À propos de cet audio
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.

Histoire
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.

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.

Histoire
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.

Sameerixis, or Sam for those who actually know him, isn’t what you’d call normal. He’s a door-to-door salesman, of sorts. One that peddles wares, wishes, and whims to anyone willing to pay his prices. Prices that usually involve a few years of your life, maybe a handful of days, or a single night of pleasure that’ll cost a few hours. He’s an incubus that solves problems. Mental, emotional, spiritual, material, and anything and everything in between. Sam can provide an answer and resolution.

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.

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.

She's unlike any one or any thing else: a Non-Standard Leashed-Intelligence Cybernetic Enforcer aka NSLICE-00P. The first of her kind, she's let loose into a universe of superheroes on behalf of her sinister masters to destroy all who oppose them. And everything's going according to plan—until NSLICE-00P gets hacked and sent into the past to kill her own creator before he creates her. Obeying orders as always, she wastes the poor guy. Unfortunately, there are consequences to initiating a reality-breaking time paradox. The most significant: total ejection from that reality.

Have you ever felt like there was something inside of you pushing your actions? A dormant beast, so to speak. I know it sounds crazy. But, that’s the best way I could describe how I’ve felt for a long time. I thought it was normal, some animal part of the human brain that lingered from evolution. But, this is the story of how I learned I wasn’t exactly human, and there was a world underneath our own where all the things that go bump in the night live. And, that my beast was very real indeed.

Warner spent his days like almost anyone else. He got up, went to work, answered phone calls in a call center, went home, spent time with his daughter, and went to sleep. Only to repeat the pattern over and over and over. Life was as mundane as anyone could ever fear it to be. Today was the day that all that would change. On this day, his daughter Maya would be nearly fatally injured, plunging Warner into a world of paranormal creatures, monsters, and magic he’d never known existed. The only consolation is that he discovers he’s not quite human, either.

In a world full of super powers, Felix has a pretty crappy one. He has the ability to modify any item he owns. To upgrade anything. Sounds great on paper. Almost like a video game. Except that the amount of power it takes to actually change, modify, or upgrade anything worthwhile is beyond his abilities. With that in mind, Felix settled into a normal life. A normal job. His entire world changes when the city he lives in is taken over by a super villain. Becoming a country of one city. A city state.

Steve had experience when it came to waking up with hangovers. Being attacked by kobolds? Not so much. After rousing in the middle of a monster-filled forest, he was sure his life was over. That was until he was saved by a fire-wielding angel who was anything but human. Now Steve finds himself a temporary guest on a small run-down farm filled with monster girls who need his help. None more so than the canine beauty responsible for saving his skin.

Loved the story. Andrea was a brilliant pick for the narrator. The bloopers are hilarious.

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.
