A Hero's Choice: An Isekai LitRPG

I'm Not the Hero, Book 4

De: Tommy Kerper, SourpatchHero

Narrado por: Nick Podehl

A former nobody is about to become a major somebody—and learn it's not all it's cracked up to be—in the fourth installment of this LitRPG fantasy adventure.

Back when things were normal, Orrin the Timid tried saving his best friend, Daniel the Popular, from a runaway truck. But he failed, and the resulting crash landed them both in a world of magic, monsters, and levels. There, Orrin grew from a mild-mannered sidekick into a legit powerhouse, unlocking Administrator-level powers unlike anything else. Still, things are tough for the former zero.

First, the psychotic witch who recently tried to obliterate him just cut a deal to stay out of jail. Second, dealing with power and politics in Dey is becoming a major migraine. Third, the devious Hospital is dragging Orrin into its internal strife. And lastly, "hero" Daniel's just barely hanging on to his sanity, on the verge of turning into a raging, uncontrollable murder machine. Trying to keep it all together has Orrin at the end of his rope—physically, mentally, and mystically.

If all that wasn't enough, the Demon Lord is at the gates, prepping his Dark Horde to roll in and rain destruction on the people of Asmea. Meanwhile, Orrin has stumbled onto a mystery whose every unraveling thread could have far-reaching implications....

The fourth volume of the hit LitRPG fantasy series—with more than 600,000 views on Royal Road—now available in paperback, ebook, and audiobook!

Tropes include: zero to hero, role reversal, unlikely hero, revenge of the nerds, and fog of war.

a whole lot of nothing

story was very detailed. so much happened yet so little. the story was good, but the character and character development got boring.

take this book with breaks. it's still good. Just boring at times.

give me next book

so the hero is an admin too ehh give me more now I gotta wait

Really enjoyed it, hoping the characters grow into their levels and skills.

Not a bad franchise so far, as long as the authors stops treating the young adults like idiots they are overpowered and shouldn’t make so many mental errors anymore.

Great addition to the story

The action, the twist, the turns, the ups and downs!! Enjoying this story more and more can’t wait for the next book!

Action, world building, and performance beyond compare

This author is phenomenal in every aspect, and the choice of narrator matches so completely for the perfect escape into a movie in the mind. I listened to each novel back to back, even bought credits because there was no question about whether I could wait to hear more. Then I re-listened to all of them again right before this novel came out. The pang and gasp of disappointment when it came to an end gave me equal parts frustration and anticipation. I can only hope that the next installment doesn’t take a year to arrive. The narrator makes every character come to life, with being especially impressive in doing both genders believably. I kept asking myself if he used an app or program that could alter gender tone. Normally, a male narrator can’t manage to sound one hundred percent female in those roles, so I was in disbelief that there weren’t two narrators to do each gender, like in the Cheat Potion Maker series. Even the sections of explaining magic theory was interesting and held my attention where I would even rewind to hear them again and enjoy the intelligence and epiphanies of our main characters. I hardly ever take the time to bother writing a review, because I want to go to the next book, but I felt compelled to give this series all the accolades I think it deserves.
