Story
This is a tale that used to be about dungeons... Now it's mostly about walking in the woods with a friend, looking for mushrooms to put in your soup. Maybe haggling with the squash seller, or taking care of a neglected garden, or even just putting some jam on a good shortbread biscuit. And yes, sometimes you still go down into the dungeons with your friends, and kill monsters there, disarm traps, avoid spiked pits etcetera, etcetera. But when you come out now, it's not really about the gold and loot.

Story
When Kers is reborn as a dungeon core, he finds himself stuck in the most improbable of places: a cloud. High in the sky and far away from the usual solid resources, Kers must face the obvious question: How is a dungeon to build itself without wood or stone? Luckily, Kers has the sarcastic (and sometimes helpful) fairy Selena to help him get his bearings. Together, the pair delight in exploring Kers’ weird existence, creating novel mobs, and enticing adventures to plumb the lofty heights of his floors.

Fight, survive, adapt, and rely only on yourself. That is Derek’s creed and what's got him through the System Integration on Earth. Everything changed when the System came. Cute bunnies and beautiful butterflies became savage killing machines. Then the Invaders arrived with a single goal: to obtain ownership of this new habitable planet. War has raged ever since. None of this mattered much to Derek, aside from making living a little more perilous.

At least, Jason tries to be heroic, but it's hard to be good when all your powers are evil. He’ll face off against cannibals, cultists, wizards, monsters...and that’s just on the first day. He’s going to need courage, he’s going to need wit, and he’s going to need some magic powers of his own. But first, he’s going to need pants.

Publisher's summary
Always the Dungeon Master, never the player.
Juniper Smith was always a creator of worlds rather than the one who walked within them…until now.
Somehow, the tables have turned in the most dramatic way possible. Juniper finds himself in a world filled with the wildest fantasies a mind could come up with, and his fingerprints are all over it.
Throughout this world, echoes of his own ideas and plots leave him feeling like he’s always one step behind. He finds bits and pieces of ancient influence strewn about every town he goes through. One thing is clear, though: Juniper walks this magical new world in someone else’s shadow.
It might all add up to something vital...if only he can survive long enough to figure it out.
This top-rated Royal Road-hit with over 3 million views is now brought to you in professionally formatted audio available exclusively on Audible.

Story
Drake needed a new start, and the small farm on the outskirts of the kingdom seemed like the perfect chance. Just one problem: he doesn't know the first thing about farming. He's also not sure how to deal with the giant, magical rooster that lives on his farm. But it's a fresh start, and Drake intends to make the best of it. Daily chores, a slew of monsters, and a haunted garden are one thing, but when his past catches up to him, Drake will have to learn to juggle his new responsibilities, a budding social life, and a secret that could cost him everything.

A great start to a series!
It has characters that feel very real and not like fantastical extremes. I really appreciated the development of relationships. How they felt like they were naturally developed in the narrative and were not forced by the narrative. Also the romance feels realistic and not rushed considering the age of the characters. All together a great book that I feel works for young adult readers and adults.

Great start to a great series
I read the original web serial and enjoyed it all the way through. I've never had the chance to seriously play DnD but Juniper and his story made me a lot more interested in getting around to it one day. I can't wait to have the entire story in audiobook format.

Isekai and litRPG with everything done right.
"Everything done right" is obviously subjective. But there are a lot of things that this kind of story can get wrong, and it doesn't.
The protagonist COULD be a bland cookie-cutter character, whose personality alters nothing and whose history is irrelevant. Here, the protagonist's history shaped who they are, and informs what they do.
The world COULD be stock fantasy without texture, or the game system could be exactly what you expect. Here, the world is an interesting and eclectic blend of ideas that weren't designed to work together, forced to coexist. Even more rare, the game system isn't a barely-legally-distinct D&D clone, or a series of overpowered perks handed out at narrative behest.
Characters COULD make sloppy decisions in order to drive the plot. Here, the protagonist thinks things through and arrives at sensible conclusions. Characters around him act on their own motivations, to accomplish their goals. There is introspection and discussion.
Obviously, it's not enough to just "avoid missteps". Worth the Candle is also fun and satisfying. That's the sort of thing that's a lot harder to explain why, but it's also a big part of what the star ratings are for. The narrator is an excellent fit, able to give lively and distinct voices to male and female characters alike. I'll be impatiently waiting for the next audiobook, even having read the original.

the best of what Litrpg has to offer
This is what I think about when I think about what an isekai litrpg should look like. While this type of story is not my favorite, I can very much appreciate how well executed this is by the author. Alexander Wales understands the essence of what makes tabletop role-playing games entertaining, and he skillfully entwines all of those elements in the pages of this book.

Great Web Serial
The easiest part of reviewing this audiobook is to say that Eric Michael Summerer, the narrator, does a fantastic job. Really no criticisms. The production, too, is top notch. This is a totally professional modern audiobook.
The harder part to review is the book itself, largely because it's not really a book; it's the first part of a long web serial. It doesn't have the normal structure of a story with rising action, climax, and conclusion. Or at the very least those things aren't here in just this volume, there's hints at them coming later but I've not actually read the web series.
Instead, this book has an excellent introduction and from there reads as a sequence of events and adventures that just flow from one to the next. If you go into it understanding this and ok with it, then you're probably going to have a good time.
The author is excellent and the world building is just wonderful. The primary conceit of the book, that the main character is stuck in some kind of game, is played very entertainingly with lots of well designed subversions of all kinds of fantasy and game tropes. There's only a few characters, but they all feel distinct and real (which is in itself a subversion as they begin to question their own agency). The free flow from adventure to adventure does leave the book somewhat lacking in well developed villains, but there's setup to indicate that they are likely coming in future installments.
I blasted through this book quickly, it never felt like a slog or a chore. It was breezy and fun the whole way through which is really just how I like it.
I really wasn't planning on listening to the whole web serial, but now I'm really into it and am at least going to check out the second book. I definitely recommend this to anyone who understands what they're getting into and is still interested.

I took a chance on this one…
With my cue bereft of “sure things,” I decided to take a risk on a new author and audiobook without enough reviews to guess what I was in for.
But I was pleasantly surprised… while this audiobook was not the best I’ve read in the genre it was well written and realized. The plot was interesting and expansive and the mysteries were more than good enough to keep me engaged.
It wasn’t perfect. EMS isn’t always my favorite narrator but his performance was more than adequate here. The author also has a tendency to break up the flow of the story with asides and backstory. However, for the most part those interludes were relevant enough to keep from feeling like filler. I just might have liked them to be placed so as not to interrupt the action.
On the whole I believe this is worth the credit. The author managed to bring a lot of table-top gaming into the story without succumbing to the temptation to include dice rolls into the combat and interaction systems.
This made this LitRPG feel unique and different from the ho-hum, average GameLit that audible keeps recommending.
