Length: 11 hrs and 3 mins

Publisher's Summary

Down with the Players

Alex finds herself on the shore of a distant place - a world unfamiliar.
A world of fantasy and magic. A world that is a game. 

NPCs and players all insist she is an NPC, a part of the world. A part of the code of the game. A part of the fantasy to entertain the players. She rejects the idea, for her memories can't just be lies. Could they? 

Alex sets out to establish herself in the sandbox fantasy world, to find her identity, and to weather the storm between the coming players and the inhabitants of the new world. 

On the litRPG spectrum, this would be considered a soft litRPG. Don't expect heavy number crunching! 

What's in this story:

• Stand-alone story - no unending series 
• Female MC 
• Less numbers 
• Base building 
• Magic realism 
• Topics that might make Asimov chuckle 
• No harems 
• Swearing 
• Light sexual content 

The World:
The Multiverse Virtual Reality, known as the MWR or MVVR, is a collection of atomic-level simulations that exist as games and research experiments. Instance_ID8092, otherwise known as the Otherworld, is a mysterious new Virtual Reality MMO that was recently revealed in the long list of VRMMOs. As soon as the players found the new game, they dove in to find an entire world thriving with NPCs. 

The world exists as a geographic copy of pre-war Earth with its inhabitants enjoying a pre-industrial level of technology. Beyond the proliferation of magic, the NPCs use player-given technology daily - airships, muskets, and manatech engines.

needed a better prodcer

felt like the producer gave up halfway through the book and stoped editing out the flubed lines it got old fast

Pushing the boundaries of Gamelit

An inspiring story with a creative narration.

Polyglot pushed many concepts already touched upon in many other books in the genre. The characters are relatable and well developed. The voice acting is entertaining and diverse.

The one complaint I see is that the editing needs another run through for sentences repeated.

Really fun story, great performance.

I really enjoyed this one. I liked the characters and the plot, and ending and final parts battles are so ridiculous they are amazing. I appreciate that in the end all the loose ends are tied up and that this is not a half finished novella branded as part one of a series never to get a part two. . It is a complete narrative with good development and decent pacing. While it doesn't stray too far of the core concept of MC starts at level 0 and eventually is unstoppable, the journey to that point felt far more earned and explained than many other tales I've read in this genre.

All that said while the performance itself was very good, I really enjoyed the narrator's voice and inflections, it needed another editing pass. There are a few areas where a mistake is made and the phrase is restarted but it was not edited out. Also some background noise and mic bumping. I really feel that the performance deserves a better edit because otherwise the delivery was very enjoyable and I would love to hear this narrator again.

I really have nothing bad to say about this other than I feel like there is potential here for an even better story so I will be on the lookout for this author in the future.

Decent stand alone novel

I liked a lot of this book, I enjoyed most of it quite a bit but I did have some issues with it. Sometimes the MC seemed super horny/thirsty, it was like everybody wanted to get in her pants and okay with that (even if she just said she wasn't.
The ending felt rushed and drawn out at the same time. And the magic system seemed really cool but mostly ended up not mattering in the end (i.e. levels stopped mattering so the system no longer mattered)
but I liked the book overall

one of the best in the genre

This book takes the genre and spins it on its head from a new perspective, Non Player Characters. With the immense level of creative writing brought together with descriptive imagery, and a tasteful dash of humor and sarcasm. The talented and captivating writer, and narrator are able to pull you in and keep you glued to the seat for the ride untill the epic ending.

The book name is what grabbed my attention Polyglot();

I was pleasantly surprised, and entertained at every turn. As a programmer I loved the magic system, and code snippets. Offten after hearing a snippet with it's description my inner programmer would split off, and try to piece together how I would write it.

Favorite part was ishimiself, was so funny I had to replay it for another laugh.

Anyways 10/10 would hear again.

cool story.

I enjoyed the storyline. With enough twist and luck to make the story exciting all the way through. Narration was good. Overall enjoyable and no disappointments

Not bad

Where to start... the concept was awesome and started off great. The writing was awkward and all the characters sounded like a they Scottish or a stoner. The MC was thirsty, like dehydrated levels of thirst to the point it kinda took away from other parts of the story. Halfway through the story it seemed like the author got bored and decided to wrap up the story.

Poorly Edited

The story is very good and enjoyable. My issue with it is the editing. So many instances where a portion of a sentence is repeated. One case where it ends abruptly with "sits" then background noise flowered) followed by the full sentence starting at "sits". It detracts from the listening experience.

Great story and narrator, marred by bad production

An imaginative plot allowing us to take the side of NPC's tired of getting killed by inconsiderate players. This was a really fun listen for me as the characters were interesting, and the narrator did a great job bringing each of the them to life.

It's really too bad that the production of this was so sloppily done. I lost count of the number of times the recording would repeat lines due to a poor editing process. Every single time it happened my immersion into the story was broken, especially during the tense scenes. If even one person had listened to the final product before releasing it then they would have realized how much work still needed to be done.

Good idea, to much sex

Narrator is great, story idea is great, but I'm not interested in lesbian sex or any other graphic sex depictions. Half way in the story gets clouded by unnecessary "Fan Service". I finally gave up.

Returned

Really didn't get on with this book. The actions of the main character really made me dislike the book and couldn't continue listening.

Has this even seen an editor?!

This is either the worst editor I have ever heard of or this is completely un edited. The Narrator repeats lines to give better delivery and the original line is not removed. A small belch from the Narrator is left in, the micro-stutters we all do from time to time when reading are not removed in the edit once corrected by the actor. It's a Joke. the author should sue. The story is entertaining and the Narrator is great but I cant listen to this. Every time I heard something that should have been removed in edit, it put my teeth on edge and made me angry. It makes my flesh crawl so see how little effort was put into this production post recording.
