Without so much as a warning, humanity in its entirety was suddenly moved to another dimension. Every person, without exception.
But this new world, with all its opportunities and gifts of wondrous abilities, was a stadium. A deadly arena of an unimaginable scale. And humanity was to be its latest gladiators. Every man, woman, and child was given a weapon and ordered to fight. Stuck in this dimension without a way out, only two options existed for the would-be hunters: Fight with monsters to complete the many trials ahead, or perish.
Faced with hordes of powerful monsters, thrown into battle with complete strangers at random, the unfair game of survival began. And from the very beginning, billions of lives were extinguished in mere moments. But even within this abyss of despair was a small ray of hope: If even one person were to complete every raid, then humanity would be redeemed and restored back to its former glory.
No save points, no revives, no retries. Everyone had just one life to make their way through the gauntlet of raids prepared to test their mettle. Within this marathon of death, one man becomes aware of an exception to the rules of the game.

There are some positive parts to the story, but I really don’t care to recall nor phrase them & will instead leave them to other reviewers.
Good voice actor though.
Shallow & self-centred -no challenge

The story feels like it is just a very detailed and written out concept with no depth whatsoever. The main character is thrust upon the reader with no characterization and doesn't really get much later on either. This boring story itself would still have gotten it maybe two or three stars but the subtext sadly makes it more a chore than entertainment to listen to.
Just to name two examples that stood out to me:
Calling people that would rather die than kill a defenceless person 'weak minded' is something that throws a big shadow on the story, especially since it came from the narrator and not a character the reader could ascribe the opinion too.
The other is the seemingly obsessive description of people by what colour their skin is and what country they are from and then making the 'arab guy' and 'asian guy' complete assholes while the people that are more representated in western media at least decent. Now, this might not be on purpose, it does nonetheless make me feel like I have to pay closer attention to what the author is saying about these people indirectly and makes it a lot harder to just turn the brain off for a bit and enjoy a genre of books that otherwise doesn't require full attention.
In short: I am worried about the subtext and therefore can't enjoy
One of the best Voices actors there are wasted on a below average story
