Great narration and likeable characters

Revisado: 06-30-24

Bahni knocks it out of the park with her hilarious performance, which brings out the equally hilarious and engaging story about the workings of the super hero business. An extremely great match with both narrator and author. Totally recommended.

Super excellent story and narration

Revisado: 06-19-24

Very wacky, and witty, and excellently narrated. Listening at 1.7x, at least for me, added a zany tempo that enhanced my enjoyment.

Empty of story

Revisado: 10-12-23

After a few hours of listening, I came to the conclusion that this book doesn't have any story. The narrator uses an annoying high pitch voice and all she does is mention how to level herself up in this fictional world. Sure, I haven't looked at the ending if it redeems itself later, but unfortunately, it already earned my ire for being empty of anything aside from describing the rules of a generic litrpg world, and thus, wasting my time.

Very insightful but flawed

Revisado: 01-22-23

With the recent introduction of OpenAI's ChatGPT, I believe the level of introspection on the power of AIs increased. For something that was written a few years earlier, the author shows a plausible outcome of the future of AI. Maybe it's because it didn't do the usual Terminator, or the dictatorial AI leader plotline, that I found the world the author created somewhat insightful. The book described a world where immortality through technology was possible so an order of killers are accepted by society to keep the population in check. This is where the flaw happens, because, as others have already said, there are better ways to limit population than using sanctioned killers. It is quite easy though, to be swept by the book and imagine a possible future where the hubris of man led to a society like this, especially if the reader is young and has less worldly knowledge, or gets in a tunnel vision and may take much longer to find the flaws.
The narration was great and I liked the story, but at the same time, it was a bit slow so it did not make me eager to get to the next part. Maybe I would be harsher if I read this instead of listening to it.

Exhilarating adventure

Revisado: 01-05-20

Could not stop. Kept listening until 5 in the morning until I finished it. The narrator is so good, especially the way he portrayed Eithan's arrogant tone. Lindon and Yerrin continue to improve their arts and are put into very tough situations that they struggle to overcome. So far, the story doesn't let up and keeps me engaged and I can't wait to start on the next one.

Non-stop adventure

Revisado: 10-24-19

Hard to put down. Believable characters, amazing and well thought-out world with a mix of primitive and futuristic cultures with martial arts focus.

Enraptured by the adventure and the performance

Revisado: 10-21-19

Wonderful story similar to wuxia novels but much more original (at least from the few generic ones I've read). Narrator has distinctive voices for all characters and performed them all very well.

Cringeworthy male power trip fantasy game lit

Revisado: 09-29-19

it's not actually game-lit. it's super hero-lit, but the protagonist has access to a stats screen for all his 'party' and can manipulate it, which is typical of the game lit genre. He also gets a harem of super powered slave girls. Anyway, it was entertaining enough in the beginning, but as his power grew, the story started to go through the usual tropes that this genre suffers from.

Engrossing story

Revisado: 05-15-18

If you like RPG lit, this is quite good. Narration is well done and the pace of the story was quite quick. Of course, like most of these type of stories, there is a certain amount of luck that tends to happen to the hero. At least he does use his insight to solve some of his problems.

Oleg needs money to pay for his daughter's operation, and getting employment inside the RPG virtual world could be a quick way to allow him to ask for a loan from the bank. warning, the story ends in a cliff hanger.

Pleasant, light fare

Revisado: 02-26-18

Well acted, light humour. Got a few laughs from me, but overall, I didn't get intensely invested in the characters so only getting average stars from me.
