Clever idea

Clever idea - but way too long - even for a gamer to listen to - if it was shorter would love it - as it Is - not so much

Wow

What a fantastic start of the series.
Starts off by grabbing you in the story from the first page. The books is so fascinating, funny and sad at the same time. Loved it.
Looking forward for the next book.

Very good

This book had me hooked from first page as they say I honestly didn’t know what way it was going to go after the glitch at start. I was laughing out loud on my own while walking the dog; got a few strange looks can’t wait to start next one it’s already downloaded

Always enjoyed some Fantasy/SF but this was brill

Would never beverage thought at 74 years of age I could listen to and thoroughly enjoy a Warcraft type SF/Fantasy book of this kind. I was hooked from the first chapter and still there for the last. I felt interaction with the obviously Avatar characters and felt and saw the scenery and structure of the world created. Well done you have converted an old lady!!!!

Not good in anyway

It’s not a bad book but there is nothing in this book that would excite anyone it’s boring the twists you see coming a mile off and the general interaction are basic and stale most of the time I can only imagine the series gets better as there are so many books to follow but I’ll leave that for someone else to find out

Very shallow in general.

My first issue with this book is a personal one. I can't stand books written in present tense. When I read a book I feel I'm reading about something that happened, and so find reading it as if it is currently happening as I read, weird and grating. Add in how few authors write in this tense and it adds to the notice I take of it.

As for the book contents. The characters are two dimensional, shallow and with interactions with each other that just are not believable or natural. The plot - what there is of one - is just as weak and uninteresting. The best thing to say about this book in my opinion is it is an ideal one to put you to sleep.

Lastly, I don't get why authors feel the need change silly things just to be original. For example in just about every RPG you'll play from pen and paper on human normal is 9 or 10, but his average human stat is around 20. Rather than copper, silver and gold for money he makes his own money, which would be fine if the currency system would work. His wouldn't as he has no smaller and larger denominations of his money. Which was funny as he drank a mana potion worth 500g rather than just let his mana recharge. That is amusing as that amount was a massive amount more worth than anything else he had, and worth nearly as much as a magic sword value later on.

Far better books out there in this genre.

Awful Narrator

the narration of this book is below bar, every second sentence is finished with a change in pace that makes ste story hard to lisen to.

Good plot, not a fan of 3rd person narration

The story has merit, but having the main character constantly referred to in third person gets old very quickly.

Not worth the time

Authors, have you heard of show, do not tell?
This book is unbearable.
I do not recommend this to anyone.

nope

I couldn't bring myself to finish this book. Slow story development which seems to be copied from other litrpg books and narration of stats and fights was all over the place.
