Publisher's summary

Where were you the day the Turning happened?

It was a phrase that meant nothing…until it did.

Because about four weeks ago, the world simply turned. One day we had iPhones and GoPros, Mickey Mouse and hamburgers. The next day we had magic and monsters.

And us humans? We became players with levels, items, and classes. Pretty ironic considering how many times my parents told me to “quit gaming and experience real life” while I was growing up. And then real life grabbed us by the balls, and it was the gamers who were prepared.

But I’m getting ahead of myself. You probably want to know how I managed to get to level 13 in a single day. How I mastered the art of Eternal Flame and Absolute Zero. How I managed to summon a gigaclops and tame a tarasque.

But perhaps you’re more interested in legendary weapons? Perhaps I can tempt you with a tale about how I forged the ancient Frostcaliber and used it to slay the lich king. Or if Leon Kennedy’s your kind of guy, I did save the president’s daughter, but instead of zombies, it was bloodthirsty apes.

But if none of those are your thing, how about just a simple tale about a guy, his best friend, a loyal golden retriever, a little girl, and her beloved cat? Practically heartwarming, right? Well, all except for the copious amounts of gore.

It's not bad

A little too corny for me, but I finished it. I'll not be getting the next one though. Also the narrator was a bit overdramatic. Not sure what it is but some narrators just sound super cringy when they try to get serious and dramatic, and this is one of them.

Fun, but shallow and full of coincidences

Overall, I had fun—especially the first half of the book. The characters aren't deep, and the plot is pretty light. Overall, I had fun and don't regret purchasing it, but I'm not in a hurry to listen a second time. The performance of the narrator was strong.

Good but one issue

I really liked this book. Characters are great and the humor is perfect. Only thing is there are a couple time skips near the end it just feels like the author had a place and things he wanted to get to in book one, so he just threw in a couple time skips to move the plot forward , it felt kinda jarring.

Good start for a new series.

End of the world turns to monster battles and power upgrades! The hero versus the evil overlord! Can’t wait for the next one!

Best characters & situations

Loved it, was so non-serious and had me laughing out loud so many times I lost count, the character development was awesome! The audio was spot on with the voices and really brought it to life, glad I went audiobook 1st!!

If you are a fan of "choosen one" archetype

This guy is the chooseniest one of choosen ones. He needs something *poof* just gets it. This is a story on rails.
