Excellent Story Bad Narration

This story is definitely one I'm going to buy on my kindle and read again as well as any sequels but the narration wasn't very good. It wasn't the character voices that bothered me, I can deal with the oddness there, but the voice of the info sheet and the poor mic or editing quality, couldn't tell which. Alot of time when a word ended with s I would hear a whistle and that drove me crazy after a few times and there were a couple of times when a sentence would be repeated. I held out and finished listening because I was enjoying the story that was being told but I hope the author gets a professional narrator to do his next books, hopefully luke daniels.

Try it

Story's pretty good you should Give It a chance Audios Is the major issue The Mic quality is bad with the Book The Narrator Is OK could be better but definitely could be worse I'll be getting the next book Definitely a very interesting concept

Great story.

This was an interesting take on a game lit novel. The story is excellent, and very well written. The MC has some depth which is often an issue with this genre. I really enjoyed it.

The book and premise have character and promise

you need better voice actors for your next titles.

these are bad to be completely honest. it has a lot of potential, it's just being held back by whoever voiced it. 1 person making voices for everyone, especially voices not in their range really makes it difficult to immerse in the story because the characters sound disingenuous.

it really sounds like someone I'd telling a bedtime story to a child and is ham-fisting/butchering the voices.

also, it's just really unrealistic to expect the first try of everything the MC does to work out the first time. every time. (the last remarks might just be personal bias though).

P.S thanks for the new songs for my new Playlist. 😁👍🏾

Were the next one ????can't wate

I lessen to both back to want more I love both I want more please

Story ya Narratorion meh

the story was very good the narration not so much. there was some editing errors in the narration several lines repeated over and over and the voices got on my nerves.

full of potential

this was a good book the settings, characters and story were all really good the only problems I have with this book is the narration. the author narrates the book him self which is okay by me but there's a few problems. first is the batman like voices when his characters speak outloud the kind of growl or sound like they have a soar throat. secondly is a few time in the book they will repeat words once or twice like she was ready she was ready it happens enough to notice. if the author could get a good narrator this book could be amazing. my other problem is the odd song name and singer at the start of the chapter

I am amazed!

Well, here is a book that satisfies several of my loves. Such as Litrpg and Time travel. Good combos that you can’t go wrong with for good tale. This is one of the rare books that I always say that is brilliant or insane, and it is where the author actually decided to narrate his own book. Personally, I admire such courage, and I always hope that the writer does such a thing because they know their character so well that they know they can handle the nuanced emotions and vocal stresses that a narrator has to guess at. So, that is where I’m going to start. With the narration.

Gabriel asked me to be kind, but I’d rather be honest. You can pretty much tell that this wasn’t made with high end audiobooth technology. I’m not sure what Gabriel used, but it doesn’t feel the same as a normal audio production. I could be off, but that is how it sounds to me. Secondly, the story could have stood some slightly better editing. Several times I heard things repeat. Now, I am going to be fair and say that I actually enjoyed hearing Rathweg doing the various voices and telling his story HIS way. You don’t get that a lot, and I know it took a huge amount of time to produce this book the way he wanted it and I don’t hold his vocal prowess against him. I think he did a pretty decent job for a first timer. I have heard professional narrators not handle characters this well, and completely flub a story, but I did get an honest chuckle with how Rathweg made certain to properly pronounce certain words. It almost felt like he’d heard someone say supposebly or En Signs and tried to side step those floor traps. This certainly isn’t Netfix’s Nailed It moment, and for a DIY novel it has legs. But, if I’m honest I’d suggest that he use a legit narrator in the future because I always say that a good narrator can elevate a story, and a pro could have sky rocketed this tale.

As for the writing I enjoyed the story, the MC was a cool dude and feels genuine. Sometimes the dialogue was off a touch, but overall it was fun. I will never complain about time travel stories. I have been addicted to time travel since I first watched the Time Tunnel as a kid and I think Gabriel handles the travel aspects pretty well for the most part. There were some things I don’t think he should have been having to teach indigenous people, but hey, I can sus[end my disbelief and say that happened.

We get game mechanics that are familiar, which I appreciate. I hate having to learn some complicated gaming styles that drain the fun right out of the story. I will say that the MC starts out OP pretty quickly, but it is balanced by his opponents being OP as well. I do get picky about overly strong characters, but just like in the good guy series by Ugland this proves that you can have an Over powered hero/MC so long as there is a balance, and I get that here. IN fact, I really don’t know if he is OP or just better than most normal humans. For me, the real standout is the way in which we get to see native American mythology employed. I don’t think I’ve ever read that in a Litrpg novel before. The catch here is that the gods want to Little Big Horn the entire “Go West Young Man” movement before it ever catches on. This is to be a not how the west was lost, but how the west was closed for bidness. Cool concept, and it gets played pretty well.

Over all, I enjoyed the book, but there were a few hiccups that could have been skirted with some professional editing soundwise (sorry, can’t overlook that). I like that the book has a sort of playlist to go with, and it was fun. Final score 7.8 stars. Could have benefitted from a more professional touch

Love the chapter song idea

I really enjoyed listening to this book. Each chapter has a song associated with it to fit the tone of the story, which is a nice mechanic. At the beginning of each chapter, I can just ask Alexa to play the song for me in the background while I listen to the audiobook play. The audiobook itself was actually recorded by the author, and I thought he did a very good job. Now on to book 2

Gamer

Not bad had a slow start But the story is good ready for book 2
