Could you survive waking up alone in a vast and deadly desert?

No food. No water. No answers.

Jane's battle for survival in this unfamiliar land has just begun...

Hunted by the savage beasts of the desert, it's only a matter of time before Jane either adapts to the world around her or ends up as another skeleton rotting in the blistering sun. But what chance does a modern woman have in the endless dunes, dressed only in her pajamas?

Great story

This was a great story. I understand why others might find it offputting. You expect murder and mayhem not the luck stat. Jane draws power in a different and unique way and this story is different enough to feel interesting. The world feels fleshed out with potential and the story takes the time to question the system. Give it a try.

amazing first book

loved this book so much. huge fan of the drop in to New world aspect. fun exciting and all around great start to a series

Terrible narration ruined a decent story.

Literally listened with my hand on the volume button because it would randomly blast or be reduced to a whisper. Also mispronounced tons of common words. Almost DNF but wanted to find out how it ended. Definitely won’t listen to the rest, but might read them in a different format.

Fantastic Fantasy

This gripping adventure had me on the edge of my seat. The unfolding story–full of legends, magic, and action--kept me listening. Love the main character Jane, a young salt of the earth person faced with high-stake choices in an archaic world. The author skillfully navigates between Jane’s 21st century unremarkable human reality and her increasingly sensational power as Judicator Jane. I really felt for Jane as she went through nail-biting experiences and was forced to make world-shaking choices on the spot for better or for worse. Then, out of the blue the mysterious System would update the point progress of Jane’s game persona. Such an amusing counterpoint to Jane’s very real personal dilemmas and outward battles for truth and justice. The audio narration by Angela Clark is delightfully engaging. Ms. Clark's voice dramatically captures the unique speech of each character from wizard to demon to vagabond child. Her narration, like the story itself, is suspenseful, intense and a bit light-hearted. Can’t wait to listen to the next book in the series.

a good first book.

I really enjoyed this book. I understand why some people didn't or won't like this book because the MC is an overly optimistic pacifist but I found it refreshing and a good pallet cleanser from all the op grim-dark and min-max books iv been getting. anyway if you like the MC from the wandering inn or how to defeat a demon lord in 10 easy steps you'll probably like this book.

Great

It started slow but it built into a solid story. But that’s how all these books go. Narration was good

It's like Avatar the last Airbender.

Not kidding on the title. I was hesitant reading other reviews. One that made me more unsure about getting this book was that the main character was just another overpowered character with plot armor on their sides. If you only go so far you'll likely come away with that impression. There was also a part were I was concerned that this would be another lazy plot device were if only the main character spoke up and didn't try to hide everything, none of the conflict would have happened.

But I'm happy to say I was pleasantly surprised. None of that was true. The reason i mention ATLA series, is because the main character is in that same thread. She someone with a power above anyone else. But she comes with deep hardlined moral principles she's forced to grapple with how to hold to them in a harsh cruel world. I found it to be nice listen to be honest. While this book is not in the same caliber of nuance and depth as ATLA, it is well written I think, and for me it's a writer worth supporting.

Chronic pacifism and plot armor

This is a well written book. If not for the MCs determination not to defend her self under ANY circumstances I would continue the series just to see what happens next. But I can't suffer a person that won't defend themselves when the situation calls for it. Also don't like her decision to cripple a sentient race making them extremely vulnerable to genocide because she doesn't agree with violence. Then there is her plot armor. The author didn't even try to hide it, they just quantified it utilizing one of her stats. So she pumps this stat, like an idiot, and has a legitimate reason to have OP plot armor.

Again, and I'm not being facetious, the book is very well written. Which is why I give an overall rating of 4 stars instead of 3. I just really dislike people that refuse to fight and defend themselves and rely on those stronger to defend them. Which is this MC.

From game tester to Luck stat master....?

Why have skills when the luck stat can do it all for you? why I did not like this book. sorry. Mobs dropped dead around the MC just because of their luck stat. I get it, i have read Luck Stat books before, but this one they start off getting stats from everything and applying them to they luck. Way over powered. Monsters just fall over and die. sorry to sound harsh but that is what it all started. I tried to give this book a go.. i really did. The over all story I was hoping was good, a survival in the desert, but that was just "Walking in sunshine".

refreshing

she may be a pacifist but she is op just the way I like it. I stopped listening when I found out she put all stats in luck but if you keep listening it is worth it
