Publisher's summary

Assassins don’t retire; they reincarnate.

For nearly all of my life, I trained to become a master assassin, but at the height of my career, it all fell apart. I was betrayed, ambushed, and left bleeding out on the streets of London. Just before my death, though, I was offered a choice: Stay and let my life come to a swift and brutal end, or become the personal assassin of a god in another world. It wasn't a hard decision.

But this new world isn’t like the one I left. It operates by a completely different set of rules and a strange system that I don’t understand. I’m going to have to learn fast if I hope to survive in this land of myth and magic. All of my skills, and several new ones, will be put to the test as I receive my first contract. And new world or not, they have no idea who they’re up against.

Isekai Assassin is a fast-paced story set in a Gamelit dark-fantasy world, written by the best-selling author of the Wyvern Academy series.

So freaking good

This book was absurdly good! Excellent character development and exciting combat scenes. Just enough stats to keep you updated without bogging down the story. I love where this is going and I cannot wait for more!

fantastic

if you love a good rogue/assassin story, you got one here the MC is a very complex character and the supporting cast as well. loved the unique Isrkai gamelit novel.

wonderful

Is a such an awesome story you won't regret giving it a listen trust me on this

Highly Recommend

I spent quite a bit of time skipping over this title and not getting into it. Now that I listened to it, I was thoroughly impressed. With most types of litrpg books, there is usually something that just does not fit or seems off with setting or character reactions; but this is set up and done well to the point there is none of that. This book is not perfect, neither is the performance; but both are done quite well which makes this book an enjoyable read (listen). Frankly, I am not sure how I would make either the book or performance better having said that before...though I am definitely going to continue with the series, so feel free to give this a shot, it is well worth it. P.S. Alice is an amazing side character

OP, but not OP Assassin.

Loved how it all starts reminds me of Dishonored. I also love the 1800's assassin thrown into a fanticy world with a modern RPG system. It also take his experience into account, and that true experience is just as important as any system skills if not more so. Just wish there was a female voice actress for the younger female parts.

I enjoyed it

it's entertaining especially if you like isekai or anime
the voice actor was great

surprisingly good

it was an unexpectly great story, not often are you supposed to emphasize with an assassin

good

after listening to the book 1-3, I had a major urge to play the assassin's creed game

I see why people say it's not much of an isekai

First, the performance is amazing. The accents are great. The characters are unique and consistent. You couldn't ask for better.

Second, I see why people say it's not much of an isekai. It's an isekai, but almost a reverse isekai. The book is more about how his skills are so good from the real world that he doesn't need the skills or skill ups from the new world. Because of that, the leveling is slow and almost pointless. They rarely even talk about the skills past the initial breakdown and the random skill ups.

Third, it's still a good book. I enjoyed lslistening to.it so much I am listening to the next one as I type this review.

Great, even if you aren't into anti-heros!

I really wasn't sure what to expect going into this, since I don't usually enjoy the anti-hero type character. I have to say that I really enjoyed it! The MC made logical choices and was really an awesome lead to follow along the story. I'll definitely be getting the next book!
