About this listen

Disillusioned businessman, John Lawrence Locke, finds himself summoned as a hero to another world, filled with monsters and magic! With his body reverted to the age of 15, the 33-year-old's mind is filled with the possibility of battles and adventures, like the ones in his favorite video games.

Unfortunately for him, life isn't always so convenient. Betrayed by the very people who summoned him, he's condemned as the False Hero and forced to flee for his life. Alone in an unfamiliar world and hunted by all of humanity, he takes on the alias of Lutz and uses his gaming knowledge to quickly adapt to the world's strangely game-like mechanics.

Bad voice actor

Author writes like a middle schooler, the story is more or less Shield Hero, narrator mispronounces an annoying amount of words, as the tag says not bad but certainly not good, don't feel put out as it's a box set.

not bad not good

the story is ok, but the narrator must be new or something. most if not all the characters sound the same. i think there are only two voices, men n women.

Also, the man character forgives the princess way too easy and gives up all his secrets.

poor narrator

The story is alright, it's easy to follow and engaging enough. I've seen comparisons to the Shield Hero about similarities in the story line, but I found the Shield Hero rather boring personally.

The narration on the other hand is quite poor. I do wonder if said narrator ever read this ahead in the story before starting their recording. Borne seems to insert pauses randomly and emphasizes the wrong words mid sentence. Weirdly, spoken dialogue is fine but when moving from dialogue to narration things go wrong. Borne is over acting which hits the pacing and Immersion.

Okay story, poor narration.

Bearable enough though, so if you want some litrpg stuff, then give it a listen.
