Publisher's Summary

Selected as one of Audible's best audiobooks of 2021

Jason wakes up in a mysterious world of magic and monsters.

It’s not easy making the career jump from office-supplies-store middle manager to heroic interdimensional adventurer. At least, Jason tries to be heroic, but it's hard to be good when all your powers are evil.

He’ll face off against cannibals, cultists, wizards, monsters...and that’s just on the first day. He’s going to need courage, he’s going to need wit, and he’s going to need some magic powers of his own. But first, he’s going to need pants.

After cementing itself as one of the best-rated serial novels on Royal Road with an astonishing 13 million views, He Who Fights with Monsters is now brought to you in professionally formatted audio.

"Not too bad", Chris said

"There's just something about how this book was written that annoyed me", Chris said. "It's the way the author is constantly reminding me what each character just said", Chris said. "It makes me question whether I want to continue with the next book", Chris said. "I found this particularly noticeable in the first half of the book", Chris said. "However I think I got used to it towards the end", Chris said. "I'm curious to know what happens in the next parts, but I might wait for it to go on sale", Chris said.

“Jason said”

The success of this series is unstoppable, and deserved. I would only point out that Heath Miller’s slightly staccato reading highlights every “Jason/Rufus/Gary said”. Once they draw one’s attention they can’t be unheard. Hopefully, this is mitigated in later volumes.
That said, Heath does a good job elsewhere, rendering the pseudo-gameplay messages in a manner that amuses rather than grates, which ain’t easy the umpteenth time he must repeat “One hundred iron spirit coins added to inventory”.
I enjoyed the story overall, and will buy another.

Fun, great world building & characters

This book exceeded my expectations. The world building, magic system & characters were well rounded & had me hooked. The quest/gaming aspect never felt tired or over used, and the witty, dry humour was perfect. I bought the 2nd book immediately after finishing this one.

One of my favourite litrpg

Storey has good humour and well thought out characters. This was one of those rare books I would go out of my way to keep listening too.

loved it

It surprised me, but I loved from start to finish and it has given me a lot of inspiration for my Dungeons and dragons game

Aussie Adventurer!

This personifies the smart-alec but resourceful grit of aussie personality in a real world RPG adventure.
I think many of different cultures may find the protagonist's personlity hard to gel with/get his humor, whereas aussies will relate while smiling.
Such a great story/premise. Think of the anime genre 'isekai' where MC wakes up in an RPG, only this isn't a game: it's a real world where magic, monsters, adventuring and leveling up is actually real!
Narrator took a tiny bit to get used to at first. He's no Marc Thompson but he does well doing different voices and accents.

Very easy listening

Genuine humour, touching moments, interesting characters, and an absorbing world. Litrpg done better, without the harem or OP mc.

Amazing read

Loved the flow of the book, I love how the author did not inundate you with characters uselessly just so they could fill up the pages with needless complications. Well exacted on all counts, even the narrative was perfect.
