Protagonist: A Fantasy LitRPG Adventure

The Whims of Gods, Book 1

By: S.I. Waxman

Narrated by: Soneela Nankani

After quitting her job as a therapist, Tess's life became pretty slow. A tad boring, even.

It thus came as no small shock to her when she was chosen by a god.

Suddenly thrust into a new world where magic, monsters, and character levels are par for the course, Tess will find that simply surviving can be a challenge. It doesn't help that dark forces are stirring, she's woefully underpowered, and spiders keep trying to claw her face off.

One thing's for certain, though: if she can overcome it all, the possibilities are endless. Will she end up wrestling a dragon? Becoming an arch-mage? Opening up a quaint wine bar and bookstore for elves? The choice is hers...as long as she can live long enough to make it.

Protagonist is a fairly classic LitRPG novel with character levels, classes, stats, settlements, and other LitRPG elements.

Engrossing Read

Really enjoyed the book!! Looking forward to book 2! To see what happens with Kevin Rock Cal Hertha and Tess

favorite audiobook so far

this book had me laughing a lot, gasping a bit, loving some characters and hating others. and thinking some were just completely crazy. but overall I enjoyed this book immensely

Decent Female Protagonist.

Was pretty good story line, did find it a bit slower paced overall but generally enjoyable. Did not overwhelm you with stats and long draw out battles which was mostly a plus. Reader did pretty solid job IMO.

SO MUCH WHINING

I I just can't with the amount of whining this chick does, I wanted to throat punch the main character so badly. This is just such a terrible book. The main character has no actual redeeming characteristics. She monologs a lot and lives in her mind so much that she doesn't have any real relationships with anyone despite being a therapist. There are so many elements that aren't used that it is disappointing. The game elements suck real hard, and I feel like they weren't thought fully through.

A LOT of fun!!!

I ADORE the humor and levity this book brings to the LitRPG genre. The whole thing felt like a really wholesome hug. The author is so self assured in her writing, pacing, and narrative that it made me as a reader listener feel safe and held the entire way through. I trust her to take me where her imagination leads and she never disappoints.
Also Jason is so cute it hurts!!! A real solid guy that one. A complete rock star!!!
