An easy, fun, and funny read with somewhat disappointing ending.

Revisado: 01-10-25

I don't want to discuss spoilers too much, but I feel like the ending was way too neat. I suppose I can accept that the characters in this story are high powered business people who lack empathy and are used to using people like pawns, but the Main Character should definitely have been much more upset than he was about how he was used, emotionally manipulated, and left in the cold. The cat was quite literally the only saving grace.

the best of what Litrpg has to offer

Revisado: 12-14-23

This is what I think about when I think about what an isekai litrpg should look like. While this type of story is not my favorite, I can very much appreciate how well executed this is by the author. Alexander Wales understands the essence of what makes tabletop role-playing games entertaining, and he skillfully entwines all of those elements in the pages of this book.

listen to if you enjoy the Wandering Inn

Revisado: 11-24-23

This is my favorite type of dungeon fantasy because its an actual story and not just the dull dnd character log otherwise known as "Litrpg". The characters all feel like authentic individuals grounded in their reality. The author does a fantastic job of differentiating their personalities and playing with the interactions between them as it relates to forming a dungeon party. At its heart, it's a found family story about a band of misfits coming together to form a dungeoneering party and finding themselves and each other in the process. But the world itself also feels unique, vast, and well-thought-out.

I'm still pretty early in the story, so the comparison to the Behemoth that is The Wandering Inn is probably unmerited, but reading this story does have them same feel as reading the Wandering inn, if maybe on a much smaller scale (for now). it's a very peaceful and easy read so far, unlike the Rollercoaster of emotions that is The Wandering Inn.

The Narrator also does a very good job with the accents, though occasionally, I think they get confused as to who is talking and use the wrong character voice. Overall, I highly recommend this. it's easy listening , and this series deserves more attention on this platform.

Doesn't rise above being a generic litrpg/Xianxia

Revisado: 06-13-22

The premise is initially interesting and fun, but the actual storyline just isn't very interesting.

A Must Listen for Fantasy Fans

Revisado: 07-29-21

Excellent writing. Excellent narration. Excellent storytelling. Excellent world building. Excellent character development.

The only negative thing you can say about pirateaba's world of stories are that they are almost too vast for their own good. Things can sometimes seem unfocused, and it can take hundreds of pages before you return to the "main characters" stories. I think The Wandering Inn would benefit from having certain books be divided into side novels or novellas (particularly the Wistram Days chapters), but it's really hard to complain because the quality of writing never dips. I enjoy every moment of Rags' story as well as every moment of Erin and Ryoka's.

As good as an actual audiobook

Revisado: 12-10-20

Hands down the best webnovel I've ever read. Jack Voraces is a great narrator, and the fact that this audiobook is free makes this a automatic listen if you're into sci-fi/fantasy .

meandering at times, but worth it

Revisado: 11-12-20

Contrary to many opinions, I actually really enjoy the direction the story has gone in. Though, I do believe the flashbacks could have been integrated in a better way, like in a standalone novella. That being said, the things this story does right far outweighs the things it does wrong. I love that the author isn't afraid to give his protagonist real flaws and internal conflict. Those things along with the impressive world building really separate this series from the standard "reincarnation fantasy Litrpg" fare.

The best free audible original.

Revisado: 09-26-19

The best thing about the book is the production. The performance, music, sound editing all join together to make this what it is. This is one of the very few times where the added production actually adds real value to the experience and makes the story much more than it would have been if just read like a normal book.

The story itself is a YA magic school story about believing in yourself. it has a lot of tropes, but it's well-written and unique enough to feel fresh and keep your attention.
I would very highly reccomend this, especially considering the fact that you get get it for free with an audible subscription.

Great story and Great performance

Revisado: 12-13-18

Brandon Sanderson is in his prime right now. This is the perfect little sci fi diversion from his more hardcore fantasy books. Keep in mind though, that is isnt part of the Cosmere universe. It may not be the most original story, but Sanderson is so talented at executing realistic world building and dialogue that it doesnt really matter. just enjoy the fun ride.

It's a great standalone story and doesnt create too much of a cliffhanger at the end, but I would love another addition.

Sanderson in prime form

Revisado: 12-09-18

if you loved the stormlight books, you'll love this.
it has a lot of the same themes, and provides really great background information on nightblood and Azure/Vivenna.

Also, Lightsong is very possibly my new favorite character of all Sanderson's books.
