love it! more recommendations at bottom

if you like "reborn" lit RPGs where the mc gets a second chance to do things over with fore knowledge of the future you will love this.
the mc is smart, practical, reliable, driven and strong. (all good things imo. I hate weak, stupid, over dramatic, or whiney mcs)
it's single character focused (so no multiple povs here which is also good).
I read a review that said the last 3 hours was cliche but honestly there is only a couple hundred of these reborn litrpgs (not to be mistaken for *isakia* not sure if I spelled that right but anyway the two are very different even though I love those to) out there and I've read them all so I don't think there is such a thing as cliche in this genre yet.
book recommendations similar to this...
reborn: apocalypse (my favorite)
towers of heaven
player reached the top
restart
monarch: a prince out of time
:-) your welcome

no second chance needed

couldn't put this book down. flushed out magic system Regression novel using knowledge of future to save the world can't recommend jacob Tanner enough

time travel lit!

first I received a free code for the book to do an honest review! so let's get to it...

I love Jakob tanners work and Steve Campbell bringing it to life. they work very well together.

we have a couple of similar books to this one. Mc gets chosen, goes back to save what will be lost, we find out things that happen as book progresses.

this one was a bit different lit style as they don't necessarily gain levels but skills do, the people gain ranks almost cultivation style which does happen with mana.

one thing I always love is a hp system as it puts life on edge a bit when you see them hurt.

the big one for this is as far as I know there are no healers... just items to help with that so fighting the enemies and dungeon gates has a bit more of a threat to them then our usual lit books.

some things I had trouble with at first get explained later in the book so that was a bonus but I'm sure can throw some people off. I won't go into details as spoilers but I will day stick with it! I do really enjoy this book.

my one biggest gripe was dual wielding swords. I can get over it as they have a strength Stat and agility making it seems more possible as how unwieldy that would be... but again fantasy book I can let it slide.

all in all good read/listen and can't wait to hear 2nd one.

no harem but love interests and funny characters a plenty.

Solid story

I really enjoyed this story. It did a great job of telling a direct regressor story and covering the first period of the MC’s story. The big question will be how the story develops as the current timeline departs from the original one. Looking forward to the next entry.

a good start but some annoying characters

okay so the book is really good overall I give it a four out of five stars the story is similar to what has come before it and doesn't really make any drastic changes to the formula but doesn't well enough to where you're still interested in the story. the last third of the book was a slog for me I know that sounds weird but I could not get invested in the character Toby whatsoever I hate this character he is whiny he got his cool moment that I won't spoil for anyone but to me it just didn't redeem the character for me. I will get the second book when it comes out but I do so hesitantly but I think my problems with the book might not be a problem for anybody else so if you have a chance to get it I would say do so.

Fun and exciting

Very entertaining - the narrator brought the characters to life. I really enjoyed it

Enjoyable

I enjoyed the writing and the story. A different take on the classic go back in time to save the day. You see a little growth in the MC and his friends, but they definitely need a little more character building. Over all I enjoyed it and will continue to read other books in this series.

great audiobook

what I would give to be able to go back and fix the past. When the world fell in around him a second chance was given to try again.

Just Kinda cringe

to be honest I just found it cringe, it all just seems to work out perfectly, no ? are put to anything he does and he just "happens" to have done a lot of research on some specific things without any reason. I don't know if it's because it was written like, but I also found the narration cringe

fantastic!

Great story and narration!

After taking part in humanitie's last stand our intrepid hero gets sent back in time to try to make things right! Dungeons have come to the land and humans must band together or face extinction!

Steve really brings the characters to life - wonderful narration!

I really enjoyed this book and can't wait to find out what happens next!!!
