Synopsis

The magical world of Yensere holds the key to saving humanity from a horrific apocalypse. Too bad Nick can only get there in his dreams. 

When an ancient alien artifact chooses research cadet Nick to explore the world stored within it—a place full of forgotten empires, heroes with strange powers, and monstrous creatures that he is automatically transported to when he sleeps—he finds he has no choice but to grow stronger within the realm of Yensere to uncover its mysteries. 

But Yensere isn’t all fun exploration. In this land guided by statistics and levels, Nick is seen as a demonic threat by its diseased inhabitants and always killed on-sight. When he dies in Yensere, he awakens in his bed upon the research station, his body in a state of panic; when he sleeps again, Yensere drags him back for another life...and another death. 

Nick can only keep this up for so long before he dies for real. But there’s a good chance Yensere holds the key to saving humanity from a terrible fate, and so he ventures on, getting stronger and stronger with each new enemy defeated. And there are a LOT of enemies to defeat…
About the series: Join Nick as he adventures through the incredible world of Yensere in this progression fantasy isekai. Featuring multiple POVs, traditional LitRPG elements, magic and fantasy weaponry combat, friendships, light romance, and sarcastic robot guides, this is the perfect series for anyone wishing they could explore the galaxy and fight terrifying liches at the same time.

3.5 Stars This is an enjoyable progression style fantasy that plays around with the concepts of leveling. I have previously enjoyed the subgenre of LitRPGs.

4 ⭐️ This was my first foray into the LitRPG genre and it was a lot of fun. Dalglish does an excellent job of capturing the fun of a Souls Like world (mixed with other video game elements you’ll recognize as a gamer) while managing to maintain stakes and intrigue. If you like the blending of a sci f......more

Goodreads review by LordTBR on December 05, 2024

Level: Unknown by David Dalglish is a hysterical, emotionally-charged sci-fi/LitRPG mashup that is part nostalgic RPG meets Edward Ashton’s Mickey7 and Danny Boyle’s Sunshine; a perfect entry point for any reader looking to try out GameLit and one that will satiate veterans of the genre.......more

First, thank you David Dalglish. Secondly, thank you to NetGalley and Orbit for providing me with an eArc. Dalglish writes damn fun adventures. Nick, along with the other characters I latched on to, surprisingly faster than I have in any of his other books. I think my biggest praise is the great charac......more
