    LitRPG Audiobook Podcast 076 - Noobtown Book 5, Mixed Martial Cultivator, Dungeon Crawler Carl   You can read the full reviews and show notes if you visit us at:  https://litrpgpodcast.com/litrpg-audiobook-podcast-075  “Hello everyone. Welcome to the LitRPG Audiobook Podcast. I’m Ray. I’ll be reviewing some recent and classic LitRPG Audiobooks for you. I’ll begin with: ”   Noob Game Plus - Noobtown Book 5 (02:08) Score: 8.6 out of 10 https://amzn.to/3s0r98w    Mixed Martial Cultivator Series Complete Box Set (14:31) Score: 8.4 out of 10 https://amzn.to/3juuZ5W    Soundbooth Spotlight   Dungeon Crawler Carl (25:40) Score: 8.6 out of 10 https://amzn.to/37qEtcY    ------------------   Noob Game Plus By: Ryan Rimmel Narrated by: Johnathan McClain Series: Noobtown, Book 5 Length: 17 hrs and 23 mins Book five in the series, and this series is only getting better.  I often cite this series in conjunction with Ugland’s Guy series, whereas that series and its companion pieces remain steady, I can’t help but feel that Noobtown improves every time I get a new book.  That, by the way, is not a knock on either of the Guy series which I feel are completely amazing, only that Noobtown seems to have no problem hitting new notes and is not afraid to takes risks. For example, the intrepid mayor Jim, pretty much eschews most of his supporting cast as he ends up remorting in Flacon Crest with a completely new class and few of his old skills.  Shart is still trapped in limbo and Badgerlore is leagues away.  Jim is pretty much on his own and makes one hell of an escape.  Things just get wilder from there.  One of the best parts of the series is the reuse of running gags, particularly the fecking pumas and puma checks.  The line, “Wait, there are pumas too?” literally made me do a spit take and I wasn’t drinking anything at all.  Thankfully, the humor isn’t just limited to that little bit, like when Jim surfs on an unconscious bear he has to keep beaning to keep in unconscious made my ribs hurt.  Rimmel makes me jealous of his ability to take a scene and make it utterly kill with just a subtle few words or actions.  For instance, the assassin the keeps getting her face messed up and talks with a lisp due to broken teeth was one of the best bits I’ve read in a long time. One of the things I feared was that with the remort there were going to be too many changes and a new direction for the series.  One this book first came out, i.e. pre-audio, I talked to a guy who absolutely hated it due to all the changes.  I now question whether he actually read the book at all, since the “changes” were necessary and a part of the overall story for some time.  Jim always had to remort.  It was inevitable.  Some unexpected things is that Jim does do is to get a new new name, Oh Really, you ask?  And I say, yes, really.  It is a great introspection into his character, and helps show just how shattered he is from the fight with the dark overlord.  Additionally, Rimmel breaks the 4th wall, aka Deadpool, no more like She-Hulk, and also takes a moment to pay some homage to his narrator.  Personally, I just don’t get how you can have a narrator named John McClain and not have some character say Yippie Ki-ayy or Come out the coast and have a few laughs.  When we met the orcs I thought that moment was nigh, but alas!  Not. Speaking of Johnathan McClain, can I just say his contribution to this series cannot be overemphasized or overstated.  The man knows how to do a table reading, and his malicious lisping killer was wonderful.  I was heartbroken when she got to a dentist “off screen”.  Also, the aforementioned, “Wait, there are pumas, too!?!” line was interrobanged with perfection.  McClain only elevates, and interjects even more into the humor when he reads his lines.  There are damn few narrators who can do what he does. Overall, the book was a more than pleasant surprise.  It was action packed, pulsed with humor, had character growth, and served to move the story ahead in a neat little package.  My final score is an easy 8.6 stars.  I hated to see this book end. -------------------------   Mixed Martial Cultivator Series Complete Box Set By: Austin Beck Narrated by: Robert West, Erin Bateman Length: 22 hrs and 39 mins Here’s one I held off on for a while.  Why?  I figured you’d ask me that.  Well, if I’m honest I will tell you that the narration done in book one was lacking, and it was so lacking that it stood out and I didn’t want to pull the equivalent of slashing a narrator’s tires, so I opted not to review.  That being said, others noticed this as well, and I guess enough people mentioned it that they went back and rerecorded lines with a different narrator.  It was a nice save.  So let me start there. The original narration was on a bumpy road, but after a work crew came in, they fixed the problem.  Thankfully, it doesn’t sound like ...

