The Grand Game, Book 1

A Solo Adventure in a New World

De: Tom Elliot

Narrado por: Andrew Tell

One man. Assassin. Caster. A new world. And a game that is as brutal as it is complex.

Michael finds himself in the realm of the Forever Kingdom, with no memory of how he got there and who he is. Even so, he must participate in the Grand Game and forge a new destiny for himself.

Dropped into a dungeon of monsters and strange magics, would you survive in a game where to lose means death?

Alone, and with little more than his wits to aid him, Michael must advance as a player, slay his foes, and gain experience. All while navigating the intrigues around him and discovering his purpose.

A world of powers, forces, and mysterious factions. A game with endless opportunities for advancement and power.

Join Michael on his epic adventure as he deals with the game's challenges, the machinations of the powers, and the ambitions of his fellow players.

The start of an exciting new portal fantasy epic!

Not bad, but the MC makes no sense

The overall story the author is building is interesting, and the system is decent. This is LitRPG through isekai means, but uses the amnesia trope, which is annoying. The amnesia does somewhat account for the fact that the MC is dumb, but his decision making makes no sense other than it furthers the plot. I picked up the second volume of this series, and if these issues bother you, then skip it. The decision making only gets worse, and the MC lives through plot armor alone. This includes forgetting everything he learned in the this book, forgetting he is a scout, and generally just wandering intentionally from problem to problem due to some unnamed suicidal tendency.

As to the story itself. It is a dungeon crawl for the first half of the book, and faction wars within the dungeon for the second. The combat is decent, and is frequent. The characters are all horrible tropes. The interplay between the characters makes little sense.

Loved the Webnovel ...audiobook was even better

I'm hopeful there is a book 2 coming, because this one was too good to be one and done.

Can’t wait for the second book!

The story is great. I really enjoyed the magic system and the stats system. Definitely worth a credit.

Ya

This book is good. Except the narration was horrible. I had to put it on 1.3x which made it better.

Litrpg

When a book is labeled an Litrpg its main focus should be constant character progression in a RPG environment! That is exactly what the author has done in this book for 15 hrs plus! Throw in an excellent narrator with good writing and then you have The Grand Game.

PLEASE MORE !!!

please Dear Author I love this book and can't wait for more hurry. Need more ...this book was awesome and the MC was pretty likeable not a dumbass like most authors make there's for some reason. Seriously good story and development.

Enjoyed the Audiobook

I’d recommend this Audiobook. Worth the credit and the time. Entertaining, I finished in two days.

Worth it

I enjoyed this tale and am looking forward to the next installment. The narrator was easy to listen to and did a great job. I would recommend this to anyone that likes litrpgs.
