Publisher's Summary
Life’s tough when you’re trapped in an eight-year-old body on another world.
His name is Eight. Not really, but that’s what the System decided after a slip of the tongue. One moment, he was stepping out the office door on the way home, and the next waking up on a hillside below a town wall. Oh, and the gate guard drove him off, because he thought Eight was a monster.
What’s a boy to do in a world full of magic and so many, many hungry creatures searching for their next meal? Well, there’s an old man inside that body, and he'll use everything he’s learned in his sixty-four years to survive. Starting a fire? Sure. Crafting a spear? Check. Defending the cave he calls home? Also check, a big one.
There are allies too, but not the kind you’d expect.
Eight is a LitRPG novel of magical survival—of discovery, bushcraft, and creatures weird and wonderful. A hit on Royal Road–with millions of views–and now it’s available on Audible (narrated by the estimable Gary Tiedemann).

Hatchet meets Wuxia
Struggles and payoffs. The book is filled with them. They’re well paced and come in a delightful variety of textual flavours. Doesn’t hurt that the narrator has a voice with the richness of freshly melted butter. It’s pretty great

A delightful, soothing gem
Loved it. Bought it on a whim with a bonus voucher because I liked the cover art and was very pleasantly surprised. I've been in a slump with audiobooks and the unique flavour of this litRPG was everything I needed to be fascinated with a story again. It's a quiet tale - plenty happening but much of it is internal. It's full of thoughtful wondering, awe of nature, spiritual consideration and real humanity. I was 100% invested in the MC and was rewarded richly. The performance was perfect for the mood of the story. It felt like litRPG meets Calm meditation app, but still injected the right tension in the action scenes. Very excited for the second installment.

Enchanting
The background and culture of the main character is sprinkled authentically throughout the story to colourits contents in vibrant shades unseen in the genre. Tenderly performed, the narrator takes on everything the book throws at them and makes art with it. A true gem, I look forward to the next instalment.

lacking something
I felt like there was always something missing and that small things were happening with big detail. I just couldn't see it through.

read the first 3 books. Won't be continuing.
I tried to stay with the series as the mechanics seemed interesting. however half of every single chapter seems to be dedicated to a small boy grandpa exploring his overwhelming emotions and how everything brings him to tears. I was left feeling like this was a female oriented Young Adult fan fiction which presented as incongruous to a LitRPG cultivation series.
What remains after 3 books are rudimentary characters which while described with flowery language are not that enjoyable. Plots that are not complex or don't feel clever. And a world which again while described with flowery language's geography is not explained and world building feels like a slap dash after thought. The author would rather tell you about the lovely family who's love brings the MC to tears whenever they think about it, which is every chapter.
