Damien was a simple man, cruising on the highway of life. A goddess of temptation lures him into a deal he scoffs at. Superstition is for the foolish. Small problem: She's real, her ritual works, and Damien is magically teleported into a strange new realm. Damien awakens in Nordan, a land of myth and magic.

Stranded, but not alone, will he perish, or conquer his way home?

I'm not sure how this has some many good reviews

You know that 25 year old virgin? The one who makes everything sexual and always steers the conversations to something perverted. yeah, that guy wrote this book. Don't believe me? give it a try.
The narrating is so awful. I made it 20 hours in, and I can't take it anymore. The story is weak, and the characters are hollow. The character arc is so obvious it might as well be in bold.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 2,685
Due to unusual circumstances, Randidly starts in an isolated dungeon far beyond his level, forced to rely on the mysterious Traveler Shal in order to learn and survive with the dangerous new status quo for his world. But survive he does, only to leave the dungeon and discover that while he experienced several hellish months in the dungeon, only half a day passed on Earth. Randidly's capabilities are now more than enough to help build a small enclave of survivors, but that doesn't mean balancing his sense of responsibility against the plots of an unfriendly town will be easy.

Almost identical to Deifance of the fall.
Reviewed: 02-20-22
I'm not sure which book came first. Each series is so identical I imagine them at different points of the same world.
Overpowered dungeon starter area. Check.
Extreme sense of responsibility. Check.
Rot/Decay powers. check.
Nexus coins. Check.
Inheritance skills. Check.
Origin fruits. Check.
Starter towns. Check.
Starter town with imps and monkys. Check.
Meditation/Cultivation. Check.
Alot of books have similar aspects, I understand that. However if you take the time to compare the two you can find way more similarities then I listed. These two series have more in common than not.
Except this main characters decision making is so flawed it hurts, it actually hurts. The author seems leary to delve deeper into Randidly's darker side. It might be character arc, or maybe he's scared of reader backlash for the disregard of life. Still worth a read if you're bored. My current 3 star rating is 10 hours into book 1. It might change if the MC decides to quit with the self righteousness that plagues He Who Fights With Monsters.

The writing is lacking variety with many phrases used so many times you can almost expect them, but the story is exactly what I was looking for in a litrpg. The story grows with the character becoming more complex and diverse as chapters fly by. A good read for any true gamer or lover of litrpg.

A dying story.
Reviewed: 01-01-22
Book 1 and 2 were very well written and gave alot of promise to the series. book 3 had ALOT of lazy writing which made it a weak addition and hard to finish. Book 4 leaks small political ideals of the writer I tend to hate in books. Small subtleties meant to make characters more complex with more depth, instead it makes them all seem too similar. Don't get me started on how the women in the books interact. There are only 2 personalities for female characters. Sophie, Anna, and Erica read so much alike you couldn't tell them apart with out the ending dialog.

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.

Not much depth or character ARC. MC always does the correct thing when and where is needed with cartoonish accuracy, makes for a boring read.

Not much exciting every happens, lazy writing plagues this book. I was hoping for a medieval action packed novel and recieved a delicate love story that bored me to death for 20 hours. Performance was great but, I couldn't get over the slow pace and flat climax of each book.

Not much changed from book one!
Reviewed: 12-16-20
The series continues to repeat itself with small changes. The two MC's get less and less of the spotlight. If you are someone who attaches to a MC like myself then this book may not be for you. Alot of white room scenes in the book describing very little of the world and characters. Author takes reducing data dumps to the extreme.

Erik knew one thing after dropping in, when he first saw the numbers before his eyes, the rumors about the "cursed" were true. He was in another world. Survival wasn’t assured. Cultivate, get skills, grow abilities, or die. His old life, as a combat medic, had been hard, but he had learned some valuable lessons. And he wasn’t alone. His best friend, a marine recon sniper, like always, was right by his side. Could they figure out this fantasy world? What does it mean to ascend? How will they master the magic of this strange place?

A new take on the genre that works very well. The world building isn't too in depth but just enough to keep you interested. Two solid main characters with great development. Off to read the second!
