Yay! for Ant-thony

I wasn't expecting much out of this audiobook but I was pleasantly surprised. I saw it several times on facebook ads and im a sucker for something different. Im leaving my comments free of spoilers so something might be vague

Pro:
The cast of this book was fantastic both Jeff and Annie did a great job at really bringing the characters to life. I don't think this book would have been near as good without Jeff's ability to channel the main characters cheeky personality

While the story somewhat involves progression their is for sure personal character goals that give purpose to progression

Speaking of progression, the progression system is unique... like if this was a game I would want to play it for the mechanics alone

The story does a lot of foreshadowing of things to come. Im looking forward to seeing how the story progresses with some of the groups in the story that are only touched on.

Cons/Additional Thoughts:
I'm going to have to wait soooo... long for the second book

I'm hoping that we see more interaction between the various groups in the next book

Great new series

I cannot wait for the next book in this series. The world building and character development were amazingly done. The narration of course was amazing.

The world is shown to us a little at a time as the MC learns about it, which I like. The MC develops in a reasonable way and isn’t to OP, he does have moments of plot armor but they are very well done. The system is well fleshed out (pun intended) and isn’t too cumbersome to follow. Add to the fact they tell you how many skips to use if you don’t want the crunch.

The narrators are of course amazing, Jeff Hayes and Annie Ellicott are some of the greatest. Jeff channels some Princess Donut vibes with Anthony and I really enjoyed it.

Tasty As Heck

Ants + LitRPG + Monster Evolution = WIN. Good stuff, you should get it. The production is on point too.

long time fan well before it went to audio book

by the 4th book, you'll have to skip 5 minutes to skip past the stats.

Really good

So teenager boy gets reincarnated into a overly dramatic ant and it was an entertaining ride made way better by the narration of Jeff hays

Interesting Story with Much Room For Growth

This Book was a joy to listen to after so many bad reads I've had lately. It wasn't epic but I think it came close to it. I thourghly enjoyed the logical progress of our MC as he survives and thrives in his new life as a Ant monster. I especially liked how often Antony used his wits to outsmart his opponents and prepare himself in advance of any fights. Too many MC's these days just charge headlong at their enemies without thinking.

The Narrators are once again amazing so no issues there.

I'm looking forward to the next book in this series.

Excellent

what a great story. great MC full of humor. tells you the times to fast forward to not listen to all the status reading (i listened to all of them. ) Just spectacular hope to get a follow up story.

Awesome

This was my first LitRPG book and it was really fun! Definitely can’t wait to check out more

Great!

Narrator is great and so is the main character, Hilarious! Also it’s nice that they have a second voice actor for the female roles

So funny!

I love litrpg’s! It my favorite genre of audiobooks but this one stands out for me. I like the different perspective this one gives. The idea of being reborn as an ant in a dungeon is very interesting. I also find the main character very likable and extremely funny. His inner monologue cracks me up so much and it’s nice that he’s not whining and crying about his situation. All in all so far this is the most fun audiobook I’ve listened to so I definitely recommend it!
