Arrival: A Humorous Isekai LitRPG

Terminate the Other World!, Book 1

De: Icalos

Narrado por: 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!

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.

Funny and ridiculous.

I enjoyed the book. Only really annoying character is the rat king guy, but I think he is supposed to be. Good start.

Funny, nice action. Has a mostly OP MC

It was a fairly fun listen, and the narration tone was excellent. My only beef is that the full stats took a long time to read (maybe 15+ minutes?)

Not Humorous but is entertaining

I have to say. calling this a "humorous" isekai is kind of misleading since there is little humor because nslice is a humorless cyborg who is incapable of referring to herself in first person. Was I supposed to laugh when she face planted or when she mowed down armies of enemies? Or when people are so flabbergasted at her capabilities that they are metaphorically crapping their pants? I didn't but I will give the story credit it does entertain, I had hoped that her human half would get some more growth but it seems book 2 is where that'll happen

I am officially hooked

when you're reading those lit RPG books, you always wonder what would happen if a magical world was combined with sci-fi fantasy. This is that book. It has a great blend of action, comedy and adventure.

I truly enjoy the narrator, who is very talented at what they do. you often get narrators that only use one voice and sometimes it can be hard to follow along because they're using their same voice with no inflections or monotones. this narrator doesn't just have one but tries to give a unique voice to each of the individual characters. mostly the main characters but still tries to give it to a lot of the side characters as well. Because of this, I often feel like I'm listening to a play or like I'm at the theater.

stop reading the long list of abilities

The overall story was good. A little humor here and there. But, stop with the long list of abilities. Then reading them so slow it literally takes 45 minutes to read them all. There are four times this happens in this book.

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 !

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
