Good Writer.

very well written. very much enjoyed the premise of space and level system. the break away of the classic damsel in distress was nice.

I like litrpg

That being said, I believe I rate these a bit higher than some because I just enjoy them so much. I was not really happy with the narrator at first but he grew on me. Story was pretty straight forward. There was some growth in the characters and a little possible consequence of letting someone live. I hope the author fleshes out these wild world's so I can see how wild they are and continue with even better characters and their dramatic lives. Thank you for an enjoyable book.

a fun palate cleanser

this isn't going to win awards but a definitely different system than we usually get

Wild Worlds

A very interesting and new to me enjoying and listening to an audiobook. It sounds very entertaining.

The N00b and The Hero

By defenition the subtitle: Crash Course summizes the plot of the protagnoist as he's thrust into a world full of dangers beyond his leagues. I thought i was a fun and light hearted (yet grim at times) tale of triumph and redemption. That I am eager to hear a sequel for.

The performance on the aurirators end was magnificent and I'd enjoy hearing him read the subsequint sequels.

Mitch Larkins is a phenomnal writer and strong story teller. He created something very special with this very strong first step into a genre that desperately needs fresh air. Mitch brings that to the table and elevates it with interesting characters, dialogue and world building.

An exciting intro to the world

I love RPGs, but I've never read any litRPG or anything similar. I've always kept it to my gaming. After listening to this book, though, I feel like I've been missing out! Following Bairn's training with Uriel was fun and often funny, too. The dynamic between the two kept me engaged in the story and the hints at her level kept me intrigued and curious about her. I have to say, too, that it was awesome getting a new perspective on high and low level characters when seen as actual people and not just...you know..."characters." The monsters were unique enough to be new but their level and skills against the Valiants were reminiscent of monsters I've fought in countless games myself, so they gave it a familiar, nostalgic feel. I love the way this book set it up for an entire universe in the coming books, and I'm excited to see where things lead. I've heard some litRPG can get stat-heavy, but thankfully this book doesn't. It includes enough of the stats and spells and skills to keep the readers informed of everything but not so much that it's distracting. All in all I liked it and I'm ready for book 2!
