Carter Ash wakes up with no memories in a virtual basic training. All the recruits will die within the next six weeks. Lucky for them, they’ve all got three lives.

He’s assigned to a squad with his goofy friend and another captivating cadet, Iris. They have to keep each other alive as long as possible because when they die, they get assigned their permanent character class. And everyone in the squad wants a valuable class, ideally the kind where you don’t get killed immediately.

Boot camp is just the start, because around the corner is a terrifying galaxy-wide war filled with dangerous and sultry aliens. Carter must figure out how to survive and thrive in the War Game.

The War Game: Basic Training is a LitRPG novel for discerning adults, featuring unconventional relationships.

Yeah I couldn't stop listening to this and now I'm definitely a fan of the author, honestly my only complaint would be how little spice there was but I get why that is but I hope there's way more on book two. the narration was amazing!

Awesome

I’m interested to see this game beyond the actual tutorial. A little starship troopers movie vibes crammed into a litrpg genre, and we have an interesting mix. Jus don’t be too shy with the pace I hope it picks up more in the sequels

Yeah that was pretty good

I feel like sometimes voice actors forget that people are listening to them with headphones. The male VA taking loud gasping breaths at the end of every sentence was unbearable to me. And then listening to him whisper during the only spicy scene was highly cringe. The female VA wasn’t much better. The accent she does for CJ was one of the worst accents I’ve ever had the displeasure of listening to. The story itself was solid, there were some cringe parts here and then but it was solid over all.

Solid story, VA’s were not for me.

I don't do many reviews, always have trouble you're out what to say most of the time. I will say this is a good book, it has a starship trooper vibe to it, without actually copying the whole formula. it is worth a credit, especially if you're just looking for something light to listen to and they give you a little bit of a laugh.

not bad for a weekend listen.
