About this listen

Eric was born in a world governed by the Great System, in the family of Aren Bergman, a respected miner from Orchus. But the joy of gaining a son was overshadowed by the newborn's terrible affliction. Eric was completely nulled-level zero and no characteristics points. The only things keeping him from dying were his tiny base supplies of "life" and "energy".

The medicine woman who delivered Eric believes this to be the work of the evil spirit, Bug. Due to the peculiar laws of the Great System, Eric cannot use experience essences or characteristics tablets, so he risks having to spend his whole life confined to a bed. But his father finds a solution. He takes out a large bank loan and goes to the capital where he buys a few artifacts of the Ancients on the black market, which have no level restriction.

Despite having the artifacts, Eric is still very feeble, and everyone in town thinks him a freak. But at least he can move on his own, and that gives the Bergmans hope. But alas, it isn't for long. On Eric's 14th birthday, his father and mother die in a mining accident. The bank takes their house, and Eric is left with no choice but to work off the remaining debt in the Dungeons of the Crooked Mountains. And so begins the story of a nulled boy's struggle to survive....

there are some oddities like "I'd give my last dollar to..." nobody there even knows what a dollar is. of they had used dollars as their currency I wouldn't mind, but that is the only time I picked up on that word in the book, there are other examples but this one stands out to me. good book, though.

the translation could be better

this was a pleasant surprise from the Plus catalog! excellent storytelling and narration. the next couple books are also in the plus catalog and I can't wait to listen to them.

Really good!

great story, like the concept. love interest parts feel a little chauvinist, not crazy blatant. Good narration, I think because of the cover I wanted a more apathetic MC but I still liked him. on top of being weak he doesn't have a cool bone in his body. I think he is getting there though. really enjoyed it.

Fun read

There’s a lot to love here from the idea to the setting, to the system design, etc. But nothing really resolves in this book. It feels like it was kind of ended on what should have been the ~3/4 mark of this singular book’s story

Unique Idea, not enough follow through on the plot lines that are set up

Definitely a unique storyline that kept me entertained and I’m now going to get the next book.

A unique take on LITRpg I love every minute of it. It’s definitely a great book worth reading/ listening too.

Odd concept

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

The performance and the writing was really engaging but the story left something to be desired. The story took a long time to pick up and ends abruptly with very little info about what the point of the series is. I felt like the main character was a leaf blowing in the wind until a 3/4 of the book was done.

decent enough

30 minutes into the book I had wondered if this was going to be a story I would enjoy through the end. I am pleased to write that it was very much so and i look forward to the next book in the series.

Alexey Osadchuk's writing and Andrew Douglas Schmitt's translation was quite good and Derek Shoales' narration was also entertaining and well done.

An enjoyable litRPG starting book
