Dissonance

A LitRPG Adventure (Unbound Book 1)

De: Nicoli Gonnella

Narrado por: Travis Baldree

A new world. A thousand threats. Welcome to The Continent.

Felix's life on Earth had become a series of dead-end jobs, ruined relationships, and rotating apartments smaller than most postage stamps. By all accounts, even his own, he was a coward. Too afraid to move forward, to take risks. Yet when given the chance to choose between risking his life or walking away from a deadly encounter, he didn't hesitate.

Moments before his untimely demise, Felix was snatched from earth and thrust into a magical world known only as "The Continent". Empowered by the "System", he learns that he can strengthen himself through combat and dedication. To survive, he'll have to push himself beyond his limits, or else fall to the monsters all around him.

Levels, stats, and magic. Death is the start of a terrible fate, but if he lives...no one knows what he will become.

Might be too much LitRPG

Roger Ebert advised judging a movie by what it wants to be. Judge horror movies as a horror movie.

So I give this a high rating. This is a very stats-focused story. Nearly every page has lots of stats on it. Advancements are frequent. If you're familiar with the Threadbare series, about twice as much stats as that series. Perhaps three times as many as Dungeon Crawler Carl.

That all said, now I'll complain, there are too many stats for me. Also, despite some tough times near the beginning, too many times the MC gains multiple levels and blocks of 30 stat points. Often he gains 10 skill levels in something in the course of a page. These frequent sudden jumps cheapen the process. In the series I previously mentioned, such jumps only occurred after major events.

Still, the performance is great. The MC is likable and reasonably smart. The action is good. The action starts quickly. I enjoyed it.

However, the author should tone down the barrage of benefits for his hero in future stories, lest they become meaningless.

Great book and great series

I just wanna mention that I’m reading this book for the second time after being completely caught up with the series as of now there’s 11 bucks soon to be 12. I know that sounds daunting but it’s a great series. I can say I have to ring a second time it was worth it. The narrator Travis is always. I think the plot and Laura in world building is extremely well done. As a person who’s read the series I can say that it does a good job at hinting at stuff and makes you question things and it definitely was not where I was expecting it to go. So yeah read the series. It’s good. I’m not saying this book is perfect. I do think they are a few things. The way things are worded or talked about can be a little off sometimes. But that being said improves as this series goes on and the fight scenes are well done.

Excellent story - could leave the cursing out. Held my interest through the end. Need at least 15 words to leave review - ha!

wow

I will be honest with you at first I wasn't 100% sure early kind of all of us but by the end of the book I am officially insulting has to find out more pick it up read it there's a few drive chapters but once you get past it we're good

Great Book

I loved this book and am so excited to finish the series. The writing and performance is so good. The only minor issue was when the characters check their skills, where it gets a little long as he reads everything.
