Quick, roll your stats!

Now are you good? Evil? Or just whatever you want to be? Who do you wish to worship? Want to stay human or become something else, say like an elf, dwarf, or gnome? Or maybe you want to be one of the monsters that the world will be facing? Are you smart enough to know more languages just because Are you a fighter, wizard, rogue, or a heal bot cleric?

Make sure to choose your abilities and skills with care, they may just save your life. Oh, and don't forget armor and something to hit things with.

Wait, you ran out of time!? Better find a cleric and level up to finish, or else you're going to die and you'll only have yourself to blame for lollygagging.

Now, join Jason as he figures all of this out and decides what path he will walk as the world around him changes drastically without notice. Will he succeed or fail? How will he handle the tough decisions that such an apocalyptic situation presents? Finally, just what role does the witch Caitlin have to play in everything?

Real quick for those who are wondering: Yes, this is a LitRPG/gamelit story. No, it's not a harem, but it will have a bit of bigamy in it. Yes, my wife/coauthor who can't stand harem has agreed with how it's done. No, we didn't write any naughty fun time scenes. Yes, there is adventure. No, it's not another VR adventure. And finally, yes, there are zombie chickens!

So, welcome to Role-Playing Gamified Earth, if you survive that is...

I listen to a lot of these sort of books. I find a few real gems and enjoy them enough to re-listen many times.

This is not a gem. It’s mostly a late teen power fancy by someone who doesn’t have enough imagination to come up with their own fantasy rule system.

The borrowing of a famous known system, without naming its six 4D6 drop the lowest name, was a red flag. The fact that the character gen was the 4D6 drop the lowest but you have rerolls speaks to a teenage power gamer who wouldn’t have taken a character with a low stat total.

Borrowing so much from the system to the point that referencing resurrection costing 1000 gold worth of diamond dust because of course it will and YET not being consistent with the borrowing so I can’t be sure what edition the author had in their head and knowing they aren’t following any one… it bugs me. Scrap it all, or follow it all, don’t smear it all together without rhyme or reason.

So things are so inconsistent.

It’s clear the author wants the character to hook up with two women but wants the character to be ‘moral’ and forced into it because his goddess and the two women are all maneaters and want him. It doesn’t work as written. Dragging the story down in such a way having the MC complain about it doesn’t help but highlights how everyone involved knows it’s bad.

So it comes back to the lack of imagination. There isn’t any wondrous or interesting ideas here. A stew of yet more of the same enemies, problems seen in popular movies and names borrowed from mythology but no reading on the rituals/beliefs/practices of those who followed those names.

I nearly made it to the end, but bailed just shy of finishing. I got tired of nothing worth staying with it happening.

I am sure others will enjoy the teenage power fantasy for the escapism it represents, but I do promise you there are other books worth your time more.

A lack of imagination mostly

The book itself is fun, but Rebecca Woods is terrific as usual and really shines in this solo performance. It's an easy listen, and I'm sure I'll continue the series.

Rebecca Woods rocks!
