Summary
Life’s tough when you’re trapped in an eight-year-old body on another world.
His name is Eight. Not really, but that’s what the System decided after a slip of the tongue. One moment, he was stepping out the office door on the way home, and the next waking up on a hillside below a town wall. Oh, and the gate guard drove him off, because he thought Eight was a monster.
What’s a boy to do in a world full of magic and so many, many hungry creatures searching for their next meal? Well, there’s an old man inside that body, and he'll use everything he’s learned in his sixty-four years to survive. Starting a fire? Sure. Crafting a spear? Check. Defending the cave he calls home? Also check, a big one.
There are allies too, but not the kind you’d expect.
Eight is a LitRPG novel of magical survival—of discovery, bushcraft, and creatures weird and wonderful. A hit on Royal Road–with millions of views–and now it’s available on Audible (narrated by the estimable Gary Tiedemann).

Excellent all-round
The pacing was marvellous, the story interesting, the characters amazing and the narrator a joy to listen to.
Had some doubts about the progression system being a boring type of cultivation but I'm glad I was wrong. It was done extremely well without delving too deep into esoteric mysticism.
All in all, thoroughly enjoyed it.

refreshingly different perspective for the genre
loved it, great story, great performance. a nice new approach, mix of litrpg & survival not full of monotonous repetition of game stats as many others in this genre, just enough to show evolution & development

slow and detailed
Its a good story but far too many monologues. The world is vast and interesting, will probably get book 2.

Enjoyable, but...
Pros: well written, unusual.
Cons: slow progression, unusual names (as a not native speaker they all sounds the same), parasites
Gonna buy the next ones as well.

This is a good first attempt but
The book is overtly complicated, I would say to the author that you don’t have to try so hard that you can write. Story is a good one, but just needlessly complicated and it’s just a hard listen even at 1.6 times the speed

Slow boring one dimensional
Perhaps it is because this is the 1st lit RPG I’ve actually tried but it’s like listening to someone monologging their life while playing a video game. So incredibly one dimensional. I’m 2 hours in and there’s no real sense of connection or fondness for the character. There are no other characters so far, just the protagonist and the fact that there’s no connections or relationship building it’s hard to feel like this is a story at all. More like listening to commentary. I’m really sad to say that I am finding it too boring to carry on. I did try skipping a couple of chapters to see if that helped but it didn’t. I hope not all RPG lit books are like this.
