Summary

Without so much as a warning, humanity in its entirety was suddenly moved to another dimension. Every person, without exception.

But this new world, with all its opportunities and gifts of wondrous abilities, was a stadium. A deadly arena of an unimaginable scale. And humanity was to be its latest gladiators. Every man, woman, and child was given a weapon and ordered to fight. Stuck in this dimension without a way out, only two options existed for the would-be hunters: Fight with monsters to complete the many trials ahead, or perish.

Faced with hordes of powerful monsters, thrown into battle with complete strangers at random, the unfair game of survival began. And from the very beginning, billions of lives were extinguished in mere moments. But even within this abyss of despair was a small ray of hope: If even one person were to complete every raid, then humanity would be redeemed and restored back to its former glory.

No save points, no revives, no retries. Everyone had just one life to make their way through the gauntlet of raids prepared to test their mettle. Within this marathon of death, one man becomes aware of an exception to the rules of the game.

dnf it's just too dumb

I don't necessarily need the main character to be some kind of genius, but that assumes that there's something else going on in the story. this book has literally nothing except the main character facing fight after fight. there's no overarching plot or meaningful character interaction, just fight fight fight and prep to fight, so there needs to be some depth to that aspect. unfortunately all the mc ever really does is declare his latest power up will allow him to easily beat the next few raids, despite the fact that he always says that and always struggles.

Awful

I gave up with an hour or so left. Nothing is explained. The MC is not likeable in anyway. One of the very few audiobooks I've given up on.

very mediocre

no character development, no world building no system underpinning the world, no sidenplot or side characters. there isn't really any point to the stats given or any real point to his decisions. the chatacter doesnt use 7coins early to "save" but earns more than 2k coins in the next chapter making the decision poinltess. lots of internal inconsistencies.

the character is barely even challenged except in word "this is very difficult to do by myself"...proceeds to do the thing byhimself in 2 short paragraphs.

action isnt bac but is also lackluster. narrator is food though. There are much better reads of the same genre such as systems of the apocalypse or dungeon crawler carl. measuring this against them, this is lackluster in both story and action.
