The performance

The narrator really brought this story together. With the different character voices. Really enjoyed this book looking forward to the next one

Wow! Soooooooo amazing! Just friggintastic!

Wow! Amazing! I was purdy sure this would be fun 🙃 'cause it was a litRPG one of my favorite genre's. And when it comes to narrators Peter Berkrot is always a good choice, as he always gives a 100% in his vocally prefected performance.
This is Will's, Will of Blackbriar's story. He knows that inorder to get stronger he has'ta fight the Goblin horde on the front line's and after being accepted by the 3rd Auxiliary he went to town, leveling as fast as he could... and following the quest line. Turns out that Will is a gifted fighter leveling even faster than veteran's that have been at it for years! He also has the ears of both Hadrian Blackthorne and Count Basset Heir Dacon. And unfortunately he's garnered the interest of the inquisition.
So yeah grab the audiobook and enjoy this rip-roaring litRPG.

Very well done but lacked context

Enjoyed it a lot, but at times needed some focus on the who, what, why of the world, character history, and his motivation.
Battles and action was great. Narration was top tier.
Hopefully next book can address some questions other than just battle after battle?
I will get the next book. 4.5/5 overall.

Enjoyable story. Gritty, dark.

This story kept my attention. It makes me think of a gritty and dark version of something written by James Haddock, whose books I tend to enjoy. Definitely much rougher and bloodier than Haddock, but I like that sometimes, too.

The setup is there for sequels, though, none are listed on audible at the time of this writing, but it's published by Aethon, so, a series is almost guaranteed. All that to say, I'll be keeping an eye out for more books in a series.

they did a great job on this one

They did a great job on this one. The story itself was simply not my cup of tea. I would recommend it.

Wow!

Truly amazing, gripping story, captivating world. The author did an amazing job, and it was brought to life by the narrator fantastically. I will be waiting for the next instalments.

Fun fight of fury

Great story. The intrigue and battles lost me a bit as i kept asking wait … why is this happening, but if you don’t over think it you’ll see “from the corner of your eye”, a great story!

More Fantasy Adventure

My favorite aspect of this audiobook is Peter Berkrot’s narration. He gives life to this world in a way that makes you hang for his next breath. The story revolves around our hero, William, who tries to hide being an otherworlder while gaining levels to survive. I enjoyed the realism to the Middle Ages style fantasy realm. The magic is sparse enough to be special. Unfortunately, the Iron Blooded element didn’t stand out as much as I hoped. Similarly with the characters, I felt like they didn’t stand out. The story is professional, but I kept hearing favorite phrases and words repeated soon after, making me think this was written quickly. Overall, it does not stand out among other isekai progression fantasy, so I likely won’t continue into book two.

Great listen

Exciting and engaging. Kept my attention for the whole book. Likable characters that got me invested and a very interesting storyline. I am cheering for Will and look forward to more of his adventure in book 2. Can’t wait!

Really fun!

This is a fun one and has plenty of humor and potential for an epic! Looking forward to more!
