interesting story with an overly tepid MC

So first off the narration is pretty good. Not great, it does tend to fall off during certain bits but I'm not familiar with the narrators' works but it's not bad.

I think the source story has some odd bits lacking though. First off, we're beginning with a handicapped MC who has a bit of a raw deal in life and he's smart but not brilliant so moments of brilliance actually do come off as gutsy.

It's the small things that brings me out of whatever immersion that's being built because they feel so out of place. For example I get that the MC's inexperienced but... from Grassroots Kentucky to having people who are a bit uptight when it comes to...what? Male-female relations? Are we seriously commenting on the world in an escapist fantasy? Wait was he some social activist working in a construction job? Wait what? I don't get it - is our MC from some odd victorian upbringing? And what's this about considering himself a gentleman? Being polite?

Yeah. There's a few of these moments which make you go "Huh?" Not a lot. But they DO stick out.

Then there's the bits during combat where the characters are having a long discussion... during combat. No. I bring it up because whatever sense of danger or urgency that combat is supposed to invoke gets lost when, instead of observing the chaotic events happening in quick-time, you're instead having a long discussion with someone who's presumably in danger.

There's more but I'd be nit-picking.

But it's still good with an interesting setup.

Who doesn't like hot girls and giant robots?

Such a fun story! It really has so much to recommend it. An isekai/portal adventure where a down on his luck Joe gets a second chance at a new life piloting a magical combat mech, kicking ass and getting hit on by hot capable ladies. There's a strong dash of humor in there too which had me laughing out loud and a few steamy sex scenes that had me loosening my collar. Narrators did a great job and the story was super satisfying to listen to. Can't wait for book two!

Nothing like a saucy fantasy story for the weekend.

Intrigued by the artwork and stayed for the story.
Being relatively new to audible I found this story quite addictive and well performed by both Daryl and Jess. The story itself is a solid concept that plays a good role for the smut side of things to integrate seamlessly into the adventures of newly beloved characters. Can’t not wait for the rest of the story to become available.

Decent premise ruined by juvenile sex.

Decent premise for the litrpg genre. Completely ruined by ridiculous and cringeworthy sex scenes throughout. I've submitted this review numerous times and it keeps getting rejected. The story could be ok, but it drags you out of the tale every time this teenagers white knuckled fantasy gets described. And it happens often enough to be not worth it.

Mc starts off at level 200 with an iq of 2. Two hours in a no sign of plot development
