Where do you go when you die?

If you guessed "a hellish videogame world where you're forced to fight for your life, solve puzzles, and sustain mortal injury only to be stitched back together to do it again", congratulations! You got it in one.

Maybe that sounds kind of bad. But hear me out. Superpowers. Beautiful women at my side, some human and some decidedly not so much. And maybe, just maybe, if I survive long enough, I can find out what comes after the afterlife.

Smuty fun

The book started off really strong. It was interesting and you never knew more than the main characters. As the story progresses it becomes less engaging and focuses less plot. The ending is the only part that felt like a slog to get through. It didn't feel planned or well thought out. But still it's was good fun getting there and the narration wasn't bad either.

found it heard to listen to

I found this book heard to listen to not becuse of the narrator. but just the flow of the story I guess. there us almost no places to take a rest. and when the characters can take a rest it's almost like they're forced into the situations they get themselves in when they can rest. basically just listening to what they have to go through makes me mentally tired. there's more I could say but if you like RPGs with non-stop action and puzzle with a little bit of happy ending in fanservice time thrown in then this is a book for you you don't like a constant running book with RPG and run and Gun elements along with Happy Time elements this is probably not the book for you. unfortunately I don't think this is a book series I will continue to read when future installment come out.

Average

A bit dull.

A "we died, now we have to go through a series of challenges" book.

In the beginning, the protagonist seems like a real jerk, but then he seems to become a sensitive, nice guy. Maybe death changed him.

A female voice actor for the female voices would have been great.

The two women basically meet the main character and immediately fall head over heels in love with him and would basically die for him after five minutes.

How the technology works and affects the plot was kind of eyeroll inducing to me.

It's not terrible... but I don't think I'll continue listening to the series.

Great Start!

Was not what I expected when I picked up the book. Great story line with characters that easily grow on you.

good story

the Jury is still out on the story. I will say that I had zero clue where the story was going. the normal story has people dying and reborn with powers and awesome life of battle glory and sex.... but not this story. I would have preferred death I think. I continued to listen.
book 2 is out now or I would have been pissed about the cliffhanger. I will let you know soon about book 2. Waiting on this author for another book is hard. I am still waiting on steel sirens 2

Potential lost

The premise is interesting, but the execution is so so.

The characters have enough backstory, there are mysteries to solve, and the MC is on the brink of death every other second. Plus the romance is handled well with the first character. The second is rushed.

The boring parts have to do with the constant descriptions of the agony or the pleasure or the bizarreness being “the most I’ve ever experienced” with more words like that than detail. And the MC lucks through way too much. They screw around for 80% of the time and pull out smart moves in the last 5 seconds.

Like nothing I've heard ,Loved it

not my cup of tea

it's alright but I am not too interested in this type of story. going from one room to another and solve puzzles and fight. then their groove on. some people might like it.

Good but Frustrating

The main character ‘Sam’ is an idiot (personally I feel I’m being nice, I mean he seriously struggles to think past his own dong 90% of the time. it’s funny the first time, and irritating the rest.) And that is pretty much my biggest gripe.
I really like the concept behind the story, and the world it inhabits. I also fell like the characters are written well, and react ‘mostly’ in a way that is coherent with their personality, and development. even if it’s a bit rushed at times, but that can be explained away by the... well a lot of things that work together to hyper accelerate the normally long process. It’s vary well thought out.
However I have already Anticipated the end of the series, as the main plot has only so many ways it can be concluded. One I like, one I’m ok with and is the most likely, and one... well to be frank, if this ends with some kid friendly bull, all “oh wear sorry, let’s be friends now!”, I’m going to Demand a Full Refund and Compensation for my time!
