Story
In a world full of super powers, Felix had a pretty crappy one. After learning to harness his ability to modify any item he owns, he now runs a corporation that is rapidly expanding - Legion. After tangling with the local Heroes guild they’ve finally settled into a semblance of stability. Sounds great on paper. Run your company, make money, be your own boss, settle down. Except that with running a business, comes an inordinate amount of responsibilities. Like making sure everything keeps running and your people are paid.

Story
Runner has a problem. He and 499,000 men and women are trapped in a game. He also just happens to be the only person from IT who could log everyone out safely. And he doesn't remember his password. He, like everyone else in this nightmare, had his memory scrambled or lost in the process of being loaded into the game. A single garbled message is his only clue to how to save everyone. The problem is that whoever loaded them into the game loaded their minds completely.

Story
In The Waste, every fantasy creature, fairytale demon, or mythological monster exists. From orcs, to neriads, ogres, trolls, wraiths, elves, harpies, and even beastmen. They all exist, and all despise humankind. In the ruins of the west and east coasts, new governments have arisen. With new jobs. Vince is a Ranger, a profession whose sole job duty is surviving in the waste, and taking missions from the Ranger Guild. Be it courier services, escorts, or simply exploring tombs and cities.

Story
An existence spent being forced to kill others to satiate a Monster. Where the only thing to look forward to was the blessed, if brief, period of time between paying that bribe. Except that very same Monster is and isn’t Rene. It just happened to live inside his own mind and force him to do what it wanted. Rather than being an actual Monster. That was Rene’s entire life until a fateful day changed that. A day that the career as a hitman for hire built on the Monster’s needs will end. Where Rene will be forced to atone for his actions. To be held accountable and judged.

It’s not easy making the career jump from office-supplies-store middle manager to heroic interdimensional adventurer. At least, Jason tries to be heroic, but it's hard to be good when all your powers are evil. He’ll face off against cannibals, cultists, wizards, monsters...and that’s just on the first day. He’s going to need courage, he’s going to need wit, and he’s going to need some magic powers of his own. But first, he’s going to need pants.

A man. His ex-girlfriend's cat. A sadistic game show unlike anything in the universe: a dungeon crawl where survival depends on killing your prey in the most entertaining way possible. 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.

Ryker only has one goal in his life right now: Turn a certain adventuring guild into a flaming wreck while dancing merrily through the smoldering ruins. All for the chance to get back at a handful of people. It isn’t as if they didn’t deserve it either. They had driven him from his home. Chased him physically from the very guild house itself. Simply because he wasn’t as strong as they expected him to be. As strong as he’d expected himself to be. He’d returned the next day and left with something he’d hidden away and told no one about when he found it in one of his few Dungeon Dives.

Reports to write, forms to fill, coffee to drink, leads to run down. Gus’s life was a tedium and boredom he’d grown comfortable with. One that he sought out after he’d come back from his tour of duty. A detective in the paranormal investigations department. A job he could work day in and day out in relative peace. One cold and forgotten cup of coffee at a time. It was an environment that made some sense to him. At least in comparison to civilian life where almost nothing did. On top of that, it gave him a chance to hide what he was from the rest of the world.

Warner spent his days like almost anyone else. He got up, went to work, answered phone calls in a call center, went home, spent time with his daughter, and went to sleep. Only to repeat the pattern over and over and over. Life was as mundane as anyone could ever fear it to be. Today was the day that all that would change. On this day, his daughter Maya would be nearly fatally injured, plunging Warner into a world of paranormal creatures, monsters, and magic he’d never known existed. The only consolation is that he discovers he’s not quite human, either.

Sameerixis, or Sam for those who actually know him, isn’t what you’d call normal. He’s a door-to-door salesman, of sorts. One that peddles wares, wishes, and whims to anyone willing to pay his prices. Prices that usually involve a few years of your life, maybe a handful of days, or a single night of pleasure that’ll cost a few hours. He’s an incubus that solves problems. Mental, emotional, spiritual, material, and anything and everything in between. Sam can provide an answer and resolution.

