Follow Stone as he claws his way to the top with pure grit, spit, and blood in Sol Anchor!

An entertaining adventure

I enjoyed the world building done throughout the series. It makes it seem like a living world. The adventure is fun with humorous undertones. It was very enjoyable. The one thing I didn’t like was all of the cursing. Anymore than a little is too much for my taste. Don’t let that stop you from trying it out though.

Good story

This was a really cool story. Brad Derry did a wonderful job performing, and an extra star for it being an omnibus. 6/5 enjoyment

Really good first lit RPG series

I really enjoyed this series in the mechanics of this world. As the author admits, it was a little bumpy at times I’m glad to see some of the feedback as he was writing the other books. Overall, the series is great and I really enjoyed listening to it. I can’t wait to see what his next series is.

Love it!

This was a great story, and one heck of a deal for a single credit. 9/10, highly recommend.

Really good series

I really enjoyed this series. The narrator did an excellent job throughout. His pacing was strong, the character voices were distinct, and his overall performance consistently enhanced the story.

Each book was enjoyable, though it felt like the author truly found his stride midway through the second book. From that point forward, the story became more engaging and confident. By the time the series concluded, I found myself wanting more time with these characters and their adventures.

A few issues stood out. In the first book, the main character reacts surprisingly little to being enslaved and to other severe events, which felt unrealistic at times. This may be due to this being the author’s first published work, as character depth improves later in the series. Additionally, some dialogue felt out of place within the setting. The main character frequently uses modern slang and pop culture references that other characters clearly do not understand, and this continues even into the fourth book after he has spent significant time bonding with them. This occasionally broke immersion.

Despite these issues, the series was an enjoyable listen overall, and the strong narration helped elevate the experience.
