About this listen

Meddling gods. A magical card system. An apocalypse no one could have predicted.

Jake is working at the neighborhood market under his apartment when the world ends. He expected nuclear war, a computer virus, or even climate change burning everyone to a crisp to bring about the downfall of civilization. But cruel and arbitrary gods from another world? Who would have guessed that?

When these cruel gods shuffled Earth like a deck of cards, nothing was in the same place anymore. Monsters, dungeons, and magical items appear scattered across the globe. And suddenly, everyone has access to a new, strange magical card system that gives them magical powers.

Jake, wasting his day slacking off in the cooler, as he usually did, found himself alone in a completely new and very dangerous world. Can he learn to survive? Can he collect enough cards and create a good enough deck to fight back against the monsters that have overtaken his former home? And why are these strange people that look a lot like elves knocking on the door of the market he is hiding in and asking to buy some of his goods?

The gods may have stacked the deck against him, but Jake just might have a few cards up his sleeve that will help him survive.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

The narrator exaggerated voice is kinda cute. The story is very solid, it is moving and have substance. Progress are explained just enough without dominating the entire book. The MC, like most title on litrpg is not mature. There's no adult conversation in this book, and his approach on most thing are rather whimsical. But compared to the rest litrpg on this platform, i can safely say this is one of the best of its genre. Worth, every, penny.

Very Good

Honestly, I throughly enjoyed this book. Without any spoilers, the two halves of this book were incredibly different, but I enjoyed each half.

And the ending was a shock. I can’t really have no idea where the book will go from here!

A new take on Litrpg

I wasn't sure what to expect going into this one but ended up loving it. The story, characters and world are all engaging and things actually progress. Going straight into book 2 now for more.

Excellent.

Fans of LitRPG take note: this is and isn't traditional LitRPG.

it starts with a light amount of crunch with the card system, which returns at intervals through the story. however it branches away from this in some very unexpected ways, almost bordering cultivation novels at times

word of advice is to go into this story with 0 expectations. this isn't just a shop owner sim, it's not just an action novel, and it's not just an apocalypse novel. it's all of those things at different times

Not one story

Really enjoyed this, easy listening, fast moving story, and lots of twists keeping you interested. Travis is always a fantastic narrator of course.

Greta book, easy listen

first time I have listened to a book narrated by Travis and the last. prioritise ongoing projects - second and third books have a new narrator, who is great by not the same.
should have redone the whole series tbh. shame

great story, great author

Weirdly refreshing in a genre I enjoy, a genre that I feel holds back a lot. Jake F*cking says what most of us would in that situation.
I would’ve giving this story a go just because the plot sounded fun. I’ve enjoyed other books by same narrator that are becoming my favourites so that just made it a no brainier.
Great narrator and the story is quality and more laughs than I usually get from stories.

I f**king like Jake
