Things are looking up for Jax, more or less. He's met a cool girl (who's a wisp), got some new friends (who're Dwarves and Cat people and Elves and all sorts), and started a war.... (Whoops!) Only thing is, they say an Englishman's home is his castle, and Jax's home is in ruins...this place isn't going to be any use in defending his new people unless he gets it sorted, and fast!

Story
Felix's life on Earth had become a series of dead-end jobs, ruined relationships, and rotating apartments smaller than most postage stamps. By all accounts, even his own, he was a coward. Too afraid to move forward, to take risks. Yet when given the chance to choose between risking his life or walking away from a deadly encounter, he didn't hesitate. Moments before his untimely demise, Felix was snatched from earth and thrust into a magical world known only as "The Continent". Empowered by the "System", he learns that he can strengthen himself through combat and dedication.

In a flash, every human-erected construction on Earth - from Buckingham Palace to the tiniest of sheds - collapses in a heap, sinking into the ground. The buildings and all the people inside have all been atomized and transformed into the dungeon: an 18-level labyrinth filled with traps, monsters, and loot.

His moment of heroism results in being torn away from everyone he knew and loved, kidnapped by an unknown force that leaves him with a note in his pocket stating: "Good luck." After being thrown into the wilderness of Elatra, a hostile fantasy world ruled by levels, stats, progression, and bizarre video game logic, he finds himself entirely out of his depth.

An inn is a place to rest, a place to talk and share stories, a place to find adventure, or a starting ground for quests and legends. It is in this world, at least. To Erin Solstice, an inn seems like a medieval relic from the past. But here she is, running from Goblins and trying to survive in a world full of monsters and magic. She’d be more excited about all of this if everything wasn’t trying to kill her. But an inn is what she’s found, and so that’s what she becomes; an innkeeper, who serves drinks to heroes and monsters. Mostly monsters. But it’s a living, right?

Publisher's Summary
A realm aside from our own is the center of the realities, home to every spectrum of magic. From the beautiful to the terrible, it was all held in delicate balance by the Eternal Emperor and his children. For 10,000 years, the empire was the bastion that protected the sentient races from the darkness, but the revolution changed all that....
Jax is a pretty regular guy, has a job he tolerates, a girl he kinda, sorta loves...and he fights creatures from the UnderVerse in his sleep, leaving him covered in horrific scars when he wakes up.
When his brother vanishes and five years later he's kidnapped as well, he's given a stark choice by his asshat of a father: Go to the UnderVerse in reality, travel to the capitol of that ruined realm at the center of reality, and open a portal for the Noble Houses to return home...or die.
Slowly.
That's the good news. The bad is that he has to survive the arena first, to prove his right to go. Twelve will enter, only one can leave....

Good Story, Terrible Narrative Performance
This book has a good story, it is very imaginative and while it has a few dead spots manages to draw in the reader. The Narration is horrible and may completely destroy the listener experience as it did mine. I would not recommend this book solely based on the narration.
I want to re-emphasize how badly this is narrated. This book should be re-recorded and released with a different narrator or narrative style. The accents the reader uses (PARTICULARLY THE PROTAGONIST CHARACTER’S) are infuriating to listen to and inconsistent. Random shouting, inconsistent cadence, and falling in and out of accent are behaviors littered across these hours of dialogue.
do not spend your money and credits on this production. Read the book to enjoy this solid story.

Why all the screaming?
Having a hard time getting past why the need to scream everything. Everyone single announcement for advancing or review of character the narrator has to yell. A lot of the interactions with other characters involve a lot of screaming and this makes this audio recording almost unbearable. Also, the harsh unimaginative accents of the characters are really poorly done.

Good story; distracting narration
I don't understand why the narrator chose to use every kind of frustrating or distracting voice in his arsenal all in one book. If they don't sound like they have a lisp, or talking through lock jaw, there is way too much very loud, bordering on screaming, during this book. I'm 1/4 of the way through the book and I'll update the rating when I've finished it.
Edit: A book of this length would normally take me 2 days to listen to. I had to rotate to different books while listening to this book. While it is a good book the narrator made it difficult to enjoy. The accent used and sitting of the announcements were very distracting.

