Publisher's summary

Diving into a revolutionary new video game, Marcus and his friends escape a stagnant society, entering into a world that defies their wildest imaginations. But from the moment that he logs in, Marcus finds himself separated from his friends and thrown into a remote village under attack by a horde of goblins.

Forced into battle, Marcus rallies the beleaguered villagers and, with their help, manages to drive off the invading creatures. With the village in ruins and their supplies spoiled, the survivors desperately turn to Marcus for help in rebuilding the village.

Realizing that this game is nothing like he's ever played before, Marcus is swept up into a whirlwind of adventure as he struggles to defend his new home, quickly finding that marauding goblins are the least of his problems.

Pretty Fun

One of the better Litrpg books I've listened to recently. While starting out like pretty much all of them, this book immediately draws me in. The characters and motivations are understandable and more importantly believable. Luke really brings out all the character, making the contrast between voices clear and distinct. The story itself was long, but seemed it was a series of events that led logically from one step to another. The build up was great, but I think his speeches were a bit cheesy lol.

I'd recommend this one, it's defidently better than a lot of other similar books out there.

Good story, alil annoying

Not done yet, but this predator stuff is stupidly annoying. So much annoyingly predicable filler that is just left for lazy filler. Could you please make the players as sensible as usual when it come to dealing with it for a second so we can move passed that crappy side story?
