Publisher's Summary
Ilea likes punching things. And eating.
Unfortunately, there aren’t too many career options for hungry brawlers. Instead, the plan is to quit her crappy fast-food job, go to college, and become a fully functioning member of society. Essentially—a fate worse than death.
So maybe it's lucky that she wakes up one day in a strange world where a bunch of fantasy monsters are trying to kill her?
On the bright side, "killing those monsters right back" is now a viable career path! For she soon discovers her new home runs on a set of game-like rules that will allow her to punch things harder than in her wildest dreams. Well, maybe not her wildest dreams, but it’s close.
With no quest to follow, no guide to show her the way, and no real desire to be a Hero—Ilea embarks on a journey to discover a world full of magic. Magic she can use to fight even bigger monsters.
She’s struggling to survive, has no idea what will happen next, and is loving every minute of it. Except, and sometimes also, when she’s poisoned and/or has set herself on fire. It’s complicated.
Listen to the story that took Royal Road by storm with more than 60 million views and counting.

I understand my bias in favor of the narrator generally as I’ve loved a lot of the books she’s narrated. This story is excellent and one of the best long form books I’ve listened to in a long time. I really prefer 20 hour and longer books presuming it’s not just full of fluff and filler and this story delivers very well. As usual when I find a new author I’ve not read before that has a really good story right out of the gate I’m anxious for the next book and the next and so on. I really hope this story and the audio books continue in quick succession.

The main character was pretty two-dimensional and the plot felt more like a string of events rather than a cohesive story. Not a bad listen, but not great either.
