Publisher's Summary

Grab your sword and get ready to level up.

The only way out is through.

Unbeknownst to him, Ray is about to partake on an adventure filled with magical beasts, warring factions, and a leveling-up system out of this world. He'll encounter filthy bandits, musty crypts, and friendly werewolves. Oh, you heard us right.

If only he wasn't given negative charisma points around women, he might have a chance, but you can't win them all.

When the only way out of the game may be through, you fight like your life depends on it. Because it just may. Survival means victory, and defeat could mean the end - forever.

Note from the authors: This one's for the underdogs out there. For lovers of adventure, the dice rollers of chaos, and the unapologetic gamers. We can't promise it'll be safe, but we can promise you're in for one great journey.

An acceptable LitRPG

Narration/editing was stilted, overly emphasising "this is a game." I listened to the whole book.

Really good high school level

Cliche phrases overused. Eg ‘he hit the guy so hard that [insert something big].

shallow character and story.

A really great high school kid level of writing only. 3/5 cos it was free.

Nice story, light on the game side

Nice story, light on the game mechanics, saw the twist coming from the beginning

Obvious outcome

Not a bad story and far from the worst I've heard. Far too many real world references used in place of better adjectives, and tacky adjectives used most other places. A few chapters in and you're already having thoughts about the outcome...and you're right.
Not overly memorable, but with potential for the author to improve. I might listen to another, however if this copy wasn't free with the Audible Plus account I would be full of regrets.