Steve doesn’t know who he is. Or who he was. He doesn’t know anything, actually. Not even where he is. Other than a vast open field of dirt. All Steve knows is that he’s apparently supposed to build a farm. At least that’s his only workable assumption. Given the number of farm-tools left to him. That and the massive number of sacks full of seeds. Unfortunately, this isn’t even the strangest part of this new life. Hidden inside the farm tools, Steve finds messages. Messages that appear in floating windows in front of him.

Henry and Jason led normal lives in Seattle before they were abducted to another world.

Luckily, Henry and Jason studied Historical European Martial Arts (HEMA) on Earth. Unfortunately, a Japanese American EMT and a geeky IT programmer don't have many other useful skills on a sword-and-sorcery world like Ludus.

Publisher's Summary
In a world full of super powers, Felix has a pretty crappy one.
He has the ability to modify any item he owns. To upgrade anything.
Sounds great on paper. Almost like a video game.
Except that the amount of power it takes to actually change, modify, or upgrade anything worthwhile is beyond his abilities.
With that in mind, Felix settled into a normal life. A normal job.
His entire world changes when the city he lives in is taken over by a super villain. Becoming a country of one city. A city state.
Surprisingly, not a whole lot changed. Politicians were still corrupt. Banks still held onto your money. And criminals still committed crime.
Though the black market has become more readily available.
And in that not-so-black market, Felix discovers he has a way to make his power useful after all, and grasps a hold of his chance with both hands.
Warning and minor spoiler: This novel contains graphic violence, undefined relationships/partial harem, unconventional opinions/beliefs, and a hero who is as tactful as a dog at a cat show. Listen at your own risk.

Great story but please stop with the numbers
A good original story, but I have to admit I always zoned out when the narrator went over the points spent / received totals like every 10 minutes. It wouldn't be bad if it was just a few times but my god he does it like ever 10 minutes (sometimes more then once) and it lasts at least a minute a go. Its all numbers at that point. Maybe try to cut it down or just go over the highlights and not read through every character each time.

Lot better than I thought it would be
I was looking at the reviews for this and really didn't think I would like it. Yeah it had a decent rateing but everyone was saying it was a bunch of wish fufillment harem sillyness. I thought I had run into some big new YA novel popular with younger folks or possibly that someone had paid for some good reviews. But I was in a hurry to get something before I had to hit the road and figured why not.
Really glad I did. It is a bunch of wish fufillment harem sillyness but is also well written. The characters are fun and grow well with the story. Paceing is spot on. I expected a lot of cringeworthy writing that never materierized.
it's not perfect. the points stuff is annoying and probably works better in the written form. And there are some issues with nonsensical plot points and characters occasionally behaving out of character. But overall it was a very pleasant surprise.

Great reading, sleazy story
Many of the characters are good, but the world built by the author makes everything sleazy.
It breaks it's own rules so that the male lead can be surrounded by slave women, and murder anyone he doesn't like.
It starts off saying super heroes/heroines are captured, beaten, and then sold. Except only one slave is a hero out of dozens. Never explaining why a super villian city is only selling super villains as slaves. Also, despite there being no gain for the villain to buy only women as slaves, he does exactly that. there is seriously no males as side characters at all, only minor inconveniences.
The main character says that his slaves are not for sex, but it feels like the author wished they could be. the whole thing plays out like a soft core fan fiction/anime hentai. If that's what you want I'm not judging, but if you want a good story, keep walking.

