About this listen

Follow an unfortunate soul who has been thrown into a fantasy world with nothing. He is quickly railroaded into joining the Legion and has to develop under harsh conditions while slowly discovering his potential power.

This story has light LitRPG elements with a stat and magic advancement system. The MC is not overpowered and experiences the pain of growth as he tries to find a place in the strange new world while staying alive. Neither are coming easy to him as his Legion Company is constantly in harm's way.

I’ve been waiting for this series to have three books out because I thought I’d love it so much, I was not wrong!

Just a superb litrpg book. Excellent writing and a breah of fresh air for the genre. My only regret is not reading it sooner!

fantastic book

what I loved is that the main character is continuously stomped to the ground, but continues to work. most interactions between characters feel human, like how'd people would talk to each other. much more so than most other books I have seen so far.
the author has done a couple of things really well, world building (magic and technology feels realistic, at least to my history teacher knowledge), characters, every character feels thought out, they have a goal, and won't do things without reason.

I'd say the only things that was poorly done was the main characters lack of love for his old family, and lack of information on how his Isekai part happens, you're told it from his perspective, and later you hear of reactions to that, but not of the cause so far till book 4. though an explanation isn't needed, you probably won't get it.

still, very good book and story, a bit quick on learning language on my side, but it is how it is. the audio is well done.

Good story well read

I just checked my library, and I think I have around 150-200 books there, all of them a mix of fantasy and progression fantasy. This is easily one of my favorites.

It’s rare that you find a gem like this. I am usually very judgmental when it comes to writing as I dabble a bit in writing as a hobby, but this blew me out of the water.

It is exactly what I want from a progression story.
First the powers:
It has an MC with awesome powers, while giving him enough weaknesses that he can’t just steamroll everyone. In fact, most monster, characters etc. feel stronger than the mc, which I really appreciate. The mc also gets progressively stronger, but it’s slow.

The world building is first class. The whole Roman concept is amazingly done. It just keeps getting better and better.

It also keeps being a soldier book, with banter, different characters in the squad and hard moral choices etc.

There is tension, action and the pacing is marvelous. Main issue is that the book is too short, but luckily there is a second book, with a third coming in a month.

What really brings it all together though is the excellent writing and narration. Combined with
Just buy the book, you won’t regret it.

Just buy the book, you won’t regret it if you like progression

Great story with a different take on isekai.

The MC gets transported to a different world, and is quite frankly fucked. He is not super overpowered, and everyone around him can essentially kill him. He does have some special abilities... but for a very long time he is unable to fully utilize them. This leads to an interresting story about him having to adapt

Great story with a different take on isekai

This book is one of the best audiobooks I have listened to it feels natural and it allows you to put yourself in the MC boots and the MC makes good decisions that are understandable.

Overall this is one of if not the best audiobook I have listened to. Looking forward to we’re this series goes
