves Citizen status after a decade of arduous training and is thrust into the Reincarnation Trials. Ready to help humanity survive, he enters the Snagglewood competition. The theme is a western, where he defends humanity against the monsters invading its shores. While he strives for first on the leaderboards, the real world calls for his help.

After being gone for so long, Earth transitions into a very dangerous place filled with narocks who call the overgrown jungles and forests home. Hidden among the terrors, pockets of humanity cower under the surface, most of them in urgent need of rescue.

all kinds of nope

when the MC says he believes the women in this story shouldn't be allowed to choose to have children, i turned this stupid book off. the story is the worst kind of teenage power fantasy. the MC is such a guy guy and constantly has to fend off the sexual advances of nearly every woman he meets. id like to think that in 2022 we could be past this kind of misogyny.

nope for Han Yang.

....ok, i didnt stop reading immediately. i thought maybe i was being too rash. i finally REALLY stopped reading for real when he describes that a captive woman would be properly brainwashed or "bred" and her children taken away. so gross.

Wow What an Amazing Story

this book has easily moved to the top 10 of my book list. I feel like i end up saying this a lot but i can't wait for the next book to come out. The Story was great had me invested in listening to each little detail even had to rewind a few times to make sure I didn't miss something. Characters were relatable and got me to have a vested interest in their wellbeing.

Puzzling

I seldom write reviews but felt compelled to do so with this novel. The story was quite complex and editorially cleaner than most recently published novels. The plot was gripping but fell short of what it could be. I did not like the main character at all. I am not certain how he could continue on his trajectory fully cognizant that the AI was manipulating him. I question the author’s political alignment and maybe this is what caused the unease and dissatisfaction in the unfolding story line. Not a story to be read lightly and does cause a lot of self reflection.

Good storyline

Avatar+ Hunger Games +West World + Land of the Lost.

Took a little of each and baked a cake. Action, adventure, mystery and a sprinkling of romance.

Really enjoyed rather storyline. The narrator could of had a little better voice fluctuation…. But different voices spot on. Different from anything I’ve listened to. Usually prefer apocalyptic…. This was great take on how humanity would survive and evolve

Well worth the credit

A lot of promise

very conflicted about this book. I really enjoy the premise and storytelling. But the drastic changes in attitude and reactions in different settings for the main character, along with the large gaps and flaws in many of the side characters that showed at exactly the right time to move the story forward got a bit annoying.
