Killshot Apocalypse

An Action-Packed LitRPG Apocalypse (Trace, Book 1)

By: V.A. Lewis

Narrated by: Marissa Parness

The world falls into chaos. Earth is integrated into the multiversal System. And all Trace has is a gun.

Trace Taylor was at a shooting range when the world was kidnapped by the alien species called the ‘Esvol’ to begin humanity's integration with the System. Each individual person is given a femtochip implant and a class to fend for themselves before being sent back to Earth.

Once Trace returns, she finds that the planet too is left scarred by this encounter. Faced with monsters, dungeons, an annoying AI, and a lot of insane idiots, how will Trace come to survive this newly-changed planet?

Trace Taylor

Alot of people seem to insist on calling Trace Taylor by Trace Taylor's full name every time they direct there attention to Trace Taylor so at least I never forgot Trace Taylor's name. Otherwise not a terrible story, though I do wonder when she will start running out of bullets, she may have started in a gun store but that still doesn't equal infinite ammo

Killshot, or not?

its the apocalypse where raiders, monsters and worse are doing terrible stuff yet the MC doesn't kill obviously dangerous people who have told her to her face they are going to do horrible things to her, yet only disabling shots, to what end? the hopes the police are going to do something... its the apocalypse there is no such thing as a free meal!? what is she thinking. serious plot hole. but whatever...

that being said its an interesting story with good narration, and decent character progression. perhaps the next book will have more crafting and maybe using the long guns she maybe recovered...

good book

I want to know if they got the guns back into the vault missed it

Love the narrator, the MC tho... *sigh*

I like the premise of this book and I like the author's other series. However, I am frustrated by this MC. I realize this is how the plot is, and the MC fits the plot, I just find it frustrating how shortsighted the MC is.
Blahblah growth of character, but I physically get upset and dissociate when she does what I consider to be stupid stuff. Actually sick to my stomach and have to pause and/or bang my head on the wall. I don't know if I can continue to the next book.

Narration itself is great! I really enjoy this narrator and was specifically looking up more of her works which is why I bought this audible.

I appreciate and enjoy the diff accents for diff characters, it clearly depicts their various origins, but not to the point of annoyance. The energy of each individual is also clear in their tones & they are distinct enough between characters that I don't get lost.
Moves thru stats pretty quickly compared to other litrpgs. I realize one can only do so much with the material they are given, she does admirably well by not pausing or lingering too long thru stats read outs.

Sometimes some of the slang emphasis is jarring. How she says 'No cap' doesn't sound quite right to my ear. (A little too try-hard, the enthusiasm is right for the character but it doesn't quite sound as fluid or natural as normal speak. It verges on a sarcastic interpretation of Liz's regular dialect.) The rest of the slang sounds fine.

mostly fun listen

fun lit rpg. mixing scifi and fantasy. some dark situations towards the end that deterred from the fun listen.
