Resumen del Editor

It could be worse. You could be stuck with a literal shoulder demon.

After dying and being reborn into a world that's built like a video game, Jim has found himself stuck in a very old-world style new-player zone for low-level adventurers. Unfortunately, the zone fell out of use centuries ago, and no one told the monsters they were supposed to take it easy on the Noobs. Even worse, the only new player around is Jim.

Jim has been given an opportunity, and he'll do his best to take advantage of it.

One of my new favorites.

This book is great. I have pretty much every LitRPG worth listening to on Audible (and more than a few I wish I could return once the series took a dive), and this is by far one of my favorites. If you like shit talking and sarcasm, as most gamers do, you’ll love this book. I laughed out loud numerous times while listening to this book, which for me is rare…especially in this genre. Spend the credit. You won’t be disappointed. (except for wanting more)

Pretty decent start

I both like this book and loath the beginning as it both tragic and the MC was so close to incredible power but was literally interrupted at the last second before he could obtain it.

Overall a good story with plenty crunchy to it and overall a very interesting idea for the main characters abilities. I feel that the MC will eventually become OP but is so noobish that he will bumble it somehow. Other than that I really did enjoy the story and look forward to the next one coming to audio.

better then i expected!!! much better

Really enjoyed it thought. Now iam hooked may not be perfect but damn close get it you'll like it!

title almost threw me

like I said in the header line to title did almost throw me and almost didn't get this book a chance. but if you like the land by aleron Kong, and thoroughly enjoy litrpg books you will enjoy this one. although there were status update that were somewhat long-winded and came at points in the chapter where it wasn't feasible to fast forward didn't distract from the story too much and am thoroughly looking forward to the next one. hopefully it does not take too long and will probably be releasing to this book within the next week

fun and original...

I laughed out loud..and was continually surprised..i kept saying..."well...I didn't see that coming..." highly recommend

Surprisingly good book

I stumbled upon this book through audibles recommendations. After checking all my "must have" (a majority of good reviews, a sequel that also has good reviews, reasonable long book etc etc) I downloaded this one. And to my joy it was really good.

The narrator (Johnathan McClain) has this little extra that even makes the normal tedious character sheath really funny and amusing to listen to, absolutely a brilliant narrator.

The books is an interesting but not very different version of wake up in a rpg-world, mc starts as a noob etc. A clever thing is an annoying and very funny side character that has it´s place and makes the story flow and is a target for much joy. My thoughts goes to a certain beer can in another book series, being an asshole seem to be a good recipe for humor.

All in all, a really good book that made me promptly go buy book two in the series. There is no real, evil cliffhanger in the end so I guess it´s ok to just read this one and come back later. The books is in all regards very satisfying, I really recommend it.

kickass story

the writing by Ryan is absolutely stellar and the audio side is absolutely so much fun to listen to. this is a must listen to series

A hilarious bit of LITRPG and play on words

I'm a HUGE LITRPG fan. I've read...well, a lot of these books. Enough to know the established tropes and have gained my share of pet-peeves from reused jokes. In my typical fashion, I'm just going to pro/con this out:

PROS
* The MC is on another world after having his soul intercepted after he died on earth. This isn't a spoiler. You find this out very early in the book. I say this to make the point that too often LITRPG's have an MC who ends up in a new world and is completely okay with everything. This isn't the case. Many things the MC encounters reminds him of his family. He gets reminiscent enough for the reader to know that he hasn't forgotten where he came from, who he left, or even really given up hope that maybe he might be able to get back to them..

* The game system is vast and has a great amount of depth to it. You can tell the author put a lot of work into the system without making all the details too overbearing.

* The interplay between the MC and Shart.

* Name jokes. At least the first 5 times, it's funny. After that, it does get old.

* The MC, even though he's constantly harassed by Shart, isn't an idiot. I don't know what the deal with dumb MC's is as it's quite common in LITRPG, but it's good to see an MC with some smarts. ... most of the time. Feckin puma forest...but that's book 2.

CONS

* Name jokes...from #5 onwards.

* Sharts constant 'You dumb dumb!' lines. Granted, this kind of goes both ways because some times it is funny.

Great Concept, Humour well done

I like how relatable the MC is, and also how ridiculous some of the situation finds himself in. I really enjoyed Starts wisecracks. Well done all around!

Great Book!

I really enjoyed the book. It was very entertaining. I will be looking forward to the rest of the series.
