All I Got Is This Stat Menu, Book 1

By: J.J. Ackerknecht

Narrated by: Stephanie Savannah

Infinite power at your fingertips and a target on your back.

Anya Nowicki, along with thousands of people around the globe, has found herself a host for alien technology known as the Archive.

The Archive allows its hosts to alter their minds and bodies in an instant through holographic menu systems. With the touch of a button, anyone can become super strong, gain magical abilities, purchase a giant robot, or become a master in an almost infinite number of skills ranging from advanced combat techniques to fidget-spinning.

However, Anya has also become the target for nightmarish, shape-shifting creatures that have come to Earth following the newfound extraterrestrial tech. The Archive can grant their hosts great power, but it may not be enough to survive the horde of murderous aliens hunting them down.

Homicidal Aliens Are Invading and All I Got Is This Stat Menu contains strong language and graphic violence.

Critic reviews

"Very much worth the read."—Alex Kozlowski, author of Wagga: Alpha Physics

Loved it.

It had just the right amount of system for an audiobook, a great style that I enjoyed, and some world building that has me excited for the next!

good book

I really don't like the minimum word count requirements for audible reviews. . . .

it's good

if I'd read this first, I might've liked it a lot more, but it reminded me too much of stray cat strut in so many ways and I liked that series a lot than this one so far. it's still good though.

where has this been hiding?

ok so usually books in this genre are all character building and no actual story. this has both! I found this in the freebie section and listened to it at work, then bought the rest of the series. great listen!

Surprisingly well plotted

I like that neither the protagonist nor the antagonist are OP or static in their thinking or strategy. I also like the depth of side characters and factions as independent entities that aren't 2D cutouts that only exist to oppose or help the MC. Interested in the next story. BTW if you want a fantasy variant that is similar in having a world where people other than the MC aren't just 2D NPCs try Salvos series
