Vigilance: A LitRPG Adventure

Fallen Lands, Book 1

De: C Peinhopf

Narrado por: Charlie Keegan James

Trapped in a world of monsters and magic, survival is just the beginning.

When Evelyn moves to Monterey Bay for college, she expects her biggest challenges to be making new friends and surviving freshman year. But her life takes a dark and unexpected turn when she's abducted and thrust into a terrifying world of monsters, magic, and ancient secrets.

After awakening in an unfamiliar body and with a collar around her neck, Evelyn must use her wits, a positive attitude, and a spark of newfound magic to escape cultists, dodge undead horrors, and—with a bit of luck, find a way back to civilization. Unsure of who to trust and clinging to the hope of returning home, she must navigate a landscape where danger both physical and political lurks around every corner. What begins as a quest to survive becomes a journey of self-discovery, revealing a resilience she never knew she had.

Great listen and top notch narration.

I stumbled upon this genre, and I’m so glad this book was my intro!
Checked all the boxes of a good read. There is a nice pace to the book, witty banter, and easy to follow world building. At times, I found myself trying to predict what would happen next but alas I was left on a cliff hanger. Need book 2 please!!!

yes

Good and a fun time....... ... ... ... .. ... ... .. yes . .

Great book! Surprisingly normal Protag!

I really liked this book and it really scratches that litrpg itch. Unique main character with a race that isn’t used as often as I would like, also the book depicts her truly embodying her characters slowly but surely.

I have a slight bias because I love how fluid and somewhat realistic she is in her situation, at the same time I hate when people get into bad situations even though they had all the tools to not be there.

(Spoiler) For Example, she has the ability to both see the hue of people’s souls and basically has an appraisal skill but gets caught lacking in the end. On one hand you might expect her to show more caution in a new dangerous world but on the other when someone with new trauma find safety they may dive into it completely, throwing away caution to not think about it. Like living in a dangerous area but finding relative safety in your house, you may have to push the danger away to stay sane.

I both loved and hated this but that’s the beauty of well written characters. Wrote too much but I truly want to listen to the next book.

Strong characters, weak ending

The book is really entertaining and the characters and their interactions are amusing and well done. But the author trips at the finish line. The bad guys plan seems to have been. "I hope everyone looks the other way and some people make poor choices for 5 minutes so I can do my evil plot." and the frustrating part is that is the plan that works. I think the real issue is the author is great at writing interactions with sympathetic characters but struggles to express what and why for BIg bad evils actions. You're reading a character story for 35 chapters and then for the last 3 you're get a weird and unsatisfying cliffhanger.

fantastic take on isakai

love the book and I'm looking forward to seeing more from this author. love the fact the MC isn't a fantasy nerd in anyway and has to get her nerd information from others

Great story

This is a great story and probably one of my favorites. I am looking forward to book 2 and more Sebastian the Brave. 😁

Great story brought to life by a talented narrator

I had read and loved this book on its initial release, but being a corporate slave I listen to a lot of audiobooks on my commute. This one is very well done, the characters really come to life and the narrator has a great variety of voices, characters, accents, and intonation. I am really enjoying it and will definitely relisten again in the future!

its good

Whatr i think is funny is the coverart being changed i though the first one really set the mood for the start of the book though i cant blaim the change

I loved this book

I loved this book. I am a very big fan of Litrpg and this story had me hooked from the outset. The author built a beautiful and cruel world that shows impressive depth. The characters are fun and relatable with both their excitement and sorrow. The performer did an excellent job with the reading, and made the whole book just that much more alive.

bad forced ending

I liked the book but I couldn’t accept the avoidable ending. I bet every single reader would have been suspicious, it came down to pure stupidity, that’s way too forced.
