About this listen
From the imaginations of Seth McDuffee, author of the bestselling Big Sneaky Barbarian books, and award-winning screenwriter and audiobook narrator Johnathan McClain comes a new series that answers the question . . .
"What would happen if you crossed the high fantasy of Wheel of Time with the irreverent comedy of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy?"
Bruce Silver is the author of the Riftbreaker novels, one of the most popular, beloved fantasy book series of all time. He's got everything he's ever dreamed of having: freedom to tell the stories he wants to tell, legions of enthusiastic fans who wait eagerly to see what he'll write next, and a really nice car.
But despite all that, Bruce finds himself dissatisfied, battling an ennui he can't quite put his finger on. So he decides to do what anyone would do in his situation: burn it all down by unexpectedly killing off Carpathian Einzgear, Riftbreaker's cherished hero. A solid plan with absolutely no downside whatsoever.
Until . . .
Bruce wakes up to find himself suddenly transported inside the world of the novels he's written. And . . . seen by everyone he encounters as Carpathian Einzgear himself. Which is problematic for a variety of reasons, not least of which being that, when Carpathian died, he left behind a sea of destruction, broken promises, and shattered lives that Bruce is now responsible for repairing—only, without access to all the powers and skills Carpathian built up through the course of ten books. Bruce is going to have to start over at the beginning.
Meet Your Maker is a comedic, epic fantasy series that asks the questions: What is fiction? What is reality? And does it make a difference, when everyone and everything is trying to kill you?
Bruce created this world. Now he has to survive it.

Gabe Skelter has a temper, which he likes to imagine has the effect of causing people to fear and respect him. On the contrary, his pudgy, underdeveloped body and negative personality make him more your standard outcast teenager. Worse still, he kinda knows what a jerkweed he actually is. Then, in the middle of a class trip, Gabe finds himself spirited away to Regaia: a world of magic, mayhem, and nerd-tastic adventure. Naturally, he’s completely ill-prepared. But in this realm, he’s a monstrous, muscular man of action.

Story
Felix's life on Earth had become a series of dead-end jobs, ruined relationships, and rotating apartments smaller than most postage stamps. By all accounts, even his own, he was a coward. Too afraid to move forward, to take risks. Yet when given the chance to choose between risking his life or walking away from a deadly encounter, he didn't hesitate. Moments before his untimely demise, Felix was snatched from earth and thrust into a magical world known only as "The Continent". Empowered by the "System", he learns that he can strengthen himself through combat and dedication.

Hell, forget about leaving, if Dan wants to survive the week, he's going to need to harness the strange game-like magic of the Backrooms, make some very sketchy allies, and carve out a little safe haven to call his own.

Story
Mark’s new life begins in the worst possible place—a burned-out village haunted by undead. Each morning these ravenous creatures disappear, only to return at night, driven by a relentless hunger. He'll need to stay low and think quick, because trapped and alone in the body of a child, he can’t level up in this new world. At least not yet. Soon Mark will learn that even among the living, safety isn’t guaranteed. When the small town that he ends up in turns out to be at the center of a conspiracy that threatens the world, he'll need to uncover the truth before it's too late.

Sorry... Really? Thrust? Anyway, Danny Kendrick was a down-on-his luck performer who always struggled to find his place. He certainly never wanted to be a hero. He just hoped to earn a living doing what he loved. That all changes when he pisses off the wrong guy and gets sucked into a fantasy realm straight out of a Renaissance Fair. Getting used to a new world is tough. It's even tougher when you're surrounded by axe-wielding barbarians, super hot elf assassins, strange magic, and a jaded System that doesn't appear interested in being charged with yet another companion.

Bruce Silver thought he'd written the ending to his series. But the story disagreed. Still trapped inside the fantasy he believes he created, Bruce has survived monsters, magical systems, and the awkwardness of being mistaken for Carpathian Einzgear, the dead hero hekilled off. But as Bruce begins to repair the damage Carpathian left behind, he'll discover something worse than a corrupted plotline: a world he can no longer control. The System is glitching. And there may be more to his story than Bruce realizes.

When Malachi Baker stumbles into an offer of apprenticeship from the esteemed and powerful Occultist Orykson, he's left in shock and jumps at the chance to learn... Even if it means taking out a few loans. Unfortunately, his new teacher sees him more as a tool than a student. He has set Malachi near-impossible goals before he becomes worthy of Orykson's full attention, and Malachi's innate power is only somewhat above average. Worse, it turns out that Orykson has enemies more powerful than Malachi had ever imagined—and now their attention has landed solidly on him.

A great new entry

No doubt this came up because of a combination your search history (not commenting on that), media intake, and purchase history, all culminating to leading you to this book, which you are trying to figure out if it’s worth the credit.
The description fits it well, pop culture references, humor, Litrpg, meta as all get out.
If you are not familiar with the narration of Johnathan McClain or Seth McDuffee’s writing style, then I’m almost envious about the decision and subsequent experience you are about to have.
They are both, and I cannot stress this enough, amazing. Diverse in character construction and representation, this is my favorite series to listen too since Noobtown, or He Who Fights with Monsters. I wasn’t absorb it all in one go, I’m going to be re-istening to this when I’m able to focus on it completely because the some of the dialogue and narration hits different parts of my appreciation in different ways, but so close together that I know I missed something.
This is worth the credit
What I’m here for, what you are here for

I can't do the overacted screaming in this
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
However, as the book progressed, the author’s writing style became increasingly verbose. When describing situations, character details, or other elements, the narrative often used four to five descriptive statements, only to circle back and simplify with a phrase such as "basically like this..." It made the experience feel unnecessarily drawn out. As if the only purpose of the characters were to be described. While I appreciate rich, descriptive prose, the constant over-explanation grew exhausting, and at times, I found myself more caught up in waiting for the lengthy descriptions to end rather than in the story itself.
What also frustrated me was that the book was labeled as a LitRPG, but the RPG elements were lacking. Instead of true progression or meaningful game-like mechanics, it mostly made references without incorporating the kind of RPG progression that the genre typically provides. Without that sense of growth, it felt more like a story with gaming nods rather than a full LitRPG experience.
That said, the characters and overall plot are still strong enough to make the book enjoyable, and the humor and creativity were delightful. Overall, this is an engaging story, and while I believe it could benefit from more concise storytelling, you may appreciate the depth and detail the author provides.
Engaging Story with Humor, but Lacking in RPG

it wasn't really what I wanted

the fantasy names literally make me cringe and that's the point. the tropes are tropey and they're supposed to be. you know exactly what will happen because it must and yet you join in because you want to see just HOwwww thoUgH?!?! the story is fun. the characters are friends. you can trust this book to deliver entertainment and a different perspective.
the narration is excellent. it flows at the perfect pace for the story and characters. the screechy parts are screechy because there is screeching going on. I do wish the volume of the screeches might not be so high but I persevere in the pursuit of finding my likeness in this looking glass you have made for me!
spot on old chap. jolly good show.
the stream of consciousness internal narration was relatable to me - it made me like the character and the whole story better
