Good story, poor voices

Revisado: 04-18-25

I haven’t finished the book yet but I already I know I like it because I read the whole thing on Patreon. I bought the audio book so I could relisten and hear the tone used for better context. I don’t mind most of the main characters voices, I was iffy at first but they’ve grown on me, but I am so disappointed in the voice for Sion. He sounds like a kooky old country hillbilly, not the young heir of a rich, well established mercantile group. It’s so jarring and really grates cuz I actually really like Sions character. Otherwise the story is great. Such a shame there are so many whiny-voiced characters, like Aberfa(and as I’m starting to suspect) every other witch.

Phenomenal story, even better than the first book

Revisado: 10-07-24

This may have just become my favorite story in the litrpg genre. 18hr stories run the risk of dragging on too long but I was hooked every second. There are so many things about this I loved, especially the unexpected twists. I hate that it had to end. I’ll be eagerly awaiting the third book

A great find

Revisado: 10-03-24

I had a feeling I’d like this one but I didn’t anticipate likening this as much as I do. I’ll definitely be re-listening soon, which isn’t something I do for just any story. I literally couldn’t stop listening, I was so sad when it ended cuz when I started this story it was the only book in the series. I had no idea when the next book was coming, so imagine my delight to find the 2nd book had been released without my knowing just the day prior. Suffice to say, I will be jumping into the next book promptly.

Not what I hoped for(minor spoilers)

Revisado: 09-29-24

I had high hopes for this story, but to be frank, it was a painful listen. Basically the entire middle half of the book had me constantly cringing and rolling my eyes at just how cheesy it was. One character in particular really irked me: Jello. She’s constantly crying, especially near the end of her arc. I say arc, but she was a major character for like 6+hours of the book. The author also has a terrible habit of summarizing conversations very briefly. Like “they bonded over their lack of paternal figures” or something along those lines. The author also overuses “The boys” as a way to refer to the group as one entity all doing the exact same action. Like are they three distinct people or are they conjoined in some strange amalgamation? There was a severe lack of detail in places all throughout the story really. It’s a shame. I was looking forward to this series, but I just can’t take it seriously. I mean really, why are sentient, intelligent, super powerful(or potential to be powerful) bear monsters named Jello and Flow? They’re named like they are pets. I think they should have had more fantasy themed names. Something like Astara or Ayasha or Nymeria. Something mystical. Not a food that I’m not even sure exists in this hypothetical world.

That’s my TED talk. I know this author hasn’t written much, so maybe my criticism is quite harsh, but there’s plenty of room to improve.

Trying to escape the gross anime in this genre? Well don’t do it here

Revisado: 09-21-24

Audible would let me return this title, unfortunately. Too bad, because frankly, I don’t even want it in my library, let alone will I be listening any further. My experience with LitRPGs have been pleasantly non-pervy up until this point, alas all good things must come to an end. If I wanted to see barely of age girls being sexualized I wouldn’t be consuming this genre through audiobooks. Anime and manga have that stuff in spades. I hope to never accidentally buy something like this again. RIP my credit, you could have gone towards one of the many Andrew Rowe books I’ve bought.

A fun listen

Revisado: 09-21-24

I liked the story, and I have already gotten the sequel. The characters are likable and I’ve liked the stuff they’ve gotten up to so far. The writing is kind of amature, but not so much so I was unable to continue. It got cheesy at times, kind of like when kids shows have those really cliche bits about friendship and stuff. Still, an enjoyable experience. I’ll definitely keep up with this series as they come. Love me a no-romance LitRPG.

Engaging to my picky, highly specific taste: Fantastic!

Revisado: 09-08-24

Amazing story, amazing performance(as expected from Nick Podehl), would highly recommend. No gross half dressed girls that are common in this genre(what a blessing) and the story was just genuinely interesting. The thing with Jin at the end dealt me psychic damage tho, lemme tell you. I’m excited to start the next story.
