Publisher's summary

A man trapped in a live-streamed reality dungeon crawl battles monsters for his life—and for the fate of the world—in this fantasy for fans of Squid Game.

Jason Lee came to New York City to see the sights. But his plans quickly change when the Apocalypse Protocol is initiated. Rifts open across the Earth, unleashing hordes of monsters upon humanity. But gateways to dungeons also appear and, with them, opportunity.

Finally, there's a system announcement: some individuals will be bestowed with powers and abilities to combat the monsters and protect their fellow humans. And when a dungeon materializes in Times Square, causing gargoyles to attack the streets of Manhattan, Jason discovers he's one of the Awakened—and he's live streaming to a global audience!

Now, viewers cheer Jason on as he competes in a high-stakes battle for survival. The more he fights, the more he can level up and adapt. With the help of online admirers and the minions at his command, he might just be able to rise above the competition and cement his status as the Strongest Sovereign . . .

One thing is certain: Jason's vacation is definitely over.

it's a game stream for my ears

well I enjoyed the story, a little simplistic but I now have popcorn joys and a fun game

Welcome to The Hunger Games needs the apocalypse

This is basically welcome to Hunger Games Meets the Apocalypse and has the backseat drivers Some are friends some are foes Trolls and allies in the back enemies And friends and by his side this is his new life It's an interesting thing to listen to if you're just bored I want something that's really just listen

Idea of a good story

It felt like a robot wrote thìs I. pre-ordered. Because my favorite VA this that entire being the only enjoyment I got from this book. There is basically no world building at all. Who is anybody? What are the motivation? None of it is planned out. I'm almost to the end with 1 hour left. And I have no idea what the portagonist's first name is.. Does he have a family's or what is the fighting for is there a goal at the end? The Apocalypse is happening and absolutely no one questioning Anything.it's just another day at the office.
This work might have done better as a visual novel or maybe a Manga. It's really a shame because there is a story there. The action scenes are detailed and well-thought-out. The dialogue is not too terrible. But it's so dry a and on a feeling in the Telly.

a good start

I loved the story but he should of killed him allot earlier. to save him the trouble. I hope he doesn't come-back.

story just sucks. narrator is great though.

everything but the narrator sucked. not worth the time to elaborate really. all the characters are at best 2 dimensional.

Somehow this was just a hard to listen to

Usually these kinds of books are just what I like. Except this book. I am not sure of it is the phasing, the dynamic or the writing style but after going through more than half the book in a couple of tries I am giving up.

I have taken multiple breaks and seriously given it a chance as I have found diamonds in the slog before... But this time I gave up.

Look at this as a warning or a challenge to finish what I gave up on. I wish you a happy reading.
