One minute, Kaelan’s a marketing exec with a dreary life. The next, he’s summoned by a gorgeous priestess into a world of swords, magic, and a warlord out for his blood. He’s not sure it’s an improvement until he learns the rewards are most certainly worth the risks. With unique and mighty powers to unlock, levels to gain, and some daring damsels on his team, can he survive long enough to save the kingdom?

Not my favorite book. Better than a lot. The whole book felt like he was trying his best to avoid a me too moment. Before every spicy scene there has to be a verbal contract The very first one being done in chapter 16. I believe could have easily been done by chapter 3. Just another book that makes you wonder is this really your idea of a fantasy life. For exe 1: Her do you want to tough it? Him Are you sure. You don't have to do anything you don't want to. I don't want to make you do anything you don't want to. This is every single time. If sex makes you so uncomfortable just leave it out of the story completely this book would have been a lot better without it.

Could have been better. But not bad

A lot of good things that make this a good listen. Though MC is a bit annoying saying stupid shit and acting like an idiot way too often also inserting foot into mouth and throwing self pity parties too often. Act like a damn man not a little punk. If I have to hear him say sorry one more time, or he doesn't deserve this or that.... I may vomit lol. Don't get me started on his "I need to this myself speech and attitude that he always said. Acts like a pitiful whiner and refuses help. Lastly mc comes off as a bit obtuse.....his head priestess all but telegraphic near the end she is off to do something dangerous and likely permanent like sacrifice herself, she says "a I Love you" goodbye meaning like probably forever.His other girl is like I wonder where she is going and he is like duh duh duh she will find something to entertain her....he can't be that stupid right?

Good book

The MC understood the direness of the situation, performing honorably. I was impressed by the performance and am excited for the next book.

Amazing Story

Story and system are fun. I enjoyed the plot and the characters. The narrators kill it the entire time. I especially like the action scenes and how they are described. It's worth a listen.

book is very nice

This one is kinda tough to get through. i get it, the mc needs to grow and get better, but the mc is bordering hard on the incompitent scale here, to the point where i had to take breaks from the book due to the mc' idiocy

Has potential, but the mc is hard to like

There’s a great deal of incompetence from the MC and clearly poor decisions made all around. I think I get what the author was going for in those moments, but it consistently fell way short. The narrators made it something that can be listened to, but they had to carry a lot of weight.

A struggle.

Mc starts off trying to make it look like he is this great tactician, only to prove he is an idiot. his first opponent was able to cut him down before he knew it, so after that short exchange he gets heavy armor. armor does nothing to protect him so he goes with a slower weapon. he was already too slow with the fastest weapon he could find, so now he grabs something he is even less likely to hit with.
eventually he realizes he can get skills, so.... he gets a skill that most people can do automatically. Climbing. he then uses it to run away.

Mc is mentally incompetent.
