About this listen

Alone. Surrounded by monsters. Armed only with his fists... Time to fight.

Jack Rust was a disillusioned biologist with a PhD—almost. When an extraterrestrial AI calling itself the System invaded Earth and thrust it into a world of aliens, magic, and violence, Jack hoped to at least get some magic himself.

Nope.

Even worse, the System spawned a forest dungeon around him and a goblin in his face....

Armed with nothing but his fists, Jack must grow strong enough to survive hordes of monsters. He needs to return to civilization and find out what the heck is going on. He might even get magic—or not. Surprising himself, Jack discovers that violence is fun.

In this battle-ridden new world, Jack finds the life he always dreamed about. He won’t just survive. He will thrive.

Don't miss the start of this action-packed new LitRPG Apocalypse series from Valerios. Join Jack the brawler as he pummels everything that gets in his way with his fists on his road to mastery and power. It's perfect for fans of Primal Hunter, Defiance of the Fall, and lovers of all things progression fantasy and LitRPG.

Heavy YA vibes.

The narrator did a great job. No issues there. I like the plot and where it seems to be leading. Solid. Status reading isn't too excessive. The System is okay.

The characters are where I'm pretty iffy on. They all come off as kind of flat and as if they were written for a young adult book,

I liked the book. I'll read the next one. I know, however, that I will be rolling my eyes and sighing quite heavily when I do.

DAO OF THE FIST!

I loved every bit of this book. The growth of character is fantastic, as is the reasoning behind his pursuit. Jack's story is one I can relate to and I will consider myself fortunate to continue reading his adventures!

far better than the what the reviews say

I really enjoyed the book. 30+ hours of grinding. it had its flaws but not many. MC had a goal, went after it af above all, wasn't a simp with a hero complex. he also didn't let bad guys get 20 chances at redemption and took them out immediately.

Non stop fight scenes

This is non stop fight scenes and very little else. If just fighting is your thing this is the book for you. If you want some character development and a plot, you might look elsewhere

A fun story with amazing narration!

I found myself sucked in to the story quickly and rooting for Jack all the way. The narrator however took this story to the next level. His excitement, emotion, and variety of male and female voices made this experience so much more fun. I don’t usually love audiobooks as much as a physical book but this narrator may have just changed my opinion. I’ll definitely be looking for more stories by Valerios and narrated by Jeremy!

Progression Fantasy for Middle Schoolers

I’ll start off by saying I went into reading this book hoping for something similar to Primal Hunter and DOTF. It has some of the same elements oh how DOTF started and progression is just ok, nothing too special.

Overall 3 star rating due to how insufferable the MC is, and is why I won’t be continuing. MC is supposed to be smart, ~30 years old, and a PHD candidate, but acts and whines like a literal child. It’s ridiculous, laughable, and honestly makes it hard to want to side with the MC.

World building is subpar, characters are good, some of the comedy is funny, romance sounds like it’s written by a middle schooler as well. Story definitely had potential, but if you’re looking for a strong progression fantasy like the other top novels in the genre, this is not it.
