About this listen

A girl suddenly vanishes from her world and finds herself drifting in and out of consciousness in a world of pure darkness. The only insight into her precarious situation is a prompt opening before her eyes indicating that the system failed to delete her.

The doggedly optimistic and naive teenager, Naomi, is reborn as a monster into a fantastical world governed by the rigid rules of a suspiciously game-like system; a world full of magic and danger where the familiar mingles with the inexplicable. She finds herself deep in the bizzarre, savage forests of the unclaimed lands where deadly monsters prowl in the shadows just out of sight.

After a close brush with death, any hope that this could be a lighthearted adventure evaporates as she feels real pain for the first time. The realization sinks in as Naomi comes to terms with this not being just a game; it’s her reality now.

As if coming to grips with the life or death survival situation she finds herself in isn’t enough, the description of one of her skills seems to be speaking to her....

I absolutely loved it to bits I wish there was a second book or at the very least a epilogue.

Bloody brilliant it was

it's rare to find a litrpg with a genuine plot so I was surprised to find such an intriguing story. it's a pleasant change from the usual nerdy gamer guy suddenly becomes an alpha male tropes of the genre and I found it a real breath of fresh air. it's a shame there isn't a sequel as I would have snapped it up.

An interesting story, well told

Really enjoyed listening to this book and will listen to it again some time.
The soft nerators voice fits the character so well.
Maybe not very similar books but "Siphon" and "Hive minds give good hugs" have a similar feeling.

Loved this book and would love to have more

I was unsure about this because it was the only book from this author on goodreads and similar.

But its a hidden gem! Too bad there are not anymore books in this series.

The good story is nicely contained in this book though, not really an unbearable open ending, I just want more!

The MC is well done and there are some seriously interesting twists and ideas in this story. More creative than a lot of litRPG's and hero stories out there.

Surprisingly good LitRPGstory, wish there was more

I read this book first and loved it. I then also got it on Audible and loved it again.

This is a great story without it being too heavy on the leveling mechanics.

After reading/listening to many litrpg's finding something different is great.

I will be reading/listening to all of this series without fail.

MC is a female salamander!

I have got up to chapter 6 and there is yet to find anything captivating about this story. The main idea of the story is not bad but the approach lacks creativity and it feels dull. The first event that is supposed to catch the reader's interest, the action immediately and overall the Mc personality would need some good reworking.

Mediocre/monotone

Cute story but not worth a credit. Nice narration but story itself is lacking anything special

Cute, but ...

This book starts out incredibly crunchy and dull. There is almost no dialogue and when new characters are introduced they are barely capable of conversation. It is a long, long slog with almost nothing substantial really happening.

After hours and hours of over-crunchy levelling and stat sheets adult characters are introduced about 4 hours from the end and the last 2-3 hours are actually filled with exciting dialogue and events happening. It made me tempted to read the next book because the ending was so, so much better than the beginning and middle.

The main character was good and her first subjects were ok if a bit shallow. The setting was well described but there is a lot of time travel that hasn't quite been fully explained and I'm not sure about that.

I looked the narrator up after this. Had this been an author-narrated story I'd forgive her but Thompson is a professional narrator and she did a bad job. If this was full cast audio and she played the teenage girl she'd hit it out of the park but she was completely unable to do a male voice. None of the characters voices change as they shift to adulthood and many of them are indistinguishable anyway.

There were also several pronunciation mistakes like "snout" being called "snoot". These weren't too bad but she's being paid to read so she should be held to a higher standard. Honestly, it was just poor.

Overall I would say LitRPG fans might like this book but other people probably would not.

Better at the end
