Summary
"A hilarious, balls-to-the-wall, heavy-metal stake fest!"—Matt Dinniman, author of Dungeon Crawler Carl
Engage full-on warrior mode and unleash your inner hero to become the ultimate survivor!
When he accidentally opens a medieval chest that looks like it just fell off the set of Game Of Thrones, Brad Wright is thrust into the wildest adventure of his life.
Welcome to Darkworld, a savage survival game where Brad and his sassy Chihuahua, Slash, think they’ve got it all figured out. Brad’s a strategy gamer, after all. Build a shelter, grow crops, forge weapons, and form alliances to escape this nightmare.
Do that and they’ll find their way out of the game in one piece.
But Darkworld’s creators have a twisted purpose. Game guides are less reliable than a rusty sword. An AI is hell-bent on breaking players. There are trolls, goblins, vampires, and worse, off-key bards. Even if Brad gets past them, he has the butchers to contend with. Sadistic people who paid to carve up players like Thanksgiving turkeys.
Brad can’t fail. Dying in the game doesn’t just mean GAME OVER. Fail, and it’s like being flushed down the metaverse’s toilet. Poof! Vanished like a glitchy NPC. What’s worse than being dead? Being erased like you never existed at all.
The rules are brutal. The stakes are high. Success is nearly impossible. Victory means more than loot and leveling up.
The ultimate game of survival will be won in a loincloth in this action-packed LitRPG Adventure perfect for fans of Dungeon Crawler Carl and This Trilogy is Broken! When you start a game with nothing but a loincloth, a dog who cusses like a sailor, and only your wits, there’s only one way to go.

Lots of potential
I like the story. The concept is good and the survival element with player hunters is interesting. It's no DCC and the writing is a bit clunky at times. But, this story has loads of potential. I found the narration of the dog a little bit much at times but overall it was an entertaining listen.
The MC is a bit basic, considering that he's a gamer he shouldn't require his dog to be the brains at times.
With all said and done, I am invested can't wait for book 2.

Fine but gets better as the story goes
The basic premise is solid and there is some good camp building. The interaction between the MC and dog definitely grows on you.
I just found some of the MCs behaviour odd given his background.

Got a foul-mouthed chihuahua? I Noah a guy
Brad the Impaler by @paulsating, an @AethonBooks production. I absolutely fucking loved this novel. Slash the sidekick 7lbs chihuahua was adorable 🐶and Brad our MC was cunning 🥷. The story arc progressed provocatively and built in intensity throughout. A sign of a good writing.
The world building 🌎 was good but the mechanics I loved. The mechanics of the slayer in game was a right treat for 🎧 listeners as it kept your butt right on the edge of your seat. As it progressed, the information such as location and level were teased out to the 🗡️ slayer.
The narrator #WillCollyer did a very good job bringing the story to life. My first Sating novel but it will not be my last. The imagination to come up with this concept was nothing short of brilliant. Bravo! 📚 5/5 ⭐️ #BookReview #BookRecommendation

okay but not a patch on DCC
was really excited to read another story by this author after I devoured Dungeon Crawler Carl but was very disappointed. story is good but I could not stand Slash and his BS just ruined the whole book and audio performance. I honestly did not think I would finish it but powered through and found I won't be reading another of this series. nothing against the story telling or world they felt top notch but characters really dragged it down.

Extremely annoying dog howling
I had to return this book and if you listen to it you'll understand.
The dog howling voice of the narrator happens so often it becomes extremely annoying. The narrator isn't bad, it just grates, also It's hard to follow the story, the pacing isn't right. I keep falling a sleep listening to him.
