Description

Without so much as a warning, humanity in its entirety was suddenly moved to another dimension. Every person, without exception.

But this new world, with all its opportunities and gifts of wondrous abilities, was a stadium. A deadly arena of an unimaginable scale. And humanity was to be its latest gladiators. Every man, woman, and child was given a weapon and ordered to fight. Stuck in this dimension without a way out, only two options existed for the would-be hunters: Fight with monsters to complete the many trials ahead, or perish.

Faced with hordes of powerful monsters, thrown into battle with complete strangers at random, the unfair game of survival began. And from the very beginning, billions of lives were extinguished in mere moments. But even within this abyss of despair was a small ray of hope: If even one person were to complete every raid, then humanity would be redeemed and restored back to its former glory.

No save points, no revives, no retries. Everyone had just one life to make their way through the gauntlet of raids prepared to test their mettle. Within this marathon of death, one man becomes aware of an exception to the rules of the game.

Translated by Oppatranslations.

Starts bad, gets better, ends okay

The biggest problem I have with this book is how often, starting from about the midway point, the main character talks about how teamwork is the solution to saving the world. Constantly. Every single battle. But his point is completely undercut when he just solos almost every fight. There is only ever one area where teamwork in this book that extolls the virtues of teamwork matters, and the MC mostly just tells everyone else what to do so they can streamroll the area.

Aside from that, the whole makeup of the system is just dumb. Do a fight, come back to hub town. Do a fight, come back to hub town. Hub town is a solo instance, though, so nobody can interact with each other outside of the fight arenas. Find some people you like? Too bad, can't interact with them unless you get super-lucky to get them in your party again or you're one of the last humans still standing.

Rewards are determined by contribution. Great! But rewards are only split between survivors. Understandable. PvP is encouraged so only one person survives to reap all the rewards, even if they get a minor penalty. Ugh. Even if you just solo everything like the MC, though, and everyone else lives, you screw over those other peoples' progression, so they're likely to die anyway. Boo.

But the reward for being the last human to die to is to restart with all your memories. Okay. And it's never explored beyond giving a reason for the MC to grow in power so quickly. Ugh again.

Too repetitive- Too short - Too boring.

Feels like 1/2 a book with little progression. Nothing about this story was interesting or slightly captured my interest. The main character doesn’t even have a flaw to make him more interesting. I found the secondary characters more engaging. I don’t know how these issues didn’t get figured out in the editing stage. It’s like the book was pushed out as fast possible just to get something out.
I won’t be getting any following books in this series. It’s just a boring, repetitive story.
The narrator was the only good thing here. .

Great performance

I continue to enjoy Travis as a reader. He has a good solid voice. coupled with the good story by From Hell, wonderful combination. The story does not go crazy with stat points like others do, and that is a good thing.

Better than expected

I really wasn't expecting much, so I was pleasantly surprised to be hooked after a little while. A chapter or two in, I really didn't think it was the one for me. After a bit, though, it really grew on me. MC grows OP rather quickly, though the rinse and repeat nature of the 'game world' makes the fast track understandable.

A good performance does make a book good

The writing for this book is embarrassingly bad. It feels like it's written by a old white guy that fetishizes Japanese culture. That is coming from another old white guy that has been watching anime since the 80's. Besides that stats seem to make zero sense at all. They seem to hold little to no value. MC gets thousands of stats and admits he is already as strong or stronger than his first life but he seems exactly the same. He is miles ahead in stats over everyone else yet he feels just slightly stronger. Let's not talk about the worst part of the book. During a early mission the MC meets a young Japanese Samurai. The young Samurai seeing the MC in action immediately vows to become his apprentice. You get nothing but cringe for the rest of that mission. There are 500+ reviews as of me posting this and overwhelming they are positive. I have a hard time believing something this bad could possibly be getting this much positive feedback. STAY AWAY AND SAVE YOUR CREDIT!

Great fun, and excellent narration.

As usual Travis Baldree brought new life to a great book. I am looking forward to the next one.

Great start to a series.

I'm quite sure that the translation was very difficult. I'm also sure that in future novels it will get better.

Thoroughly enjoyed the storyline. One of the best things about this book for me was it was a good mix between action, character building and internal feelings. A lot of the litRPG has got way too much character angst and then a ton of action and a little bit of character building, quite frankly I don't need to know everything every character is thinking or their background or how everything happened and why oh why oh why. A good storyline that keeps you interested is what matters to me.

I'm looking forward to the next one!

Breaking bad in the making

Well written, plot that flows…predictably downhill morally speaking. I don’t regret using my credit but I won’t be using another on this series. It is without doubt a soap opera trolling for audible credit breaking up a story into 8-10 hours segments and calling it a “book”. It probably does have an end planned since it is translated from, my guess would be, Russian (but no guarantees.) There is no rhyme or reason for the ending to happen where it does other than leave a nasty residue on your mind knowing the choices the MC makes the final few minutes after the audio book reaches 10 hours…the witching hour of audio credits evidently.

Story

Maybe it’s just me but the numbers don’t really make sense!! Don’t really get why he doesn’t want anyone to know his nationality either 🤔

Fantastic read. Devoured it.

I truly loved these two books and I'm desperately hoping for more in the series. It's a light read and yet I found it very difficult to put down. Was simple and straight forward without over complications, the plot progresses nicely, and there is enough mystery to keep you guessing. Truly enjoyed it. I have over 250 books in my audio book library and there is a lot of trash out there. This series warrants praise. Clean language.

Do you like what I like?
Cradle (one of my favs)
Master Hunter K (true hidden gem)
Awaken Online (Plenty to sink your teeth into)
Life Reset (Shemer Kuznits in general)
Ready Player 1 & 2
Wheel of Time
Almost everything from Brandon Sanderson. Seriously. He's the best.
Michael J. Sullivan's books (The Riyria Revelations and spin offs - high epic / fantasy)
Red Rising (Tim Gerard Reynolds - futuristic / sci-fi)
The Path to Paz (YA fantasy)

More decent LitRPG stuff:
Noobtown (fun/light)
He Who Fights With Monsters
Irrelevant Jack (surprisingly decent and "clean", which for LitRPG is uncommon)
Ascend Online
Dungeon Crawler Carl

Currently listening to?
Expeditionary Force by Craig Alanson.
Just starting this series and by chapter 10 I am really getting into it.

Why would I promote these other authors as well? I believe that good writing needs to be promoted. The more we support good authors, the more they will put out for us to enjoy! Simple as that.

Fantastic Performance and Fast Passed Story

This is an amazing translation with an incredibly engaging story. I don’t write reviews often. But this surprisingly great book deserved sing public praise.

If you like enemy of the world then you'll like t

This is one of those books that if you read enemy of the world you'll like it And you can tell why the person didn't put their name in because they seriously could have gotten sued by Disney for some Of the references The author is very gutsy and in some ways original but in other ways there is a paint by numbers to it but it's a good paint by numbers a good set up for the next book With a good dilemma of do I concentrate on myself or do I help people out in order to get this finished finished concentrate on now or concentrate on the future
