The Houndsman

A Base-Building LitRPG Adventure (The Houndsman, Book 1)

By: J Pal

Narrated by: Jack Voraces

Build his fortress. Grow the pack. Save the realm.

After serving two terms in the Iron Army's Building Division, Flint Woodson is done with it all. With his four-legged friend at his side, he wants nothing more than to find a remote settlement, work as a guard or a builder, and find a wife.

He doesn't care about filling his remaining nodes with Skill Stones or wasting his life looking for a Class. Wyldbloods like him aren't destined for greatness.

But the realm is at war. The Fae are sick of humankind violating their treaties, their Wyld armies taking to the fields.

And Flint's plans go out the window when the Diskverse sends him a Life Quest.

Reawaken the Sleeping Fort.

Protect the village of Lea's Slumber.

Give the Champion of Equilibrium time to grow.

Saying "no" isn't an option when the quest involves the word Champion. Not if Flint wants to save the realm and have somewhere left to one day to live out his dream.

Have you been dreaming of a LitRPG with kingdom-building, flashy skills, and evolving dogs? Well, you just found it. The next series from the hit author of They Called Me Mad is here! Grab your copy today.

Is a great potential starting to be recognized

This book has great potential that's starting to be recognized it's had a good start ist and good foundation it flows pretty well the way you expected and that's the problem everything in the book gets to be a little paint by numbers even the ending It is a good read just don't expect anything spectacular yet But as I've said before it does show the promise I'll be coming better

Pretty good

It started a little slow for me, and I want to just shelved it, but I kept going and I really enjoyed it. The connection between Flynn and his dogs was truly amazing, I will keep on with this series

Enjoyable

Jack's a great narrator in my eyes. This story was quite entertaining as well! Always have been a canine lover, myself. My only issue is Jack's speech method for the pucks. That stuttering speech is rough to listen to. Made the last chapter seem like it was dragging on for ages! Haha! I'll still be getting book 2, though.

pretty decent book. hate the goat voice

this was a pretty solid book, I liked the base building and could see some fun with that. and definitely the class where canines can be modified is pretty cool. but every single time that dang puck started talking. I just wanted to whip my phone across the room cuz it was so annoying. otherwise the narrator did a good job and he did fine with the voice for the puck. It was just annoying hearing the goat

The bk didn't quite live up to my expectations!

This book sounded like it would be right up my alley. It was a litRPG, it had a great cover, it had a bonded/beloved hound and a man who only wants to follow his dreams settle down and craft, and a narrator who sounded great. Only it didn't quite work out that way. And for me it didn't quite hit the mark... Yeah, for some reason I kept comparing it to his other series They Called Me Mad which ticked all the right buttons. Even in my own mind, that's a poor way to judge a book!

The Houndsman by accident

I bought this book by accident but it has been a great book to take you away. I didn't know this was a series now I have to listen to the entire series.

Decent

I really liked the premise of this one, not a huge fan of the execution. Flint sounds too young and naive for a 13 year veteran, I'm unsure if this is an issue of writing or performance. My intuition is both. I think a story like this needs an experienced and canny protagonist to be truly believable.

Finally, I'm not a fan of the narrator. In general, but the way he voices the Pucks is truly an assault on my ears. Instead of throwing in the occasional Ram-like 'baas,' he decided to make their entire speech sound like that. It comes off almost like someone speaking through an electrocution.

I might give the next one a go, but it depends atm.

It is okay

The goat voice is very grating and unnecessary, I am not sure if I missed a disclaimer.

I like it.

I recognize that this book may be too mich of a book 1 slow burn and may burn the pants off of some people. If you can deal with that and i terested in somwthing that clearly has a long way to go, buy it. Its also a good...I got stuff to do book... noise in the background book.... that, I'm looking for a wow book... but I can listen to this right now type of book lol.

It has potential but it has that... slow Bobs Universe thing going on and for those looking for stats, crunchy stuff, dungeons and spell books... this is not it. This is wayyy ligther on that stand point. But there is some violence, some magic, some world building and drama.

Hooe I was helpful. 😊

Really looked forward to the release

I am pretty disappointed in this audible. I looked forward to the release the to the. point where I pre-ordered. The summary made it sound so interesting. 1st of all I wasn't a fan of the narrator especially his "system voice"
The worst part is the MC is mind Numbingly unspectacular.
