Publisher's summary

The Netherworld: it is a hellish landscape inhabited only by demons, creatures born from the dark abyss. It is also the only world Salvos knows.

Joining the ranks of newborn demons, Salvos is thrown into the violent, anarchy-ruled landscape of that world. To survive, she will have to learn, she will have to adapt, and she will have to evolve. She will gain experience to reach new Levels of power.

Her curiosity aids her but her pride could be her fall. It is the nature of the Netherworld to avoid or conquer any threats faced. After all, the law of evolution is survival of the fittest, and Salvos is a survivor. And perhaps, eventually, she will leave this world behind for a better place. But is that what she even wants?

Salvos is a monster evolution litRPG series that follows the adventures of a Demon girl. It is set inside a game-like world with classes and levels, but it is not inside the world of a video game.

Loved this story!

This story has quite a few of my favorite tropes in it: monsters evolving, monsters learning to cooperate and be "good", great dialogue, and over arching mysteries. The narration was great, and I will certainly be getting the next book in the series when it comes out.

Non human starter

A main charecter that isn't human and doesn't try to be, a wonderful start to a fun adventure

Hooked from the start! Fantastic narrator

This is the first audiobook I've listened to by Tess Irondale and she absolutely killed it! I'm a big fan of Andrea Parsneau and her work on The Wandering Inn series and Tess Irondale just entered the LitRPG scene with a bang. The story is captivating and well written and works well with Tess's narration style - a perfect pair. When is book 2?!

Really enjoyed this story

A well written tale with an interesting premise. I can’t wait for the next story in the series. The narrator did an excellent job bringing Salvos to life. If you enjoy Lit RPGs you will most likely enjoy this tale I know I did.
