Damien nearly ended the world. Now, his mistake might be the only thing that can save it.

Orodan was an orphaned street rat who clawed his way to the county militia with hard work. When calamitous events unfold and draw him into events bigger than himself, Orodan's battle-loving disposition leads to a warrior's death. Then he wakes up again at the start of the Cataclysm. Then again. And again. In a world of skills, titles, and blessings, a smart time-looper would perhaps scheme, plan, amass equipment, and allies. But not Orodan. If there's one thing he's good at, it's stubbornly trying the same thing over and over again via brute force till it's done.

Story15
Benny White had been having a rough couple of years, and the approaching apocalypse wasn’t exactly helping. Pulled from the point of death and thrust into a horde-mode-style survival game, Benny’s odds weren’t looking too great. To make matters worse, an eldritch god… entity… thing named ‘Dave’ tasked him with destroying the very System that now controls his fate. But hey, it's not all bad news. Benny’s experience as a lab tech grants him a rare Splicer Class that lets him repurpose the genetic material of slain enemies into augments for himself.

The System warned them. The world panicked. Alex prepared. In college for a degree he didn’t care about, the promise of the System creating a world where magic and challenge awaited—even at the risk of death—was the best news Alex possibly could have imagined. Yeah, Alex was ready for a new life. He wasn’t, however, ready for his only friend to shove him through a portal into hell the moment the apocalypse started.

When it comes to action and adventure, every hero needs a good sidekick. Holmes has Watson, Batman has Robin, and Daniel has . . . Orrin. More like brothers than friends, they always have each other's backs. And as Daniel is the big, strong, handsome type, Orrin is more than happy to remain in his shadow at school, at parties, pretty much everywhere. Then things take a turn for the truly weird when a terrible accident catapults the pair into a world totally unlike their own, in which the rules of a role-playing game hold sway.

When Mira’s home is destroyed by gods, she makes two requests to the System that sends her to another world: to be sent to an isolated forest where she can avoid the violent path to godhood, and to gain magic that helps her live and thrive in the forest. She is granted both, though in the harshest way possible. The System strands her in a dangerous forest where half the plants are poisonous, the rivers teem with souls, and even the smallest beasts lay waste to experienced adventurers.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
And first few books spend waaay too much much time recapping stats which gets very repetitive and breaks immersion.
Other than that, good story performed well. Definitely worth the listen.
Great story
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
What I likes:
* charactes are fun, especially Henry and a lot of other side characters
* romance is very well done - relationship devloped slowly, the girl stands besides MC in both power and will as an equal, not just a side character
* story/fight scenes are decent and doesn't drag
* story is finished with satifactory conclusion
What I don't like:
* it's not really a LitRPG - the RPG part are limited to an artifact provided by the school to estimate student's strength in numbers, but it's inaccurate, can be tempered with, and completely forgotten in later half of the book.
* MC doesn't learn a lot depite being in a college - the spells in this world takes a couple hours to learn, but requires many months of training to master, so MC only learned 5 spells in the whole book (ingoring his companion's abililties), and all of them belong to one of MC's elemental affinities (out of three) and are not very imaginative
* the academy setting itself is pretty much 24/7 non-stop training, not very exciting
* bad pacing near the end - stuff happened too sudden and too fast, and some of them doesn't make sense
