Karna was just like any other comic book fan. He dreamed of fighting alongside colourful heroes and taking down dastardly villains.

In Titan Online, the most popular VR MMORPG going, he finally got the chance to live out his cape-donning fantasies.

That is, right up until he was killed by the game’s number one ‘hero’. A man who serves only himself in a constant grind for money, fame and adoration. Forced to start from scratch due the harsh game mechanics, Karna finds a new mission: bringing balance back to Titan Online.

With a strange new power and some unlikely allies, Karna hatches a plan to save the game and get a bit of revenge in the process.

When the heroes can’t be trusted, it’s up to the villains to save the (virtual) world.

Pretty good for a Lit RPG Just felt a little rushed. I didn't like that such a low lv char was able to complete so much

A really good story. I truly enjoyed listening to this book. And I would recommend it to everyone else.

It’s not often I listen to a book that is exceptionally well written, well narrated has a story/plot line that goes beyond typical leveling and stack tables. This is one. A gem among the rough. Much looking forward to the the next in the series.

Seriously awesome

When the goal of a villain is to do good for all, are they still a villain?

when the bad guys do good

I think that you have a lot of potential in this book to work with. So keep up the good work and I hope you do more with this story.

Great

You ever start a book, like the concept, well written. Then you get half way through it and realize absolutely nothings happened. That you’ve spent 6 hours listening to the MC complain that someone is too popular/powerful. But you’ve invested too much time to not see what happens. So you start to skip, and skip. And each time it’s still him complaining. Then you just say f it and stop listening w/ 3 hours left. That’s this book.

I was tricked

The premise sounded great, and although the narrator isn't the best I've heard he's still worth 5 stars. The problem is that the story is so dry that even with a good narrator it threatened to put me to sleep at times. Not a good listen for an OTR trucker who listens to audio books to help while away the hours on the road. If you can handle a story as dry as Dune then this would be a great listen for you, otherwise skip it.

A story so dry it doesn't need a desert.

A truly enthralling story. One of betrayal, vengeance and drama. I found a new favorite sub-genre because of this book. I was honestly unable to stop listening for more than a few minutes at a time.

The performance was amazing, I wish more voice actors were involved for the female parts however. It would have added another great layer to the immersion.

You either die a hero, or...

I'm going to start by saying I loved how the mastermind class is being demonstrated in this book. I like the character interplay, on the whole, the core characters have interesting personalities, even those in their periphery.

the first issue is the same every litRPG book that takes place within an actual game suffered from. there is no sense of jeopardy because the MC is never really in any danger.

The second issue is that this is book 1 of a series, when it feels like it should be the culmination of a series. we are told of Streaks trials to get where he was at the start of the book. of how hard it was to get there, but it's just that something we are told and because I never got to feel how much was invested in him, it was harder to feel the MC's justification for everything that comes afterward.

another issue is how quickly we go from let's do this, to well it's done. just like the lack of jeopardy leads to not worrying about the MC, this led me to feel uncertain the victory was earned.

I expect I'll add the next book to my TBR list because I am curious to see how much of a villain Despot will end up being

A revenge tale told too fast
