Acerca de esta escucha
It’s never been easy being a high schooler, and for four students stuck in detention, it’s about to get a whole lot harder. After opening a magical board game they find in a dark closet during detention, each is teleported to another world—the world of Byzantium.
What’s worse: this place is in trouble. A slave rebellion has overrun entire cities, and barbarians from the east and west are on the march. On top of that, fantastic monsters and mystical warriors have joined the fray, throwing Byzantium into chaos. Our four high school students find themselves in four different bodies, taking four different sides in the conflict. Each must now fight desperately to survive.
Byzantine Wars is the first book in a complete trilogy: an historical fantasy isekai with LitRPG elements. Enjoy four different main characters with varying strengths and weaknesses, deeply immersive world-building, and endless humor and adventure. And, most importantly: don’t let the farr fade.

Historia
The 42nd Merging arrives, mass-transporting every human to a hostile new world with a System. Everyone must choose a Class, and Quest directives compel them to climb the leaderboards for categories like highest level… and most kills of other people. Jordan isn’t anyone special before the Merging, but the new start equalizes the playing field. He must exploit his versatile class to overcome powerful monsters and opportunistic strangers who kill people as a quick path to power.

Historia
In the year 5199, Zorai Tenebrae logs into the world’s most immersive video game—Omniscape, the game that has swallowed the minds of billions. It is boundless. Infinite. Unbeatable. The war never ends. The factions never sleep. And no one ever asks the right questions. Until him. But Omniscape is not just a game. It’s a prison. A recursive veil laid over the truth—a video game so perfectly engineered that not even Zorai, especially not Zorai, knows what it is.

Historia
Azetla has served the Maurowan Army for thirteen years. There are seven left to pay. A pariah and a debt soldier, he is a commander with no rank, a soldier without citizenship, and wears a sword that it is unlawful for him to either own or use. He has learned to hold his tongue or risk losing everything. When Azetla’s battalion is sent into the desert to catch a Sahr devil—one of the famously brutal inhabitants of the region—his tenuous position is threatened. He discovers that there is far more to this mission than catching a fiend.

The good:
I bought this one because I loved the idea of a historically-based RPG. The author does a good job with the Byzantine aspects of the setting, in the sense of capturing the over-all feel of Byzantium's culture and politics. The factions are clear and well-laid-out, the plot makes sense, and the over-all story concept was good. If this were an RPG--instead of LitRPG--it would be playable.
The bad:
I'm not a fan of overt politics in my litRPG on either side. If it's a Trump-bash or a Trump-fest, it's not great escapism for me. If a reader is more tolerant of litRPG with a bit of a left slant, based on the point I reached (full disclosure, didn't complete), that's where it looks to be going. The invocation of Franz Fanon's Wretched of the Earth in the preview kind of indicated that was where we were headed with at least one character, but there are a lot of frankly stereotypical interpretations of American politics. Off-putting for me, but your milage may very.
The ugly:
So, I think the narrator might be new? The pacing in the sentences was weird, pronunciations were inconsistent throughout, and, while you can tell character voices apart, it was really hard to adjust to the pacing and cadence of speech.
Like I said, good concept, and if the politics were toned down and narration cleaned up I'd have enjoyed it. If you're coming to this looking for a good Byzantine fantasy, read the Belisarius saga, and for a historical Isakai, try Portal to Nova Roma.
Good concept, flawed execution, weird narration.
