My second time through

I don't know how UT happened but this audio book popped back in my queue as unread so I started o listen to it. I quickly realized I had already heard. due to circumstances I. pelted learning and found to my surprise I enjoyed it more my second time through.

low production quality

narrator/producer should have looked up the correct pronunciation for words such as scimitar. . .

only if you have nothing else

This was the first rpglit book that I had no interest in listening to the rest of the series.

what's with the homophobia and degrading women....

not very good,... story has potential but dialogue and performance are bad .. and a lot of homophobic statements and makes women out to be lesser beings. why are so many Russian novels like this

Story seemed good but the reader...

I gave up part way through due to the reader being terrible! lets mispronounced Lich numourus times fail to say MMORPG or stumble over other genre specific words.

Great book.

Fayroll was the first litrpg series that got me into the genre. Now onto the next book.

That "OMAGUHWATEHFUHDONTGOYET!" feeling.

Absolutly worth the read! Or listen, in my case. I listened.
What started as a short half hour on the way to and then from work very quickly became listening both at and after my job! By chapter fifteen I was so emotionally invested in the story that the second book was already downloaded and qued up, and now that I'm about to start the second book I have the third just about downloaded and ready to listen to.
If you've ever played an mmorpg (whether prior to or after WoW)...
If you dream of a time of "full dive" VR...
If you regularly consider the possible sentience of AI...
Or even if you just like video games and LOTR, give the first book a try, at least.
Seriously, this book will absolutely give you that "OMAGUHWATEHFUHDONTGOYET!" feeling.

great story, enjoyed the humour

live the voice work
.. just..fyi, look up how to say schimitar.. forgot the other words..

The narrator....

Well Adrian needs some serious coaching on how to pronounce some of the more fantasy related words. I hoped that by the second book someone would have helped him out but no. he continues to screw them up time and time again.

Bit mediocre

I bit of a different type Story 4 the genre. it's casual attitude is its strength and weakness. what's most problematic is it's narrator. I don't know how many dozens of mispronunciations this guy did but it got into an epic amount. he's also just unappealing in voice. hopefully the producers make a change, I'll probably pick up the second installment regardless.
