About this listen
The black rain is coming. After a millennium of slumber, the old gods have awakened.
Lucas Wheelhouse, intrepid archeologist, is hurled into a world completely unlike his own. Monsters roam the streets, and divine powers fall into mortal hands. Lucas will have to seize this power if he hopes to ascend to the celestial throne. From steamy jungles to barren deserts, he'll traverse the length and breadth of a dimension beyond our understanding.
Building his family alongside his skills, he might just have a chance at overcoming the mad gods' game. But if he fails, the black rain will come, washing away humanity and extinguishing all hope.

Story
I was about to be promoted to Deputy Manager, when a strange voice—coming from a glowing gem I found in the stationery drawer—told me I was meant for more. I was thinking the same thing. Before my boss' eyes, I was transported to a fantasy world of mana and monsters. When I felled the foul beasts, the gem embedded in my hand absorbed their essence—a light that made me more adept with weapons, and able to wield increasingly better ones. It even grew my body. It turned me into the man I was supposed to be.

Story
Growing up, she was the girl down the street. Even then, I knew she was different. She was tough, rough, and had the strength to stop a speeding car with her bare hands. We were as thick as thieves, sharing every adventure. Then one day she revealed a secret. She wasn't from Earth. She was from a distant place called the Arcadia Multiverse. Her people lived under the rule of a god-like entity known as the System. That System had its gaze fixed on Earth. And it was only a matter of time before it came for us.

I was just a cop on my beat when the world ended. My last memory was of an alien death ray ripping me from existence. When I woke up in a strange world, I should have just laid low. But, when you see a woman running from slavers. Well, let's just say they got what they deserved. Only problem is that makes enemies—demigods with the power to bind the magically gifted women of Timeria to their will. I can stop them, with powers bestowed by a god. But, they come with a catch; I must bind these women, the Chosen, to my very soul. Just like the demigods I want to stop.

Story
An experimental ASI with a terminal case of curiosity reached out and tampered with the universe in a way that it should not have, and unleashed a torrent of energy we would call magic into our galaxy. Humans, and every other intelligent lifeform for that matter, were ill-prepared, physically and mentally, for such an eventuality. In an effort to save itself, the ASI hastily created something it called the Framework to shape and codify this magical energy, and usher in a new world. A world of classes, levels, and extraordinary power. But also a world of monsters.

Falling through a portal and becoming a dragon shifter was strange enough. But, when I devoured a demon core and gained access to a forbidden quest system, my life changed forever. Sintar was like Earth in many ways. It had a blue sky, green grass, and air that I could breath. The demon attacks and shifter magic, however, were new. Every man and woman in Sintar had the ability to change their form. And now, that included me. And the gorgeous, silver-haired wolf girl I saved on my first day.

Taken from my old life with little memory of what brought me here, I wake up in a high tech capsule. A wrinkly old elf tells me that my soul is incomplete and has been fused with that of a Solar Dragon to give me a second chance at life. Where? When? An urban metropolis filled with fantasy races, erected atop the back of a giant asteroid. Meteoropolis. And millions of years in the future, to boot. But that's not all. I've got super powers, too. To add to the excitement, I end up hosted by an anxious unicorn elf named Pinky Peach who is basically a professional gamer girl.

Talk about being pleasantly surprised!
When you start a new series, even one by a reliable author, there is always a little uncertainty. Will this live up to the last book or last series? Will the narrator be right for the tone of the story? Will the narrator do the characters justice? In this case, YES! The story was really good and easy to follow. Erin does a good job narrating (I like her better when she is just the female voice though) and gives all the female characters life. She struggles with some of the male voices but overall, this was a good listen. I really liked the author's version of a game world. This is a solid choice.

Fun story: lots of humor and terrific narration
Black Rain by Roland Carlsson, narrated by Erin Bateman, is 5* of hilarious fun with terrific narration!
I swear (often), Erin Bateman gets more entertaining to listen to with every book she narrates. While there are plenty of monsters to battle on their mission to save the earth, this is a very lighthearted book with lots and lots of humor. Just a few examples: a “mischief monkey” steals Lucy the now-foxgirl’s top; Lucy offers 1 gold coin and 3 dirty dishrags for a battle ax; and, perhaps my favorite, the MC describes his expertise with a weapon, noting that unfortunately, a poorly communicated cross country event put an end to his IM javelin throwing team at college. Oh, and….no, you’ll need to read/listen to the book for more!
The plot is pretty straightforward: 40ish professor and his hot 23yo redheaded grad student are transported to a realm where they must ascend nine levels to prevent the earth from being destroyed by “black rain”. She likes his transformed rippling muscles, and he likes her new fluffy foxgirl tail. Along the way, they meet lots of interesting characters, some of whom are happy to join our MCs with some fun relaxation techniques.
The book ends as they complete level 3, so I assume this is the first of three books for Black Rain. I look forward to the sequels!
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. Receiving a review copy did not influence my rating or my review.

Weirdly addictive
A greath smooth listen as expected from Erin Bateman. Roland carlson is a new author who has been creating great new content. I especially love the snarky systyem messages that contrast greatly with the scenes.

Dull
Ok story but told badly. Felt boring and just moves in a straight path from start to finish. And I know ppl like Erin but let’s be honest she needs dual narrative, her male voices are just horrible you can hardly tell who is talking.

Check out this new book from Roland Carlsson
Alright so we've got French mice, evil rat kins, and a flying pig. Are you hooked yet? OK, if not yet, then our MC is a professor out in the field with his smoking graduate student who has a crush on him when they are transported to a game world. When I say, game world I mean a game world, where our characters are in idealized version of themselves surrounded by NPC's. Who runs the game you may ask? Well of course the answer is the gods! And what is at stake you may ask? And of course, the answer is humanities very existence! If that sounds like your jam, then this is your book. It's over the top, it's fun, and I recommend this audiobook to anybody reading this review. It's another fantastic performance by the narrator and a fantastic story by the author. Thank you to everybody who had a hand in bringing this book to us, the listeners. Keep up the good work and I can't wait for book two.
