About this listen
This isn’t my body! Time to ditch immortality and retire on the beach!
A young businessman dies, and in the process of crossing over, his soul accidentally drifts where it doesn’t belong. The new body he’s acquired? A 3,000-year-old vampire, charmingly named Vampir. The body he ends up in is handsome, rich, and has enough magic to level the new world. Of course, the whole package is slightly missing as his memory is a mess!
What will he find in this new world as he seeks a cure for his vampirism to finally live free? It’s mostly one nightmare after another really, but political intrigue, beautiful princesses and delightful demon dogs might just help him find the freedom he is looking for.

Even though the MC is originally an office worker , he doesn’t seem phased by accidentally brutally killing people. What’s more, other people don’t seem to be bothered by his legendary notoriety and brutality and they just seem to see him as just another undead, but even less of a threat to how most undead are viewed in other stories. He also has godlike powers and doesn’t really use them to their full extent, but it also means there’s not much progression in terms of starting off with no powers and gradually building up.
Relationships develop far too fast to be realistic, including love interests, but also the development of friendships, causing deep sentimentality. This all seems to have happened over about a couple of weeks and just left me very confused, as though I’ve somehow missed a huge chunk of the story. Of course, it is quite a short book and shorter than what I’m used to, so I suppose it’s not surprising that the author seems to have crammed everything in. Additionally, everything feels too simplistic and lacking detail, from world-building to character development and it feels very linear with no real plots twists.
Other issues with the story:
- why is dragon ball z always referenced in so many LitRPGs?
- huge amount of unnecessary swearing.
- updates for status/skills after every single scene (it’s already a short book, so it feels like the author’s trying to make up the word count).
- some further editing required e.g. “these guys were mostly low level guys” and uses the word “bought” instead or “brought” multiple times (unless this was just the narrator getting it wrong).
Narrator has conservative Received Pronunciation accent and sounds pretentious. His attempt at an American accent from the Deep South isn’t great and I struggled to understand what he was saying sometimes when trying this accent. The sound quality also sounds a bit echoey and slightly amateurish.
As the narrator is English, he gives almost all characters and English accent, but half way in the story the MC says for some reason he started speaking with an English accent. So, this really implies he wasn’t speaking with this accent for the whole of the first part of the book.
Not my bag.
