“The Critical Failures books are some of the funniest LitRPG books I've ever read.”—Matt Dinniman, author of Dungeon Crawler Carl
They weren’t chosen.
They weren’t heroes.
They weren’t even particularly bright.
But they were assholes.
When a group of dysfunctional idiots gets dragged into a fantasy RPG, they don’t become heroes. They become everyone else’s problem.
Trapped in a world of magic, monsters, and a game master who’s had enough of their shit, Tim, Dave, Julian, and Cooper have to survive.
Using the only skills they actually have: Bad decisions.
Petty arguments.
Zero impulse control.
If you’re looking for noble heroes, epic destiny, and clean fantasy adventure…This isn’t that.
Not even close.
This is what happens when the worst possible players get trapped inside the game.
Party-based fantasy adventure… if the party hates each other
Real RPG mechanics… abused in the dumbest ways possible
A game master who absolutely will screw them over
Crude humor. Offensive jokes. They piss off everything that moves.
They fail upward.
And somehow… they keep surviving.
What if you and your friends actually had to live inside the game?
And worse…What if you turned out to be terrible at it?
Would you survive?
Or would you be just as screwed?

And quite a story it is. You have to listen to extremely foul language, adolescent banter, gross and obscene jokes and a lot of pure nonsense. The narrative is based on role playing and being a player might help, but it is not a necessity. There is nothing serious here, it is just for fun. Regardless of all the blood and gore, the abundance of snot, excrement and pee and other disgusting details, I enjoyed the book and had fun reading it.
The story is bizarre right from the beginning. Four friends, Tim, Dave, Cooper and Julian meet in a chicken diner to get drunk and play “Caverns and Creatures”. Since none of them feels like being the game master, they invited a weird Dude to join them. It does not take long and they start to aggravate and tease the guy seriously, but that was a mistake. The next second they find themselves in a different place, a different world. They are in the game, but that is not all. Tim shrank to half the size and has a girlish voice, Dave became a dwarf with a huge beard, Cooper grew tusks, looks gross and is barely able to speak and Julian turned into an elf with pointed ears. Unfortunately the new world is a dangerous place, it is full of hostile people and crazy creatures, which would like to have them for dinner. But the worst thing is, they don’t have any idea, how to get back.
Some reviews compare Robert Bevan to Terry Pratchett, but Robert Bevan is not quite that good yet. The storyline is too erratic and inconsistent for that and after a while all this sophomoric banter appears to be quite repetitive.
Gross and Obscene, but Funny enough
