Arrival: A Humorous Isekai LitRPG

Terminate the Other World!, Book 1

De: Icalos

Narrado por: Savy Des-Etages

An unstoppable killing machine is unleashed to do . . . whatever she wants in this fast-paced, action-packed spin-off of the Faceless Minion series.

She's unlike any one or any thing else: a Non-Standard Leashed-Intelligence Cybernetic Enforcer aka NSLICE-00P. The first of her kind, she's let loose into a universe of superheroes on behalf of her sinister masters to destroy all who oppose them.

And everything's going according to plan—until NSLICE-00P gets hacked and sent into the past to kill her own creator before he creates her. Obeying orders as always, she wastes the poor guy. Unfortunately, there are consequences to initiating a reality-breaking time paradox. The most significant: total ejection from that reality.

Now the cyborg finds herself in a world of skills and levels, with the distinct advantage of possessing a dungeon core. She'll have to make her way without orders, programming, or limitations. NSLICE-00P suddenly has a whole new life ahead of her. If only she can keep herself from blowing things up at the drop of a hat, she'll be just fine . . .

The first volume of the hit LitRPG fantasy series—with more than two million views on Royal Road—now available on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and Audible!

Great original story. texts needs adaptation for narration

Original and entertaining story
But the narrator reads the entire main character's character sheet whenever the author included it, the can take upwards or 40min and requires you to manually skip as it's performed in a slow neutral tone. such inclusions can be interesting to skim when writen but translates poorly to an audio book

So many stats!!

The story was quite good, however, the constant reiterations of the main character’s stats had me fast forwarding for 5 to 10 minutes at a time.

Great story

I really enjoyed this book it was kind of a cyberpunk into fantasy isekai with the protagonist keeping the cybernetics and modern weapons. I do hope she grows into a more free minded individual in the future.Definitely gonna be getting the next book.

Impressive!

So let me start with I loved this book. I’ve listened to hundreds of books in this general vein by now and a large portion are enjoyable but not much more. This hits the spot for both a logical not brain dead MC and being OP only by their own effort not sheer BS. The humor is light and good. Overall no glaring weaknesses that detract. I won’t quite put as my all time favorite as HWFWM and others may still reign…but still very well done. I’ve already bought the preorder for book two.

Absolutely Hilarious Listen!

This was a great listen. My only issue is the the repetitive stat checks. They are quite long. Even with that I still have it five stars all around! Love the MC and her minions. especially the spider. I highly recommend it to anyone!

Wow, much better than I ever expected

Don't judge a book by its cover, except this one. The cover captures the main character's story and the sheer badassery of the overall book.

Unlike a lot of other Lit-RPG books that read like they were written by a shit-kicking, MAGA hat-wearing, middle-school dropout after uttering the words "hold my beer" , this one delivers on all aspects. original concept within the Isekai genre, original character, and original (enough?) mechanics.

This one delivers also in the parts that matter the most to many readers, which is sophisticated prose and writing. Bad writers, especially in fantasy, and more often than not in Lit-RPG (because gamer bros....of course) will sprinkle an overuse of curse words and gimmicks to detract from their poor writing, inability to create original concepts, dialogue or storytelling, Similar to how a bad cook will over-spice their work to hide the fact that it's pretty bad, or worse, contains expired ingredients like bad or rotted meat.
This writer is not one of those, and thankfully neither is the narrator. The characters are brought to life in a way that compliments the writing and keeps the reader both engaged and entertained. And this is not one-dimensional storytelling either. The main character and supporting characters all have well-developed plots and motivations and will keep you guessing what might happen next.

For example (spoiler potential here so read at your discretion) - The Spider that loves to sleep, voiced so unexpectedly perfect for her caricatured stereotypical valley-girl behavior is also uncharacteristically insightful. And this is a small player in the overall book. Then there is Ratzinger and the rats, who are done just as well. And the list goes on.

More importantly, it doesn't read like a 12-year-old wrote it and published it without edits, something that happens way too frequently within the genre.

If you haven't gotten this, get it. It's a great addition to the lit RPG genre.

stat list

the start list is WAY TOO LONG OMFG 12 MINS!! other then that its a GREAT STORY. Not really funny but entertaining definitely.

fun

funny and unique story, with very interesting characters. the performance was done well. I say give it a try

Its not bad

Overall the story was fine but I had a few issues with the story. First of all the narration choice for the MC's voice and thoughts was spot on for the character but it comes off very flat which makes for harder listening. It was an accurate portrayal but it makes listening harder. Outside of that the MC is above and beyond a little busted to the point that its a little silly. Its probably in the realm of Wolverine in that its not as if you couldn't stop him but you would probably want to walk into things knowing how to counter him. The MC is kind of like that even if its a stretch people walk blindly into them and she breaks them in half.

Have it inmy wish list for a while

Overall loved it.
Negative the stat sheet was long, to skip will be nice
dungeon plus cyborg plus human overpowered its
Great !
