Summary

Trapped between worlds. Potentia might be the way out. Time to kill Something.

Luke is an apprentice leather worker, training with his family to one day take over the business. He and his friends Andre, Taylor, and Zed have known each other forever, and swear that nothing will ever tear apart their friendship.

Then the Royal Decree comes. With the Dynasty of Dogs invading, and strange monsters appearing in the Hollow Kingdom, a draft has been implemented. Everyone 17 or older is required to be tested for "Potential". If they have it, they will join the mysterious and renowned Ascender Corps. If not, they will be drafted into the Legion as a forced recruit.

Three of the friends test as powerful, or dangerous, classes of Ascender. Luke is found to have Potential, barely, but when he steps through the portal to begin his training…he is pulled to a plane that shouldn't exist. With no class trainer, the possibility of survival is low. Luke decides that he wants to live, and keeping his humanity isn't going to help.

His best chance is going Full Murderhobo.

Cool concept unfortunately wasted

Reading the synopsis for this instantly intrigued me - but many LitRPG books fall at the first hurdle and this unfortunately was no exception.
The dialogue is clunky and cringey at parts, the first half of the book is devoted to 3 different narratives (2 of which are notably less interesting than the one described in the synopsis) and the mindless reading of stat points happens far too often for comfort.
What could have been an interesting story about a Borderlands-Krieg type character is boiled down to a boring and repetitive bog standard litRPG.

i loved alot of his other works

Sadly this book is nothing but boring jokes and no real story to talk about. I could not get myself past 5 hours of this, hoping it would be better.

Half of a great story

Good premise and fun characters but with the short length of the book split into a few characters it just feels like half a story.

Absolutely horrendous

The first 4 hours of this book is nothing but a constant info dump and 1 dimensional characters, if you can even call them characters.
Do not buy, worst book I've ever listened to. Its selling point, the murder hobo, can be kinda funny but not nearly enough to balance the sheer amount of info dump.
This book has made me completely avoid all of Dakota Krouts work.

11 hrs and 52 mins you will never get back

After seeing an article about how Dakota Krout was earning $$$ as an independent author I thought this might be a good way of checking him out on the grounds he must be doing something right. Well what a waste of my time. The story ideas and concepts are fine, but the writing is just so basic and clunky. It reads more like a high school level fan fiction than something I handed over money for. Also the narrator makes most of the cast sound like they are straining to take a dump.

Rammed full of puns

Lots of puns, wit and laughs abound. I really enjoyed the descriptions and differences in the classes of the four protagonists. Looking forward to the next in the series.

Hilariously brilliant and ultimately entertaining

The litrpg features are non intrusive and the story as a whole flows really well. The concepts involved are brilliant and I can’t wait to see how it evolves.

Good stuff!

A little bizarre, a little funny, a lot violent (especially against the poor goats).

Well worth a listen. The bloopers at the end really put a ribbon on the whole listen!
