Just perfect. If anything, it was way too short. I hope a book 2 releases soon

Perfect litRPG adventure

It's a simple, well-written story with solid characters, a solid MC and an overall fairly straightforward plot.
Its well narrated and does not drag.

Good but not earth-shattering

At my request I received a copy of this audiobook in order to give a fair and unbiased review

Genre: LitRPG fantasy
LitRPG system: Class and stat based. Classes have special abilities that rank up independent from stats.
Explicit/adult material: None.

Summary:
The world is ending. Sam watches it end powerless to save it, when he is suddenly sent back in town to remake his choices to help save his world from its terrible fate.
He is now once again an orphan at the bottom of society, but blessed with his memories and his class already unlocked (though once again level 1), he must figure out a way to leverage his knowledge to make the difference and save everyone.

Narrator
Voice diversity: Good, but dual narration would have allowed for even better diversity. Especially female voices become a bit similar.
Pacing and intonation: Extremely good. The atmosphere of the scenes are masterfully conveyed.
Overall: 4.5 / 5 stars.

The book’s strengths.
- Great narration
- The way the book deals with MC defeating enemies beyond his own power level works really well and doesn't feel forced.
- I like the way the story is told from changing perspectives.


The book’s weaknesses.
- Two characters, Toby and Alice are both quite annoying and play important roles. I hope and think that they both will grow into likeable and important characters. But the bad starting point feels too bad.

Overall: 4/5 stars
A good start to a new series and definitely also a book that can stand on its own.

Can you save the world that burned?

to be honest if I was younger I think I would have liked this but to be honest it's very juvenile, magical world but main character is called Sam... got to chapter 47 and they'd only just gotten out of the white gate, both too slow paced and too fast paced

meh
