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.

Loved

I was really resistant to the recommendation for this book by eventually,I ran out of things to listen to and decided to give it a go.
Good decision.
Well written and paced just right imo. Not drowning in stats. Slow character growth, which is a pleasant change for me. I'm looking forward to the next one.

I think I played the game in the 90S, it was borin

This illustrates the fact that a gamer ain't necessarily an author. As well as leveling up the introduction of some minor things, like a plot, or character development would have.made it more enjoyable. As far as I can tell the protagonist distinguishes himself by his lies and duplicity and running into cardboard cutouts of monsters. And stealing the use of mithril for this third rate pulp should have Tolkien spinning
in his grave. I regret spending a credit on it.

Not good for audio format

I like the idea and there is some things i like about the book, but its a tough listen on audio. I DNF after 2 ish hours because it was like 50/50 story and reading of stats. I might give the book a second try on kindle.
