Restart Again, Book 1

By: Adam Ladner

Narrated by: Alex Knox

Length: 8 hrs and 38 mins

Publisher's summary

All of the stories you've heard are wrong. They always tell you that starting a new life in a fantasy world is an amazing experience, full of magic, adventure, and true love...but they never tell you what happens when it's over. They don't tell you that it just happens again. And again. By the time you start your third new life in a row, all of that initial amazement wears off.

That's where Lux finds himself now: dropped into yet another fantasy world, forced to restart his life all over again. Having lost the people he loved twice over, he wants nothing more than to disappear and live a life of solitude...but it seems the world has other plans for him.

started off strong, but quickly got tedious

interesting premise.
but most of the book is dedicated to how the protagonist feels about his ambiguous relationship with a girl decades younger than him.
MC "discovers" new ways to use magic that would have been long discovered in any world that had magic for longer than a few decades.
apparently it only takes a couple weeks to become a master swordfighter.

The narration was stiff and delivered with such deliberately careful annunciation that the characters didn't feel like real people.

I'm being overly negative, it's not bad, but not good.

rascal does dream of bunny girl senpai

really wanted to like it more than I have so far.

I am far more interested in the flash backs than the current story where the mc keeps fucking up.

ignore the poor reviews this is a good book!

I originally passed on this book because of the poor reviews. I continued to just ignore it whenever it came up based on those reviews. however, having read through nearly 1,000 books over the past 3 years, I ran out of things to read. that meant it was time to hit the maybe never pile.

I was surprised to find a well edited and entertaining story. a main character who has been through hardship and tragedy and come out the other side with a strong will but who would love some peace and quiet. Sadly, that's not in the cards for him, and to protect those he cares about, he is forced to engage with the world.

I don't understand why the reviews are so bad on this book, and it almost seems like an organized attempt to shut down the author. I hope you give it a try and find it as enjoyable as I have.

it is ok

Had a lot of potential but fell short. I love the idea of the book but the story is lagging, I do the writing stial so 3/5

bland

It's a fun story idea but the delivery is just to slow. There's no purpose to anything the MC is doing. No entertaining goals or plot points worth thinking about. MC does something stupid, ends up in prison, and just sits there when he didn't do anything worth keeping him there for.

interesting

The idea behind the book is a very interesting one and I can somewhat get behind the mc's way of thinking so no worries there. Where it loses points for me is that the whole book seems like it was a short prolog story that got dragged out an extra 2 hours.

fun book with an unsatisfying ending

the book was fine I enjoyed the characters and the story. it started off fun but then it got really slow in the middle, and then the end was just like "slap" all the sudden. but it wasn't that satisfying I don't want to spoil anything so I'm not really going to go into it.
just know it's a fun book but no masterpiece.

good but

For what happens in the story, it was pretty decent. it seems a little short. More like half a book. besides it being short, I like the premise and the characters were pretty great.

I'm not sure what the plot is

so far I'm 3/4 done with the book and I still don't know what the plot of the story is. I believe it has really good potential but wish it would have presented itself sooner.

I will continue to listen to the stories.

It wasn't bad

It was alright.... wonder what is going to happen next? Blah blah blah blah blah
