Unexpected Healer

Earthen Contenders, Book 1

De: Jonathan Brooks

Narrado por: Miles Meili

Something went wrong. Something went very wrong….

Against his will, Thaden was transported elsewhere in a big flash of light along with millions of other Humans from Earth, to a place where they would train to become Contenders in a whole new world. Unfortunately for him, something occurred during his transference into the “Training” program, and he was ejected from the whole training process and sent into the open mouth of an active volcano for bodily disposal.

Through a miraculous and horrifying series of events, Thaden managed to survive, only to find himself alone in the middle of a dungeon with no clothes, no weapons, and no way to defend himself. Worst of all, the strange new Assimilation System automatically assigned a Class to him without his knowledge, which ended up sticking him with a Support-based Class that has absolutely no offensive capabilities. As an Assistant Healer, none of his spells did any damage and he couldn’t even pick up a weapon to defend himself if he wanted to!

But all hope isn’t lost, as Thaden quickly learns something unique about himself that might just allow him to survive long enough to escape the dungeon. Sure, all his new magical spells might be focused on healing and protection, but what does it mean when he seemingly won’t ever run out of Mana…?

This story contains an overpowered MC with a normally non-combat Class, LitRPG progression mechanics and stats, and isekai/portal fantasy elements. Contains no sexual content or harems.

The narrator ruined it for me

i had to crank the speed up to 1.6 due to the author's weird tone drop at the end of many sentences. It made it difficult to listen.

Unexpected Healer

Thaden and millions of humans are teleported from Earth in an instant. Everyone is transported into a training program, where they will learn all about the assimilation process and how they will use this to survive. Everyone expect Thaden that is. Something strange happens and it seems to break his interaction with the assimilation process and his mana bar never depletes. This is an amazing boon, except for the fact that he is assigned the noncombatant support class.

Normally, I am not into the overpowered character trope. I’ve read enough Jonathan Brooks stories to expect good things, so I gave it a shot. I am glad that I did! It was a fascinating set up to a new series and a very interesting world. Miles Meili does an excellent job with the narration!

Content Warning: language

Repetitive

Story is okay but 8 hours of it is just the same thing said over and over

Stats (and spoilers)

What I can say is that if you like a whole lot of stats with very little story this is the one for you.
I've made it to the 3rd book in this series and the story that we do actually get is decent but feels like every 5 seconds he is talking about stats. Like I love LITPG novels but seriously the amount the stats are talked about is overwhelming. In book format this probably wouldn't be as big a deal because you could skim over it but for it to be read out loud is irritating to say the least.
