About this listen
They lied, they lie, they will lie. This world is built on deception.
Our hero entered the store that fateful evening and became involved in a life-or-death game arranged by a mysterious creature. He survived, but instead of being on Earth, he now appeared to be in a different world, with other people who had passed a similarly deadly test. Some made it through by using force, some by using their cunning.... Everyone has their own story, but they all have one thing in common - there are no good people among them.
The world of Karik turned out to be akin to a game. In it, one can level up, grow stronger, even resurrect in case of failure. But if one makes a mistake of believing the wrong person, they will die for good. Will the magic that he needs to conceal, or maybe his patron, who seems incapable of telling the truth, help him? Who can say?

Good premise, but...
I like the idea of the villains, i like the world-building that the authors did, especially with the gaming stuff. I would have adored it but there was some things that was to understand:
- a lot of characters, jumping from person to another. this was made even more difficult with the audio actor having limited voice--that could not separate the characters. I glazed over the other ones, and couldn't really keep up
- the protagonist [main villain] doesn't really have a centring characteristic about him, he just wants to survive--but you don't know if he wants to rule them all or just be deceiving or a hero. It seemed like he was bordering morality, nothing too extreme--which was kinda the expectation when you see a book with 'villain' in the title
- it was hard to figure who the audience this book was for: ya or adults--it seemed a little murky.

Ridiculous voice characterisation
The story isn't too bad - a slightly different twist on the genre and the writting is solid. However the vocalisation of every character sounds like a bad cliché movie vampire. There is no way to distinguish which character is talking because they all sound like the same bad vampire. The narration between episodes of dialogue is "sing songy" and equally bad. I would have listened to book 2 in the series but I just don't think I can bring myself to try to struggle through a similar performance. i think I will search out the written version to read rather than torture myself with the audiobook.
