About this listen
One chance to change your fate. All you have to do is survive.
Dax Tarnis has few rights and fewer options. A Casteless thief, he has struggled his whole life just to put food in his belly, and his dreams and goals have always been far out of reach.
It should have been like that forever, but Dax wanted more. And when fate thrusts a rare magic card into his hands, his world is upended.
Now, he has the power to change everything.
All he needs is to learn how to use it. How to level up. How to fight.
How to keep that power from dangerous enemies who will kill him without hesitation.
"Casteless" is an action-packed tale of power and ascendency, where every choice Dax makes leads him to danger and adventure. Join him as he fights against men and monsters, gaining friends and allies along the way as he realizes his dreams, using his card magic powers in unpredictable ways. Perfect for lovers of Progression Fantasy, Gamelit and LitRPG.

Story
Matt's in the prime of his life. So when his doctor tells him he only has months to live, he figures it's just really bad luck. But it's about to get a whole lot worse. When Matt's Earthly form finally expires, a truck-avatar system gives him the opportunity to become a hero on the paradise world of Gaia, a supposedly verdant, rich land teeming with plants and potential. What he finds instead is a place completely bereft of life. A literal dead planet. Thanks a lot, truck.

Ragnarok is near and the Vikings of Midgard have failed to uphold their duty to prevent it. With time running out, the All-Father Odin himself, searches all the worlds for one last warrior who might hold back the destruction threatening Nine Realms and every world created. Magnus’s death caught the All-Father’s one good eye. As an Army Ranger, he knew he was placing himself in the line of fire every day, and knew a day could come that cost him his life. What he didn't want was the rest of his team would be wiped out with him, the worst disaster the Rangers had experienced in decades.

Jiran is just a child when he receives shattered, imperfect memories of a past life. Nestled inside these emotionless visions is a magic very different to the density and mana he knows, the magic of science. The empire stands alone against the relentless beasts of Madra. Their only means of survival is harnessing the density that saturates her surface, a magic they cannot possibly understand. Will Jiran realize he holds the key to unlocking humanity's infinite potential before they are all wiped out?

Thrust into a world he knows nothing about, Greg will need power on another level entirely. To get ahead, he'll need the kind of power only deities possess.

Bernt might have graduated from the Mage Academy, but not everyone has the money or connections to launch a prestigious career as a mage. Bernt finds himself working in the city sewers as an Underkeeper among the other rejects of Halfbridge's magery. He may spend more time unclogging pipes than fighting monsters, but hey, it's a stable job, and that's what counts. With the help of his unregistered soul-devouring demonic familiar, he'll save enough to launch his career as an adventurer—just as soon as he can afford some proper gear.

Four hundred years ago, in the time before the Godfall, the demon hordes were unleashed upon the world of Elaria. Now, the world has shrunk to one small valley, the Valley of Auld, humanity’s last bastion. All those within its walls are protected. Elian is markless—someone who cannot activate skills—and he is one of the poorest markless there is. A miner, forced to leave the city and toil in the nearby salt mines. On their way to and from the mines, the miners are kept secure in a locked wagon. The wagon is not locked to keep them from escaping. It’s locked to keep the demons from getting in.

But when an unspeakable creature threatened everything I held dear, I was forced to create a rift to nowhere—a trap designed to seal it away for all time. It worked, but the creature was not without power itself.

Story
In a universe where a being’s very existence is a game and its players tussle for power, Earth is the latest battleground, but for Titus and his friends, the stakes are very real. Earth’s future hangs in the balance and power beyond imagining waits to be seized. When the System came, it ravaged Earth, destroying everything Humankind had built and killing billions in a matter of days. For those few that survived, like Titus, it was like living in a hellscape.

Very well-written
This title was a gamble, since it was a first-time author and only 20 reviews. The book was surprisingly well-written, particularly for this genre. I was particularly impressed by the character relationships and dialog, which come across as realistic, unlike the vast majority of books in this space.
The narrator's range isn't very large, but his voices were pleasant, and the variation was enough to distinguish the various characters.

Something different but something special
I wasn't sure what to think at first. It was a different premise than I am used to. After the world was built and the characters came I've, I knew it was going to be a good tale.

the ending felt rushed and not very well thought of at all. random insights to relationships between characters that weren't there at all before and felt forced. the voice acting was just ok no emotions shown whatsoever

A unique twist on a card-based skills fantasy
This is my first encounter with Peppersquash and I give high marks for coming up with a unique take on the card-based skills sub-genre. The story lacked enough backstory for the primary characters to become completely invested in them. They all start out as young adults with vague allusions to their formulative years. The MC himself is fairly one-dimensional; what with single-minded pursuit to become a card-master player in a caste system where card ownership is outlawed.
Still, it was an enjoyable listening experience with Exo Lio's performance being performed well.

Deck building
This was my first book to read with "cards," and I quite enjoyed it. Dax is the kind of character that you can root for. I appreciated the wider world, exposed through the additional points of view. Also, I love a scrappy kind of hero, and street rats are certainly that. His card being so random really made this a fun read as well. Both author and narrator were new to me, but both did a great job engaging me and keeping me engaged throughout the story.
