Brilliant and Captivating

I generally don't see the point of a magic world where the mc does something non magical but the way the author goes about this is brilliant in every way. There is probably more magic in what the MC does that most other books. truly amazing and the narrator is great at what they do.

This book is for the true geek. Not only the usual stats and litrpg progression but also some good science.

Great Narration
Fun Characters
Good storyline

It's nice.

yes. it's nice. definitely something worth listening to, I loved it, go hear it, yes. But I would have loved if he had had a bit more opposition. But it was a nice change of pace. I will definitely (listening to a bit too many, so it's only a properly) want to hear the next.

Smart main character

Great book with a smart mc that thinks through hos actions and dont rely on dumb luck. the leveling system is unique and interesting.

Wish there was more focus the effect of the level ups, hard to tell if mc is acutally getting stronger. A few times the mc comments on how hot a guy is which seems out of place and adds nothing to the story.

Overall a great book and hoping for more soon!

Anti magic interesting

A story in a similar vein but it stood out. Anti magic. Who knew. And the lack of minutes endlessly going through levels was refreshing

Great story

Wonderful world building and character development. Interesting RPG elements that feel unique and not over done. Story themes well laid out and developed with numerous “fun and games” to enjoy.

Narrated well and almost felt like a multi person dramatisation at times.

Very good intelligent MC

Good pacing and character development.
Finally a book where the conflict isn't created by the main character being an idiot.

My favourite system in a long time

The concept of anti-magic instantly caught my interest, but the idea of grounding it in science, insight, and detailed understanding makes it so exciting and interesting each time the MC has to fight a new spell.

The overall story is great and I love the characters. Absolutely loved that the MC is bi and I think there was a hint that an important secondary character is trans!! It's annoyingly rare to see queer representation so that was awesome, would love to see more in the rest of the series! Also love that the MC is rational AND instantly hates the colonial slaver people. Can't wait for them to get destroyed in future books!

The performance was great, it's lovely to hear dialogue read with stage directions (actually laughing or coughing lines when the characters do). makes the story and characters feel more real. My only criticism is that his female voices weren't great, but there are a wealth of trans women who have made great resources for creating more accurate female voices. I see many "heat from fire"s in your future 😂

Enjoyable and smart

A smart protagonist with common sense, a plot with both social intrigue and exciting combat! I strongly recommend this book!
