The long-awaited sequel to Jake’s Magical Market is finally here—and now with more market! Well, not quite yet. First, Jake has to survive a perilous trek through time if he ever hopes to return home to his friends, his market, and his former world. The last time we saw our intrepid hero, Jake had barely managed to escape being trapped on a dead version of his own world. Using a combination of his new powers, he threw himself backward through time, back to when the god that trapped him first rose to power.

So Good!!! Can’t wait for the next one!

While it did seem she a few chapters to get used to the new narrator, the story is so good that I completely forgot after a while.
Don’t be distracted or discouraged from listening just because of the change. The story is beyond excellent. The narrator does it justice. I’m very happily looking forward to more.

Since childhood Nila Carter has been made to spend every weekend at the family cabin. In her teenage years she believes it to be a prison; as an adult it becomes her sanctuary and means to survive. When a mysterious outbreak occurs in India, Nila's brother, Bobby, a virologist with the CDC, places the family on a precautionary alert to be ready to bug out. Unlike anything he's ever seen, the rabies-like virus is not just deadly; it causes extreme violent behavior in those infected.

MC isn’t interesting

MC NEVER stops making bad decisions. Almost every time she has to decide something, she can’t think. She can’t move. She’s having a hard time. Good grief. I finished it but I’m not interested in knowing further details.

In the city of Puerto Manada, orphans never get a chance they don’t make for themselves—especially not rare badgerboy orphans, such as the unnamed protagonist. Struggling to even find a little bread to feed himself, he survives by working as a pickpocket for local crime bosses, while his world is ravaged by a war between its two great superpowers. But everything changes when an enigmatic member of the elite wolfmen hands the badgerboy a mysterious package to deliver to a faraway land.

I’m Invested
Reviewed: 10-28-23
The only reason why I didn’t give a complete 5 stars is because the story is a bit slow. But it’s for a reason. The build up is excellently done. I was a little frustrated with the MC do-gooder attitude despite the other characters bad actions towards him but I am also a “kill ‘em all” type 😂. So take that how you want.
Overall, I’m invested in the story and looking forward to the next adventure.

After the arrival of the multiversal monopoly BuyMort, life got brutal. All systems were through BuyMort. All currency was through BuyMort. All sales were through BuyMort. You could resist, you could compete, but it didn’t really matter because in the end you used BuyMort—or you perished. BuyMort be praised. But not everyone’s happy with the new system. Some, even, want to see it destroyed. It’s quick. It’s convenient. And it will help people kill you and your family as readily as it will help them sell you knickknacks for a quick mortie.

It's been over a century since the humans lost the war for Earth. Cities have been reclaimed by nature, and the planet is quiet and empty by day. At night, feral vampires - more beast than man - roam the lands, hungry for blood. The few thousand surviving humans live on a massive airship that circles the Earth, moving with the rotation of the planet so it's always in sunlight.

Alex is sooooo dang unlikeable. It made the entire story feel forced. Im going to stop here and not finish the next publisher pack but I don’t regret the credit. It was interesting enough to finish the first pack but not enough to continue.

Raze is "just" a lowly Gearblin chained to the quest-giver desk at the worst (and only) arcade in town. And that’s a problem for her. It means that she’s a Non-Participating Citizen, someone who can’t see her stats nor make opposed rolls against Heroes. It’s why her life’s worth less than the vendor trash she doles out. The old-timers swear it didn’t used to be like this; their issues only began once RNGesus went AFK a thousand years ago, leaving the questionably blessed Heroes to conquer everything without consequence.

Life’s tough when you’re trapped in an eight-year-old body on another world. His name is Eight. Not really, but that’s what the System decided after a slip of the tongue. One moment, he was stepping out the office door on the way home, and the next waking up on a hillside below a town wall. Oh, and the gate guard drove him off, because he thought Eight was a monster. What’s a boy to do in a world full of magic and so many, many hungry creatures searching for their next meal? Well, there’s an old man inside that body, and he'll use everything he’s learned to survive.

Reviewed: 08-05-23
Still interesting. Even sped up, the audio felt too slow. Yet I was able to find a happy pace that kept the story moving for me. Like the characters and story build up too. Great detox from heavy fight laden stories too. I’m definitely going to pickup the second book. Hopefully, the MC is less reminiscent and more in the here-and-now.

I love stories that paint vivid scenes with an intriguing spin of fantasy (game world) and reality (human thought processes). This story has it all. I’m happy I decided to buy all of the books that were available during the sale because I’m so excited to move to the next book.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 5,347
It was just a random mutation - one of a billion that happen in viruses every day. But this one was different. It exploded out of Somalia and spread across the oceans before anybody thought to look up from their cell phones to see what was going on. The infected breathed the virus into the air around them, spreading it through the cities faster than anyone thought possible. Hospitals were overwhelmed. Police lines crumbled. Quarantine sites disintegrated. Cities started to collapse.

This was PHENOMENAL! Characters, virus progression, setting (gotta love my home state, Texas), and everything in between were so freaking amazing. Even the annoying parts of the MCs personality were realistic and easy to love to hate. I couldn’t stop listening to the end. Should be a movie!

By working together, Henry Sato and Jason Booth have managed to survive their unwanted trip to Ludus, an experiment planet. However, Delvers LLC has made some enemies...if monsters, bandits, mages, criminals, bounty hunters, and even dark cults can be called, "some enemies." After their latest battle, the two have been separated and must adapt or die. Henry in particular faces a trial by fire - perhaps literally - that may be impossible for him to overcome. The two American men will face their greatest challenges yet while working as conscripted Berber Intelligence agents. But even while outnumbered, and most likely outgunned, the former veteran EMT and resilient IT programmer will be armed with modern Earth know-how.

Outstanding Story, except for…
Reviewed: 04-03-23
This is one of the best series I’ve listened to. It’s definitely rated top 10 for me. The performance is also top tier. Characters are easily identifiable and animated uniquely. I love everything about this series except 2 things. First, like most other litrpg, the magnificence of the story is cheapened by the baseline attitudes of all the males. Every single female that they encounter is reduced to looks and their level of attraction to them even after marriage. I get it. Men are sexual but they have to be deeper than this. At least for storytelling purposes. John Wick is an excellent example of how to tell a kickass story without being a horn dog who is basically trying to live out harem fantasies.
Next, and for me this is even worse than the first, I cringed so damn hard every time Henry’s race (“the Asian man”) and Thirsty’s race (“the Black man”) was said. For Henry, it had absolutely no relevance to who he was because his life is even before being isekai’d could have happened to anybody. Thirsty’s race was only initially relevant as a baseline description but after that, it had no bearing on who he is or his story. Worse yet, not once was Jason’s race mentioned in the is way. Not once was Jason called “the white man” or “the caucasian man”. Why? It’s like Jason’s race is the default while the other races were treated an anomaly. The problem with this is that for every single character, you could switch out their race and their stories wouldn’t change at all. Even Thirsty’s story would only be mildly impacted because his history of being bullied and shunned could happen within any culture. So what was the purpose of that? I don’t get it.
These things really started to the ruin the story for me. So much so that I am hesitant to purchase the next book in this series.
