About this listen

Something quite odd is happening in Second World - the planet's foremost MMORPG. Something that's causing alliances to be broken, and friendships, forgotten. A worthless low-level mine becomes the stage of vicious battles, its burned ruins suddenly contested by the game's toughest clans. Every border is controlled, and every road in the province blocked off. The weak players and NPCs alike are subjected to non-stop violent raids courtesy of Eastern invaders. And the strong...the strong are scouring the virtual world for the culprit - the weirdest noob the game has ever seen.

Started slow and at times monotonous, if you haven't played mmorpg style games before then the first few chapters might stop you in your tracks, however the overall story was enjoyable and immersive.

Slow start but worth the effort.

While the book does refer to the MC as a noob to an excessive amount, he is in fact a new player with what can be considered nearly zero exposure to modern day video games. To top it off and give justification to other people calling him a Noob, is the fact that the game is the biggest sensation for the past few years and the MC has been so isolated that he can only vaguely recall the name of the game.

While other reviews say that there is an excessive use of the word Noob to describe the MC and many of his actions, I have personally played online video games where people will scream and curse at others saying they are a noob or that action was a noob thing all the time. As I have had this experience, it is not an issue that the other characters in the book who use this term, who also play the game for a living, might become upset with someone who is so unfamiliar with the game. The fact that he comes across as someone who can't even remember to look at online posts for help, destroyed his stat build, and can't even figure out how to eat on his own, further cements this notion.

Overuse of the word NOOB?

I refrained getting this book even though it was a suggestion because I wasn't ready to get absorbed into another series, but now that some of the other series I have devoted time to have reached a lul I had the time to invest in this series and I enjoyed it as much as I knew I would. I am also very happy that there are a few more stories in this series that I can already dive into.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes. The device that ties the two worlds together is smooth and believable and the story accurately conveys the feeling of playing an rpg, and playing it very well. The whole thing plods along at a steady pace and it keeps drawing you in, even tho some of the elements would be a little repetitive, like system game messages. The whole thing is fun.

Who was your favorite character and why?

The protagonist Ross around whom all the action revolves.

What does Kevin T. Collins bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

The game messages such as levelup messages, the npc voices

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, I had hard time pausing it.
