About this listen
Ah, Nyil, with its magic, its monsters, and its petty gods. A divine spat leaves French medic Viv stranded in the middle of an arcane disaster zone crawling with undead horrors. Thankfully, there are strange allies to be found, not least the mysterious interface that helps humans survive in this merciless world.
Viv will have to progress fast to survive this calamity and find civilisation. She will also need a bit of luck. Unless, of course, she becomes the calamity herself. After all, luck is such a fickle thing.

Story
When a Demonic Assault occurs, most people stuck inside of a Fracture end up hiding inside of a bunker in the hopes that they don’t get killed by a demon. Others might even hope for the slightest possible chance at signing a contract with a spirit and becoming a Guardian. So when Scarlet was caught in a Fracture, the last thing she expected was to become a demon herself. Exactly two centuries ago, humanity was struck with their very first Demonic Assault.

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.

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!

Dhane kicked the bucket in spectacular fashion, every bone crushed, every organ popped against the full force of a 40-ton garbage truck speeding through a red light. The only part of him intact—whole—entirely unaffected by the grisly affair was his soul. Souls are durable things, you see, like kids: they bounce. And bounce he did, into the abyss between worlds, drifting until one excited soul watcher fished him out and found him a new home, a heaven for gamers and nerds and everything in between.

Story
In this world, where academic success could literally mean the difference between life and death, many students develop emotional baggage. Fortunately for Alexa, she does not suffer from the problems that plague most of her peers. Gifted with an intelligent mind to start, she realized early on that applying herself to both her academic and sports competitions was the number one way to succeed in this world. How can she do it? Shuffle studying, school work, and sports practice, all while being a teenager? The answer is simple: she has no emotions.

Warning the citizens about the hordes of criminals, crazies and creatures flooding into Mokiem from the Land of Outcasts would be the first action; repairing and sealing the Portcullis would be the second; and rescuing Wizard Szczurik from whatever hellish place the changeling had teleported him would be the third.

The only thing is, no one told her that.... And this particular [Player] doesn’t like to play by the rules. Being a chaos-loving gremlin, he glitches her out of her programming loop and drags her on various adventures. They'll grapple with friendly sharktopuses, evil emperors, and what it means to be a person.

Being a chaos-loving gremlin, he glitches her out of her programming loop and drags her on various adventures. They'll grapple with friendly sharktopuses, evil emperors, and what it means to be a person.

Story
A portal opened, and Perry's curiosity got the better of him. Once. Twice. Three times did Perry step through a portal, each to a new and strange world. He stepped through into a world of advanced technology, power armor and micro reactors. He stepped through into a world of knights and kings, orcs and goblins, where old wizards handed out magical swords. He stepped through into a world of hidden vampires and rainy streets, where the clocktower tolled the hour as ships sailed by.

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.

Sorcery and Skullduggery in the Belt of Time is clearly identified in this first book of the "Meaningful Challenge" saga. This epic journey will take the listener through many halls, to many far-flung kingdoms, and destinations mapped on a new globe of enthralling proportions: places that may still exist or, in all probability, exist no longer.

Tala had to fight tooth and nail in the Magic Academy to forge a path to power that was her own. She knows it’s her duty to use that power to serve humanity, defending them against the creatures of the untamable wilds. However, she skipped a few steps in her education, like apprenticing to someone who actually knows what they’re doing. Now, Tala has to balance learning as fast as she can with paying off the veritable mountain of debt the Magic Academy dropped on her shoulders for the opportunity; not to mention staying alive.

Great first book
Great story with a fascinating world and fun characters. Amazing job with the narrator, from the evil robot, to having proper French pronunciation.

Great book and narration!
Really enjoyed the different voice effects that added to the both the experience and understanding more of the background! I hadn’t thought about how Solfis was translating so much for Viv when I just read it. Awesome stuff on the book and narration!

Awesome narration to fit an awesome series
I've been reading and following Calamitous Bob for a long time on Royal Road and through the kindle book releases. Each time, I would look and see that there were no plans for an audiobook adaption, and it made me sad because I thought this series would be incredible if someone took on the project.
I am excited to be proven correct! The multiple narrators do an excellent job of capturing tone and style, with Laurie's constant narration serving as the perfect backbone to the story. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a fun story, with a side of war crimes. I am eagerly awaiting the next audiobook release!

Witches, Golems, Dragons Oh My!
Narration quality is as excellent as always from SoundBooth Theater.
This book is short, but good. It moves at a brisk pace mixing survival with magical progression and world building. The story sets the foundation for a promising ongoing adventure with multiple story threads already setup. The setting is a mix of high fantasy magic and a crapsack world. The main character is snarky and self reflective, while supporting cast is an interesting mix of golems that “express” empathy and knights that live like hobos.

Great story, great narration.
The prologue to the book with its gods and some very Zeus sounding motivations had be worried at first I'd gotten the wrong book, but once chapter 1 began, the story became a non-stop ride of fantastic fiction. The dark world Vivian (Bob) is sent to really keeps the tension turned up just to the right level to keep things exciting without becoming overwhelming or overly dramatic. The characters and interactions are all very well done. The only objection I have is that the second audiobook isn't ready yet!

Not a harem novel
I felt like I was in store for a harem LitRPG after the first chapter. It set up the isekai but did it in a weird way. I’m glad I kept going on because there is a good story in there and it is not a harem novel. The narration was a highlight though. Great production.

Nothing like being ripped out of your body lol
At first I was not sure how I felt about this book. But as it went along it really grew on me. I like the banter between the characters and the character growth. Can’t wait to see where this goes.
