Story
Felix's life on Earth had become a series of dead-end jobs, ruined relationships, and rotating apartments smaller than most postage stamps. By all accounts, even his own, he was a coward. Too afraid to move forward, to take risks. Yet when given the chance to choose between risking his life or walking away from a deadly encounter, he didn't hesitate. Moments before his untimely demise, Felix was snatched from earth and thrust into a magical world known only as "The Continent". Empowered by the "System", he learns that he can strengthen himself through combat and dedication.

Fight, survive, adapt, and rely only on yourself. That is Derek’s creed and what's got him through the System Integration on Earth. Everything changed when the System came. Cute bunnies and beautiful butterflies became savage killing machines. Then the Invaders arrived with a single goal: to obtain ownership of this new habitable planet. War has raged ever since. None of this mattered much to Derek, aside from making living a little more perilous.

A man. His ex-girlfriend's cat. A sadistic game show unlike anything in the universe: a dungeon crawl where survival depends on killing your prey in the most entertaining way possible. In a flash, every human-erected construction on Earth - from Buckingham Palace to the tiniest of sheds - collapses in a heap, sinking into the ground. The buildings and all the people inside have all been atomized and transformed into the dungeon: an 18-level labyrinth filled with traps, monsters, and loot.

But survive he does, only to leave the dungeon and discover that while he experienced several hellish months in the dungeon, only half a day passed on Earth. Randidly's capabilities are now more than enough to help build a small enclave of survivors, but that doesn't mean balancing his sense of responsibility against the plots of an unfriendly town will be easy.

Jin Rou wanted to be a cultivator. A man powerful enough to defy the heavens. A master of martial arts. A lord of spiritual power. Unfortunately for him, he died, and now I’m stuck in his body. Arrogant Masters? Heavenly Tribulations? All that violence and bloodshed? Yeah, no thanks. I’m getting out of here. Farm life sounds pretty great. Tilling a field by hand is fun when you’ve got the strength of ten men—though maybe I shouldn’t have fed those Spirit Herbs to my pet rooster.

Great Addition To The Genre, DoTF vibes
- By Matthew T. Woodhouse on 18-02-2024
Publisher's Summary
Corporate flameout Ned Altimer dreams of leaving his world behind. So, when Earthblood Online splashes onto the VRMMO scene, he dives in and never looks back.
His advantages are twofold: exclusive access to the game’s three-day Head Start period, and a ridiculously handsome talking axe named Frank who has knowledge of the game’s deepest secrets...if the magnificent Frank ever feels like sharing them.
But those advantages also make Ned a target. Once the Head Start period ends, his fellow players will stop at nothing to rip that suave, violent, yet disarmingly charismatic axe right out of his hands.
In 72 hours, the greatest manhunt in gaming history is set to begin.
It’s gonna be a lot of fun.

Great concept, I'm looking forward to the next.
I'm gonna try and be as fair as I can be, I really liked the overall story and character progression, the MC made realistic and well thought out decisions, and I found it very easy to become invested in the story. I'm especially looking forward to further developing the housing system setup in this book, and I appreciate the lack of sexuality in this book, I can't stand fantasy books that turn into power fantasy pornos, I very appreciative that this has none of that
But... my one big gripe that I have upon finishing the audiobook is the lack of adjectives used while writing character dialog, anytime someone said anything it finished with "so-and-so SAID". It's definitely nit-picking, but when two or three characters are having a conversation, it becomes very jarring when it's used over and over consecutively.
Other than that, I'll certainly be purchasing the next in the series when it comes out.

Solid and entertaining story
Great story telling with some good twists and turns. It's also nice in a litrpg to not have the main character building a harem as he goes. Looking forward to the next book in the series.

Made it to 2 hours 30 minutes.
I'm a big fan of gamelit/rpglit but this didn't really feel like the genre.
There was no melting into the world, Immersing yourself until you forget it's not real.
The 3 supporting characters are interesting with uniqueness about them but the protagonist is empty. He doesn't make any strong decisions, doesn't have any intelligent plans and the story devolved into the stream of consciousness of a streamer beta testing a new MMO.
The secondary character has zero chemistry with the protagonist, they are polar opposites in every way that has been presented, they do not have a single point of commonality between them.
The main plot/goal feels ill defined and not a single character has expressed interest in furthering the plot.
It seems like some effort has gone into the worldbuilding but the protagonist doesn't care about it, The NPC's are not people with wants and needs but mindless characters with a script. When the plot devolves into kill X of Y quests... the only kind of quests presented. The npc's don't matter to the plot. It doesn't matter if he is killing bone flute making elven traders, they are just the Y he needs to kill X of.
I'm putting the book down, I may come back to it if I finish another book early but I don't recommend this book.
Narration was good.
Voices where distinct from one another, never wondered who was talking, solid performance.

so boring
Probably the most boring book I've ever tried to listen to.
I've listened to other LitRPG. I found the Life Reset series fairly interesting and engaging. But Shadeslinger is so boring I only made it two hours in and couldn't force myself to go on.

Wow!
This is his first book on Amazon/audible and I can’t believe it!
Love love love it!
It was long, but it didn’t have unnecessary part there just to pad out the story and the pace was great, which often I find lacking in the second half of longer novels.
The author took an unlikeable guy with an unlikeable sidekick and made the weirdly likeable, and totally supportable.
Cant wait for the next instalment ... even if I know this one only just came out. 😅

Tempted to stop reading several times when the game creator came in to arbitrarily nerf the player (who wasn't even particularly powerful). It breaks the whole litrpg progression premise.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. A talking axe with a bad attitude, a world out to get you, a hand full of loyal friends, a balanced story you win some you lose some, and great voices to boot. What else do you need.
I read the comments for this book and thought this could be interesting, and boy was I right. This book is worth the purchase.
