Publisher's summary

Multiverse Z came knocking, snatching all the humans from Earth to integrate with their game-like realms of magic.

No warning. No tutorial. It's an instant transition where eighteen-year-old Joey Eclipse is thrust from his relaxing night playing video games to a stone room with two doors. There's nobody but him.

The system messages asking some cryptic questions:

[Adventurer or Commoner?]

[Greatness or Steadiness?]

And more.

Joey made his choices, choosing the path of a Great Adventurer, a limited and special category. A unique profile is designed for him. A new realm with endless possibilities and vicious monsters awaits him. The perfect environment to test his powerful spells and many skills and grow within the multiverse system. Despite the challenges from these drastic changes, Joey can't help but smile.

He's excited to ascend the realms of Multiverse Z.

Join Joey on a new apocalypse initialization where humans from his old world are integrated into a game-like universe filled with multiple realms with various fantasy themes. In this LitRPG are levels, stats, skills, spells, achievement hunts, and a main character who's more action-orientated and a bit ruthless when facing PVP or PVE events.

The build up!

Starts slow and the actors voice is very stable.
But it gets better until you’re thinking YES!!! DOMINATE!!!

nice

a nice book fun power combination that was used in interesting ways. the narrator is solid

Name of book is deceptive. 

I really tried to like the book, and I thought because of the name it was going to be about rogue type stuff assassins, thief, playing the dark role. Nope just a hero doing hero stuff which is fine just not the book for me. Good and evil are subjective to me so I hate when books are so black/white, good/evil it leave no room for suspense because you know what the “hero” is going to do. Ex: I just put my life at risk fighting something 20 lvls above me for ppl I don’t know and split the loot with them, even thought I did most of the work all for a thank you Adventurer. The only thing different about this book from other Litrpgs is the storyline. The one thing I love though is the the MC is black.

Really fun listen, love the concept

This was hard to put down, it was interesting and fun with some laughs, I’m eagerly awaiting the next book.

What a fun ride

A lot of fun. Literature as it should be. A social statement with a lot of thrills written for the intended audience.

Chef’s kiss!

This was such a good! Can not wait to start book 2! What a blast!

Possibly My New Fav

I dare say it’s unseated He Who Fights With Monsters as my favorite LitRPG - which is no small feat. Loving it so far and can’t wait to read the next one.

will be reading this series

super awesome. definitely worth a credit. put it top 10 litrpg series. granted it is the first book so we will see. but I'm willing to bet on Joey eclipse!

Great MC

Writing was great. The performer did a great job narrating characters. I only 4 starred because there were a a few, and I mean like maybe once or twice tops, when the narrative was a bit confusing. But the writing by hunter mythos made me buy extra credits and get the next book in the series. Even though I get credits through the subscription. No actually I’m going to give the performance 5 stars because even though there was those hiccups he did an amazing job.

How the eff...?

How does a level 1 have the stats to move his -anything faster than a level 10 can process? why are all of the creatures and characters that the main character meets so weak at such high levels? why does a rogue not require sneaking or stealth of any kind? why is a rogue a front line fighter with magic that lets him clone himself several times with each clone being able to breath dragon fire?
I think I'm really just stuck on the character being a rogue and getting to choose his racial and elemental attunements as though not everyone would pick an elemental dragon or Phoenix if given half a chance. and why does a rogue have extreme luck?
the performance is okay, though the main character and the kraken who accompany him sound like the same person talking to himself. the rest of the characters are different enough that it comes out well enough.
I guess I'm just not impressed.
