A group of D&D gamers (or C&C in the books) get transfered into the game world by their DM.
Unfortunately they just beheaded a town guard before in the game and now are in deep trouble.
I really like the setting - real pen and paper RPG player getting over into a fantasy world - like the classical first of this kind Guardians of the Flames by Joes Rosenberg.
What i didn't liked was the immature behaviour of the group of MCs. I really dislike people like this Cooper guys that think making somone feel bad is funny. Also "yo mama" jokes in the face of death is totally unlikely. The end has a nice twist to it.
It was a fast read so maybe i will read more of the series to see if the MCs grow up. ( )

I loved this book and will definitely be continuing the series. I was laughing in the car at the antics ( )

This is the third in real life D&D players transferred to a fantasy game world series that I've read recently. My favorite series is Drew Hayes's "NPCs", this one would come in 2nd not as good a story as NPCs but it was funnier and still had a decent story and a great trick to keep Mordred from killing them in the end. . Rosenberg's "Guardians of the Flame" comes in last the story wasn't as good as NPCs and neither was the humor. Now onto book 2 Critical Failures II: Fail Harder. ( )

I listened to the audiobook. I don't recommend that. I think there's a lot of things about this book that could have been better enjoyed without the style the narrator used in the Audible recording. I think there are a lot of things that wouldn't be fixed even by reading it in print.

The story is generic litRPG fare with an overabundance of farting, vomiting, and homophobia. ( )

This is the (by now) cliched story: a group of D&D players actually become their characters. There are a few better versions of this story, and while this wasn’t a horrible, there was essentially nothing worthwhile about it. Skip. ( )
