Publisher's summary

Cut class. Kick ass. Save the frigging world.

When college sophomore Dan Marshall's life morphs into a hybrid of Penn State and a home-brew tabletop RPG adventure, he grabs his talking two-handed sword and hits campus, seeking gold, girls, and glory.

But even with two beautiful badass women at his side, how can a low-level barbarian survive when he’s pitted against a fraternity of gnolls, a dungeon full of nightmares, and an apocalyptic death cult bent on destroying the whole world?

Warning: Dan the Barbarian is an over-the-top adventure novel intended for listeners 18 and older. It includes explicit sex, graphic violence, a harem of gorgeous ass-kicking girls, and a foulmouthed two-handed sword. Listen at your own risk.

ehh we shall see how book 2 turns out

There are select few books that make me want to bash my skull against a wall, this is one of them. This book is not a bad listen in all honesty loved the first 80% the 15% after that though ruined the book for me. Jinx I'm hoping your writing style doesn't continue in the same manner with the rest of this series because I enjoy power mage immensely so far so I know your not a depressing writer but Dan's story so far is depressing

Dan becomes The Man!

Dan wanted to live in another world, on of adventure and excitement, but when he gets his wish he discovers that comes with a price. Incredible author and one of the best narrators out there.

fun

fun story - great narration!

a zaney adventure full of puns, beautiful women, and crazy barbarians - what could possibly go wrong?!

this is a harem story, and is fairly predictable at times, but that being said - it's funny, fun, and entertaining. the narrator really brings the characters to life and draws you into the story. well worth a credit.

Convert the real world into litRPG

I've really enjoyed this series. The first (for me) to turn the real world into a litRPG adventure for the MC and it really sparked my imagination. Above average writing for this genre too. Good job Mr. Jinx. Gold, Girls and Glory!

A unique approach to LitRPG and so good!

I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

I loved this book. I will start off by praising the narration. Andrea Parsneau did a superb job of bringing this book to life. I love her voices, espcially for the monstrous characters. So great! Anyway, I also really love how this author approached the whole game world thing. A cool, unique approach. All in all, this is a great start to the series and I am rediculously looking forward to the next book!

Dan the Geek goes to Dan the Man

Love Andrea brought the story to life by making it a joy to listen to. If you like D&D give this a go you'll get a kick out of the references and Wish that there was someone around that could play chess with you lol
