About this listen

In all the games Matt has played, dungeons are places to raid, places you dream of conquering, but when the world is stripped of electricity, and the first mana-twisted beasts start to prowl, the games all come to an end....

Matt's just an ordinary guy, but when he's beaten, robbed, and left for dead, bleeding out at the bottom of a gully, it all has to change as he grasps frantically at his only chance for survival, coming as it does in the form of a glowing, dangerously pulsing light.

With his reality forever altered, Matt must quickly find a suitable place to deploy the Dungeon Core, fighting his way through the hundreds of people between him and safety, because if he doesn't do it soon, a Core Detonation will solve all of his problems for him....permanently.

Welcome to the New World.

The beginning of the book, the first hour or so, was greatly enjoyable and I loved the characterization of the characters! The book was an interesting twist on the dungeon core trope and the story overall was good. However, there was what felt like an abrupt shift in Matt's personality after the initial part of the book and, though there was some sense to it, it felt a bit disorienting - seeing as he went full murderhobo after essentially having been an average dude just days prior. Trauma can cause people to have sudden changes in personality, yes, but the shift of the main character's personality felt, in some ways, too great and perhaps should have been more gradual and fleshed out, to make the change feel more realistic. Anyhow, the book was a fun read/listen and I do look forward to the next one in the series! Additionally, the performance of the voice actor added to the enjoyment of the book and was a great choice. Amazing performance and an enjoyable book!

A fun read!

Action, adventure, humour.. would have been nice .. and this book delivers, this is the whole package including the bucket and spade.
The narrator - Neil is spot on, with just the right tone and inflection.
Spoiler alert - world goes to hell in a hand basket, so the MC does the best he can after bonding with a dungeon - with a little help.. eventually.

Hard core LITRPG adventure of the best kind

Pretty refreshing to have a MC that actually solves his problems instead of the usual dithering. Also the fact that he actually 'has' problems and isn't handed everything on a platter.

Slightly insulted about the Tomato crisps, but I'll get over it.

As always, Neil did a fantastic job with narration.

Great listen.

I jumped into this with no explanation; no idea what to expect at all. I am tremendously glad I gave it a chance. I'm rushing to jump right in to the next one.

A pleasant surprise.

First, credits to the narrator he is amazing.

The story starts quite good giving a view in the life of the protagonist. Then it picks up speed and for the first ~40% it is a blast but then more and more logical failures sneak in, moral issues are shrugged away and the main character gets manipulated and used and he really is not the type of man who lets something like that slide….

Well known narrator Neil Hellegers does this audio a great job as I would expect to relative newcomer Jez Cajiaos new series.
This is very much a litRPG Dungeon Core War of the Worlds vibe and somehow this weird modern real world story works kinda of like Boyces Red Mage. As this is his 2nd series I have gotten into and eargerly awaited the next installment this has now cemented his place in my must buy/listen category, something not easy in a large marketplace.
This feels very down to earth with that kinda close working grass humour style that appeals to me and I think to many of those who have been in these kinda environments.
5 out of 5 all round and hopefully for the rest of the series which Im hoping is round the corner anyday now

First off, if you haven’t been a gamer you might struggle a little.

The author is no Hemingway, but it’s a good story which kept me interested all the way to the end.

Good enough for me to get book 2.

Very enjoyable
