About this listen

To earn a second chance at life, Devrim Bains must die and enter a virtual world of monsters and mayhem. Let's just hope one death is all it will take, because he can't afford another.

When Devrim Bains reaches his 21st birthday, he's finally punished for a crime that was never his fault - being born. In a world of strict population control, his life's been decided for him, and it's about to end. But a stroke of luck gives him opportunity to have his consciousness uploaded into a simulated-reality game world with the promise of paradise.

Except paradise always comes with a cost.

Monsters of legend and myths of old come to life in Lorian, needing to be slain or tamed for Devrim to have a shot at enjoying freedom. It'd be easy enough if one of the fiends hadn't raised an army hellbent on conquering everything. The goblin king has his sights set taking the lands of Lorian in his iron grasp, and Devrim Bains' only chance is to quickly learn what it means to be a slayer.

To make sure his new lease on life isn't cut painfully short, he's going to have to embody the greatest rule in Monster Slayer Online: hunt or be hunted!

Goblin King is the first novel of the Monster Slayer Online LitRPG/Gamelit series. If you loved The 100, the Monster Hunter game franchise, and Dragon's Dogma, you'll enjoy this fast-paced, hard-action monster-slaying novel.

Author's note: Goblin King is a LitRPG/GameLit novel featuring gamelike progression/skills and appropriate text/pop-ups in narration. Please keep this in mind while listening.

GOOD BOOK

I have over 300 audible titles and I have to say that the narration and performance of this book is one of the best I've heard. It's a compelling universe with a great story and awesome characters

One of the best I've heard

The book covers the basics like every litrpg. New guy trapped in a world with a big bad, underpowered and refusing to stand down. It's better written than most.
What sets this book apart is Jeff Hays, and that song. Damn that guys voices are awesome, every character different and recognisable.
I'm disappointed there is no sequel yet.

Promising

The story starts with an interesting premise. The Mc lives on a ship/planetside station in an overcrowded population and has to transfer this extra realistic game and fight monsters due to *circumstances* . The litRPG part of the story is not hard to follow, the story not focusing too much on it but giving enough information without overwhelming the listener. Overall the audiobook is full of packed action, maybe too much, going from a fight to another (well explained and non repetitive in their own, but missing that deeper connection between the characters - sometimes feeling flat, other times working just fine).

I do miss more of the internal dialogue of the character. I believe that would’ve added so much to the whole story (just like many other titles Jeff Hays has narrated so far).

I hoped this book would be more like The Heroic Villain by Charles Dean, which might make this review slightly biased due to personal preferences, but gave full stars nonetheless.
