Solid series with good natation

Not sure when Dax Sheppard got into being an audible narrator i thought he was going good as an actor and producer.

a decent listen

overall a decent story, though pretty predictable. I found the climax underwhelming, but overall worth a listen

Story is nice, narrator is flavorless ** UPDATED**

I had trouble getting into this book because the narrator voice was bland, without emotions.

I've read a lot of LitRPG in the last year and while the story is good and picks up at the last 3 hours I've found myself drifting at times because I was not engaged.

**UPDATE**
I've left the original review as a reminder to shut my mouth sometimes!
I've listened to the entire serie and honestly, it could have gone indefinitely. While I had my gripe with the tone of the narrator, I've grown to like it and love it. VGO is really a masterpiece that keeps on giving with a lot to go about.

Great story and an even greater talented Narrator

The story is full of twists and turns and a real fun MMO adventure that anyone whose played an MMO will understand, just a warning: its gonna give you the itch to play!! Armen Taylor is the biggest surprise of the whole experience. His voice, accents and performance is stellar. I have rarely heard a narrator with as fantastic a grasp on so many different accents and voices, truly a treat!

James hunter can predict the future

World in chaos people stealing toilet paper sounds a lot like the last few years no ? (I’m not very far in yet)

alright alright!

This is a solid litrpg. I've listened to almost all the best ones. Not a huge fan of books under 10 or 12 hours, but now that I can listen to a bunch for free in fully in. Gonna start the next one rn. o/

Great series opener

This book is only available free until Dec 14 2023, unless they add it again. Listen to it now while you still can! (it's a long series, save your credits while you can.) FYI, the rest of the series is currently available on Kindle Unlimited if you don't want to commit to all those credits.)
I really enjoyed this book. Note, in my opinion, the very start of the book didn't hook me immediately. I had started it in Kindle, then put it down, then picked it up again as a free library option in Audible. So I recommend giving it a bit of time if you're not sure. 
I don't usually like LitRPGs where the characters are actually just in a virtual world. This one shifts it a bit because the characters are dead in the real world. The real world itself is dead. So the virtual world is real. And you respawn when you die, so you're stuck there even if things get really, really bad. This twist shifted my perception enough that the stakes were real. Not just points on a leaderboard of a game the characters can leave. The NPCs are also almost real. So the stakes of actions are realer because of that.
The interesting twist in this book is that there's more intrigue and politics than I'd seen in a LitRPG before. The enemy is other humans, doing human things that they've carried over from the real world. The power brokers and elites of our world aren't going to give up power just because it's a new world. And it feels real.
The book is written from the POV of the main character of GrimJack. (originally Jack Mitchell but not for very long.) He's a gamer, so this isn't a big jump in worldview for him. But his perception of what is real and realization of the stakes sinks in over this book.This is fun, and good setup for a series.
There are stats, but they don't go on and on. It's enough to get the meaning, but you aren't listening for minutes at a time.
There's a sense of completion of this part of the adventure. But it's clearly the beginning of the adventure. Which is good  for book 1 of a series.  As of writing this, I'm listening to book 3.

A 99% good listen.

I truly enjoy GameLit stories and this one is good. No heavy handed repetition of stats and a good narator. My only disappointment was the last chapter.

*SEMI-SPOILER ALERT*
I despise any story where the main character is written as a stupid fool and the reactions of Jack in the final chapter did not seem to follow what was shown of his intelect earlier. Maybe that's just my own bias as the reader/listener but I found it out of character for him.
