each section its own story

every night I listened for an hour. each hour had its own complication and story, although it wasn't simply divided into small narratives. the whole book flowed as 1 story with many 'side quests' to lvl up your understanding of the book.

can't wait for the volume 2 audiobook

LitRPG/Isekai roller coaster of entertainment

The story unfolds on layers.
A roller coaster of a tale that deftly weaves character and world development.
The characters are diverse and flawed, which makes them relatable. Although sometimes annoying, that's part of what makes them so real.
The plot weaves and develops, sometimes keeping you on the edge of your seat. It's full of pleasant surprises and devastating turns.
Given the diverse and varied cast of characters, narration could have been problematic. However Andrea Parsneau rises to the challenge and exceeds expectations. One of the main characters, Erin, has a voice which some may find irritating but is well suited to her personality, given the genre.
I went into reading this book without expectations, shared it with family and friends, and none of us could put it down. Amazing!
Now I have to go and read Volume 2 in print.

A masterpiece 9.5/10

You'll laugh loudly at times and cry at others this was so much better than I imagined it could have been.
I've read a lot of books close to 50,000 chapters and this book I'd highly recommend to anyone. Now one of my favourites.

There is more than one Character

And there is more than one dimension for each. Character growth is the name of the game. Story tropes are original in feel and executed with style. Should pass the Bechdel Test handily and chapter 24 & 25… I won’t mansplain those but I’ll play them for my wife for the lols.

On to the next adventure for me.

Fantastic narrator

Really good narrator! The overall story and the world is fantastic, with some quite unexpected bits, particularly towards the end! The 2 main characters are occasionally a bit too whiny but if you just use the 30sec skip ahead a couple of times whenever they start wallowing it’s completely fine. Persevere with the beginning, they were obviously trying to emphasise the culture shock a well-fed, never been in danger, ‘civilised’ person from our world would feel.

loved it

like many reviews have said the first three hours are a slog but it's worth to hear a refreshing new take on how a regular person would handle being transported to a new world
awesome world building and real characters

I really wanted to like this book

I listened for over four hours and really wanted to like this but in the end the poor characterisation of the main character beat me. I can handle whiny leads but the way she would seem confused at times when confusion was unnecessary was too much. I don’t need a lead to be the smartest person in the room but it’s just lazy writing to make them the most confused just so you can then over-explain everything. For those who love the books, you be you, but I am out sadly.

I just could not get into this story

The description looked really good, but I got frustrated with the story and realised it is not for me.
