Story5 out of 5 stars 337
Seventeen-year-old Hajime Nagumo is your average, everyday otaku. However, his simple life of pulling all-nighters and sleeping in school is suddenly turned upside down when he, along with the rest of his class, is summoned to a fantasy world! They're treated like heroes and tasked with the duty of saving the human race from utter extinction. But what should have been any otaku's wet dream quickly turns into Hajime's nightmare. While the rest of his class are blessed with godlike powers, Hajime's job, Synergist, only has a single transmutation skill.

Enjoyable story kept me engaged with the book
Reviewed: 05-24-24
Overall this is an excellent book that I found quite enjoyable.
My only critique is that I think the male and female narrators should take turns with general narration dependent upon story situation. Also the male narrator to narrate male parts for the entire book, as well as the same for the female narrator.
The performance of both narrators I found to be very engaging and kept me wanting to continue listening even when I had to stop.
I look forward to more books of the series becoming available on audible.

Drew and his team are the entire counter-offensive plan against the Naga. He knows that the serpents must be dealt with, but watching the Sidhe forces take the nodes near his old home, and turn them violet, is weighing on him. Even worse than the external threat is that the gathered humans are beginning to fracture into factions with competing desires. Drew’s only possible response to the humans, the aliens, and the strange, urban jungle appearing across the Potomac is to increase the count of his own red nodes and build up his strength; all in a race to save humanity.

When Pyresouls released, it was a brutal new virtual reality game with a twist: The first to beat the game would win billions of dollars. But after the Burgon Beast couldn’t be defeated, Pyresouls turned very real and unleashed an apocalypse of undead, monsters, and a system of levels and stats onto the world. For many years since, Jacob Windsor has fought with sword and shield to survive Post-Collapse Earth where only ancient, guilt-soaked weaponry can harm the monsters from Pyresouls.

Ree Reyes’s life was easier when all she had to worry about was scraping together tips from her gig as a barista and comic shop slave to pursue her ambitions as a screenwriter. When a scruffy-looking guy storms into the shop looking for a comic like his life depends on it, Ree writes it off as just another day in the land of the geeks. Until a gigantic “BOOM!” echoes from the alley a minute later, and Ree follows the rabbit hole down into her town’s magical flip-side.

A potentially entertaining story
Reviewed: 12-09-20
While the story had potential to be a good read or listen it fell flat.
The narration could have been better the timing and choice of inflection I found to be jarring for me.
As for the story the author took a potentially flexible and interesting idea and fell flat. I have listened to and read many books, yet the character development is just painful to listen through.

Reviewed: 09-15-20
I have yet to finish the book and I am already looking forward to the next book.
I read in the description that there wouldn't be as anymore books in the foreseeable future. I urge Cosimo Yap to bring this series up on your priority list.
I am enjoying the story with it's ups and downs, as well as the performance by Nick Podehl whom I have enjoyed listening to with other series. As long as Cosimo puts their storytelling skills and their love of this Universe together as they have been I'm confident many people will continue to enjoy your work as will I.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 56
Lana Harvey isn't just any reaper. She's the new captain of the Posy Unit, a specialty group dedicated to harvesting mass quantities of souls from natural disaster sites, battlefields, and the like. The new title didn't come without a price though. Lana made some promises along the way, and now it's time to follow through...even if that means putting herself in the path of the three Fates, a fickle and mighty force to be reckoned with. The Fates run a soul recycling plant in Limbo City, and if Lana isn't careful, they just might recycle her.
