About this listen

The algorithms predicted that Nu-Earth would fall, that all Nu-Earth humans would soon be extinct.

The algorithms didn't understand Tyson Dawes.

After pacifying the old Earth underground military base and defeating the Sleem, Tyson Dawes and Silken Sands are flush with new items and morties. But the Dearth Conglomerate has been circling over them in Arizona, and they want his land.

Which wouldn't be such a problem if the boss weren't such an incompetent and spoiled child.

Bad business decisions, cronyistic impulses, and an unrelenting invisible hand continue to hem in Tyson and his Nu-Earth refugees. Allies fall, and life, already cheap, moves to the discount bin as he's forced to face the bottom line.

This story features an amalgamation of Amazon, Walmart, every service fee, sales algorithm, membership perk, advertising jingo, Microsoft mascot, and insane discount that you have ever experienced in your life coupled with the madness of the multiverse, a dash of invisible hand monopolism, feudalism, straight-up cronyism, and LOTS of profanity.

This MC is unlike others you have heard before. He cares about other humans, even his crappy boss. He doesn’t seek to be the leader—he just naturally is.

It’s him leading the desperate and hopeless against the machine.

BuyMort: Smart Shopper: How I Became the Accidental Warlord of Arizona has fantasy, violence, base-building, tons of market loot, monsters, a dungeon, affiliate and credit levels, and progression. It is single PoV and has no harem elements.

My only critique is that the narrator who nailed the non-human female voices, has a some exceptionally grating human female voices, nothing an additional female narrator to he diversify the performance couldn't fix.

Otherwise apart from a few exposition dumps which had me zone out, I really enjoyed it.

Exellent, I can't wait for the next installment.

If you liked the first book, you'll like this one.

Be warned, the romance is terrible, as is narration of the love interest. Just... So bad. That over-the-top Marylin Monroe breathy accent and clunky, forced attraction had me rolling my eyes so much I got dizzy.

Decent

Great story overall, kinda short, hard to justify the credit on the book given how competitive the litrpg genre is. Also I feel like the tension of the narrator doesn't match the story pace sometimes. For example, there's a part where the character is dazedly picking glass shards out of his back doped up on pain meds, and the author is using the same tone of voice he uses when he is mid combat. VA is good tho, just feels like he needs to be more deliberate with when he shifts tone.

Great story, loses a star for length
