Eight

Eight, Book 1

De: Samer Rabadi

Narrado por: Gary Tiedemann

Life’s tough when you’re trapped in an eight-year-old body on another world.

His name is Eight. Not really, but that’s what the System decided after a slip of the tongue. One moment, he was stepping out the office door on the way home, and the next waking up on a hillside below a town wall. Oh, and the gate guard drove him off, because he thought Eight was a monster.

What’s a boy to do in a world full of magic and so many, many hungry creatures searching for their next meal? Well, there’s an old man inside that body, and he'll use everything he’s learned in his sixty-four years to survive. Starting a fire? Sure. Crafting a spear? Check. Defending the cave he calls home? Also check, a big one.

There are allies too, but not the kind you’d expect.

Eight is a LitRPG novel of magical survival—of discovery, bushcraft, and creatures weird and wonderful. A hit on Royal Road–with millions of views–and now it’s available on Audible (narrated by the estimable Gary Tiedemann).

worth it

A little bit to much self contemplation that slowed the story down a bit but not enough to make you lose interest.

Excellent development.

Amazing. I hope you write another and soon! A great story arc. Character development. A

Fun take on the LitRPG

Liked the old man in kid form taking on the world. Loved that it drew a lot from a different perspective than you usually get, and a great story. On to volume 2!

A hidden gem

Well written characters and an intriguing world are just the start of this hidden gem of an isekai!

Great Start!

Phenomenal story and voice acting, only issue was that MC was a bit to focused on the past. But it makes sense for a 56 year old to be a bit more hung up on stuff than a younger protagonist.

Having, nothing but praise

Delightful, very well read.
Story was focused and we'll prepared and delivered. A plus

Instant #1 on my litrpg list

This book may not be perfect. but it is definitively my favirite Litrpg book by miles.
It may change in the future but throughout this entire book I was waiting for a detailed dig through Eight's status and skills and perks and blah blah blah so I could skip through the droning list like every other litrpg. but even when his status is gone over, be it the narrator's voice and style or the author's intent, I actually didn't want to stab pens into my ears or skip 5 minutes at a time. hopefully this style of stats and skills keeps up because it is much less of a drag on the book. enjoyed every minute of this book. can't wait for 2.

A little slow but…

Still interesting. Even sped up, the audio felt too slow. Yet I was able to find a happy pace that kept the story moving for me. Like the characters and story build up too. Great detox from heavy fight laden stories too. I’m definitely going to pickup the second book. Hopefully, the MC is less reminiscent and more in the here-and-now.

Surprisingly Good

Started slow-ish; wasn't sure if it was ever going to bring in LitRPG or Cultivation elements, but eventually brought in both. Excited for the next book.

A bit slow?

The story was well written and well read. It just felt slow. It was not boring but I didn’t have the urge to stay up all night to finish it either. I’ll probably get the next book in the series to see if I like it better.
