Return of the Healer: Book 1

A Progression Apocalypse LitRPG Adventure

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

I lived a long life. A life full of battles and survival. I waded through the fires of the ravished, the jungles of despair, and the plains of oblivion. The world had fallen, and one by one, my friends and family died. I was the last and was ready to accept the end. If I could go back and change the past, I would. I could make a real difference when the Gatestone first appeared. I could keep my sister alive, and I could train my party for the rifts and raids that would determine the fate of the world. Closing my eyes, I took my last breath. Only, I didn't stay dead...

Waking in the body of my eighteen-year-old self, I found my wish had come true. I only had one week before the fall began, and the system activated. There was a lot to do to prepare myself and my sister. I was going to do things right this time. I was going to be the one to close the Gatestone and seal away the darkness that claimed my past life.

If only I knew the trap for what it was.

• Ties in with Lute and Songs
• Non-Harem
• Some crude language and hinted dark topics

seriously how hard is it to actually say the words "HIT POINTS" ?

needs polishing and a better reading service wouldn't hurt. good idea for a story line.

First I recognize that getting an audio book made is not cheap and that, sometimes, virtual voice seems like its better than nothing. I hate the idea of Virtual Voice, but figured I'd give it a try.

For a generated audio voice, it starts out okay. It's much better than a static screen reader. Then, the problems start to stack pretty quick. Wrong emphasis on the wrong syllable. Phrases that need emotion lack it. Phrases that are rote are given emotion. It's an extremely jarring juxtoposition. Then there's the zinger.

Every time someone looses hp, it's read "horsepower". I checked against the text to make sure it actually didn't read that way. It doesn't. After about an hour of that, I threw in the towel.

With that said, I love of regressor story; however, the early "I'm all over you b/c you freaked out when you saw me" love interest just feels so off. She just met him. Now she's rubbing his back after a day of fighting? I didn't finish the story so I left the story at 3 stars. I still gave the performance 2 bc I guess it's better than nothing at all, but not by much.

I'll probably finish this on kindle, but pass on the audio. Virtual voice completely failed the author here.
