The author did a very good job creating a realistic feel and the characters were very believable. Outstanding narration from Hayes and Ellicot.

The first book lots of Gamers dialogue especially when he’s talking to NPCs or Monsters! The growth of the character’s and the story line are fantastic! The narrator did an awesome job with the different character voices and that made it really easy to to see this story in my mind!
So he supposed to be really intelligent but still believes in a god…maybe we’ll get a back story explaining that his parents indoctrinated him into believing something so stupid, otherwise it’s a real dumb premise. Hurdur I’m supposed to be intelligent, but i still worship an invisible sky daddy, and don’t understand skepticism, critical thinking,..
Just a lot of fun
Review from Supers: Ex Heroes →
Been listening to a couple of space/futuristic harem books, and this is definitely one of the better I’ve listened to recently. Narrators are a bonus, Jeff Hays and Annie Ellicott are quickly becoming a reason to try audiobooks regardless of genre.
the story really lacks in writing. the main character is play the “player killer class”… wtf? and why would anyone want to play a game that allowed you to feel some one torture you and not give you the option to log off while it happened… but there’s just something special about unigea or whatever..
Loved the way the story had been done and the cut off in book 3 felt well timed to me. Jeff did a great job giving a voice and personality to each of the characters as well.
A couple hours before picking up this title, I had drudged through about 6 hours of the ‘Eden’s Gate: The Reborn’ audiobook before returning it as one of the worst Lit-RPG’s I had ever listened to. Right after, I picked up ‘Challenge’, only to discover a juggernaut within the genre. Edward Castle excels in characterizing..
Jeff Hayes continues to deliver a great narration. Old characters show very little progression/development. Plus a couple places the story seemed to diverge from the relevant storyline to go into extended tangents that, while the topics were fine to get into, did not need so much time spent on them. I found myself loosing interest..
Wonderful book
Review from Otherlife Dreams →
1st, William is my favorite LitRPG author so this is heavily biased. I started out with SSOSH. I wish I’d known about him sooner. This was his debut and I’m sorry I was late to the party. His writing is eloquent without making the reader feel undereducated. The plot is immersive and was super engrossing…
not bad

I went into the book with relatively low expectations, but I think the overall book was well done.
