Summary

"A hilarious, balls-to-the-wall, heavy-metal stake fest!"—Matt Dinniman, author of Dungeon Crawler Carl

Engage full-on warrior mode and unleash your inner hero to become the ultimate survivor!

When he accidentally opens a medieval chest that looks like it just fell off the set of Game Of Thrones, Brad Wright is thrust into the wildest adventure of his life.

Welcome to Darkworld, a savage survival game where Brad and his sassy Chihuahua, Slash, think they’ve got it all figured out. Brad’s a strategy gamer, after all. Build a shelter, grow crops, forge weapons, and form alliances to escape this nightmare.

Do that and they’ll find their way out of the game in one piece.

But Darkworld’s creators have a twisted purpose. Game guides are less reliable than a rusty sword. An AI is hell-bent on breaking players. There are trolls, goblins, vampires, and worse, off-key bards. Even if Brad gets past them, he has the butchers to contend with. Sadistic people who paid to carve up players like Thanksgiving turkeys.

Brad can’t fail. Dying in the game doesn’t just mean GAME OVER. Fail, and it’s like being flushed down the metaverse’s toilet. Poof! Vanished like a glitchy NPC. What’s worse than being dead? Being erased like you never existed at all.

The rules are brutal. The stakes are high. Success is nearly impossible. Victory means more than loot and leveling up.

The ultimate game of survival will be won in a loincloth in this action-packed LitRPG Adventure perfect for fans of Dungeon Crawler Carl and This Trilogy is Broken! When you start a game with nothing but a loincloth, a dog who cusses like a sailor, and only your wits, there’s only one way to go.

I found this book an enjoyable listen especially the antics by Slash. It's made me think about what my dogs are learning :)
Looking forwa4d to the next book.

I love Slash

was really excited to read another story by this author after I devoured Dungeon Crawler Carl but was very disappointed. story is good but I could not stand Slash and his BS just ruined the whole book and audio performance. I honestly did not think I would finish it but powered through and found I won't be reading another of this series. nothing against the story telling or world they felt top notch but characters really dragged it down.

okay but not a patch on DCC

The basic premise is solid and there is some good camp building. The interaction between the MC and dog definitely grows on you.

I just found some of the MCs behaviour odd given his background.

Fine but gets better as the story goes

the performance was decent enough. but the story drags on and slash, gets irritating, especially the screaming

whelmed

I like the story. The concept is good and the survival element with player hunters is interesting. It's no DCC and the writing is a bit clunky at times. But, this story has loads of potential. I found the narration of the dog a little bit much at times but overall it was an entertaining listen.
The MC is a bit basic, considering that he's a gamer he shouldn't require his dog to be the brains at times.

With all said and done, I am invested can't wait for book 2.

Lots of potential
