About this listen
"A hilarious, balls-to-the-wall, heavy-metal stake fest!"—Matt Dinniman, author of Dungeon Crawler Carl
Engage full-on warrior mode and unleash your inner hero to become the ultimate survivor!
When he accidentally opens a medieval chest that looks like it just fell off the set of Game Of Thrones, Brad Wright is thrust into the wildest adventure of his life.
Welcome to Darkworld, a savage survival game where Brad and his sassy Chihuahua, Slash, think they’ve got it all figured out. Brad’s a strategy gamer, after all. Build a shelter, grow crops, forge weapons, and form alliances to escape this nightmare.
Do that and they’ll find their way out of the game in one piece.
But Darkworld’s creators have a twisted purpose. Game guides are less reliable than a rusty sword. An AI is hell-bent on breaking players. There are trolls, goblins, vampires, and worse, off-key bards. Even if Brad gets past them, he has the butchers to contend with. Sadistic people who paid to carve up players like Thanksgiving turkeys.
Brad can’t fail. Dying in the game doesn’t just mean GAME OVER. Fail, and it’s like being flushed down the metaverse’s toilet. Poof! Vanished like a glitchy NPC. What’s worse than being dead? Being erased like you never existed at all.
The rules are brutal. The stakes are high. Success is nearly impossible. Victory means more than loot and leveling up.
The ultimate game of survival will be won in a loincloth in this action-packed LitRPG Adventure perfect for fans of Dungeon Crawler Carl and This Trilogy is Broken! When you start a game with nothing but a loincloth, a dog who cusses like a sailor, and only your wits, there’s only one way to go.

Just a DCC wannabe. No impaling in sight
Just an average story and slash just kills it with his howling. 50% building simulator and the rest is just more disappointing having a idiot mc. The voice acting is decent.

An entertaining slow burn, but annoying mascot
A Nebulous evil cabal grabs and tricks people into playing a deadly start from scratch, real-as-life strategy combat game.
This story is definitely slow: We get some half way in in before the MC even gets a pair of shoes, and the main quest doesn't get started until about three quarters the way in or so. I like stories that are slow burns, but if you like stories where the MC shoots up in levels and abilities and is wearing magical armour by chapter 3, this isn't for you.
The Main Character Brad I'd describe as a genre stereotypical ex-military gym junkie dude with a dead-end job. The system AI is the snarky kind typical of many of these stories, but it quickly gets to the point, and it's voice acted well. Likewise, the guardian character. There are no long readings of stat tables.
The mascot though, SO incredibly annoying. You will probably decide if you continue with this book based on that character alone. As he levels up and gains skills and abilities, he doesn't seem to gain a single point in "growing up". The mascot is like being stuck with your whiny 10 year old cousin who can't wait to tell you all about the very first and every dirty thing that appears in his annoying, immature little head. ALL the time.
The story definitely has its parallels to Dungeon Crawler Carl. If you like that series, you'll probably like this book, too. It's just a lot slower.