Wayne Mitchell
Look, I really enjoy a lot of Wayne Mitchell's other performances, but I have to agree with other reviews that this one of his in particular is really hard to enjoy. It's a really big choice to make the non-native accent VO performer narrate for a character with an accent.
The accent itself isn't bad, but forcing anyone to do that for hours at a time is going to uncover some weak spots and inconsistencies, and it very much did that here.
Dropping in and out of the Australian into an awkward half British so often was incredibly distracting, to the point that it was hard to follow the story sometimes.
Narration aside, this book suffers from some of the worst tropes of the LitRPG genre, the most egregious offender being the overly sexualized and underdeveloped female characters that literally exist only to be sex objects and exposition dumps for the MC. It's incredibly hard to listen to the MC interact with these 2D caricatures without rolling my eyes at the absurd dialogue.
To a lesser degree, but still distracting and disappointing is the idiot edgelord MC that simply *must* constantly and consistently act contrary to every character around him, even when it doesn't make sense with the plot, or advance the devopment of a character, or really serve any purpose whatsoever that I can discern aside from making the MC come off like an emotionally stunted teenager with no self control.
Minor gripe, but still worth mentioning: The one Asian character is described as speaking mandarin (a Chinese language) yet refers to the MC as gaijin on a few occasions, which is a Japanese word for foreigner (meaning it doesn't make any sense in context of the story *or* coming from that character). Typically, it's a good idea to actually know a thing or two about cultures and people you plan on including in your work.
I can say without hesitation that continuing this series would frustrate me to no end. I don't think I will, which is a shame since I enjoy the concept at least. The execution, however, is lacking.

Unintelligible
An American attempting a HORRIBLE cockney accent for 20 hours. Had it been only the dialogue it would have been acceptable but for some reason the narrator felt like the audience would enjoy the sound of him butchering the English language for the entirety of the book. It sounds like someone watched two seasons of the Peaky Blinders and thought they’d try imitating Tom Hardy’s character, poorly.

Really good
The story is really good m.c. can be a bit dumb some times especially when he doesn't remember or intelligently utilize his own abilities, it gets pretty frustrating. For example using your spell that's specifically for killing undead one time through multiple battles with undead over several days, after noting to himself how effective it was was particular frustrating. I actually like the narration, accent and all. I do agree with all the other reviews that the system narration is a bit obnoxious, it quite literally sounds like a used car salesman during a commercial and it really doesn't fit with the tone of the other characters and voices. However everything else is good enough I was definitely willing to overlook it.

Ok story. Bad lit rpg
Frustrating MC that oscillates between blushing virgin, nieve fool, and possessive blood thirsty manic with anger management issues.
Hit points and levels don't seem to matter. Neither does class choices for that matter. And don't get me started on female representation. Even for this genre, it was fucking awful.

Great Book, Great Main Character,
I stumbled across this book on LITRPG Aleron Kong page and inquired about it! I spoke to Jez Cajiao (sound bloke) and decided to give it a whirl!! Instantly I was hooked, the pace of the book is spot on with plenty of action, the main Character Jax is great and I took to him straight away. It has plenty of funny quirky parts also and the narrator Wayne Mitchell does a Stella job!!
All in all an excellent read and recommend a journey to the underverse I for one am looking forward to book 3 and many more to come, keep up the great work lads and don’t be a DICK👏😂

Smeagol and C**kgoblins
Honestly as first I wasn't particularly fond of the rough voice but I must say the voice actor is incredibly skilled, at one point I had to double he didn't play smeagol for one of the voices and it just feels like the character has actually lived in out world with quick funny witty insults and lines like c**kgoblin the story seems slow but suddenly picks up pace in intermittent shorts, it's a great listen a great story and the perfect voice actor for the characters

