This was such a fun listen. Jeff Hays absolutely makes this story come alive. His range is impressive, and the character differentiation is strong enough that you always know who’s speaking without needing tags. The comedic timing is sharp, but he also handles the intensity and tension well, so it never turns into “just a comedy.”
Production-wise, it’s clean and polished: consistent levels, clear audio, and no distracting edits or background issues. The pacing of the narration matches the pacing of the book perfectly, which matters a lot in a story like this where timing is everything. If you want a LitRPG that’s genuinely funny, fast-moving, and elevated by a top-tier performance, this is it. Glurp Glurp.
