When summoned to a fantastical world and granted powers by a broken System, most freshly minted protagonists would strap on their big-boy boots and get ready for their stats to start climbing. But Fischer isn't like most MCs. In fact, he doesn't want to be a hero at all. Fame? Fortune? Power? He had enough of all that in his old life. Discovering forbidden fishing techniques and petting every cute animal that comes within scritching distance? Now that's a good time.

Lukas Aguilar does not believe in gods. Despite—or perhaps because of—his deep knowledge of mythology and lore, Lukas has always valued what is practical, factual, and verifiable, eschewing faith for what he can see right in front of him. That is, until an earthquake destroys his home, and he wakes up in a dark cavern infested with bloodthirsty and unearthly creatures, wielding strange powers and hearing an even stranger voice in his head claiming to be a goddess.

Jin Rou wanted to be a cultivator. A man powerful enough to defy the heavens. A master of martial arts. A lord of spiritual power. Unfortunately for him, he died, and now I’m stuck in his body. Arrogant Masters? Heavenly Tribulations? All that violence and bloodshed? Yeah, no thanks. I’m getting out of here. Farm life sounds pretty great. Tilling a field by hand is fun when you’ve got the strength of ten men—though maybe I shouldn’t have fed those Spirit Herbs to my pet rooster.

Publisher's Summary
One angry young man is about to take a fantasy realm by storm—or by accident—in the hilarious first book of a new series by the author of Good Boy.
Gabe Skelter has a temper, which he likes to imagine has the effect of causing people to fear and respect him. On the contrary, his pudgy, underdeveloped body and negative personality make him more your standard outcast teenager. Worse still, he kinda knows what a jerkweed he actually is.
Then, in the middle of a class trip, Gabe finds himself spirited away to Regaia: a world of magic, mayhem, and nerd-tastic adventure. Naturally, he’s completely ill-prepared. But in this realm, he’s a monstrous, muscular man of action. Unfortunately, he’s still saddled with the frightfully unimpressive brains of a teenage loser.
Now, Gabe must make his burly, bulky way in a land where the strong dominate, the powerful rule, and picking a class has nothing to do with algebra . . . and everything to do with survival.
Bristling with reckless abandon and antisocial attitude, Big Sneaky Barbarian is Die Hard with dungeons; a must-hear for fans of heavy-hitting action mixed with laugh-out-loud snark—and absolutely loaded with swears.
The first volume of the hit LitRPG adventure series—with almost 100,000 views on Royal Road—now available on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and Audible!
What the critics say
“This has gotten me very excited at the chance to be one of those authors quoted on a book.”—Shirtaloon, author of the He Who Fights with Monsters series and brazen Australian
“I loved every one of the words in this book! Especially how they followed one another in perfect sequence, each of them dazzling me with their sublime poise, vigor, and panache. Or at least that’s what I think I’d say if I read the thing. Are we done here now? Wait, don’t write that. Stop, what are you doing, don’t hit send . . .”—Luke Chmilenko, author of the Ascend Online series and collector of “antique” eggs

Good story, annoying main character
Aside from the main character in the first half being a bit much with his continually rage shouting it's really good. By the end of the book the mc seems to settle down a little bit and be more decent, although still a shitbag but at least now he knows he's a shitbag.

surprisingly deep and hilarious
I decided to leave this reviews months after listening, because I needed to compare to the rest of the genre.
the MC is an asshat on purpose, and the writer and narrator did an amazing job of making him that way. as the story progresses it starts revealing why, and maybe they it was revealed a little too late for some readers. but then it all clicks.
this book is a breath of fresh air for the genre. it's also hilarious, it's as if a comedian wrote all the jokes as they're so good. here's a small quote "he's trying to butter me up, but I'm like a feral alley cat, notoriously hard to butter " ... if that kind of humor gets you, you're in for a ride.

Amazing voice acting
I bought this book quickly on a whim because i had expiring audible credits and I've listened to this voice actor in other audio books. An amazing voice talent and the story was quite good. Can't wait to get on to book 2!

New favourite
This book is one of my new favourites and I can't wait for the second. it's protagonist is not your usual suspect, and if you don't like gritty comedy and don't have much of a silly side, this book is not for you. don't take the main character too seriously and you'll have a good time with this book. The narrator did a fantastic job with this book and he has also become one of my new favourites.

I suspect the author was trying for humor...
Trying being the operative term, the Mc is just plain unlikeable, like stop the book after ten hours, never pick it up again, and wonder about applying for a refund for the credit unlikeable.
Extra disappointment as I picked this up as a recommendation, so expectations were above rock bottom.
All the Mc does is yell, be loud, and actively antagonize everyone and everything around him, to his active disadvantage.. being contrary fuckhead is one thing, but it can't be everything, and it gets old fast.
This kid should have been smothered in his sleep, his world would be a better place, and ours would be better as this book would have another MC that does something other than scream profanities, reminisce fondly on his horrid and horrific actions.
The audio work does well to try and salvage some enjoyment from the time being subjected to the Mc and his antics... with the obvious exasperation of the narration of stat blocks etc... it almost makes the narratior seem as sick of the Mc's shit as everyone who has ever met him.

Spectacular Recording
Very talented performer! Story wise, I actually liked the story well enough but the main character was a bit of an asshat. I didn’t dislike him enough for the character to fall into the “love to hate” category. A further glimpse into the past events that made him a basement dwelling troglodyte gave him a flicker of potential depth that will possibly influence my decision to buy book 2 from nope to maybe.
