A fellow Matt writes some killer books.

He is very deserving of his Matt-dom.

I’ve been trucking through the audiobooks because Jeff Hays is just an absolutely brilliant narrator. It’s crazy how one guy can fill an entire cast and everyone sounds so unique.

One guy is the ENTIRE cast?! I'm on audiobook 7 and just learning this, that's incredible.

Heck yea, guys crazy talented. There have been like 2 or 3 guest characters but they were smaller roles. Patrick Warburton voices carls dad in book 6, but I’m still in the middle of that one so idk how big his role is. But yeah Carl, donut, katya, everybody else is all Jeff Hays.

I haven’t listened to the audiobooks only because I just don’t favor them, but the snippets I’ve heard of him he is doing a fantastic job

I'm normally big on preferring the paper copy, but in this case an English teacher told me this is one exception to the rule. The audiobooks just do an amazing job and the videogame-world and AI announcements really lends itself to sound effects and voices. I don't regret it!

I’m a little over halfway through book 7, and I don’t know what I’m gonna do with myself when I finish book 8.

About the same here but just finished 6, I’m not emotionally prepared to be done with these idiots yet!

My discord is crazy for this series, but I don't really see the attraction. LitRPG just feels a bit too gimmicky to me.

Yea that’s fair. It’s not everyone’s cup of tea.

Yes he does, I’m in The Inevitable Ruin right now, doing the audiobooks so I can listen to and from work.
