Tooth & Paw

A LitRPG Adventure (Fate & Freedom Online, Book 1)

De: DM Gilmore

Narrado por: Jack Meloche

What do you do when your dream job turns into a nightmare?

Warren loves his job. As a game master for Fate and Freedom Online, he gets to do everything from piloting world bosses to helping players stuck in geometry.

When he overhears two coworkers plotting to hack the game and endanger players, things go downhill fast. Not wanting to leave a witness, Warren finds himself stuck in the game as a gnoll!

He’s level one, aggroing to every player, and unable to call for help or even log out of the game. How could things possibly get any worse?

Warren’s only hope is to become a world boss and get back some semblance of regular game UI. Unfortunately, standing between him and escape is a boss monster that isn’t too keen on letting him level up.

With some new friends and a little luck, will Warren escape his digital prison, or will he be stuck as a gnoll forever?

Not a typical LitRPG

I just finished listening to this today and I have to say I really enjoyed it. it was refreshing to not have a MC be crazy over powered with a generic ability. there is something (I won't spoil it) that the MC can do that isn't typical that is OP yes, but severe consequences come from it.

As a forever DM for DnD, it's nice to see a story from a monsters perspective in a sense. While in one other series I've listened to (Dungeon Lord by Huesca) has the story from the 'bad guy' perspective this is completely different and I love how the story was and progressed.

I admit that I listen to audio books on 1.5x speed, so to me the performance let something to be desired, but when I have a chance I will go back and listen to it at normal speed when i have some free time and see if that opinion changes.

This is a family friendly book which I don't recall much swearing if any at all. usually ever other sentence has a curse in it. Not here. There are also no adult only scenarios which is refreshing as well. This is a book I wouldn't mind my kids listening to.

Overall, this book was well worth my credit and I can't wait for the next installment.

good story but long-winded author

it's an enjoyable story and it kept me sort of listening. but the author is quite long-winded, he repeats concepts constantly and the character is always whining about the same things. this isn't bad because the story is pretty good and the main character is decently likable. just a little annoying.

some good gnoll bois

this book was overall very enjoyable! about time we got something from the point of view of some gnolls(at least what I've seen). granted, it's a litrpg with a human player in a gnoll body, but still. the characters are generally great and the story is compelling.

if I had to fault it for something (which I feel makes reviews more believable) it would be that some characters had a couple of flip flops moments, and that the rest of the gnoll npcs act surprisingly human sometimes

as for the narration, it was pretty great, I loved some of the voices, but the editing needed another pass. many times I noticed a line being repeated.

A refreshing litrpg story

I love the books where someone gets turned into another creature in a fantasy world. the mc has problems in both the real world while imprisoned in his favorite vr game by a nefarious group. he has lost his real body and his normal character being turned into. agenric mob. the whole omg I have a tail thing made me laugh. the story is not to generic nor predictable. the mc has access to a command console for the game as he had borderline admin powers in his old body as a reasonably high up in the chain staff member of the game company. but his op powers also come with great risk. uses his powers to kill a player who is passing him off...triggers an event that puts everyone in danger. I love this book and look forward to more.

Super Fun

Great book. I’m excited about listening to the next in the series. It was a fun take on litrpgs.
