The Mayor of Noobtown

Noobtown, Book 1

By: Ryan Rimmel

Narrated by: Johnathan McClain

It could be worse. You could be stuck with a literal shoulder demon.

After dying and being reborn into a world that's built like a video game, Jim has found himself stuck in a very old-world style new-player zone for low-level adventurers. Unfortunately, the zone fell out of use centuries ago, and no one told the monsters they were supposed to take it easy on the Noobs. Even worse, the only new player around is Jim.

Jim has been given an opportunity, and he'll do his best to take advantage of it.

One of my new favorites.

This book is great. I have pretty much every LitRPG worth listening to on Audible (and more than a few I wish I could return once the series took a dive), and this is by far one of my favorites. If you like shit talking and sarcasm, as most gamers do, you’ll love this book. I laughed out loud numerous times while listening to this book, which for me is rare…especially in this genre. Spend the credit. You won’t be disappointed. (except for wanting more)

Pretty decent start

I both like this book and loath the beginning as it both tragic and the MC was so close to incredible power but was literally interrupted at the last second before he could obtain it.

Overall a good story with plenty crunchy to it and overall a very interesting idea for the main characters abilities. I feel that the MC will eventually become OP but is so noobish that he will bumble it somehow. Other than that I really did enjoy the story and look forward to the next one coming to audio.

Surprisingly good book

I stumbled upon this book through audibles recommendations. After checking all my "must have" (a majority of good reviews, a sequel that also has good reviews, reasonable long book etc etc) I downloaded this one. And to my joy it was really good.

The narrator (Johnathan McClain) has this little extra that even makes the normal tedious character sheath really funny and amusing to listen to, absolutely a brilliant narrator.

The books is an interesting but not very different version of wake up in a rpg-world, mc starts as a noob etc. A clever thing is an annoying and very funny side character that has it´s place and makes the story flow and is a target for much joy. My thoughts goes to a certain beer can in another book series, being an asshole seem to be a good recipe for humor.

All in all, a really good book that made me promptly go buy book two in the series. There is no real, evil cliffhanger in the end so I guess it´s ok to just read this one and come back later. The books is in all regards very satisfying, I really recommend it.

Great than the sum of its parts

This one was oddly satisfying. I recommend it for fans of this genre. Black humor, a discreet OP (not) hero and snarky (sharty) sidekick. Worth a listen.

better then i expected!!! much better

Really enjoyed it thought. Now iam hooked may not be perfect but damn close get it you'll like it!
