Magic Murder Cube Marine: Book One

De: Alex Karne

Narrado por: John Pirhalla

Francis Francis Francis the 3rd was one hell of a Marine. He died doing what he loved, killing everyone around him.

After being vaporized in the line of duty, Francis is transported to a new world full of gods and magic. Too bad Hades is trying to kill him for declining a job offer and System holds a grudge for what happened during character creation. His new patron deity seems nice, but who knows if they can be trusted?

Armed with nothing but his lucky pink booty shorts, a pair of matching flip-flops, and 19 years’ experience fighting in the Marine Corps, Francis has one goal: find a way home to his fellow grunts, or be listed as KIA forever.

Grunts love this book, and you will too!

one big comedy

this entire book is a joke and its great! lol even better if you was/are a marine, or any other branch or even if you just had family who served and you understand some of the humor. it's not required though, I think anyone with a sense of humor would enjoy.

nothing about this book really makes sense so don't think to hard about the details and just enjoy the comedy.

Great narration.

Fun listen! Just get past the vampires (first few chapters)

This was a very fun listen, the narrator does a good job with all the different voices, especially liking Francis and Willow. It's a bit over the top with 3 vampires in the beginning of the book but we quickly move on to a great story and smooth voice acting. (I'm not sure how the book is written, I'm assuming it's the narrator just following the written text)

Silly, Stupid, Cringey, Yet Still Funny and Entertaining

My only real complaints about this book were the thick layer of Millennial-ness that flavored the book and the unnecessarily crunchy LitRPG system. If you read the title, saw the cover, and still picked up the book, then I'm sure my complaints won't come as a surprise - especially the first one. For me, though, they tainted an otherwise awesome book a bit so I could never give this five stars.

With that said, I still really enjoyed this book. It was a laugh a minute, and Francis is one of the best isekai protagonists of all time. Honestly, I enjoyed all the characters - even murder cube. Here is hoping that we won't have to wait too long for a sequel.

Excellent

Took a chance and it paid off. This was a lovely story about a group of really cool people. Simple, refreshing, and well done.
