About this listen
Leo is finally ready to go find Audrey—in the heart of his first enemy's territory!
Leo, Hugh, Lily, Neha, and Andul are returning to Steelport to save Audrey, who has been captured by House Orsini, the first enemies of Leo's kingdom. Mavis Orsini is prepared to finish them off once and for all with the aid of Kruegar and his orc legions.
Meanwhile, Ygg'drasil has opened its first portal to Ice Pines, a dimension of cold and storms. A great opportunity, but new enemies wait to take everything Leo has built from him, and he needs more allies and treasures if he wants to defend his realm.
Leo is on a deadline now, as the tyrant, King Damian, has sworn to kill Lily's mother and the elf refugees unless Leo delivers a truly absurd amount of money to him within ninety days. Leo must find allies with which to rescue his paramour's mother or enough treasure to pay the ruinous demands.
Can Leo save Audrey, stop Mavis, and handle the new portal in time to also rescue Lily's mother and the other captured elves from Damian? It'll be a ride, but he doesn't intend to fall.

Story
Leo wanted to make something out of himself—and build dams. However, the world doesn't want dams. And it mostly doesn't want civil engineers. It doesn't want men who do any sort of building or fighting or grand design, it seems. So, when Leo finds his current girlfriend and boss being threatened by a brutal loan shark and all three of them get dragged through a portal to another world, it doesn't take long for him to decide this is the place for him. Plus, everyone has magic, and who wouldn't want that?

Story
I used to be the greatest Earth Mage in my world. The head of the entire Order of Architects. But the older you get, the more you come to realize that at some point, you need to retire, so that you can have the chance to enjoy a peaceful life and to cede your place to the young, some of whom have already turned two thousand years old . . .So that's what I did. But I failed to account for one thing: during the course of my long life, I'd accumulated too many enemies, and they had decided to spoil my retirement. So they died along with me. And I hope their deaths were final. But mine was not!

But when he glimpses her in the crowd, a jolt of familiarity strikes like thunder. Before he can uncover the truth, chaos erupts—the King of the Sundust Reaches storms the city, smacks Kazro aside, and abducts the royal family for a mass sacrifice.

But something went wrong. Once again, I must fight. The Monsters that face me here are far more terrifying than those of my past life. They are cleverer, crueler, more unpredictable. And their name is.

Jason and his friends just wanted to spend a week at the lake house. Time to relax, hang out, and catch up on old times. Then the System arrived. It only took a few hours for their world to become a real-life roleplaying game; trading some downtime for the need to learn new skills and powers while trying to defend their new home, their families, and survive. They don’t know the rules. They don’t know what’s coming next. What they do know is; they need to reinforce and expand their fort while protecting it, keep leveling up, and explore a dangerous new world.

This is it, the day I take over my father’s adventuring shop! Set at the base of Gianskarl mountain, where lies a vast and mysterious dungeon, this is the perfect spot. Many adventurers come to try their hand at the Karl in the hopes of hitting it big. And it’s up to me now to sell them the equipment they’ll need to face the dangers that await them. But where my father was content selling trinkets for a pittance, I want to turn this modest shop into the industry leader.

Dying the first time sucked. Matt's trying to avoid a repeat performance. For Matt, joining Earth's last line of defense was exactly the purpose he needed. Saving the world could be fun—if you don’t mind a little soul-crushing responsibility. But being killed and reincarnated into the battlefield chaos of a 4x game world wasn't what he had in mind. The world map is made out of hexagrams, the units are semi-sentient and his opponents have a head start. As if that wasn't enough, there's no instruction manual for this nightmare.

How would you like to begin an apprenticeship in the mystical craft of artificery? You'll learn things that most people can only dream of. You'll make swords with self-sharpening blades, bows that fire by themselves, and clocks that can read the future. Even better, you'll get to live in the sunlit village of Sunhampton, a sleepy little crafter's village of cobbled streets, cozy taverns, and pleasant bakeries. If this sounds like just the life for you, then grab a beer and a sweet roll, and follow Lewis as he begins his new life as an apprentice.

Story
Max was murdered, but now he is mostly over it. Living on earth as a recent college graduate, he can still perfectly recall his past life on the fantasy world of Albion before that. He'd been hailed as the "Hero of the World" after crawling his way up from poverty, eventually enjoying great fame and luxury. But on mana-starved Earth, he's just a guy.

The characters, their reactions, and how they responded to the world were just realistic enough to be on a level above most of the mediocre millennial litrpg slop that comes out these days.
The narration was also on point, and the book does at least *some* work to explain why the world is the way it is in a satirical manner, which caused me to smirk on more than one occasion.
However, my MAIN gripes with this series only get worse in this book, and happen more frequently than ever before:
++ Stat sheets are LONG, FREQUENT, and IN THE MIDDLE OF CHAPTERS AND DIALOGUE!!!! Seriously, 3 hours of this book is stat summary. That along with the important interpersonal dialogue and planning thought process in the middle of it all made me hesitant to skip the slog that is the ever-updating stat sheet. If you skip the stat sections, 20% of the book, you WILL miss important parts of the story. I really wish the author made it easier for audible users to skip these sections. I'm sure they are a pain to read as well, but not nearly as bad as listening.
++ This story manufactures drama. And it's so obvious in the book you can FEEL the cheese, almost like a soap opera. Expect the MC to be mildly interesting and competent until the moment he has an important decision to make. Expect villains to have the possibility of being great up until they come in front of the MC and make the dumbest decisions ever. This author is better than most at developing characters, but sacrifices it all to put the MC in harms way, which just feels manufactured. Often, in the most important parts of the book or "lives" of the characters you'll find yourself thinking "there's no way they'd act like that in real life."
So what do we have? An above-average litrpg that does well with character building(not world building), only to have it cash in its brownie points on forcing the MC into neverending drama. Feels like the TV show "24."
That along with the excessive stat sheets summaries and unwieldy navigation of those moments left me enjoying only a fraction of the book.
I will not be continuing this series.
All my gripes just get worse.

The plot is good, but half of book is Stats...

way to much stats, good story mostly

With that in mind, I’ll still for sure keep reading this series as the character development has been great along with world building.
Good book, but… THE EXCESSIVE STATS
