worth it

this is definitely a different take and I enjoyed it. doesn't get into much detail about the system or world, so you have to put it together as the story goes. but I enjoyed it very smooth in pacing only character I enjoyed was C.H.A.D.D but that could just be me. I wanted more from abilitys but just remember this is just the start of what's probably an 8 book series.

Satisfying

Back to the basics of the genre. Delivering everything the fans need. I enjoyed the light and the dark of the story. Can’t wait until the the world building and abilities are flushed out or expanded on. I will be back for the next in series

Interesting setting.

Pretty unique setting for a LitRPG. There is lot of portal fantasy and post apocalyptic scenarios. But we don’t have a lot of post apocalyptic settings years after the the main event happened. The MC is cool and the has an OP class. I just feel like the doctor occupation could be researched more. I work in a hospital closely to doctors and the way our MC spoke didn’t feel authentic. I really like the plot though. The narrator did a great job.

I adored this litRPG. Grab the book view how Kyle and C.H.A.D.D. get along...

I loved this edge-of-your-seat litRPG. Kyle is a Doctor, a Healer, and I adore it when a Healer takes center stage! The book starts while Kyle is doing a wellness check on his grandfather the only D class human on earth. Just as a Cataclysm occurs, grandfather Clark saves Kyle's life but was injured beyond Kyle's ability to save him. But before death Kyle made an Oath to Survive to Clark. No matter the price. So Kyle along with his personal diagnostic robot, C.H.A.D.D. set off looking for other survivors. If you don't already know I love systems like C.H.A.D.D. as this spunky little robot stretches his abilities and develops his own personality.
So find out how Kyle and C.H.A.D.D. are doing as they level... yeah grab the audiobook and let James Meyers and Adam Verner tell you a story.

A wonderfully different post-apocalyptic LitRPG

I really enjoyed this book.
The setting was the first thing that made the book stand out for me. It's based in a system based world, but the system apocalypse happened a generation ago. Yet it's still apocalyptic because a new crisis hits in the opening section of the book. We discover the structure of the system as the book progresses, but are never drowned in infodumps. The characters know about the system, so you don't have to deal with pages of characters reacting to the fact it exists.
The class of the main character, Kyle, is another difference. He starts out as a healer. Complete with a diagnostic drone, C.H.A.D.D., who evolves through the course of the book. C.H.A.D.D. is a great supporting character. He's a foil for Kyle when there's no one else around. But it's more than that. He feels more and more alive as the book progresses and he grows past his initial programming.
Kyle is saved from the initial cataclysm by his grandfather, a powerful fighter. He promises him to survive. As the book progresses, he has to balance that oath with his drive to help people and make the world a better place. It's not the usual motivation of a MC in a litrpg, and I found myself not able to predict what would happen yet in a really good way. Right up to the end of the novel, there are twists that you do not expect. I wish book 2 was already out. 

Great Start to a New World!

Great start to this series I really enjoyed the transition from simple every day Dr to survivalist! Loved the duo team! Chad can be hilarious at times!

GOOD STORY!

Interesting apocalypse litrpg. It kept me engaged until the end and the lead into the next book makes anxious for the next one.

very interesting

I enjoyed the book quite a bit abs want more now. excellent set up. thank you

Issues with

This is unbelievably painful to listen to and grasp because this kid is a healer and has know real knowledge out side of the medical field and that is generous. The author protects this MC over and over again. . The reader or listener in this case is not described any real world building or setup of any kind. We definitely don't get a baseline of stats on what a typical awakened person is, but the author loves to point out the MC's grandiose stats; but 10 minutes later the MC is struggling to deal with an encounter. It's gets old fast and it repeats over and over.
