Description

A girl suddenly vanishes from her world and finds herself drifting in and out of consciousness in a world of pure darkness. The only insight into her precarious situation is a prompt opening before her eyes indicating that the system failed to delete her.  

The doggedly optimistic and naive teenager, Naomi, is reborn as a monster into a fantastical world governed by the rigid rules of a suspiciously game-like system; a world full of magic and danger where the familiar mingles with the inexplicable. She finds herself deep in the bizzarre, savage forests of the unclaimed lands where deadly monsters prowl in the shadows just out of sight. 

After a close brush with death, any hope that this could be a lighthearted adventure evaporates as she feels real pain for the first time. The realization sinks in as Naomi comes to terms with this not being just a game; it’s her reality now. 

As if coming to grips with the life or death survival situation she finds herself in isn’t enough, the description of one of her skills seems to be speaking to her....

An intriguing tale with a truncated conclusion

I enjoyed the characters and the story oh, so far. However, the final stopping point is somewhat jarring as it feels like there should be a bit more to this first book. The end feels more like a good time for an intermission not a conclusion.

Great story, great read!

This is a great story, with great characters, great plot ideas, and many highly creative and unique ideas. I read a LOT of litrpg, and found this book a really refreshing take on the genre.

I listened to this with my kids (age 7 to 14) and we all loved it. They would ask every night, and soon we were listening even while I cooked supper.

We can't wait for book two!

Thanks Maari!

Relaxing and intriguing

This is a good start to what I can see as a longer series. Naomi is a thoughtful and kind main character and the supporting cast are fun.
The world created is very interesting, especially the pillars. The dubious nature and how things are more than they seem make you want more.
The only reason why I didn't rate five stars is that it is quite short, but when the only shortcoming is that there isn't more that is a good sign.

Not a murdo hobo in sight

This is an amazing story, Out of the dozen or so LITRPG stories I have listened to, this is the second series to have a female protagonist, and the protagonist is well written. There is no quest for power, no murder revenged, no fight the powers that be, just a I woke up in this new world and made a life for herself. Yes fighting happens, but the characters are not seeking battle, they are not fighting for glory, they are fighting because it happens naturally in the story. With the protagonist being a healer rather than a fighting also add to the story!

Listening vs Reading

Though I enjoyed this book greatly, having to listen to all the statistics over and over began to get tedious. As a reader, I could have skimmed those bits, but as a listener, I didn’t have much choice. As this series progresses, These list will only get longer, which I am not looking forward to. I understand the purpose of them, but it did lower me overall enjoyment of the book. I am however eager for the next in the series!

beautiful

I absolutely loved this story and how it has come together so far. every near death experience the MC goes through makes the reader stop and reconsider how difficult survival really is.

The charater and systems/mechanics development is just outstanding and the plot development makes the reader feel like history is being made!

Likable Characters and Plot

If you enjoy LitRPGs this is a hit, plain and simple. Queen in the mud especially for the first half of the book is extremely straightforward. Frankly that is a relief. So many LitRPGs throw out about a billion mechanics that make the reader feel like he is trying to carry all the groceries from the car to the house in one trip.

Queen in the mud takes an abrupt turn in style in the middle of the book with different perspectives and a more complex world. It worked by adding in a lot of complexity after the reader has a while to understand the layout of the world and really dip a toe in. The content was typical LitRPG with some newish twists that are interesting ideas. Overall the mood was lighter which is a nice change from the typical intense LitRPG.

My main pet peeves were the repetition of stats and character sheets. Usually I will just stop listening if a character sheet recurs especially in an audiobook. IMO it is lazy and wastes the listeners time but in this case it didn't reach critical mass and the rest of the story made up for the inconvenience. Also the book has too many stats and ability terminology but again it didn't reach critical mass. Comparing each of these to the genre as a whole I would say it was in the bottom half of stat and character sheet overuse which is rampant in LitRPGs, which is quite good in perspective.

LITRPG elements with a "Chosen One" story...

Pros:
*LITRPG.
*Interesting and unique build options.
*The MC discovers the world as you do.
*Relatable MC
*Brings in interesting and fun elements from other LITRPGs

Cons: **(Minor SPOILERS)**
*The gods intervene on her behalf from hour one.
*Oh look, here's some gear that lets you defeat monsters 10x your capacity
*Oh look, here's some spells that lets you defeat monsters 10x your capacity
*Oh look, here's some minions that are OP
*Complaints about fear and safety after a massive level and skill windfalls
*Flashbacks
*Narrative splits to NPCs who are not leveling up
*Time travel
*YOU ARE THE CHOSEN ONE!!! YOU MUST FULFILL THE DESTINY!!!
*ME!?!! I CAN'T BE THE CHOSEN ONE!
*YOU ARE THE CHOSEN ONE!!! YOU MUST FULFILL THE DESTINY!!!

I stopped listening and returned it at that point.

Plenty of good stories follow this sort of narrative path. I think that this story is done well enough if you're into that sort of thing. Please understand though that -as far as I got in the book- this is much more a "Female King Arthur" story before it's a LITRPG.

I simply have preferences for LITPRG, Namely,
*A LITRPG should be about making empowering personal choices, not a discovery of destiny.
*We should get three levels of thinking about stats: Anticipation beforehand., Thoughts at selection time. Hindsight review. (To be fair, we sometimes got two of these with this book)
*If you're going to switch narrative perspectives, all the characters should be focused on their levels/skills

TLDR: This is a fun "Female King Arthur" story before it's a LITRPG.

Her voice was familiar most of the way through.

I couldn't put my finger on where I'd heard her voice before for more than half this book. Finally it clicked. She narrated The Greater Terran Union Stellaris campaign on the YouTube channel 'Templan Institute'. She does a great job, though her delivery of some of the funnier moments (such as calling a flying platypus monstrosity a "Magnificent Bastard") while still funny overall, then could have been greater enhanced by a better delivery. That being said, the punch line at the end of the book made me shed a tear. It was fantastic. That's how you end abook right!

On a story aspect, it's among the more well put together litRPGs I've listened to. Though the overarching mystery aspect doesn't feel to cohesive to me. I'm a sucker for a litRPG from monster points of view. Granted she was human before, but that doesn't diminish my enjoyment much.

So far the protagonist seems intelligent. Asking questions when a normal person would, no pointless plot induced ignorance here. She thinks of solutions as fast as I do, and doesn't complain. I count the story as a success if I'm not constantly yelling obvious answers to stupid situations.

All and all, a solid addition to the genre.

Good Story

Honestly a underated story it perfectly captured what a litrpg should be from the trials to lvling up to the interesting world that built. I will eagerly wait for book 2

Great Story

This was a really great story. The progression that the character makes is believable and its fun to see an MC that is a monster. Also, the MC is a girl so we get to have a story that doesn't feel stale or recycled because the POV is fresh and the paths to progression are not the common and overdone warior/spellsword/mage trope. The story was fun and original while still serving up some of the best elements that make this genre fun to listen to. To top it all off, the narrator did a great job. Her voice was soothing and varied enough to span the characters. 1I like every minute of the story and am eagerly awaiting book 2.

Absolutely stunning!

Beautiful! From the start a very touching story of Naomi finding herself in a different world and different body. The cover illustration reminds me of the cover of the Amiga game 'unreal' and it's tune also comes to mund with it! https://youtu.be/8NagmtM1epU

Original storytelling

Anyone that loves fantasy or RPGlite would love this novel. you don't have to know anything about gaming and think this is an prime example on how the RPGlite novels can appeal to the border fantasy community. ready for more from Maari here and will be looking forward to the next book.
