When our protagonist, Andrei, discovers that his girlfriend has cheated on him, he finds himself with an unexpected choice to make: a quick death or a new life in another world he knows absolutely nothing about.

Andrei chooses life and sets off alongside his pet, a ginger cat with a limp, for a primeval world fraught with danger. The trouble is...who is whose pet becomes entirely unclear; the man's consciousness is split between both creatures, and the little cat gets a far greater share of intelligence and wit than his hulking master. What do you do as a weak little kitty? Abandon the clumsy human who always seems to get into trouble and go in search of a new master? Or protect your human body in the hope of one day returning to it?

I wasn't expecting much when I started this book, the main character seemed somewhat like a thug; a bit dumb and brutish. But I gave it a chance because it had a cute kitten in it that somehow was a main character. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that this was actually somewhat of a buddy comedy with the kitten being the smarter of the two.

The POV is shared between the two main characters, with chapters alternating between the two perspectives constantly shifting how a scene can be interpreted. in some cases a scene will be revisited from the other perspective to give additional context. The dynamic is a bit odd with both characters attempting to survive with one having the capabilities to act and the other struggling to do so when he knows better. the strange thing is is that this pattern actually kind of works.

The book isn't always haha funny but it is greatly entertaining and fun to see where a main character is clearly making mistakes while somehow being "lucky" enough to survive and even often succeed in crazy plans. All the while the reason for a success is sitting right next to him as a lucky charm with four paws.

This is clearly a Russian translation with some aspects of the culture and history only Russians might know showing through a few times in the book, but overall it was not distracting.

There is a bit of a cliffhanger at the end, but certainly worth picking up the next book for.

A Sneaky Buddy Comedy in the LitRPG genre

I couldn't put this book down. Like all of his books, it's incredibly imaginative and makes me want to play D&D. Dive in and swim like a fish!

Such a fun ride!

AWSOME STORYLINE

I could listen to a whole story just on whiskers. Such an enjoyable title, with compelling characters. Could do without the furry love though.

Love the cat

Sure, it is just LitRPG (and presumably a harem series, although that's just a guess), but it was more entertaining and interesting than I expected.

The voice actor did a great job, including a surprisingly good job with female voices - but it would still be better to have two narrators for this.

Not bad

The books amazing it has something for everyone.
And the furry love story is the best.

A amazing book.

The second person besides the main writer who wrote so many great books was a translator a woman who changed the narrative in the overall presentation of the story, making it seem pathetic into silly conversation, tropes, and basic
B… silly ideas.
For some reason when
You change something halfway through a great audiobook career to, whatever you did when waffling back and forth through banter, allowing silly ideas by B characters change the main characters thoughts is pathetic.
Kind of like a man being manipulated by a psychopath.

Part of the reason I enjoy this author is due to his foreign perspective and how he shows that people are people no matter where you're from. He also shows that the governments are corrupt no matter where you go (even when you leave this world for a new one).

He surprised me with the difficulty in perspectives that were used in this story and I would very much like to get the next book in this series to see how he has the MCs solve the problems presented.

Sometimes it's nice to see things from a Russian

This series doesn't seem to get much love, but overall I enjoyed it more than the first book in his other more popular Dark Herbalist series. It's likely because of the cat lol as despite Sergeant being the MC, Whiskers is the real MC and has probably the best chapters.


****small spoiler

You do kind of need to understand that The MC kind of splits into a man and a cat with each taking some primary stats. Which is likely why Sergeant is actually much dumber than his Earth Counterpart as Whiskers got the more Intelligent based stats....probably why both of their luck is low as well, as they likely split it.

Better than Dark Herbalist
