About this listen

The afterlife isn't always what you think....

A loving father of three children, Albert lived a life of few regrets. He served his country far from home. He outlived his soul mate. He died alone.

However, his assumptions about a peaceful eternity, reunited with his wife, are thrown out the window when a meddling god digs his fingers into Albert's afterlife.

The positive? He will have a chance to see his wife again.

The negative? He has to survive the dangers of the legendary World Tree for the next 300 years. He's been reincarnated into a world full of magical evolutions, monstrous deer, sassy 10-year-old elves, and untold hidden dangers. It won't be easy, but if life has taught Albert anything it's this: If something is worth having, it's worth fighting for. And he intends to fight.

wow

I have never been so invested in a character I hate. the main character is SO WELL WRITTEN. and I was rooting for him from beginning to end. when I say hate, it's because I know that if I actually knew him in real life, we wouldn't get along, not because I actually hate him as a character. theres something to be said about an author who can make you empathize with a character when you know your personalities would clash if they existed for real.

that being said, I am definitely excited to add the next book to my library.

I found myself thinking about this story in between listens, just going about my day. I love when stories have me theorizing about the world they take place in, asking "what if" questions.

I have nothing but good things to say about this story!!

Cant Wait for the next one

This is a wild ride, The guy gets reincarnated as a snake like monster and you go on an adventure with him.

Now this audio-book is nothing new but instead of being the hero your a monster. Ive read manga that are like this and yea its like all of them yet different. Prepare to be enthralled.

What a ride

This book was so well done and the performance was fantastic.

This book spiced up the classic trope of rebirth in a fun an unique way. I would highly recommend for those who enjoy LitRPG books and those who just want a good story.

Can’t wait for the next book!

Enjoyable to the end

I like this more then expected. The mc is pretty funny in his gluttony but the side characters like fenris make the story. The book really picks up once he starts interacting with the worlds rather then just eating everything.
The fast progression would be my only complaint as he seemed to move thru the tiers by skipping every other stage which to me defeats the purpose of a tiered system and kinda makes him op a bit early. That being said most opponents are stronger and its not as one sided as some of the books with op mc's.
Performance was top class tho I wish they would remove the more repetitive rpg menu stuff to adapt it more to the spoken word rather then written. An example would be during evolutions when the narrator repeats note b4 each sentence. Sounds odd and kinda annoying but thats not really a slight and his voices were awesome.

RPG Lit better than the sum of its parts

A guy dies, some god interferes, he is sent to a reality with magic, druids, dragons to await his wife who will be reincarnated as a hero. As he gains skills go goes up levels and has evolution paths. This part is all pretty standard RPGLit stuff. One of the things that sets it apart is he doesn't go to the reality as an elf or other mythical race. He goes down as a snake.

The dialogue is pedestrian. The story is mostly linear. But the aspect of him being a snake and having to find a way to evolve that would get him to make him able to interact with his wife is interesting. Also the subplot of the machinations of the gods is interesting.

The narrator is decent. My concern for the rest of the series is that he has become super powerful by the end of this book, I don't really know if there is anyplace to go. But I guess the end game is he has to fight the gods. I will probably get the next book in the series.

Good story bad character

It a good story and great writing with an even better narrator but the main character is just a douche bag i find myself wanting him to lose every fight because of just how much of a dick he is

Never quite got the point

Kept waiting for it to get better. Never quite happened. If I had realized sooner I would have asked for a refund. Just a story about someone who was always hungry.