    LitRPG Audiobook Podcast 075 -Critical Failures IV, Tower of Ruin, Delvers LLC: Golden Handcuffs   You can read the full reviews and show notes if you visit us at:  https://litrpgpodcast.com/litrpg-audiobook-podcast-075  “Hello everyone. Welcome to the LitRPG Audiobook Podcast. I’m Ray. I’ll be reviewing some recent and classic LitRPG Audiobooks for you. I’ll begin with: ”   Critical Failures IV: The Phantom Pinas (01:03) Score: 6.5 out of 10 https://amzn.to/3swePvk    Tower of Ruin: Volume I  (14:56) Score: 8.2 out of 10 https://amzn.to/3mZuXEB    Soundbooth Spotlight   Delvers LLC: Golden Handcuffs (22:56) Score: 7.6 out of 10 https://amzn.to/3mYi3Xu    ------------------   Critical Failures IV: The Phantom Pinas Caverns and Creatures, Book 4 By: Robert Bevan Narrated by: Jonathan Sleep Series: Caverns and Creatures, Book 4 Length: 10 hrs and 33 mins   Pause This is going to be a series review up to book four. Have reviewed other books in the series, but I’m going to talk about the over all arch and my thoughts on why I am done with this series in general.   Bevan starts of with one of my favorite concepts.  Gamers sucked into their gaming world.  They inhabit the bodies of their characters, but keep their minds as players.  There is an evil DM who they have to outwit, and the perils of the new world that is a combo of the player’s disbelief in where they are to the machinations of the nerdy DM.   Premise and initial novel were great, and who doesn’t like an orc that craps himself everytime he turns around?  Third book actually has a pretty cool vampire subplot, and the heroes figure out a way back home, before inevitably going back to where they came from with some other folks in tow.   The problem is the series went from humorous to, and God forgive me for using this phrase, utterly cringe.  I don’t even know if I’m using that term correctly, but I cringed throughout most of book 4.  The short jokes, the poop jokes, the gay jokes are nothing new, and there were points where it just felt super forced an completely unfunny.  I actually stopped halfway through book 4 and let it sit for a long time before coming back to it in the hopes that I just wasn’t in the right frame of mind, but no.   What happened?  What changed?  First of all, the humor remained the same juvenile bunch of fart jokes without the humor.  Kinda like how Stephen King does nothing but write novels around characters who pick boogers and bottles farts and adding in monsters or whatever.  His stuff isn’t funny and neither is Bevan’s after the 7,000th time Horse is used.   What else?  The characters all of them, literally become dumber in this book.  Maybe dimension hopping adversely affects brains, but no one acts like that have a bit of sense in their heads in this book.  The only interesting part was the invention of a new god.  Had I read this it would have felt like I had scrubbed my eyes with sandpaper, having listened to it it felt like I cleaned out my ears with a sewing needle.   That wasn’t the fault of Jonathan Sleep, though. He is the one bright spot, and he does his best to make this book work.  Too bad Bevan does nothing to help him succeed.   Honestly, I’m done with the series, and you want to know the bad part?  I have all the short story audiobooks and up to book 6, because I grabbed them all waaaaay back when I first read book one and have been parsing them out.  And I will never finish them, and I have had them so long I can’t even turn them in for a refund, not that I would.  I bought them, and I’m stuck with them.  It’s on me for being so foolish.   Up until now this series was a solid seven and a half, but this book is a 6.5.  I didn’t enjoy, but you might, and I know the series has some staunch fans, so someone has to like it but I am through with uninspired and unoriginal “humor”. You want funny, get Noobtown or the Good/Bad guys series.  You’ll be happier.  6.5 stars.   -----------------------   Tower of Ruin: Volume I By: Wolfe Locke Narrated by: Travis Baldree Series: Pandemonium - Afterlife, Book 1 Length: 4 hrs and 9 mins Pause My biggest complaint is that this book is far too short, and I mean that in you are left wanting so much more.  IN that sense, I suppose it reminds me of the Luck Stat Strategy by Blaise Corvin, as that too was a concise but impactful novel.   The book is a tower climb novel, so fans of that subgenre will rejoice and it is also one of those sort of time travel back to the start novels that seems to get paired up with tower climbing. Basically, the MC exists in a tower that resets you when you die, but you start out completely new.  The MC, Daniel, gets to keep his memory and gets a cool weapon when he goes back and has a chance to make changes and a difference, the problem is the tower has overseers and they were unstoppable the first time around, so if you couldn’t stop them the ...

You talk in circles about nothing. try to focus.
pick one topic at a time, talk about it, then move on.
maybe you want to try to make an outline before you start your show.
