Capture, Evolve, Survive: Book 1

De: Dante King

Narrado por: Lewis Alexander, Rozelyn Rader

I guess you could call my latest job interview a success. I got hired, and it's way beyond my wildest dreams.

The pay isn't great. And the hours are pretty much 24/7.

But there's magic. And a portal to a fantasy world.

Those kind of outweigh the negatives.

At first, I thought I was just testing the latest VR survival RPG, but I'm starting to think this might not be a game after all. The monsters are definitely life-like and capable of carving me apart on their worst days. But on their best days, I make them mine.

Yeah, I have the Tamer Class.

There's strength in numbers in survival scenarios like this, a fact that becomes only too clear when I'm joined by a redhead who's apparently a Warlock.

I figure it won't be long until our party's number increases in this strange new world.

holy political injection

there is so much political injection in this book it might as well be listed under the political section. I am sick and tired of having political crap, left or right, being injected into books. Stop preaching, this author has lost me forever.

First half good

The first half of the book was entertaining. The second half not so much. I’m not sure what the author was thinking sending the MC running around all by himself and us just having to listen to his thoughts. I am not sure if I’ll bother to listen to the second book.

excellent start

I really liked the start of this new series. I thought it was pretty well written. I liked the three "system" being used was fun but not over bearing with lots of stat screens etc. I thought the mc was likable and not op. if you like crafting and base building you'll like this one. the narration was excellent also.

a great entry title

Marks job interview turns into an isekai trip to another world, along with all the other applicants. He has to learn how to survive not only monsters and the dangers of the world, but potentially the other applicants. Great new world! I look forward to the sequel!

Harem set in Palworld

This is literally a harem novel set in the Palworld video game. I would have skipped if I knew this going in.

a certain open world game

this plays nicely, good story and progression, cool characters and monsters, the world evolution seems decent. tiny complaints, but not enough to write

Great Story!!

I had not realized from the description that this had Pokemon like elements, which was a fun addition.

I was taken aback at how abrupt the change to the isakai portion was, but, like the characters, adapted quickly. Dante did not disappoint!

This story read well, and i quite enjoyed it. Both narrators were new to me, and seem like they are getting their feet under them. They did a great job with their enunciation, and Lewis just needs to add a little more inflection in his voice acting, but that was my only complaint.

Awesomeness

This audiobook is an absolute blast! The story begins with Mark's unique job interview that leads him into a magical, perilous world. The blend of magic and survival RPG elements is thrilling, making the adventure immersive. As a Tamer, Mark's journey is captivating, especially when paired with the formidable Lucy. Fast-paced, filled with life-like monsters, and great camaraderie, this LitRPG adventure is highly enjoyable!

Pokémon meets survivor.

Very much better than the concept sounds. King's writing keeps the flavor of Litrpg without bombarding the reader with stats. The book is kept moving through survival and exploration. the romance is slow burn.

An excellent listen as the narrators bring the book to life.

could be better

ok so I love the story and world but there are things that bug me throughout the story. For example Mark and Beth use overly sophisticated words instead of one's that would regularly be used making them sound as if they are trying too hard to sound smart. another is mark go off on tangents when describing certain things like his experience in a portal. Lastly there is a contradiction in how they gain there classes as Mark and Lucy gain theirs after a period of time in the world. Later however Mark asks Beth what class she chose and indicates what she chose at the time of transference. She shouldn't have had a choice like Mark and Lucy and it should have happened after her arrival in Sanctum not in the transportation to it.
