Grab your sword and get ready to level up.

The only way out is through.

Unbeknownst to him, Ray is about to partake on an adventure filled with magical beasts, warring factions, and a leveling-up system out of this world. He'll encounter filthy bandits, musty crypts, and friendly werewolves. Oh, you heard us right.

If only he wasn't given negative charisma points around women, he might have a chance, but you can't win them all.

When the only way out of the game may be through, you fight like your life depends on it. Because it just may. Survival means victory, and defeat could mean the end—forever.

Note from the authors: This one's for the underdogs out there. For lovers of adventure, the dice rollers of chaos, and the unapologetic gamers. We can't promise it'll be safe, but we can promise you're in for one great journey.

The narrators voice rises after every three or four words and at the end of every sentence. I couldn't finish because it was driving me crazy. Seemed like a good book but can't listen anymore.

Terrible Narrator

Wasn't sure if I was going to enjoy at first, but after the first chapter things start to pick up and before I knew it it was over. Grabbing book two because I want to find out what happens next.

Enjoyed it, moving on to book two.

Very predictable story line and plot. I knew the bad guy from the beginning of the story.

In all honesty, I started this book with some low expectations after reading a couple negative reviews. but, it was a free audible and oh boy did I enjoy this.

This book, Legend Online Genesis: A LitRPG; is a tale about the protagonist Roy, who is a modern day gamer beginning with a large online following and finds himself in a complete immersion virtual reality with no exit in sight. And yes I know this sounds like Sword Art Online (SAO), Ready Player One, etc... but for me, I don’t mind how you get to the place, it’s about how the story unfolds from there and that’s exactly how this book got me.

The development of the characters was solid and I found the battle scenes to be well written offering descriptions and completely plausible (in a game setting) actions to pass each trial. I did cringe a couple times, but even then this is an emotion that I feel was intentionally invoked and served it’s purpose to put you in Roy’s boots.

This is not a typical OP (overpowered) Story where Roy blasts away faces and gets all the women and gold. It’s about love, betrayal, loot, loyalty and honor; there were so many emotions I was put through from Laughter to Solidarity in the losses in this tale it left me a reminiscent feeling just like a RolePlaying Game (RPG) I played.

I would encourage anyone who enjoys the LitRPG series, Fantasies or just wants to embark on a tale where a stereotypical gamer with all of the quirks finds his way to the glory we (gamers) seek.

Negatives: I suppose there were some inconsistencies and unanswered questions left around the beginning of the book and other parts which fell to the side as Roy moved on to each new quest. But again these things were to be expected for me, there are only so many twists you can add before it becomes repeated.

Thank you to the writers; Jonathan Yanez & Ross Buzzell can’t wait to dig into Book 2

Overall, I have to say that I enjoyed the the book, it's a fun and simple story. I like the characters and the story is very well structured. However the writing style leaves some to be desired. I'm sure the author is trying to be funny and relate to the demographic that enjoys these types of novels but the real world references break immersion in the story, especially during point of tension.

A hidden flawed gem
