About this listen
Karna was just like any other comic book fan. He dreamed of fighting alongside colourful heroes and taking down dastardly villains.
In Titan Online, the most popular VR MMORPG going, he finally got the chance to live out his cape-donning fantasies.
That is, right up until he was killed by the game’s number one ‘hero’. A man who serves only himself in a constant grind for money, fame and adoration. Forced to start from scratch due the harsh game mechanics, Karna finds a new mission: bringing balance back to Titan Online.
With a strange new power and some unlikely allies, Karna hatches a plan to save the game and get a bit of revenge in the process.
When the heroes can’t be trusted, it’s up to the villains to save the (virtual) world.

This Book Is Absolutely Amazing

The writing is smooth and easy to listen to.
Unlike far too many LitRPGs this book delivers a complete story. No stupid cliffhanger endings. A goal is set. There's a climax and resolution along with a bit of seeding to suggest that the story can continue in future novels.
The narrator has a good voice, but I have to subtract a star due to the sound editing. A few times he repeats the same words or sentences 1-3 times like he's doing multiple takes, and forgot to delete the segments he'd already recorded.
Good

I like the superhero genre and equally the Gamelit one and so this marrying of the two sounded really interesting.
We have a player who feels he's been wronged by the number 1 hero in an MMORPG and makes it his ambition to bring him down. To this end he becomes a villain with an unusual skillset and begin's to build a powerbase with a hitherto unseen special power.
I was surprised by the way the author went with the MCs powerset as typically these books have a far more rambunctious style but this was a much more cerebral choice and made the book all the better for it.
Sure it's a little slow, and the action is more or a low-simmer than a heavy boil, but I quickly grew to like the cast and e joyed seeing how the MCs opinions of NPCs became quite blurred as the story progressed.
And the ending was very thrilling with a number of twists and turns I'd not expected and the ending that both drew a line under the story, but also left the world open to other perspectives was very good and I would be happy to revisit this game again so long as we retained the wonderful Adam Sims who did a sterling job with all the characters here.
Very recommended but understand that the MC is not a powerhouse and thus this is a slower, more intelligent game he's playing.
A pleasant surprise.
