Heart of the Machine: A Humorous Isekai LitRPG

Terminate the Other World!, Book 4

By: Icalos

Narrated by: Savy Des-Etages

The line between one cyborg's machinery and humanity grows perilously thin—and deadly—as this action-packed LitRPG adventure series continues.

Not too long ago, the cyborg NSLICE-00P—Non-Standard Leashed-Intelligence Cybernetic Enforcer—was an unstoppable machine of war. But when a fateful murder caused her to be launched into a whole new reality, she slowly began to realize that she could be something more . . . if she wanted.

Fighting alongside the Empire against the deranged Heralds of the New Dawn cult, NSLICE-00P is still one tough, extremely violent unit. But when she decides to save the life of a friend by embedding her with NSLICE tech, some very deep cracks appear. Why do these enhancements cause her friend such physical and mental pain? Can't she simply go on like NSLICE-00P's various cyborg/animal/insect experiments have? Is it because she's human—like NSLICE-00P used to be?

Now, in addition to squaring off against the enemy, NSLICE-00P finds herself in a battle with her own programming, memories, and increasingly powerful and chaotic emotions, which run contrary to her very existence. She'll have to face the fact that she may be becoming something more human than machine. But since the machine parts are the only things keeping her alive in this perilous reality, does she really want to?

The fourth volume of the hit LitRPG fantasy series—with more than two million views on Royal Road—now available on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and Audible!

good story

can't wait for the next story to listen and know what happens to the main character and friends.

Fantastic

Emphatic Statement: This unit would like to thank friendly unit Icalos for his constant supply of reading materials which have caused a noticeable uptick in happiness of this unit.

Seriously though, this book was excellent. I really enjoyed the direction the author has taken and how the characters have evolved. It is definitely one of my altime favorite LitRPG series. I can't wait for more.

Only a spoiler for the first paragraph.

If you read book 3 this isn't a problem if you haven't why are you reading the reviews for book 4?

So opening themes for our 4th adventure of absurdly overpowered cyborg can beat up everything in the fantasy world starts with: turns out repressing your emotions whether as a trauma or to put a fake smile on so as to not worry the people around you is a form of self-harm and there are consequences to our lives and to our relationships for not allowing ourselves to process and feel our own feelings.

anyway continue on with our fun little book.

Absolutely a fun series, and as I was describing this to my wife I realized that if I had read this in a book review I would have been excited for it, after I recovered from the unintentional collateral damage

Fun

It’s a fun installment, not a standalone. Still a coming of age, self discovery series. We learn a bit more about the world and characters. Good pacing, nice world building. Awesome narrator. Please enjoy

1 Hour + long stat sheet.

I'm glad there's only one big state sheet, and it's at the end, since it's over an hour of the listening time.
