    I put this on before taking a nap, and woke up to the most vivid dreams. I then sat listening to it with my eyes closed, instead of just jumping up and getting going, and the visualization of what was being narrated was fantastically vivid and delightful.
    Thank you kindly for sharing this book on RUclips.

      Math is a massive part of any video game. If you can't do math, why are you listening to a LitRPG? Some of us (me) like the numbers so we can see if the Author is any good. If they can't keep numbers straight they're not gonna be able to keep abilities and other characters progressing properly or will forget what they wrote in the last chapter

    • @Juhani139
      @Juhani139 4 месяца назад +5

      @@josejrflores i actually am a gamer too. I think the stats work better in book form than audiobook form. It's extremely tedious (and this is like the 6th litrpg book ive listened to with this problem), it's tedious to listen to the WHOLE stat list every chapter when just one or two stats change. In book form the eye can skip to the relevant stat (like in games).
      Just my opinion. It messes with the pacing.
      The best litrpg series I read didnt focus so much on that, but rather plot, character and tension.

    I was gonna listen to this book. But I made sure to read through the comments first to find out if the narrator was not a robot. Well, needless to say, I won't be listening to this book.

      You want a robot? I'm pretty sure it said at the beginning that it's ready by the author?

      I'm not sure why anyone would want the narrator to be a robot. I always find that when people read their own stories, it gives it a bit more life and meaning.