Interesting Premise but Rough Going
The basic premise behind the story has promise: In a world of superheroes, a man has the ability to modify just about anything but no "power" to utilize it. When he accidentally purchases some slaves, he learns that owning them boosting his own power. From there he tries to balance ethics against his building power. Naturally, his growing empire attracts attention...
In actual execution, the book is very uneven. The main character, Felix, is the definition of a Mary Sue. His slaves (though nominally free-willed as he doesn't ever really command them) all give him doe-eyes throughout the book. All his ideas work out swimmingly until the inevitable Second Act Crash and someone who was previously a fast food manager slips effortlessly into being essentially a major CEO. The writing is very repetitious. You'll get about 150 variants of this:
Felix: We should think of a solution
Slave: What if we did XYZ?
Felix: That's great. Remind me to reward you later.
Slave: Awwww... *Doe-Eyes*
The characters are pretty decent although they seem to slip out of character multiple times. The world building and super powers are interesting. The concept of Felix seeing everyone as a Role-Playing Game character sheet is interesting as well although it leads to plodding sequences in the audio version of the sheets being read over and over. That probably works better on paper where the reader can skim it instead of listening to it. This isn't the only book to suffer from that either: Looking at you here, "Ready Player One" scoreboards. Some plot lines or important points in the story get dropped without mention.
There is the whole harem thing although that didn't bother me so much as the uneven writing. Half the book is his core trio of women practically throwing themselves at him while he nobly declines and tells them all how wonderful they are so, while cheesy, it's not something that would bother me like the possible alternative.
The reading was pretty good. Character voices were distinctive and the male narrator did well with a largely female cast of characters. Effects are used for things like multiple people speaking at once, PA systems or internal monologues. I already mentioned the tedious readings of the character sheets but that's not on the narrator.
Would I recommend it? Maybe hesitantly. The basic story and world was interesting enough that I'm considering the next book just to see where the story goes but the overall experience keeps me from enthusiastically jumping in.

wanted to like this!!
I think if I read it as a book, seeing the stats rather than being read them, I would enjoy it, but it just made boring patches that I ended up just skipping through. I also didn't care for the ending. I really liked the characters, though so it wasn't a total loss.

Pancakes!
This story is like a food you like that never fills you up.
There is very little plot here, it is mostly a progression of events that ends abruptly and without developing into much of a story. That said, I enjoyed listening to it, but if you're looking for a meaningful story you'll have to look somewhere else.
The spreadsheets were a bit much for a narrative medium, but probably okay in written form.

Main Character has a Furry sex slave
If this is what you are looking for, look no further for a "nerd" who ends up purchasing women at auction and "reluctantly" having sex with them (the furry can make multiples) aside from at least 2 others who are in love with him as their owner. Then this is the book for you. I completed the first book and started the 2nd and finally had to just drop the entire project.
The writing itself is fine and the performance is excellent, but the book had a real creepy vibe for me regarding owning women as slaves who all desperately want to have sex with the main character.
Not for me.

So Much to Like!
Great book! Highly enjoyed the humor, action, and creativity. The amount of attention people give to a book is 90% dependent on how well the reader is attracted to the characters, and I gotta say, I loved all the main characters in this book. That was helped by Jeff Hays who did an absolutely incredible job bringing them to life in his narration. (Probably one of the best I've heard on Audible). It's a great story, with fun characters that's hard to put down.
Now I judge books on three criteria, and this book scored bigtime on entertainment value and writing style. The final criteria is profoundness (does it move me or change my perception of the world), and unfortunately SSonSH fell a bit short in this category. Hence 4 out of 5 stars. But, it's still a great book worth every bit of the credit I used to buy it. I think you should buy it too!

Harem Anime in Book Form
This story was bearable for the first half, but the main character had no depth or struggle. It felt like a self obsessed teen wrote it. The main character is incredibly shallow, with no real personality or morals.
Skip it unless you're really into harem animes, which is exactly what this is.

Awesome listen!
Wonderful start to a potentially amazing series! The only part of this I disliked was the frequency of one aspect. The point counting. Needed in some spots but, honestly a couple times could have just been summed up with total/spent/remaining and it would have been fine.
Other than that I loved it! 12 hour book that I finished in less than 24 hours. I unfortunately had to stop listening to sleep.
Typically I dislike stories with harem aspect because they come off cheesey, creepy or otherwise lecherous. Arand managed to pull it off tastefully and it didn't bother me at all.
Have already suggested this book to several friends that are comic book fans, and will do so again.

