About this listen

A former nobody is about to become a major somebody—and learn it's not all it's cracked up to be—in the fourth installment of this LitRPG fantasy adventure.

Back when things were normal, Orrin the Timid tried saving his best friend, Daniel the Popular, from a runaway truck. But he failed, and the resulting crash landed them both in a world of magic, monsters, and levels. There, Orrin grew from a mild-mannered sidekick into a legit powerhouse, unlocking Administrator-level powers unlike anything else. Still, things are tough for the former zero.

First, the psychotic witch who recently tried to obliterate him just cut a deal to stay out of jail. Second, dealing with power and politics in Dey is becoming a major migraine. Third, the devious Hospital is dragging Orrin into its internal strife. And lastly, "hero" Daniel's just barely hanging on to his sanity, on the verge of turning into a raging, uncontrollable murder machine. Trying to keep it all together has Orrin at the end of his rope—physically, mentally, and mystically.

If all that wasn't enough, the Demon Lord is at the gates, prepping his Dark Horde to roll in and rain destruction on the people of Asmea. Meanwhile, Orrin has stumbled onto a mystery whose every unraveling thread could have far-reaching implications....

The fourth volume of the hit LitRPG fantasy series—with more than 600,000 views on Royal Road—now available in paperback, ebook, and audiobook!

Tropes include: zero to hero, role reversal, unlikely hero, revenge of the nerds, and fog of war.

I enjoyed the books up to now even though I said it is a basic storyline the first books narration almost stopped me but it was good enough the I pushed through

I will continue the series when / if they get released as I am curious where it will go. But if you are looking for a light hearted series to kill time and can survive the annoying way the narrator pronounces (almost yells) words with special meaning then it is not a bad read

Fairly basic storyline- but enjoyable read / listen

Very endearing! It has great warmth and imagination. The subtle humour and fun in the primary relationship is amazing.

Love the ‘I’m not the Hero’

this whole book had no real progression or stakes, I'd just recommend strongly that you skip this book in the series.

very very forgettable
