A fun jaunt through the MMORPG forest.

I loved the fun banter between the characters. Great mix of world building and action. Depth of emotion is there taking you in the highs and lows of a battle royale. Excited for the next one!

Great listen, moments got real laughs from me!

I was givin a review code for free and gave this story a chance. It gets to the point of the story quickly, and gets its hooks into you fast. I kept listening a good chunk of hours every day till it was done!

The story was fun, the characters felt real, and their bantering got some real laughs out of me. The voice of Greg the guide had some really great moments. Shut up, Greg.

Narration was great, story was fun and kept me hooked the whole way through. I can't wait for a sequel.

Unique take in LITRPG

I was honestly on the fence for this book when I first started. The beginning threw me with his aversion to feminine products, but once that part was over, and it was such a small part, this book legitimately had me enthralled. I normally dislike Battle Royale style games because what progress is there? The author spun this in such a way that I loved the set up of the "game" and the system itself. Without spoiling too much the class mechanics are really cool and the added depth the author threw into the battle Royale genre really made it stand out.

it was my first time listening to this narrator and he did a fantastic job as well. There was one voice I disliked, but she was not in it for long and the voice fit the character so it's not a big deal. 10/10 especially for the emotional parts.

This was also the first time I've heard of this author and I am now looking forward to more of their books. Plot was great. Character interactions were fantastic. The world building was a bit slow, but we were learning with the MC so that makes sense.

One thing, I felt so bad for Greg for a good bit of this book, but honestly...shut up Greg.
