Conscription

Carnival Series, Book 1

By: C.J. Milnes

Narrated by: Charles Robert Fox

John was a pretty easy going kind of a guy. Work from home desk job. Single dad to a precocious but overall tolerable daughter. Doing ok for himself in most ways by the standards of the old world. Then the System arrived.

The everyday world he's known for decades has changed so he must change as well. He will need friends and allies to help keep himself and his daughter safe. He has to find ways to synergise his teleportation power with the abilities of the rest of his team as they fight off waves of monsters. All of this just to survive the introduction of the System to an Earth that isn’t ready for it. What comes after that is anyone’s guess.

No more same-as-yesterday. No more doom-prepping. No more living as a shut-in. It's time to go out and embrace his new power and the apocalypse that has been forced upon him. Conscription is the start of a brand new LitRPG adventure that follows the lives of ordinary people as the world collapses around them. It's a crunchy LitRPG-lite. Stat sheets are prevalent at the start but feature less as the story progresses. There are just a few guidelines (stats) per power and as people level up and their power grows the maths will actually add up. It's written with a humorous tone but there is plenty of action and drama mixed in as well.

It's a good character developments, but the plot is a bit

It's a good character to film it, but the plot is a bit paint by numbers. You start to know what the heck is going to happen with the characters. It's a great choice of everything he does is just halfway through. I knew who the real bad guy was. I knew something was wrong with certain characters. And it just made the ending so much more boring if it weren't for the character development, I just would have said nope halfway through
