The Anime Trope System: Stone vs. Viper, Book 1

A LitRPG (ATS)

By: Alvin Atwater

Narrated by: David Reimer

Length: 6 hrs and 14 mins

Publisher's summary

At the mercy of an unknown entity, Clyde gets tossed into the anime world. Yes, it exists, we just don't know it. There, he's declared the Stone, the anime main character. One day, he must kill the Viper, or else it's good-bye, Earth.

This is the comedic tale of a young man vs. cliche anime tropes. Yep, there's nothing like random anime girls falling in love with you...over anything, crazy yanderes, or that girl with the absurd charisma. But hey, at least he's able to level up, just like the RPGs.

Will he find the true purpose of this cruel game, or will the anime tropes consume him?

A lover of character development...

Warning: This audiobook contains sexual content, scenes, and sexual humor fit for anime fans (and ramps up a lot after chapter seven). You have been warned.

The start of something new!

Alvin Atwater has started a new type of book that any anime lover would enjoy. As the name implies the book follows the tropes of anime while starting a story that becomes more fleshed out every book. This is the start of the series and possibly is Alvins first book. It does show in some of his writing, however as someone who is passed book 13. I can say the not only does the story just get better, his capability with writing improves steadily every book. This is a good read though not a family book, I believe most can enjoy this story.

guy in a anime rape world

I really loved it in the beginning a guy from Earth transported to a anime world something I have never read before but then.. all the rape came, I mean srsly... at first the girls act like a anime character but it seems like the author lost that part later on and almost all of the girls act like normal humans at the end,and this isnt the type of anime were the girls are virgins either so it is a bit meh. The mc seem to hate the fact that he gets pushed into these tropes and pretty much starts to bash on every anime, something that was fun to listen to at the beginning but got tedious later on..
Every enemies he meets he will analyze with a skill this will read info about them, but the problem here is that even when there is no new info about them it still gets read ...every single time... I believe the author did this to artificially increase word count of his story not trying to bash or anything but the simple and easy was would be to write that there is no new info instead you hear this repeat over and over and you wonder if your device broke.

Imagine Fox News reading a erotica novel

The story was only meh in my mind. While we're told there is system, the rules of the system felt inconsistent.

Next is the narrator, I felt I was listening to the news, or a ringside announcer. Which was super awkward, especially during all the rape scenes.

Which bring me to the final point, there is only one consensual scene. That's it. So, if this might hurt your sensibilities, I'd recommend staying away. I doubt I'll continue the series.

Loved the concept, but the execution was lacking

I honestly wanted to like this more. The plethora of grammatical errors was staggering. The biggest downfall to this, however, was the narration. I'm not sure if the author requested the most irritating style possible, but that's what we got. It's like he tried to add inflection to every single word he said. Combined with the mispronunciation of the most basic anime terms (it's closer to yan-dare, not yan-duh-ray. It's Japanese, not French), and it becomes a slog just to listen. The only reason I completed the story is because I hate leaving something half finished.

Narrator fails

When every character but the MC is female and there are a lot of characters the narrator should always be female. All harem lit books should be narrated by females. IMPO. David Reimer is decent but horrible at female voices which makes him a very bad fit for this book.

This is the book that got me hooked

Be warned: Once you get to the end of book #1, you'll want to ride this baby out all the way to the end of the season (book #20). This was the first audiobook I ever listened to and chose this based on some great reviews. I hate spoilers and because I've finished the first series (thank you Alvin for the continuation of the story past Season 1, btw), it makes it hard to leave a review of book #1 while having knowledge of the rest of the story. So, I'll say this...Alvin Atwater is a talented dude. He had me laughing my a** off in the parking lot of my work. Every spare second I could find, I was jumping back into this world he created to see what Clyde would do next. It's a fun story that doesn't take itself too seriously but descriptive enough to help you imagine what the characters and places look like. Buy this book, complete the series and you will thank me and all the other people who agree: Atwater knows how to tell a story and keep you interested.

Gross too explicit and kinda funny sex. Plus to much monster rape

Ewwww yet haha
Narrator not very good it’s more like henti trope system and the rape is not so thing to joke about and sex senes were funny and not hot they were just gross and funny the narrator did a bad anime girl noises the fact that he was talking about her squirt and wet ecstasy and her riding like a machine and not just one like 20 girls in 5 min short book other sotory great. Maybe hint the sex but don’t describe it to that fact that it’s described like henti and porn that bad

great

just two short and I want to punch the system in the face. time for part two

Fun and great!

If you like litrpgs, and harem books you will love this one, I can’t wait for the next one.

It's ok

Interesting concept, the analyze thing was downright annoying mid way through, adult tone was oddly placed but over had decent story and good humor
