About this listen

Would you be prepared to work for free? How would you like to bust your hump for a large corporation 60-plus hours a week without a wage or a single day off for the vague promise of some mysterious perks in the distant future?

You'd refuse point blank, wouldn't you? But what if the job in question was playing a state-of-the-art fantasy MMORPG game? And what if this was the only thing you're really good at? Especially considering that your in-game partner is someone really special to you - and this person already lives a virtual life?

Knowing all this, would you consider the mysterious future bonus worth your while?

Excellent take - great humour & plot

Excellent find - if you like lit rpg, it’s a good, light tale with shades of pratchett.

A surprisingly good and unusual tale

I truly enjoyed this story. I was expecting a more LitRPG style of novel but the twist of it being pure VR with a pseudo cyberpunk reality mixed in was a welcome surprise. The idea of a self learning ai being dragged into the mix as well was an excellent twist. Looking forward to seeing what the rest of the books hold.

If you like the underdog

I really dislike very overpowered characters from the get go.

In thins book the protagonist has steady build up. On the top ten list...

Slightly jarring but enjoyable nonetheless

Can't tell if it's due to the translation, or the culture of the author, but it can come across as quite formal in places, which puts off the flow of the performance a little for me. there's a few plot holes that irked me a little, but overall I enjoyed this action/slice of pie/toiling storyline. i'll be continuing onto the next book 👍

Gobbled this down like hot Grog!

I love RPGs and so I may be biased.

The story and gameplay are immersive and realistic. The game stats are pertinent enough yet don’t overshadow the listener.

Great plot. Characters are likeable. Reminiscent of Ready Player One but for Fantasy role playing gamers.

Narration is strong. Easy listening voice fitting the character.

Look forward to the next part of the saga!

Excellent!

Loved this series, was good to read about an alternative hero than just a regular human or beastkin. Highly recommended
