A new world. A thousand threats. Welcome to The Continent.

Felix's life on Earth had become a series of dead-end jobs, ruined relationships, and rotating apartments smaller than most postage stamps. By all accounts, even his own, he was a coward. Too afraid to move forward, to take risks. Yet when given the chance to choose between risking his life or walking away from a deadly encounter, he didn't hesitate.

Moments before his untimely demise, Felix was snatched from earth and thrust into a magical world known only as "The Continent". Empowered by the "System", he learns that he can strengthen himself through combat and dedication. To survive, he'll have to push himself beyond his limits, or else fall to the monsters all around him.

Levels, stats, and magic. Death is the start of a terrible fate, but if he lives...no one knows what he will become.

Stats and sheets are way less dominant than some seem to suggest. Aynt the best system based story around but still very enjoyable.

Nice twist to the Genre

Overall a good story. In my opinion it is sometimes a little bit flat and not that special. The beginning of the book was very nice, but in the mid section a few chapters are just powerleveling for example. The end was kinda good again.

The speaker uses a lot of voice acting to differentiate between situations and people, which is nice. However the distorted speaking of "bugged system messages" is very hard to follow. I would say that was a bit too much voice acting for me so it wasn't easy to follow anymore. But i am not a native english speaker so maybe it is just me. Other books were more easy though.

So all in all i say roughly 4 stars, maybe 3.5 stars. It was good enough to hear it through and enjoy, but i won't go for a second book of this series.

Overall good, sometimes not easy to listen

Highly addictive. Im currently finished with book 5 and the series doesnt get worse in any way. So if u planning anything important the next weeks u might consider not starting.

Hughe thanks to the authour for keeping up the good work and making things even more interesting with every book ^^

First of all, the story is great though a little slow.

The voice acting was good, sometimes a bit difficult to comprehend but not much else on which to critique, I like the different intonations. The story was all-around good but missing the mark in some aspects.

The first 30-40 chaps are nice and entertaining, but after that the story becomes a bit repetitive, the ending again is nice and makes me interested to read the next book.

Personally, the MC disappoints. A bit weak-willed, gets overrun easily and gets in his own head way too often. (A bit comparable with the books 4-5 of "He Who Fights with Monsters" though in that case the MC is not soft hearted). This does help with realism but impedes the nice flow of the story as no-one wants a weak-willed MC (at least not me :p). Not a Anti-hero MC, more like a Hero one.

The system and leveling progression is nice, and world building is also okay, though we haven't seen everything about it because of the slow pace of the book.

Now do keep in mind that I poured out all my grievances with the book, by no means is it bad. After this I will even buy the next one, but I will be honest saying that I skipped a few minutes on the middle chapters (50-70). :)

Good overall, with some points of contention

Also das Buch gefällt mir eigentlich ganz gut, leider wird die Story immer konfuser und zum Schluss habe ich den Überblich verloren, weil ich die Hälfte der auf einmal auftretenden Charaktere nicht mehr auseinander halten kann und der Autor hat eine ganz fiese Art mit dem Protagonisten umzugehen wenn es hektisch wird.... der bleibt einfach passiv und weiß nichts mit sich anzufangen, obwohl er das halbe Buch über trainiert hat, erst als alles schon verloren ist (durch die Passivität) dann, auf einmal fängt er an zu handeln und rettet den Tag... *gähn* und das auf eine Art und Weise die sich völlig konstruiert anfühlt...

Uff...
