About this listen
Richard Royal has a hard life.
He lives in a corrupt, church-controlled dystopia, his family is soon broken, and the only joy to be had comes from the escapism of his full-immersion gaming.
Introduced to a new and very illegal game, he finds himself in the body of a dragon, on a quest to find a dark and evil power to serve. But the game is more than it seems, and the dragon is more than a beast. Soon Rich's life is far, far more complicated than he ever expected. And the threats against him grow, both in-game and in realspace.
There is no path that will not lead to blasphemy. And the dark secrets revealed will change two worlds, before all is done....
A new litrpg saga, set in Threadbare's world of Generica Online.
©2019 Andrew Seiple (P)2020 Podium AudioSeiple often writes story that are more than 'just' a fantasy, but this one is maybe more so than others.
The story 'outside' of the online world takes on much more than I thought, and initially it bugged me. The protagonist is pretty young and not at all in any sort of position of power. The story is not at all about a 'power fantasy', but the story is better for it overall.
The only minor annoyances are that the MC (and the reader along with it) has almost no agency is the story and that the interesting quirks of the fantasy world are not explore in this book (maybe in following books).
Far more than a power fantasy

What I didn't like so far is that the story is a bit hard to follow, I'm not sure if it's the narrator's fault or the story itself. I feel like I'm reading the book myself (sometimes I have to read a phrase 2, or 3 times to understand). The sound effects ex "slap" that the narrator is trying to reproduce sounds very cheap and breaks the magic. It's kind of frustrating that the Mc doesn't know about what happens with his in-game character when he is offline and neither his companion who is supposed to be intelligent; doesn't say a thing about that after so much time. The fact that the Mc change bodies with his in-game character A.I. seem a pretty dumb idea in this context.
This story is very close to a novel I know about a human who is reincarnated as a monster and fights with other monsters in order to level up and survive. If I put this story ( at least the first book ) with that one I can see what's missing.. there's a lot of description but when it comes to actions, it's laking. The Mc is a dragon in a world where dragons are supposed to have many slaves, but the author fails to translate the might, the emotion, and the way in which other characters (A.I) respond in relation to the Mc.
I'm happy I didn't have to buy the first book, but even so, I might try the next book hoping that the story will be more clear/interesting.
Interesting but nothing exceptional
