Good basic story with good twists

This is a good book with some really good twist but there are number of places where the book seems to be not working correctly end of book 2 Seems to jump missing A large amount of the story out and at the end of book 3 repeats part of the story at the start of the book 3 which is quite annoying As I’m not sure if I’m missing the end of the book I would guess from three books I’ve listened to that this would have a least another three books in the series if they are ever written

Great book.

Fantastic characters, a very entertaining storyline with a strong female MC. The story flows very well as it’s so well written. Of course wonderfully narrated by the legend herself.

A boxset suits these books

This boxset release of the first three books in the series makes perfect sense, none of them are very long by usual audiobook expectations and they do not really feel like distinct entities either, the transition feels more than going to a new chapter but not by much.

This series of books focuses on the adventures of an 'NPC' character in a game and it skirts the line between being a regular scifi/fantasy novel and the lighter end of the litrpg genre, there are some mentions of healthbars etc but not to much in the way of stats interrupting the actual story that escalates quite rapidly from this starting point. Even with Maddie (the npc in question) being very much slotted into the chosen one style of main character, it doesn't feel too forced and the character remains likeable and the story engaging.

The narrator gives a strong performance, a good tone for the main character and keeping the supporting cast sufficiently distinctive from each other to enhance the flow of the overall story.

Overall, this boxset is an entertaining introduction to this series and I anticipate enjoying further instalments in the series too.

thurally enjoyable.

I have to say I really enjoyed this box set of the first 3 books in the serise, the take from an NPC was a nice change, the whole story was very interesting.

The journey it takes you on is fascinating, the characters are easy to follow, very likable. Maddie's self discovery is full of challenges, I found myself wanting more.

brilliant! I'd deffinatly recommend it

Well worth it

The boxset is the way to go with this series, I would have felt cheated and given it a far worse review if I had bought the first book simply because they are so short...
however the story told is very interesting and I've highly enjoyed it...

You follow a female protagonist in semi LITRPG series as she discovers herself, the system and what it means to be her, the series is a little rough around the edges at times, but overall, I've truly enjoyed the boxset and will be getting the rest of series once the second boxset comes out <3

Book set 1-3

These books are like Ready Player One, Push Start to Play etc. Puatera Online is simply fabulous! The fact that this story is told through the POV of a self-aware NPC is unique!

Not Bad, Didn't Grab Me

I did not find the story compelling; it was close, but I stopped listening and didn't miss it.
The performance was pretty good, but I found the regular mis-emphasis offputting.

Good story and good narrator

My first contact with litRPG is great adventure story. Would recommend as a casual listen.
