About this listen

One man. One game. One adorable baby dragon.

Two weeks ago, Hector Park cheated death by uploading his mind to the ultra-immersive fantasy RPG game, Archemi. After exposing the rotten heart of an order of dragon knights, he’s now on the run with a young queen dragon who could one day become the most powerful mount in the game.

To get strong enough to face their enemies, they need a quest - a big one. Fortunately, trouble has a way of finding Hector, and it does - in the form of a series of brutally murdered priests, a king in desperate need of a hero, and a beautiful, fiery berserker. The risk? Huge. The payoff? More gold than a dragon’s hoard.

There's only one problem - Archemi is haunted by the ghost of a mad developer bent on making the game his personal playground. And now that the world outside has vanished in a storm of nuclear fire, there's no one left to stop him.

Or at least, that’s what he thinks. Because Hector isn't the kind of man to take this shit lying down.

There is a reason why stories that are following the same LitRPG story main points are popular even if most of them are similar, we enjoy the idea of getting stronger and see the difference between then and now, difference in strength.

The first book was better.

This story makes it a bit hard to get in the MC's skin, and I can feel the need of some day to day side story to get more close to the main characters with some comedy and no fight against overwhelming forces. Just light leveling. As it is, looks like the MC is always fighting with forces too strong for him, and can't find the pleasure when it's keep repeating.

Its good to see the story going forward, but I feel like its a bit rushed (with a lot of things that are not going forward how you would think it would, it remebers me of Game of Thrones and Eragon movie).

While there are a lot of people who like this kind of thing, due to not being able to get close to the characters I can't enjoy it to the full extent. As it is, I would prefer to be able to guess the end of mission and something unexpected to happen after that, than during the mission and blowing your mind away waking you up from the story line.

The characters are very good highlited, easy to distinguish due to the perfect voice performance.

I've read other stories with LitRPG with a lot of details about personal skills, statuses, descriptions etc, and I liked how this story doesn't put you to listen the same things over and over again every 2-3 CHAPTERS.


I wouldn't probably continue to the second book if the book didn't have sound effects. Oh yeah, the sound effects are amazing. Good job!



POSSIBLE SPOILER



I don't like how the characters don't get any information about the real world, it's like you're hungry and eat rotten food while 2 metres away is good food waiting for you.

All of this probably because the story is rushed. It could've be so much more.

We are kept in the blind, but If this is close to Game of Thrones, then somewhere close to the end of the story Hector's brother will appear from nowhere saving him in the last moment before he is killed by the mad programmer. This would be Hector's last life as the corrupt data would take his whole body and dissappear forever.

4 star story, 5 performance, 4 overall

I really enjoyed the first book, and while looking forward to this story, I was worried that the first chunk would move away from the action and adventure, and would necessitate a man caring for a baby dragon. The worries were completely unfounded, the story moved forward and straight back to busines, which was great.

Like the first, the performances in the audiobook were impressive. Clear, believable and varied. However, the music in book 2 added an extra polish to the story. Much like classic video games, the music kicked in when there was appropriate action and disappeared when unnecessary. It felt really retro and set the action nicely.

A great follow up to the first

a great read, SBT and James Osiris Baldwin have brought a story of dragon raising and political intrigue, with twists and turns throughout I'm eager to see where this goes.

the story is a direct continuation picking up a few weeks after the first book left off. glossing over a few weeks of survival, quickly moving to a while new continent and a quest that acts as the main focus of this books plot. New characters are all very well written, the author knows how to make you love or hate a character.

The audio is on point with the vocals bringing the characters to like. Kuralti's voice in particular just leans to an adorable tone giving many funny and heartfelt moments.

building off the foundation.

I enjoyed the first book but the 2nd works even better as we get to see all of Hectors relationships change and a bit of good interaction between politics, action and a bit of sexual tension. The story flows along well and the narration by SBT is spot on as usual which makes this a big bonus using multiple narrators.

A great improvement

unfortunately this book has sound effects which make it hard to enjoy otherwise the story is very good and would be a five star review
