Genesis

Legends Online, Book 1

By: Jonathan Yanez, Ross Buzzell

Narrated by: Adam Gold

Grab your sword and get ready to level up.

The only way out is through.

Unbeknownst to him, Ray is about to partake on an adventure filled with magical beasts, warring factions, and a leveling-up system out of this world. He'll encounter filthy bandits, musty crypts, and friendly werewolves. Oh, you heard us right.

If only he wasn't given negative charisma points around women, he might have a chance, but you can't win them all.

When the only way out of the game may be through, you fight like your life depends on it. Because it just may. Survival means victory, and defeat could mean the end—forever.

Note from the authors: This one's for the underdogs out there. For lovers of adventure, the dice rollers of chaos, and the unapologetic gamers. We can't promise it'll be safe, but we can promise you're in for one great journey.

ok hear me out!

So yes, the other reviewers are right when they voice complaints on intonation is valid and claim the writing to be in queer manner. Adam gold does emphasize random words in the middle of most sentences, but d*mn can this man breath life into the characters.
And yes, the story is written weirdly in the present tense.
I.E. 'John Doe throws the stone at the goblin' instead of 'John Doe threw the stone at the goblin'
It's strange and alittle off putting, but to be completely honest if you can get use to it, there is a gem of a story hidden beneath it.

I'm moving to the 3rd book as of this review.
Characters are really well developed, and the story itself has spices of uniqueness sprinkled everywhere.
This book in of itself nearly brought tears to my eyes by the end.
I wholeheartedly recommend this series, but just know, that its not everyone's cup of tea.

Amazing voice actor

The story is like an SAO-style isekai. It's only made better by the range of voices and expressions of the voice actor. I can't stop listening. I usually only listen to audible at work, but this story is too interesting and fun.

Great listen!

This was fun and action packed!
Adam Gold did an exceptional job as the narrator!

Excellent Book

This is exciting start to what I am sure is going to be a great series. I can not wait to start the second book.

Stuck in a game world and can’t get out

There are a lot of elements in this book that make it fun. It is an interesting gaming experience with real world consequences, fun character dialogue, town building mechanics, and unexpected plot turns. The narrator delivered a fun performance and made it a joy to listen to.
