Qing's Quest 1: A LitRPG Adventure

Qing's Quest, Book 1

By: Henrik Saetre

Narrated by: David Lee Huynh

He was just a gamer . . . until reality became the ultimate level grind.

Qing Baker thought he had problems. A dead-end job, mounting bills, and a sick younger sister. Then he wakes up in a world where magic is real, monsters are hungry, and the only way home is to level up.

Thrust into Elrydisan, a realm of swords and sorcery, Qing must quickly adapt to his new reality. No tutorials. No respawns. Every fight is a struggle for survival, and death is a one-way ticket to becoming the enemy.

Armed with a rusty axe and a rapidly growing arsenal of magical abilities, Qing faces down hordes of undead, demonic beasts, and treacherous humans. But Qing isn't alone! Joined in his adventures by a grizzled veteran and a fiery young warrior, he forges unlikely alliances, confronts his deepest fears, and discovers a strength he never knew he possessed.

But as the darkness closes in, threatening to consume not only Elrydisan but his own world, Qing must make a choice:
Embrace his destiny as a hero, or watch everything he loves be destroyed.

Amazing, feels real

This is absolutely amazing I've been waiting for it's release for what felt like forever now I'm waiting for book 2 thank you so much for making this.

Underrated

Fantastic book that doesn’t get the attention it deserves. Well narrated and a nail-biting storyline. Make this one at the top of your list!

Volume inconsistencies, Popping P’s

The story was ok. It didn’t wow me. I didn’t feel anything for the MC.

The audio volume was up and down. Too soft for the quiet parts so you turn up the volume, then way too loud for the loud parts. Even when staying at the same volume, the loud parts were too loud. When words had a P, the narrator often popped them. It wasn’t all the time, but often enough to be noticed.

Pretty alright not bad.

Mc isn't all that impressive at the start. But the story gets impressive, the undead zombies, the deaths of characters make it a dark/grimm story. The mc though never really gets any better in my eyes.

requires some patience for a new author/series

So this book is definitely not one of your standard progression or litrpg novels, it's a little bit more of a slow burn and the authors newness does show in a few places in the writing. I read the first half of the book and listened to the second half once the audio came out, and the narrator took a little getting used to as well.

everything really picks up around 40% through and I think it's worth it if you stick with it. there's enough there that I want to find out what happens next
