About this listen
Angus Bjornson only ever wanted to do one thing: to continue crafting exquisite weapons and pieces of armor for his loyal customers. Unfortunately, after one accident too many that leaves the old blacksmith completely disabled, it would seem he has no other choice but to hang up his hammer.
However, that would be underestimating the stubbornness of the self-made man. Fearing he's not going to stop until he ends up dead in his forge, Angus' children offer him a virtual rig that connects to Imperium Games' many universes.
After choosing a fantasy-based world called Alterwelt, Angus - now known as Hephaestus - quickly learns that he can make use of his lifetime of experience by disabling the auto function and playing on manual. His skills allow him to create unique items that beat everything sold on the market. But Hephaestus has a long way to go before he can afford his own in-game forge. Moreover, he only ever learned to work with steel while here he has access to metals as strange and exotic as azuraneum, veridium, orichalcum....

However it's also a extreme OP MC, that somehow is not only one of the worlds greatest blacksmiths, but also a highly trained martial artist.
Henry does a fine job and is good to listen to

simply delightful

Plus there were some other fun aspects, like the in universe quotes about the game.
The pace however, was a bit too slow for me at times. Several plot points that were clearly hinted at, were often also explained at length through dialogue between characters. Which I personally found a bit irritating.
The plot was fine, if a bit predictable at times.
Though I did feel like there were some inconsistencies in how the MC's first in game customer was described before and after one of the first conflicts.
Lastly, the narration was good. With nice pacing, distinct but consistent character voicing, and just sounded pleasant all round.
Fairly enjoyable

I really enjoyed this and I would have gave it 5 stars, except for the performance. While the performance wasn't bad, the narrator did remind me of an AI text to speech voice, granted I listen to books slightly sped up which may have contributed to this.
All in all I would recommend this book to litrpg fans :)
A nice underdog story

A good story

and the story and moralities that have been addressed has been the the best suprise by far in this book that got me pondering deep questions about virtual spaces and the possibilities.
