About this listen

One man. Assassin. Caster. A new world. And a game that is as brutal as it is complex.

Michael finds himself in the realm of the Forever Kingdom, with no memory of how he got there and who he is. Even so, he must participate in the Grand Game and forge a new destiny for himself.

Dropped into a dungeon of monsters and strange magics, would you survive in a game where to lose means death?

Alone, and with little more than his wits to aid him, Michael must advance as a player, slay his foes, and gain experience. All while navigating the intrigues around him and discovering his purpose.

A world of powers, forces, and mysterious factions. A game with endless opportunities for advancement and power.

Join Michael on his epic adventure as he deals with the game's challenges, the machinations of the powers, and the ambitions of his fellow players.

The start of an exciting new portal fantasy epic!

Better than most

This series is quite good in fact I would place it in my top 5 series along side series such as The Good Guys Series, Defiance of the Fall, Primal Hunter and more. The writing is clean and well put together, the series has a nice flow with very little filler or over explanations, the system is very interesting as well, and the world build and character development is superb. I highly recommend this series and hopefully this author continues to put out top quality work

Excellent overall

An absolute pleasure to listen to. Altogether a well rounded title. It fumbled slightly in the way it was written (in the first person) and had a few hiccups here and there in terms of delivery, but all the essentials for a great story were there. If I had to leave one suggestion for future listeners, listen to this title at X1.2 speed, as the narrator speaks a tad too slow for my liking, but it was excellent once I sped up the playback.

Top Quality Litrpg

There isn't much to say, Its refreshing to read a new Litrpg book that doesn't disappoint me. Its just a good quality book,

Things that I liked, so that this is actually a review and not just me tipping my hat (i dont wear a hat):

1. MC had realistic struggles. Take down a camp of gobs? well author meticulously breaks down how that happened, No magical rage powerup.
2. Obstacles for the Character meshed really nicely with the worldbuilding, and antagonists were not unrealistically motivated either. For example, Also, Author did not make all the bad guys Rapists. Any book that doesn't lean on this kind of thing gets an automatic bump in my favorability
3. I liked the system. Its not overly wordy, and it didnt have pages upon pages explaining it. You knew only as much as the character, and it leaves the feeling that there is lots more to uncover.
4. Its long. I listen to audiobooks while I work, and nothing is worse than paying a credit for a 6 hour audiobook.

Thanks for this, I hope you keep up writing this series, I am looking forward to where things are leading.

Amazing

Loved this story. A very realistic adventure in a LitRPG setting, had me wanting more while hating the idea of finishing the book because I didn't want the story to end.

Kept me guessing until the end

Like watching paint dry

I got all the way to chapter 38 and I just can't take it anymore. The mc is sneaking around in a dungeon for 38 straight chapters. It's easily the most boring book I've ever listened to.

poor choices in the writing

The character is a bleeding heart idiot. Helping people who treat him like crap. I'm all for helping the innocent like the wolves but a groupe of players who push him around, call him a liar a dozen times and threaten to torture him is hardly worth helping. I cant stand the writing, if that groupe is supposed to be "the good guys" and they want his help at least write them to be slightly less insufferable. The way its written i cant help but think less of the main character for putting up with their bs and not leaving them to what they deserve. So often in fantasy it seems being the hero means letting people treat you like garbage and being too much of a push over to leave them to suffer the consequences of their actions.
