Summary

In addition to strength, steel, and courage, a hero discovers he's in need of a friend, in the first installment of a daring and dangerous fantasy adventure.

When it comes to action and adventure, every hero needs a good sidekick. Holmes has Watson, Batman has Robin, and Daniel has...Orrin. More like brothers than friends, they always have each other's backs. And as Daniel is the big, strong, handsome type, Orrin is more than happy to remain in his shadow at school, at parties, pretty much everywhere.

Then things take a turn for the truly weird when a terrible accident catapults the pair into a world totally unlike their own, in which the rules of a role-playing game hold sway. Naturally, Daniel is classified as a "hero," while Orrin is—also naturally—relegated to the fantasy equivalent of "bleh." Nothing new there.

But in this realm populated with lethal foes both inhuman and inescapable, sticking together matters more than ever, and soon Daniel and Orrin will discover more about themselves—and each other—than either one thought possible. In fact, Orrin just might find the confidence and strength to become something other than your average sidekick....

The first volume of the hit LitRPG fantasy series—with more than 600,000 views on Royal Road—now available on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and Audible!

Whilst the book and narration were incredible for the most part, the strange emphasis on the names of skills and abilities was utterly jarring and kept ruining the immersion. I can understand them being emphasised when specifically mentioned by the system, but by people talking about them? "Let's go save the [HERO] then." Just does not flow well.

This story did a good job at grabbing my interest, I found the main characters are likeable although dense at some points. The Narration was very good with distinct voice changes for different character the biggest criticism I have was the way the narrator took on a flat system voice every time any character mentioned a skill, ability or spell even when other characters were talking about them it felt strange and jarring and after a few 50 times it was done that way got extremely annoying a bad decision by the narrator there.

The narrator calls out the spells and skills is a bit annoying but they changes it after this book. Overall I liked the book and its a promising serie.

Some anoying things but overall a good book.
