The Archemi Online Chronicles Boxset: Books 1, 2 & 3

A LitRPG Epic Fantasy Series (The Archemi Online Chronicles)

By: James Osiris Baldwin

Narrated by: Justin Thomas James, Jeff Hays, Laurie Catherine Winkel, Soundbooth Theater

Three epic LitRPG books, now in one volume!

Before being conscripted to fight in the Total War, Private Hector Park had a shattered family, a collection of old video games, and a promising career as a motorcycle stuntman. Now, he is dying from a virus threatening humankind with extinction. He has three days to live. When Hector’s brother contacts him after years of hostile silence, Hector goes to try and make peace. But his brother offers him something even better: the chance to cheat death by joining him in Archemi, a full-immersion fantasy VR-RPG video game.

Hector undergoes the experimental upload process and chooses the difficult path of the dragon knight. To achieve his dream, he must prove himself worthy of imprinting a dragon, a being with whom he will share a telepathic bond more intimate than any human relationship. But at what cost?

Join Hector as he finds his wings, levels up, and transforms from an aspiring dragon knight to a powerful force of change in his new reality. This omnibus contains three full-length novels, a link to an hour of free audio, and much more!

LITRPG masterpiece

I didn’t realize how much I needed this book. I’m a huge fan of the LitRPG genre but Im’ so tired of authors placing the emphasis on stats and RPG mechanics over the actual story and character development. This book series is fantastic because it makes the story the center piece and the main characters have actual growth, not just in stats but in their personality. However, what took this series into another whole level of amazingness were the two narrators phenomenal performance, I can’t overstate enough how great they both were and now I’m sad because it’s going to be hard trying to find another series that is this fantastic.

WELL DONE!

Great story from the start and both narrators do a great job! Glad I listened and look forward to listening to the rest.

Great story and performance

Like the title says, not a lot of audio books put this kind of performance into the stories.

Adult themes

Slight spoiler warning!

Honestly adult themes (sexual encounters/nudity) always feel awkward and distract to heavily from the main story most of the time. This story is no different. It feels very out of place for what is suppose to be high elven society, I can understand certain scenarios where it can work. But it’s extremely hard to hit right. Overall the scenes were far to jaring even if they were short.

A warning would be appreciated in description.

Story is very solid though, and the idea and world building are pretty good! Narration wasn’t bad either

Good listen

I always enjoy a book with many hours of listening for 1 credit. This one was well worth it.

MC is childish

I love the world building and the narration of everyone In arkame. But I will say that the main character hector catches feelings for every female he runs into. He’s like a hormonal teenager but in the body of a late 20 yr old. He he keeps nagging about how everyone is a (npc) and how nothing is real.. it’s very annoying to listen to.

Audio engineering needs work

Story has an interesting premise, but is let down by the audio mixing and could benefit from additional editing. The volume levels in many scenes are too extreme, ranging from unintelligible whispers, to loud shouting. The overall lore is very entertaining though!

First introduction to RPG Book with no regrets!

I had plenty of laughs listening to these books. Picked up the rest of the series. It has Strong story, supporting characters, and voice acting was great! These books held my attention more and more as time went on. I would love to see this as a movie or show!

Good story, but repetitive

I genuinely have enjoyed this story. It is compelling and interesting, and overall a great listening experience. Slight spoilers for my only issues with the story. So far, each of the books sets up their final act with a betrayal or other such twist that leads to the capture and eventual escape of Hector. While this is fine on its own, said sequence of events becomes more frustrating with each repetition. I will be listening to the fourth installment, but may drop the series of this pattern continues.

A great litrpg ride!

Strong character development with a world ending story. The narration performance is one of the best too.
