Story
An existence spent being forced to kill others to satiate a monster. Where the only thing to look forward to was the blessed, if brief, period of time between paying that bribe. Except that very same monster is and isn’t Rene. It just happened to live inside his own mind and force him to do what it wanted.

Story
When an ambitious teenage girl from Earth finds herself in a magical realm, she could be the hero—but she'd prefer to be the villain. When power-hungry Everly is reborn into a medieval world where elemental magic rules and she receives her elemental servants—the oddly sadistic Eris and the fun-loving Titania—years earlier than one typically would, she knows she's destined for a command of necromantic magic the likes of which her peers can only dream.

Story
Reports to write, forms to fill, coffee to drink, leads to run down. Gus’s life was a tedium and boredom he’d grown comfortable with. One that he sought out after he’d come back from his tour of duty. A detective in the paranormal investigations department. A job he could work day in and day out in relative peace. One cold and forgotten cup of coffee at a time. It was an environment that made some sense to him. At least in comparison to civilian life where almost nothing did. On top of that, it gave him a chance to hide what he was from the rest of the world.

Story
Growing up, she was the girl down the street. Even then, I knew she was different. She was tough, rough, and had the strength to stop a speeding car with her bare hands. We were as thick as thieves, sharing every adventure. Then one day she revealed a secret. She wasn't from Earth. She was from a distant place called the Arcadia Multiverse. Her people lived under the rule of a god-like entity known as the System. That System had its gaze fixed on Earth. And it was only a matter of time before it came for us.

Change looms behind Greystone's colossal walls as guilds vanish, arena fighters wind up dead, and whispers of a great war permeate the streets. My name is Cade, a man driven by vengeance, and I am going to bring it all down!

Have you ever woken up, rolled over, and thought to yourself, “I’m pretty sure I’m working for a Super Villain.” If you haven’t, then maybe you’re not the type of person to work for a global corporation. Edmund, however, is just such an individual. He works for Legion: a corporation of unimaginable reach that he barely understands, a corporation that seems determined to put itself smack dab in the middle of a brewing civil war between Super Heroes and Super Villains.

My master created me for his entertainment, leading adventurers to ruin. Betraying them at the last moment, just when their glorious victory was on hand. I have been found again by the newest member of a quartet of dungeon crawlers. Poor fool. This time will be no different. Or does it have to be? Maybe I don't need to spend eternity left in a deep, dark dungeon waiting to devour would-be heroes. Maybe, just maybe, I can take him over and use this new identity to leave and masquerade as an adventurer myself.

In The Waste, every fantasy creature, fairytale demon, or mythological monster exists. From orcs, to neriads, ogres, trolls, wraiths, elves, harpies, and even beastmen. They all exist, and all despise humankind. In the ruins of the west and east coasts, new governments have arisen. With new jobs. Vince is a Ranger, a profession whose sole job duty is surviving in the waste, and taking missions from the Ranger Guild. Be it courier services, escorts, or simply exploring tombs and cities.

Ryker only has one goal in his life right now: Turn a certain adventuring guild into a flaming wreck while dancing merrily through the smoldering ruins. All for the chance to get back at a handful of people. It isn’t as if they didn’t deserve it either. They had driven him from his home. Chased him physically from the very guild house itself. Simply because he wasn’t as strong as they expected him to be. As strong as he’d expected himself to be. He’d returned the next day and left with something he’d hidden away and told no one about when he found it in one of his few Dungeon Dives.

Publisher's Summary
An existence spent being forced to kill others to satiate a Monster.
Where the only thing to look forward to was the blessed, if brief, period of time between paying that bribe.
Except that very same Monster is and isn’t Rene.
It just happened to live inside his own mind and force him to do what it wanted. Rather than being an actual Monster.
That was Rene’s entire life until a fateful day changed that.
A day that the career as a hitman for hire built on the Monster’s needs will end. Where Rene will be forced to atone for his actions. To be held accountable and judged.
Except the verdict is already long since passed and needs no deliberation.
His sentence was being sent hundreds of years into the past, into a different world even, where he must live a life for the betterment of others. Every action judged as it happens and weighed out against him.
But even this new idyllic life he’s been living in for 18 years is about to go off the rails and Rene will be forced back into a life lived in the underworld.
Armed with a few gifts granted to him by the one who judged him, gifts better suited to a fantasy about living in a video game, Rene has to maneuver his way back to his new life while using all the things he’d learned in his old one.
Except using those skills is a double-edged sword. If he’s not careful, he’ll end up right back where he started.
Dead and on his way to hell.
Warning and minor spoiler: This novel contains graphic violence, undefined relationships/harem, unconventional opinions/beliefs, and a hero who is as tactful as a dog at a cat show. Listen at your own risk.

Loved the story. Andrea was a brilliant pick for the narrator. The bloopers are hilarious.
I hope William writes a sequel.

Amazing story
I enjoyed every bit of this from the dark humour of the watcher to the kid like behaviour of Rene's "friend".
Andrea did a fantastic job of making all the voices believable, including all of Rene's different public characters.

I didn't like the high pitched voice of the narrator when she does the ladies characters but it's still worth listening. However, the bloopers at the end was a blast.

kind of RPGlit
Renee is a hit-man with a monster living in his head that makes him murder things. during an unfortunate accident. he ends up dying and a god picks him up and puts him in another world where he gets to live a relatively normal life. but he's told the monster will come back if is needed. Renee is kidnapped and the monster comes back. Renee must live a good life because if his karma bar goes into the red, he will be destroyed and "skull fucked" by the god.
The device of the monster as Renee's subconscious kind of works, but it is sort of clunky. I said this is kind of RPG lit because every time Renee either learns a new skill or gets better at it, wants to see how much health he has, or find out what shape his Karma is in, he is given a video game style reading and explanation. Some of his skills like Analyse seem to know no bounds of power.
Overall the narration is competent. A lot of the characters speak with the same voice so it is difficult to tell them apart, but they die soon so it does't matter.
I liked the characters and the world. I will get other books in the series,

Couldn't get past the Crudity
The premise behind this story is actually fairly clever. A sociopathic hitman (Rene) - in constant dialogue with an internal "monster" - is transported into an RPG-like reality.. one that requires him to show empathy and heroic attributes in order to succeed. William D. Arand's story has the typical gain experience/grind skills/level up aspects of these books, but concentrates on Alignment. Admirably, he avoids focussing on character sheets and inventory screens - 'Monster's Mercy' works better in the audiobook format than many LitRPG offerings. Additionally, the plot is fairly sinuous, the dialogue is realistic, and the characters are intriguing. Less fortunately, Arand spends an inordinate amount of time on potty-humor and incel fantasy 'harem' nonsense - this book ends up being disappointingly puerile. It's clearly aimed at 13-year-old boys.
Andrea Parsneau's reading compounds the weaker aspects of the audiobook. Her tone/timbre/cadence and diction are creditable, but she reads too slowly (setting playback speed at 1.15X improved the narration) and her voice-acting is straight-up *brutal*: She cartoonishly growls some dialogue, chuckles nasally prior to every stupid monster rhyme, reads female voices with grating falsettos, and gives Rene a nonsensical British accent. I'm aware she has worked with Arand before, but he should have hired someone else for the project.
I'm admittedly not a huge fan of this genre, but have consumed enough GameLit to recognize quality and garbage. This 1.5 star out of 10 offering shows some promise.. later books could build on some genuine strengths if the author assembles a series.. but it's inferior. I bought the book on sale - and it was an okay purchase for the $6.25 CDN I paid for it - but unless you're already a fan of Mr. Arand, try something else.
