Extra Credit

A VR MMO LitRPG Adventure

De: J. Arthur Klein

Narrado por: Jack Douglas, Maggie Langhorne

Do you like…Kobolds?

Do you like…Necromancers?

Do you like…Pineapple on Pizza?

Well, if you answered yes to the first two questions, this is the book for you. If you answered yes to the third, well…my mother taught me not to say mean things to people…even if they do deserve it!

Money, as they say, is the root of all evil. Not having money that is. When budget cuts at the high school where JT teaches threaten his mortgage, he’s forced to seek an alternative source of income.

Using the latest VR technology that lets the body rest while the mind is at play, our digital entrepreneur dives into the latest VR MMO game Argos Online with a potentially exploitative character build no one saw coming: the Kobold Necromancer.

He’s got all of Spring Break to see if he can grind the system for all it’s worth…or end up Spring Broke in search of a new place to live with his wife and young son.

Fun LitRPG

So many books take themselves way to seriously. This isn't one of them. It starts serious but the constant jokes and world building draw you in. No world ending doom or unending personal drama. This book is just fun gaming. Really hoping he has more books like this.

An excellent escape

This is such a fun story!! There is a lot of character and world building, but it is seamless and organic. There are a lot of really interesting and unique mechanics that I have yet to come across. This is the kind of book that allows you to escape into a simple and fun world without the heaviness of universe-altering plots and conspiracies. I am desperate for more content and a continuation of this series. The audio production was a bit shaky at the start but got its stride later through the book. That doesn’t detract from the immense talent of the narrators btw. Please give this book a shot, you won’t regret it!!!

Earning that extra credit.

This novel is clearly a story written with love of the character and building a good world and story around it. Extra Credit is the story of a husband and father earning money by playing a game to support his family. It really hit home personally and makes you root for him. The world mechanics are simple and easy to follow without being overwhelming. There is a fair amount of system text and messages for a slight to moderate crunch factor in my book. All in all I would recommend this is LitRPG and tabletop fans a like. Kobolds are the master race.

No Conspiracy

This story, unlike many others, is very simply just about someone who is trying to make a little extra money on the side in a way they enjoy. He doesn't take advantage of any hacks/exploits, he's not OP, there are no corporate conspiracies or billionaire antagonists (yet), which is honestly quite refreshing given how common it is to villainize any wealthy character. My only real complaint is that there are actually no pineapples.

Hope for more books in the future, maybe 9 more?

After taking a gamble with this book I ended up liking it a lot.
Want to see him all the way till the eng game when he is roling in cash.
Also want to se him fully evolved and maxt out in all things in the game.
