Summary

Max was a professional soldier, and extremely good at his job. Right up until it killed him. 

At the moment of his death, he meets Hildi the Valkyrie, and is given three options. Serve Odin in Valhalla as one of the Einherjar, fighting each day and celebrating each night until the battle of Ragnarok. Accept his death as final, and end his existence. Or be reincarnated as a Battleborne on a random unknown world. 

Max chooses to gamble! To live a new life, whatever that might entail. Favored with a blessing of the Valkyries, who gift him with an unusual bloodline, he is reborn on a world of magic and monsters. In fact, his own new body is half monster! 

Thrust into the world with nothing but a canvas diaper, sharp teeth, and claws, Max must use his skills as a soldier to improvise and survive. There are no respawns, and at level zero, nearly everything can kill him. 

With his new status as one of the Battleborne, much is expected of Max. Dangerous and difficult quests are presented to him, and the loot ranges from filthy goblin loincloths to epic weapons! 

Join Max as he learns to navigate his new life, struggling with the instincts of his monster bloodlines, and taking advantage of them at the same time.

This book has amazing narration, that it.

For the weebs in the crowd this is just a generic ysekai. For those that are not weebs, this is not a good book, the main character is overpowered from the start and is very shallow, there is no character development, this book get 3 stars because of the amazing narration. hope this helps.

I liked this story. Narration is brilliant. Not my normal book I go for but I can’t wait for the next one. If you like this type of story, then I recommend it.

Great start to a LitRpg story

loved this book, it was a fantastic start to a LitRPG, the main character is likeable and earns all he gets throughout the book. Unlike other stories where they get OP from one thing. Just an all round great story and great characters.

Terrible drivel

The main character starts overpowered and perfect. He gets more and more powerful without effort as the book progresses. Everything he does is awesome and always works.

Pointless read. No idea how it has so many stars!

Good world building

Enjoyed the story and characters, though there is little new, I thought it well written. The female narration is poor with information becoming lost in the awful accents which is cringe worthy at times.

Good litrpg book.

Pretty good story with interesting plot. Good narration. Its fun and fast. Has action, magic and some romance. Would like a bit more character developement and integrations between them and a bit less kingdom building.

I expected more.

I listened neary 2/3 of the story and wasn't able to continue which is rare. Protagonist should be a badass soldier which was chosen to reinarnate in new world as the valkyries chosen. But he is just big kid who gets unfair bonuses and his past lives and experiencea give him nearly nothing. If he was a 14 or even 18 i could understand why he thinks that farting wile invisible to prank his friend is funny. Unfortunatlly he's not a kid.

Also you could find a lot of other books with game like system which have much better explenation of game mechanics. World building here is rather poor.

The only thing that's is good about is voice acting. I could say that thanks to that i even enjoyed this book untill protagonist started to try to be funny.
