Arrival: A Humorous Isekai LitRPG

Terminate the Other World!, Book 1

By: Icalos

Narrated by: Savy Des-Etages

An unstoppable killing machine is unleashed to do . . . whatever she wants in this fast-paced, action-packed spin-off of the Faceless Minion series.

She's unlike any one or any thing else: a Non-Standard Leashed-Intelligence Cybernetic Enforcer aka NSLICE-00P. The first of her kind, she's let loose into a universe of superheroes on behalf of her sinister masters to destroy all who oppose them.

And everything's going according to plan—until NSLICE-00P gets hacked and sent into the past to kill her own creator before he creates her. Obeying orders as always, she wastes the poor guy. Unfortunately, there are consequences to initiating a reality-breaking time paradox. The most significant: total ejection from that reality.

Now the cyborg finds herself in a world of skills and levels, with the distinct advantage of possessing a dungeon core. She'll have to make her way without orders, programming, or limitations. NSLICE-00P suddenly has a whole new life ahead of her. If only she can keep herself from blowing things up at the drop of a hat, she'll be just fine . . .

The first volume of the hit LitRPG fantasy series—with more than two million views on Royal Road—now available on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and Audible!

Its not bad

Overall the story was fine but I had a few issues with the story. First of all the narration choice for the MC's voice and thoughts was spot on for the character but it comes off very flat which makes for harder listening. It was an accurate portrayal but it makes listening harder. Outside of that the MC is above and beyond a little busted to the point that its a little silly. Its probably in the realm of Wolverine in that its not as if you couldn't stop him but you would probably want to walk into things knowing how to counter him. The MC is kind of like that even if its a stretch people walk blindly into them and she breaks them in half.

Have it inmy wish list for a while

Overall loved it.
Negative the stat sheet was long, to skip will be nice
dungeon plus cyborg plus human overpowered its
Great !

fun read!

is a really fun story to listen to it was quite good I can't wait until next book's come out

Fun twist on an old story

Fun ideas. The comedic lines were good for a chuckle. I'm going to get the next book.

Fantastic, by every genre metric!

A long, well written story. Includes stats, but at ending of chapters to easily skip. Shows excellent cyborg drone evolving to free agent (over three or four books). Brilliant and interesting. All a well written story, but even more, a most fitting narrator!

To those who want to know, the story is that a very immature cyborg slave is forcefully enlisted by the villains and then again by the rebel "liberators", saves the world, and finally due to unforseen circumstances of physics, is rewarded with her freedom with the caveot that she is isekai'd and probably can't return to her original world. Totally alone, she matures and learns extremely fast while (1) slightly breaking the new world and also (2) becoming it's most notable hero in recorded history... Also, totally humorous and uplifting!

Great Story with an unique protagonist

Very fun story with interesting characters. Completely worth listening to. Only issue is when they review characters stat page it takes way to long and goes on for 4 or 5 min. Bypass this and it’s great

Worth the listen, but with a caveat.

This story is worth the listen however be aware that throughout the series, even as far as book 3, there are huge runtime padding stat dumps. A 40min stat dump in a 15h book should have been edited out or reduced imo, but aside from that its an easy recommend for light listening.

Great Overall

This is a pretty unique kind of take on things, and I found it quite enjoyable to listen to. The only thing that I have to give a thumbs down to is stats. We all know that an LitRPG is gonna have a bunch of stats, but at the end of the book when they take a whole 39 minutes to get through that is way too much. The only good thing was that it was the end of the chapter and hitting the button to go to the next chapter skipped it. If only they actually mentioned that.

OK story but not great narration.

Pluses:
Fun, somewhat unique idea.

Negative parts:
I find the narrator to be hard to listen to. She uses odd intonations and inflections.
It is perhaps meant to come off as a bit of either emotionless robot or a bit irreverent
and nonchalant but I find it to be grating.

The story is not really very fun once you get beyond the initial basic premise.
Pretty standard LitRPG with OP protagonist but this time with an emotionless robot.
It is possible that it the narration ruined the flow and feel of the story for me as well.

Long stat lists but the rest is pretty good

the stats lists are incredibly long and can last minutes. I like the story a lot though and the narrator is great.
