About this listen
Angus Bjornson only ever wanted to do one thing: to continue crafting exquisite weapons and pieces of armor for his loyal customers. Unfortunately, after one accident too many that leaves the old blacksmith completely disabled, it would seem he has no other choice but to hang up his hammer.
However, that would be underestimating the stubbornness of the self-made man. Fearing he's not going to stop until he ends up dead in his forge, Angus' children offer him a virtual rig that connects to Imperium Games' many universes.
After choosing a fantasy-based world called Alterwelt, Angus - now known as Hephaestus - quickly learns that he can make use of his lifetime of experience by disabling the auto function and playing on manual. His skills allow him to create unique items that beat everything sold on the market. But Hephaestus has a long way to go before he can afford his own in-game forge. Moreover, he only ever learned to work with steel while here he has access to metals as strange and exotic as azuraneum, veridium, orichalcum....

Truly, a solid book.
4 stars all around. The narration could have done with just a tad more liveliness/ passion here and there, as could the writing. Story was interesting although the handful time skips took away from what could have been some interesting content to expand the world.
For a free book this was pretty good.

Awful
I think that they paid the narrator as a contract job, he gabbled his way through the book as if he was busting to take a leak. He gleefully ignored those pesky things like commas and full stops in his haste. Maybe they should have paid him by the hour so he might have slowed down a bit. The story was moronic and the character development... well, what character development?. I didn't like any of them and wouldn't have cared if they lived, died or, worse, were consigned to tead this book for all eternity.

Great story, crappy narrator.
The narrator is ruining a great story.
Not sure what the narrator doing reading in a monotone half a sentence at a time.The dialogue is OK but the story narration, especially around the smiting process is boring and lifeless.
