About this listen
History obsessed gamer Matt Bailey has always dreamed of commanding his own Roman Legion. Now he can. The newest VRMMORPG Gods & Kings is the closest thing to a time machine he’ll ever get.
With the powers of his Warrior Priest class, Matt must build his army, level his followers and discover new battle formations that will help him defeat his enemies and become a true Roman general.
More victories means more glory and more men - so Matt must use all his knowledge of history to give his fighters the edge in battle, as well as buffing his troops with ancient magic and even summoning mythic beasts to fight alongside his men. It’s awesome!
But his carefree attitude soon earns the scorn of a serious competitor who has made it his mission to rewrite history and see Matt and his allies destroyed. To see the version of Rome he loves come to life, Matt must use all his skill to defeat his nemesis and save the empire.

The decision to start a new life is never an easy one, but for Joe the transition was far from figurative. Becoming a permanent addition to a game world, it doesn't take long to learn that people with his abilities are actively hunted. In fact, if the wrong people gained knowledge of what he was capable of, assassins would appear in droves.

Story
Surviving the first days of the apocalypse, William is a wreck and hiding in an attic. The daily acid storms, floating elementals, and bizarre mutated animals are the least of his problems. The reality-warping apocalypse has rules and a system much like those in video games. To survive, he must learn how the new uncooperative system works, choose a class without any real knowledge of what it does and create a place safe from the spawning horrors.

A world on the precipice of the apocalypse. A secret forged in the flames of war. A chance to start over. For John Sutton, only one of those three things matters. Retired from a decade of brutal war, he wants nothing more than a quiet pastoral life while he does his best to stem the steady increase of his Doom Points before they hit 100, signaling the start of the end. He’s been given a small farm on the outskirts of the empire as thanks for his service, but no matter how far he travels, it's impossible to escape the war's devastating effects on the world.

Ryan doesn’t remember much about his life before becoming a dungeon core. Only that he had a bit of a disagreement with the church—something to do with a beheading? Now reborn, Ryan begins to arm his darkness dungeon with devious traps, bestial zombies and ill-named skeletal creations, without doing anything too evil. Well, mostly. Some adventurers just deserve a stalactite to the head.

Life’s tough when you’re trapped in an eight-year-old body on another world. His name is Eight. Not really, but that’s what the System decided after a slip of the tongue. One moment, he was stepping out the office door on the way home, and the next waking up on a hillside below a town wall. Oh, and the gate guard drove him off, because he thought Eight was a monster. What’s a boy to do in a world full of magic and so many, many hungry creatures searching for their next meal? Well, there’s an old man inside that body, and he'll use everything he’s learned to survive.

Infinite Worlds is the most popular VRMMORPG on the market. Its maps are so vast, developer Hard Rock Data utilizes a network of highly advanced artificial intelligences to control it. But it’s not without problems. That’s why Game Masters like Jeff Driscoll have jobs. The downside? He’s not allowed to play the game. Something about conflicts of interest and favoritism. His very boring and tedious job is to help players deal with the occasional bug that slips through the cracks and ensure they enjoy their time playing enough to give a five-star rating.

Unruly Naor clans might raid across the border, but the king himself would never lead his people to war so long as the blade remained in the hands of his enemies. But when squire Elenai’s aging uncovers evidence that the sword in their hall is a forgery, she’s forced to flee Darassus for her life, her only ally the reckless, disillusioned Kyrkenall.

very predictable.
the story goes he's doing good then the world craps on him he then works hard and does good then the world craps on him. That over and over is the book. the narrator was the only saving grace of the book he was to notch.

Loved every minute of it!
Fantastic story, well written and researched.
Clearly the author did his homework on the antique.
The main character is likable and the battle scenes are described very detailed and vividly.
I highly recommend this book to all fans of LitRPG who want more than just endless stats and to all fans of historical Rome.
Can’t wait for book 2!

Just not very good
Lead character is just.. I donno.. Incompetent?
The amount of times he makes the same mistakes is just staggering.
Hell, even when hes in a rush to do something, he still stops to take in the view of a [thing] hes been trying to get to the top of for a long while, and the book tries so hard to make it impressive sounding that I cannot help but think the author genuinely thinks the lead character is good at what he does.
The story is decent, but it often sounds more like the author just wants to share his knowledge of ancient Rome than anything else.
Buy this is if you're in desperate need for something to do.
Voice actor did a good job though.

Trash
So the plot sounds amazing if you read the info about it, but then you hear the story and the guy starts off horribly. Spoiler alert: he has supposedly played a game almost identical to this one but as a frontline viking and yet he gets into this game and acts like he's never swung a sword or fought at all. Then he keeps making mistakes that ANYONE would never make as a gamer but sure let him make every mistake possible. just another typical book about games written by a non gamer. 100/100 would NEVER recommend this book to anyone super cringe and annoying how stupid the MC is.
