Publisher's summary

Damon has become a monster...sort of.

Betrayed and left for dead by a group of slaving nobles, he thought there was nothing left but to bleed out as he counted the number of bricks on the ceiling. But fate had other plans.

Moments before Damon's death, a gelatinous, gluttonous mimic reveals itself to him. Fearing a more gruesome and horrible death down the mimic’s gullet, Damon offers the food in his pack—sandwiches, cookies, and everything else! Encouraged by the (admittedly forced) generosity, the Mimic fuses with Damon, enhancing his body and transforming him into a half-man half-mimic monstrosity.

Once a poor, down-on-his-luck scout, Damon now has new capabilities far beyond anything anyone on Basania has seen before.

The only problem? His new bodymate’s insatiable hunger for cake...and human flesh.

This was surprisingly fantastic.

It had everything! A genuinely likable MC (which is -rare- for this genre), excellent narration from all three narrators, a compelling story that involved a diverse group of side characters with their own fleshed-out personalities and goals, a plot that was never dropped and was paced well while also being compelling in and of itself.

It isn't an instant masterpiece of writing...but it has all the things you can ask for in a novel, and all of it was good!

Will definitely recommend to friends, and will pre-order further books in the series as they become available without hesitation.

Great performance, and supporting characters…entitled Main Character.

Main character and first person point of view character is difficult to enjoy, entitled and very modern points of view. Hates nobles for being entitled, but has no understanding of Duty and debts.
Treats the employees of others as extensions of them.

However, all of the secondary characters including the mimic are great fun.
World is…not satisfying, money doesn’t make sense. (A meal that costs 1 gold isn’t remarkable, but 15,000 gold is insurmountable?)

Yet, while I thought about returning this book a few times, I didn’t…and am kind of looking forward to the next installment.

SoundBooth did a great job with the production.

Loved it

I loved the take on the op companion that helps and always love a good mimic book, can’t wait for the next one!

Glad I tried it

Almost didn’t purchase but happy I did. Good story even though we’ve seen similar. Good narration. Overall great and looking forward to book two!

Terrific voice actors

The story meandered a bit but was overall a very fun amd satisfying ride. The voice actors did a terrific job!

Good book, worth the credit

This was a very enjoyable book. I’m waiting until the second goes to audible in early April (?). The main character isn’t stupid which is always a huge plus and the mimic is different and interesting.

kept my attention

I can't wait for the next one to be released on audible. it was fun and the reader didn't sound robotic.

Great firstimer

If ur a first time litrpg reader, the this is a great book for you. Im looking forward to book 2

It’s a unique take on a story

Fun story overall and I really enjoyed it, I only had one main issue. There were times that the mimic eating and making noises made it really difficult to hear what the narrator was saying. A couple times I had to just guess what the narrator said because after multiple listens to that part I couldn’t tell

good so far.

I think it may need a little work. Not more action or drama. Just the right amount of comedic relief and wholesomenes. Details are in there with very little left unfinished (save for the main plot of course), The book only covers new information versus books like "He who fights with monsters" that repeats the same and updated information often. This is good as to not slow the pacing down. I think the missing peice is the main characters depth. The MC has a very shallow mindset on goals. He needs to gain strength and enjoys trying to find more ways to gather it, but for what? For someone's else's goal? It's great that he is doing things for others, but it leave him floundering in a sense. (Yes this was an reference PUN). I think he need a true goal or an end goal to make this growth of his mean something. Getting strong for strengths sake is unmotivating in my opinion. I hope the next book will cover this missing detail a bit more. This series has amazing potential.
