Still fun, but still unoriginal

Revisado: 02-06-25

I won't say it's a bad audiobook (narrator did a fabulous job as usual), but the authors are still lifting ideas and characters wholesale from existing works. Resident Evil, Final Fantasy 14, Kirby, Majora's Mask... come on guys, you're better than that.

Fun, but terribly original

Revisado: 02-01-25

The author put together a fun, light-hearted story, but basically stole the concepts behind every major character from video games or movies.

Pretty much what it says on the tin. If you're already this far into the series we all know you're going to have a listen anyway, but prepare to enjoy!

Telling This Story So We Can Tell You the Next One

Revisado: 04-29-24

Pretty much what it says on the title. Lots of fleshing out of character for the crew, but it felt very much like a interim to lead us into a better version the next novel in the series. Lots of Firefly-esque space opera adventure, it was quite enjoyable. My only gripes were the cliffhanger(s?) and the oddly frequent variations of the narrator's volume. For whatever reason he was often quiet-loud-quiet-loud, but excellent otherwise. Might have been a technical issue, not sure.

If you liked Firefly

Excellent story, good character variety, decent world-building, and tasty references to the Dire series. :)

Good Entry for a Longer Series

Revisado: 01-12-24

Excellent narration, good hook for future story arcs. My only gripes are that a) there isn't a great deal of character development for a novel that ostensibly is focused on its characters and b) you are forced to listen to a lot of internal monologuing over 2 characters' (lack of) lovelife. I didn't sign up for a romance novel in the first place, and I got pretty tired of hearing will he/won't he diatribes over and over and over.

Excellent Story, Even better Narration

Revisado: 12-22-23

Honestly the narrator was what really made me enjoy this book the most - something like an auditory lovechild of Mr Smith from the Matrix and the host of the Twilight Zone. It was love at first monologue.

The biggest plot twist is also quite interesting. It's not quite as mind-blowing as, say, the 6th Sense, but I appreciated how the author disguised it as comedy relief up until the big reveal.

Highly recommend!

Don't Worry, Just Keep Listening...

...the most annoying character gets his comeuppance after not too long. The author doesn't make you sit through excessive amounts of that particular flavor of garbage human behavior.

Oh Thank Christ

...The general plot managed to avoid the tidal wave of garbage self-inserting wish-fufillment that authors like to call "litrpg" to sell their fanfiction to more of us poor, ignorant shmucks.

Without spoiling things: yes the book lives up to its summary. No, the MC is not the village idiot OR the try-hard edgelord OR the snowflake chosen one. Or even a teenager, for once. Honorary mentions for managing to portray even a sliver of how heartbreaking a regularly-scheduled apocalypse would really be... but also remembering all the reasons why we all watch way too many cat videos.

And kudos as usual to Jeff and Annie for their stellar voice acting. You guys had way too much fun with the credits, haha.
