The Game of Love: A Modern Slice-of-Life Gaming Adventure

By: Simon Archer

Narrated by: Rachel Leblang

Beat the game. Get the girls. Stop the bad guy.

My name's Ethan Riley. Just your typical dude with a bartending gig and an outdated Subaru, and if that wasn't boring enough...I'm from Ohio.

Or at least I was boring...until I died.

No, seriously. I died. But thanks to the magic of unethical medical practices, I was kitted out with a microchip in my head and some hush money in my pocket.

Now, I’m suddenly seeing everything like a dating simulator, including some of the hottest gamer girls in the industry. Girls like Belladonna Minx wouldn’t normally look at guys like me, but she's not just looking...she's staring. And my reflexes?

Well, they might even be enough to win an esports competition run by an evil billionaire with an equally evil AI.

Amazing story.

Great writing and narration. I enjoyed every sexy moment of the story. It was very entertaining.

Very fun light hearted romp

Trouble makers and technology really mix well in this series. Interesting premise that moves along quickly

Love to listen

At the start of the book I didn’t know how the rpg dating sim was going to kick but in the end I felt like it wanted to be more like a dating sim lit rpg then the story made it out to be, I liked that it was more slice of life and less impossible fantasy situations. This story was awesome for making it more believable and relatable to me as a listener.
And I love the herem aspects with the girls adding him to there group.
Plus the dating sim parts were funny, hot, exciting. I’m glad I picked up this story and I look forward to anything new in the future.

Great story, hopefully there will be more

Love all his work, hopefully another book soon. V.A dose great work as well.

Premise without a good story

First off, if you like the premise then go read Love Addict's RPG V1.00 by PunishedKom. Similar premise better execution. Admittedly less spice.

This book feels like the author wanted to write a story about a guy who gains dating sim powers but had no clue how to write a whole story with that as the base. As a result, the climax is out of place and jarring, feeling very much like the author was grasping at straws while scrambling to figure out what kind of climax a story like this would have.

The relationships also feel fake. In all cases the characters almost instantly go from first meeting to wanting to have sex, but then quickly throw around the word love and agree to be in relationships, so we're supposed to believe they have real feelings when all we see is lust. More time needed to be spent on making their feelings believable, either before or after sex was on the table.
