Killshot Apocalypse

An Action-Packed LitRPG Apocalypse (Trace, Book 1)

De: V.A. Lewis

Narrado por: Marissa Parness

The world falls into chaos. Earth is integrated into the multiversal System. And all Trace has is a gun.

Trace Taylor was at a shooting range when the world was kidnapped by the alien species called the ‘Esvol’ to begin humanity's integration with the System. Each individual person is given a femtochip implant and a class to fend for themselves before being sent back to Earth.

Once Trace returns, she finds that the planet too is left scarred by this encounter. Faced with monsters, dungeons, an annoying AI, and a lot of insane idiots, how will Trace come to survive this newly-changed planet?

Trace Taylor

Alot of people seem to insist on calling Trace Taylor by Trace Taylor's full name every time they direct there attention to Trace Taylor so at least I never forgot Trace Taylor's name. Otherwise not a terrible story, though I do wonder when she will start running out of bullets, she may have started in a gun store but that still doesn't equal infinite ammo

35% Stats repeated over and over and over

I couldn't get past the fact that sooooooo much time is spent listening to the AI ramble on about stats... then the MC seems like a 12 year old throwing a tantrum half the time and a weird idea of what's ok and what's not... it's ok to not kill a bunch of rapist and murderers but it's ok to shot out the knee caps in a post-apocalyptic Era so they have to child feed someone while trying to grow food...

Killshot, or not?

its the apocalypse where raiders, monsters and worse are doing terrible stuff yet the MC doesn't kill obviously dangerous people who have told her to her face they are going to do horrible things to her, yet only disabling shots, to what end? the hopes the police are going to do something... its the apocalypse there is no such thing as a free meal!? what is she thinking. serious plot hole. but whatever...

that being said its an interesting story with good narration, and decent character progression. perhaps the next book will have more crafting and maybe using the long guns she maybe recovered...

Worth it

Worth the credit. It’s like the premise and characters in this series. Another series from this author to enjoy.

Scatter Brain Trace Talor

Felt like the story couldn’t really decide what it wanted to tell the reader. The main character kept flipping her goals around and didn’t really stay on one set path until it was complete. She only did something until she seemed bored with it and move on to something else.

good book

I want to know if they got the guns back into the vault missed it

Love the narrator, the MC tho... *sigh*

I like the premise of this book and I like the author's other series. However, I am frustrated by this MC. I realize this is how the plot is, and the MC fits the plot, I just find it frustrating how shortsighted the MC is.
Blahblah growth of character, but I physically get upset and dissociate when she does what I consider to be stupid stuff. Actually sick to my stomach and have to pause and/or bang my head on the wall. I don't know if I can continue to the next book.

Narration itself is great! I really enjoy this narrator and was specifically looking up more of her works which is why I bought this audible.

I appreciate and enjoy the diff accents for diff characters, it clearly depicts their various origins, but not to the point of annoyance. The energy of each individual is also clear in their tones & they are distinct enough between characters that I don't get lost.
Moves thru stats pretty quickly compared to other litrpgs. I realize one can only do so much with the material they are given, she does admirably well by not pausing or lingering too long thru stats read outs.

Sometimes some of the slang emphasis is jarring. How she says 'No cap' doesn't sound quite right to my ear. (A little too try-hard, the enthusiasm is right for the character but it doesn't quite sound as fluid or natural as normal speak. It verges on a sarcastic interpretation of Liz's regular dialect.) The rest of the slang sounds fine.

mostly fun listen

fun lit rpg. mixing scifi and fantasy. some dark situations towards the end that deterred from the fun listen.

2.5 stars. Missing drive.

It started out on decent footing.

Yes the stat read was annoying and seemed meaningless. At no point did a stat upgrade translate into real world progress for the reader.

The MC has no drive. Which is lazy cool. But also the story has no drive. No real direction with any haste.

The MC definitely should have been regulated to side character status.

this story is bad the MC behaves like a SC and only gets by do to a ridiculous amount of Ex-Machinas
