    About this audiobook

    Some people just knew how to go out in style. Tim had never been one of those guys.

    Tim was always a planner. The plan was to get into college, graduate, and find a well-paying job.

    That plan was coming together nicely until he saw a presentation to get paid to play The Etheric Coast. At his graduation ceremony.

    After watching the company's employee recruitment video, Big Richie's words had a whole new meaning. He could spend his life going from a cubicle at work to a one-bedroom apartment and back again . . . Or he could take a leap of faith by entering a virtual world of unlimited possibilities. And get paid.

    Now he just has to figure out how to get the job of his dreams, help his parents financially, and catch the attention of the girl of his dreams.

    It was time for him to catch his wave. Tim sure hoped it didn't kill him first.

      Aug 28, 2017

      Well, that was something. And it was also something else _ and then some. The seventh season of "Game of Thrones" went out Sunday with a bang, a whimper, a double-cross, a triple-cross, a killing, an execution and a massive demolition project. A majo

      It seems like almost every character has the same personality and there is too much unnecessary profanity. The brief sections where there isn't profanity every second word and the characters actually have a personality other than that of a sarcastic self-important teen-ager are pretty good but are few and far between.
    • 5/5
      Definitely five this one a go! It’s got humour, action and fun characters
    • 3/5
      The MC is a Mary Sue. Nothing is difficult, there's no real challenges, and the writers put in a number of filler content which is just preachy exposition. What's bad, is I agree with most of it, but the amount of filler is just not necessary for the book.
      Like, I am as liberal as anyone I know, but this just comes off as super-preachy.
      As much as he talks about how much hard work someone should have to do, he sure keeps getting things handed to him on a silver platter.
    • 3/5
      Okayish book, which lets you dig into the new world nicely. Somehow annoying since authors start to preach their life / game lore and main character gets delivered every on a golden plate. Don’t like this “easy” stories, where they jump from one fight to the other and the difference at the end is only the monsters name and how cool they are in taking the evil down.
      You may pick another good cool LitRPG stories available, since part two is nothing bad bad spent time and latest there you will not continue these books.
    • 4/5
      lots of fun and catches the essence of how things go in a game with enough life to resonate
