About this listen

Do you like…Kobolds?

Do you like…Necromancers?

Do you like…Pineapple on Pizza?

Well, if you answered yes to the first two questions, this is the book for you. If you answered yes to the third, well…my mother taught me not to say mean things to people…even if they do deserve it!

Money, as they say, is the root of all evil. Not having money that is. When budget cuts at the high school where JT teaches threaten his mortgage, he’s forced to seek an alternative source of income.

Using the latest VR technology that lets the body rest while the mind is at play, our digital entrepreneur dives into the latest VR MMO game Argos Online with a potentially exploitative character build no one saw coming: the Kobold Necromancer.

He’s got all of Spring Break to see if he can grind the system for all it’s worth…or end up Spring Broke in search of a new place to live with his wife and young son.

Extra Credit by J. Arthur Klein. I do like pineapple on pizza & generally avoid necromancers. The combo in this #LitRPG though was thoroughly entertaining. The motives underpinning the protagonist were clear: he needs cash and he needs it now. Sequel please. 📚5/5🌟#BookReview

I love pineapple on pizza

Picked this up as I liked the abstract and was delighted by the story, use of a little used race with more unusual profession.
Only regret it is a stand alone book, some of the characters deserve more of a story.

All round great book

I really enjoyed this book. The humour was spot on and it was always entertaining with no real lulls in pace. I liked how the MC was an older person and he motivation for joining the game was purely financial to supplement his income so he could support his family. The MC was clever and was mature in his approach to the game and used logic in his decision making. He did a fair bit of research before picking his race and profession and planned how to maximise his in game reward via gathering and crafting which would then be converted to real world money. This started off mainly solo adventuring but this likeable MC eventually gains friends and goes on group adventure to gain loot and levels.

I liked the game world and mechanics. The skills and items were well thought out and lead to some good combination in their interactions.

The narrator did a great job adding to the humour and gave distinct voice to multiple characters

I know this is a stand alone book but I’m hoping it is successful enough to revisit this series and produce a sequel.

The character’s motivation for gaming is one many can relate to. It made me root for him throughout the story and smile when he did well. The narrating duo also do a good job and it like this approach in audiobooks.
