BuyMort: Grand Opening: How I Became the Accidental Warlord of Arizona

Shopocalypse Saga, Book 1

De: Damien Hanson, Joseph Phelps

Narrado por: Wayne Mitchell

Some predicted that the AI singularity would result in robots destroying the world. None of them ever understood that it was the sales algorithms they had to be afraid of.

After the arrival of the multiversal monopoly BuyMort, life got brutal. All systems were through BuyMort. All currency was through BuyMort. All sales were through BuyMort. You could resist, you could compete, but it didn’t really matter because in the end you used BuyMort—or you perished. BuyMort be praised.

But not everyone’s happy with the new system. Some, even, want to see it destroyed.

It’s quick. It’s convenient. And it will help people kill you and your family as readily as it will help them sell you knickknacks for a quick mortie. Because BuyMort doesn’t care about anything except the bottom line.

Enter Tyson Dawes, a no-cares slacker with a traumatic past, two wrinkled bucks in his wallet, and a crap job caretaking a crap campground in the desert sands of Arizona. He had a deal with the world. He didn’t change it, and it didn’t change him. Seemed simple enough. He liked it, anyway.

BuyMort changed all that the moment it let loose a torrent of alien entrepreneurs upon his planet, intent on selling everything that hadn’t been tagged through the system and classified as his private property.

When a man has little, he cherishes it. When that little is lost, he’ll do whatever it takes and change into whatever he needs to be able to get that little bit back.

A refreshing take on litrpg

This book took me by surprise, I was not expecting it to be so good. This book takes all the tired old tropes in the genre and turns them on their heads. Great characters a refreshing new take on the “system” and the best part not a super powerful OP. Just a regular guy put In an bad situation. Do your self a favor and buy this book.

finished in 3 days.

finished it in 3 days, I feel like that's enough of a review right there, it's got a good story an it made me laugh. I almost never leave reviews since generally books have way more reviews than this one did but I guess it's my turn to do something.

Get more Morties!!!!!

Everything is possible with BuyMort!!!! I still have a few hours left but I'm pretty much obsessed. Sexy snake ladies, mech grannies, builder goblins and so much more. Fun world building and the MC doesn't know a lot at the start but works in a logical way to figure it out and isn't a pushover. I'm interested to hear more; the narrator is a little intense, but I couldn't imagine this story with a soft spoken unanimated person. Give this a try and I bet you will like it. Filled with fun, laughs and many interesting concepts.

okay listen to the sample first

If you like the sample audio, understand this is a retelling from the future kind of scenario. The person who is narrating the story is telling you using his own voice, and the narrator really portrays that well. I think it adds an extra layer to the enjoyment of the wackadoodle nature of this book. If you want a system that is spelled out for you from the beginning this is not the series so far. listening to the book you're going to feel as confused as the character is described as feeling. And I love it.

Moronic MC

I couldn't finish the story, the main character is a complete moron. I do mean complete.
