Earth was invaded. Earth was conquered. And humanity was summarily subjugated, as 400,000,000 people were culled.

The terrifying part was this only took the Peacekeepers a second. There wasn't even a chance for us to fight back. In the blink of an eye, questions like whether or not we're alone in the universe or at the top of the food chain were answered. We were not. Not by a long shot.

Despite the mass murder, the Peacekeepers promise they're benevolent. They don't want to rule Earth. They don't want to control humanity. They just want us to stop playing around with AI and genetics.

Willing or unwilling, Morgan and the rest of humanity are now members of the Collective. And like every species in the Collective, they have to learn to play the Game.

What do you do when an AI offers you the opportunity to play the greatest tower defense game the universe has ever created? You accept, of course.

Learning the rules and finding a way to survive can come later. Morgan certainly thinks so.

When aliens are attacking your station and giant six-eyed rats are eating your robotic face, you start to have your doubts. Accidentally starting a war doesn't help, either. But what are you going to do? You're the first line of defense—and you've got a job to do.

A little slow in the first half but what a ride for the conclusion.

Loved it

This author has the likable main character design down to an art. The story is fun and engaging while never being bland.

A fun story with a good MC

It’s a fun enough story. If you are used to litrpg and Gamelit then you won’t find the stats to be an issue. They’re a lot less than some others I’ve listened too.
Gamer gets handed his dream job and of course the gamers know better than the military. And of course earth gamers find all the exploits. There wasn’t any real development of other characters. And our main character gets too OP too fast and too often. Don’t get me wrong. I enjoyed it and will probably listen to the sequels. It’s just not a 5 star story to me. The main character was having fun. And so I was having fun.

Fun but shallow

I wish there was a way to automatically purchase everything a author writes so I don’t have to constantly check if something new is out

Perfect

I didn’t hate the story enough to rage quit. But there were so many points when the ‘logic’ was admitted to be faulty but ‘a wizard did it.’ I didn’t enjoy the story (the performance was good) and I will not be looking for more from this author.

This wasn’t a fun listen, but it sure felt like it was meant to be.

None of this makes sense