Not for me
I started off loving this book, but the protagonist quickly becomes an unlikable sociopath (just wait until the sausage machine and his use of lily's power on people) and the story never seems to get off the ground. There are also long and repetitive sections where character stats are read out and they seem to go on forever, as well as sections where seemingly large problems are easily dealt with offscreen and just handwaved away.
On the plus side, the writing itself is actually pretty good, and the narrator is fantastic, bringing all the characters he voices to life and having an impressive range. I can really see how the book is getting praise from other reviewers, but the behavior of the protagonist in general and the complete lack of story direction just leave a bad taste in my mouth. If you can get past this you'll probably enjoy it though.

So bad it's good.
I wouldn't recommend this to my friends because it is a bit of an odd one but if you haven't been dissuaded by the title then it might be for you.
The voice acting is pretty decent even if the main character's voice is a bit whiny.
This is like all of the worst elements of fanfiction bundles together into a surprisingly passable story: Harem of hot female slaves, one nerd in charge, money and resources seemingly endless, far to long spent on the beginning and little on the middle or end, mythological characters, no real challenges.
The book is kind of funny and you do end up supporting and routing for the characters which is nice. It definitely picks up in the last two hours when the protagonists face challenges that they can't immediately overcome. The conclusion is unsatisfying though as the motives of the antagonists remain a mystery (to me at least).
I did vaguely enjoy this, even more than some others I've listened to recently, but I won't be listening to book 2. I fear it'd be much of the same.
If liked this try confessions of a D-List Supervillian by Jim Bernheimer.

Great fun story with one incredible narrator.
Only negative point was the Stat repetition but even the protagonist complains about it later in the story :)

fantastic from mr Arand comes another different take on alternate earths and this just ponders what makes a superhero is it nature or nurture are we born bad or good do the people and places we grow up in makes us that way, can not wait to read the next in the series to find what happens to felix and where he fits into the universe of books .

an interesting premise, with a lot of fun moments.
Jeff Hays is always a pleasure to listen to no matter the auido book and this one is no exception.
the concept of the story is good but I think it snowballs very quietly, but the story doesn't suffer from it.
the power the main character uses is over powered , I thought it was somewhat balanced until one scene. that being said if you have listened to the authors other works there is a theory that makes sense of it.
so recap good book , likeable characters , plenty of action and clever problem solving.

THE. MOST. ENTERTAINING. PERFORMANCE. EVER!!!
I’ve listened to more than 85 books so far, but none was more entertaining than the performance given in this book. The use of multiple voices speaking in unison, radio effects, and distinctive character portrayal made this already great story even better.

suprisingly good
This book reminds me of a game. the narrator is kind of annoying at the start. but realised after a while it's to emphasize how nerdy he is. after a while it slowly stop, or you get use to it. it's a unique story that I havent been exposed to. I'm looking forward to the next book

A bit of fun as a standalone modern trash fantasy
If, like me, you came here for a 'Everybody Loves Large Chests' fix, this will be your bandaid. It's fun, doesn't take itself seriously, and Jeff narrates well as always. The story has flaws, but the characters and narration mostly make up for it. However, Jeff ONLY narrates the first book. It doesn't really leave you hanging though, so you can easily enough listen to this book and then move on, not needing to finish the series.

Interesting & Entertaining
I don't think I've ever listened to a story about the rise of a fast food worker into a magnanimous slave owner / super villain.
Definitely a fun listen even if it was just a huge power fantasy.

Pancakes!
This trilogy is by far my favourite from William D Arrand with some truly spectacular characters, an intriguing story and a wealth of emotion that has had me laughing, crying and shouting in equal measure. Jeff Hays performance is as always impeccable.

Dark and Quirky
The story is quirky and fun. The characters seem to enjoy existing in a sort of moral limbo and everyone has an agenda. Looking forward to listening to the next one.
