Summary
Miles Boone is finally an adult and able to roll up his permanent character. He will join the Game that the world has become. Most of the planet is now dominated by feral AIs and nano who behave as all the monsters of man’s imagination. Every adult left alive plays, striving to keep the the AI and nano from wiping us out completely. Success in the Game is survival itself. Success in the Game is success in life. If only the game wasn’t rigged against anyone who isn’t a member of the Party.
A desperate bid to get the same chance at success in the game as Party members lands him at the mercy of his family’s enemies. Now his freedom and life rest on winning a bet. Lose and he will grind the rest of his life in the beginner’s area for the Eastman clan. He will need all the luck he can get. Too bad his enemies have broken his character and gotten rid of his luck stat. How do you play a game without any luck?
Miles is going to have to outplay and outsmart his family’s enemies, corrupt Game Masters, the Party, and of course the game itself. Life is a game. His father always told him, win or lose, it’s how you play that matters. Now he is praying his father knew what he was talking about.
Beginner’s Luck is the first book in the Character Development Series.

overwelming
always considerd virtual litrpg to be inferiour to isekai or the more creative takes on the genre.
but this is the exception, also has a good concept for blurring the mmo part with rl.
but the mc's journey is excelently written and the greatest part.

Interesting concept that is delivered well
Firstly I have to say Rhys David does a great job narrating this. Audiobooks can have a great story but without a great narrator they fall flat so thankfully he was chosen to read this. It's a unique take on living in a game word (so far that I have seen) and the second book really does a good job of adding to it. If you are looking for something new then I would give this a shot as book 1 and 2 are worth listening to.

slow start but worth listening
I nearly didn't bother with this but ended up thoroughly enjoying it.
good under-dog story where intelligence beats op enemies.
next in series does not appear to be on Amazon, this is annoying as this type of thing has happened before with a audible book series.
if Amazon cant get the rights for an entire audible book series by an author they shouldn't sell the one or two books they do have because it just pissed me off, it's not as if the books are cheap to buy.

Great!
I really liked this book only problem i had with it is that it sometimes becomes a little bit to preachy. I am going to get the next book right now!

Unashamedly of its genre but a cut above most
There is a LOT of litrpg out there at the moment and frankly, I am tired of it. We see the same tropes over and over with nothing new to say.... and then we have this book. It is well written, generally well paced and it grabbed and held interest. It didn't forget the need for story or bury us in stats. I was well balanced and a refreshing read in a genre that has been done to death.
I liked the characterisation. I liked what was hinted at but never quite revealed. I liked the conflict between the main character and "The party".
I was a bit less keen on the politics - the main character has a few rants against socialism that I felt were unnecessary.
Over all, a good listen, well read and well written.

Rarely write reviews, but the author deserved it.
This is about 95% into perfection as books go.
At the end, you just want to stand up and say bravo.
The structure, the characters, the creativity. It was really well done.
To the author, thank you. Looking forward to book 3.

Great gamer fun. Excellent voice actor
I loved this book as it brought out the fun of gaming with DnD and MMORPG references with a unique twist. Lots of enjoyment and didn't want to put it down.
