About this listen

The comic fantasy adventures of Gabe Skelter continue as the former Earthling loser fights his way to gory glory in an RPG made all too real.

Not all that long ago, Gabe Skelter was an unimpressive, overweight, snarky teenager with more mouth than muscle and more attitude than attributes. Then, during a deadly trainwreck, he was transported to another reality. On the world of Regaia, Gabe is a different person entirely: a massively jacked-up warrior orc known as Loon. The dud has become a stud.

But even in his new buff bod and with his growing collection of skills, Gabe still finds himself in a near-constant fight for survival against a wide variety of horrific creatures. Luckily, he's gathered a small but loyal band of fighters to cover his broad back. And he's going to need them . . .

Because the powers that brought Gabe to Regaia have their own plans for him and his former classmates who "died" in the trainwreck—now known as sojourners. Plans that could have drastic consequences not only for Gabe's loved ones but for all Regaia. Plans that will almost certainly get them all killed.

Packed with furious combat, nerd-tastic detail, and hilarious wit,

Big Sneaky Barbarian 2 is a must-listen for fans of high-octane action and nonstop smart-ass fun.

The second volume of the hit LitRPG adventure series—with more than 100,000 views on Royal Road—now available on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and Audible!

Includes a special note from the author.

Great follow up, one wild night

I really loved the fact that this plays out like one crazy night interlude. It doesnt move forward the story arc a lot, but it does a great job of evolving some characters while retaining their essence(especially loon) and introducing a lot of important information to setup the rest of the story in future releases. It retains the same comedic timing and fights of the first book. Love the narrator and how he accelerated the speed of the dialog to generate exciting key moments and fights (and stats/skills); he truly embodies the character and switching his style slightly to convey each scene in the current state of mind of the main character. Cant wait to start the 3rd one… so im doing that now!!!

One third action scenes, one third caterwauling, one third plot.

I liked first book because of how it subverted the usual tedium of the litrpg genre. the protagonist was a divisive and underpowered character literally skating by on luck and an eccentric skillset. Not overburdened with a litany of overbearing abilities that ruined the suspense of combat. I am disappointed that this was only a quirk of the first novel.
I wanted to give this a higher score, the author is brilliant with his characterization. It's unfortunately buried beneath a thick layer tangents ladened increasingly obtuse pop culture references that will only serve to age the book. There was so much fighting in the narrative, I found myself skimming through them by the end just to get back to the character interactions. Where the book shines.
There's a lot to love about the protagonist and so potential for growth and I am interested in the plot threads laid out.
But as it stands I don't know if I can stand another dozen hours of long drawn out fights and contant name drops of shows and movies I don't care about to get to them.
