Resumen del Editor

The omnibus collection of the Adventures on Terra series. Three books and over 400,000 words of entertaining LitRPG adventure.

Book 1
Armon Ellington is nineteen year old kid that always felt out of place. He’s an orphan, a gamer, and a role playing game geek. When he dies after a seventy-two hour gaming marathon, instead of going to an afterlife he’s transported to a new world governed by rules that are eerily similar to the RPG games he loves. On this new world, Terra, he can be anything he wants, a warrior, mage, or even a crafter. Only, Armon wants more than that, he also wants friends and family.

Book 2
When the Imperare Empire attacked the village of Restrian, they killed most of the kind kobold tribe that adopted Armon and took many of the citizens of Restrian as slaves. Now, not only must Armon find some way to free the kidnapped citizens of Restrian but he must find and rescue the few remaining members of the kobold tribe that adopted him.

Book 3
Armon finally has the information he’s been searching for. He knows where the kidnapped kobolds that the Imperare took are. A city deep in the heart of the Imperare Empire and a place renowned for its gladiatorial arenas. Now Armon just has to solve the small problems of breaking out of jail, evading capture, getting into Imperare Empire, and coming up with a plan to rescue the kobolds from whomever has them. Join Armon and his friends on the final leg of their quest to rescue the members of his adopted family, the Red Claw Tribe of kobolds.

Join Armon on his journey through this amazing new world where he’ll go on adventures, explore dungeons, slay monsters and hopefully find the friends and family he never had on earth.

pre-teen fantasy

Sadly, I'm not leaving a great review. The story has potential to be so much better than it is. The narrator is just ok, not bad, definitely not good. The editing is trash. The narrator repeats herself A LOT, sometimes in different voices as if she forgot which character was speaking. Instead of editing that mistake from the final product, it's left in.

The author seemingly forgets what was written, an initially female character, when spoken of paragraphs later, is now male. The MC is childish, forgetful, and dumb at times. An entire dungeon was completed without using his greatest defense skill. It's not mentioned by the MC, or any other character as to why he didn't use it. He mentions his adopted family, as his family must of the time, then randomly he mentions them as his best friends family.

The leveling speed doesn't make sense. The system has a weird progression component.

All that being said, it's still not a bad book. I listened until around chapter 10 of the 3rd book. All of the mistakes and oddities that I mentioned continue to pull me out of the story. I can't connect with the story anymore.

Decent but not great

The first two books flowed well, but the third book dragged. The reader did a great job with the voices but mispronounced several words (e.g. brazier as brassiere, etc).

The first part of the second book seemed to have an abusive relationship between Mary and the MC. Usually between friends there will be jokes made at each other’s expense, but it seemed that Mary hit and kicked the MC any time he made her the butt of a joke, while he seemed to accept all her jokes as if he deserved it.

Based on the third book I am not sure I would buy a fourth book.

This was really 3.5 stars for both the books and the reader, but it’s not an option.

a decently paced story with a fun splash of humor and adventure.

love the stellar performance of the VA, and the excellent pacing of her reading, and clear articulation.
The books start a bit slow but definitely pick up and always leave you wanting to know what's going to happen next.
I highly recommend giving this book a good try, and I look forward to future installments of the series coming to audible.

A well done, long, enjoyable B-level adventure

Nothing too amazing in this big audiobook, but there's also no major drawbacks. So I count that as a win. Things I consider bad: excessive introspection, MC stupidity, excessive unlikeable characters, slow pace and excessive mistakes. There's none of that.

The main character is likeable. After a short prolog (bad guys exist) the Main Character wakes up in a forest in the first sentence. The last he remembers is finishing a 72-hour straight gaming session. PSA: don't stress your body. In the next sentence, a gaming fairy introduces him to Terra.

The classic litRPG formula ensues: quests and advancements. And I enjoyed every minute of it. But it's not a top-tier adventure. I liked the Narrator and will look at other books she's done.

Recommended.

The narrator was very skilled, and did a lot with what they had.

The RPG portion was good, but the woke’ism is so dominating it is almost exclusively about racism and the negativities of it that overwrites even the fact that it could’ve been a very interesting book series if they would’ve dialed back, the woke agenda 30%. I probably would’ve given it four stars.  But as it stands, there isn’t a single chapter. I don’t think that isn’t directly referencing to racism or speciesism. Sometimes you just need a little story. It’s bad enough. What’s going on with the TV networks when you can’t even read books without it anymore .