Entertaining but not stand out
It’s a fairly standard affair straddling darker themes and humour with the ole fashioned good vs evil.
Constant reinforcement of good and all that is righteous encompassed in a tuff gritty yobo. It’s all a bit much for me but it’s what I tend to think the masses love. Personally, I like it much more Grimdark.
The narration took some getting used to. The harem theme undertones I don’t mind but I found this was very teenage and slapstick. If your gonna do it, make it grown up. Not to say the story really needs it.
There’s lots to like tho. The levelling, battles , base building are good. The overall story does seem very interesting and it’s only at the beginning.
Will listen to part 2 (at some point) but not a huge priority.

Pretty darn good
Story is great overall, worth the listen. Only issues are that they could do with summarising the monster kills and some of the litrpg elements. Also the narrator was difficult to get into due to the weird aussie/brit accent attempt for thr mc, that said, it was still great fun and he nailed all the other characters.

One of the best
Sure it has enough litrpg to satisfy those that love it . But it doesn't interfere with what is a very good fantasy story . Well worth a credit and a listen

Terrible accents and narration but a good story
Can’t help but wonder this would be a great series if they had a better narrator.

900 dolarry doos?!?
good story line fairly unique, but the bootleg aussie accent was killing me. No offence to the narrator but it sounded like the main character was Russell crowe from south park. Making movies singing songs and fighting round the world.

Needs a new narrator
Love the story, the characters;everything. Couldn’t listen past the first 2 chapters due to the narrator.
There was no clear intonation of words causing them to sound slurred and difficult to interpret and there was a very thick fake accent applied to the main charter which made all of this much worse.
Way better reading experience than a listening one unfortunately. If in the future it gets re-recorded with a new narrator it would be much higher rated.

Great story line but.......
Would love to give more stars, but....
The story line is great, I loved the entire concept.. Plenty of action and wasn't inundated with stats every 3 pages as some of these LitRPG books can have.. However, the narration is absolutely abhorrent.. The accents are horrendous, I am barely invested in continuing with the series only because the narration is so bad.. Old mate is better off sticking to acting on film and leave the voice acting to the professionals. Can't help but wonder how awesome this series would be if someone like Nick Podehl or Jeff Hays did the narration..

Very interesting
This story is a unique take on an increasingly stale genre. I was horrified at the new perspective I was drowned by in the beginning, but I very quickly grew to enjoy the main character and the narration. While the storyline is not unlike other stories I've listened to, the mc and narration is very new to me. I imagine it's difficult to portray uncouth with eloquence, however Wayne Mitchell performs it well.

may be the worst audio I have heard
Not a bad book but the audio was terrible. the accent was all over the place. I thought cockney to start with but some others speculated Steve Irwin style Aussie but whatever the intention it was nothing I could identify. The worst was any action scene that lacked any tempo or shades in the delivery. The narrator went to fever pitch immediately and held it there for the duration. I found myself turning it off and reading these passages.
I listen to a lot of audiobooks as I work and think this is the worst audio I have heard.

Too much stats
Great story. Would be 5 stars but like a lot of books in this genre, there is too much stat reading. A bit is ok but when you have ro skip 5mins to get through it, that's way too much. Also the voice of Oracle just reminds me of zoolander and that is just not right for someone who should be a little hottie with a sultry voice.

Simply incredible.
This series is absolutely a must. The performance of Wayne Mitchell is brutal in all the best ways - my first time exposed to his brilliance. This series delivers across the board. Keen to re-listen. Thanks

Under rated Preformance
Story and pace is great for a first entry.
Narrator captures the simple minded brute of an MC. The shouting aspect of the system that appears and demands attention when it pops up.His range is quite good.
Alot of reviews focus on the accent with a preconceived idea of how it should be, a British smooth clear voice, but given the context of what the MC is, the narrator takes it a step further. Something you don't usually get and he is consistent with it.
