The Culling of Man

A LitRPG Apocalypse (Peril's Prodigy, Book 1)

By: Craig Kobayashi

Narrated by: Michael Norman Johnson

I'll bet you've never listened to anything like the final boss at the end of this 24-hour LitRPG apocalypse.

Garath was a gamer that spent his time adventuring in magical worlds behind a keyboard. He was exploring one of those very worlds when the planet that he actually inhabited became suddenly, and drastically more interesting.

The ability to shapeshift into a house cat or summon a demon to serve him were things that were only possible in video games and epic fantasy novels, until they weren't. He may not have had the luxury of a controller or mouse to explore his new abilities, but Garath's dream came true when Earth was fundamentally altered. More akin now to the RPG games that he loved so much than the 9-5 grind he'd woken up to that morning. He's a quick study, though, and learns quickly that this new Earth isn't just fun and games.

The tutorial kills everybody.

Well not everybody. Almost everybody. Garath and a motley crew of friends and neighbors band together to survive. They are forced to work together using their new abilities to hold off the increasingly deadly waves of monsters.

The Peril's Prodigy series features 30 unique Classes, a human racial ability to shapeshift, character leveling, some things you really just can't un-hear, and a look into the future of this new Earth. It will make you laugh. It will make you cringe. And if you're anything like Garath, it'll make you wonder where in the hell on this new video game Earth were all the god damn hot elves?

***Full disclosure: This is not a harem novel. There are no hot elves.

Really Great Start

Apocalyptic Litrpg. Very reminiscent of Tao Wongs Litrpg series. The Mc is much more tolerable though. Heavy system mechanics. Very interested in the future of this series.

Great Story! Can't wait for book two

The Culling of Man is a fun story by a new author Craig Kobayashi. It is an interesting take on the post-apocalyptic litrpg genre and I think it hits all the marks. The characters are interesting and the audiobook kept my attention the entire run time. The narration is good and I enjoyed my time with this one. I look forward to book 2.

Awesome!

Couldn’t stop listening to it! The MC isn’t OP and isn’t clueless....no harem either.

kinda drags on . ehh

its ok . weird unnecessary stuff happens. mostly good but i wont be reading part two because nothing really caught my attention.

Good Content, Narrator Not So Much

I was not able to finish the book due to the narration, but the overall content was good. I just couldn't deal with the narrator's voice. The transformation ability is a little OP but if you can get past the narration you'll probably enjoy this book. It's standard litRPG without any harem garbage.
