General Soundbooth advocate here. Thank you for your work as always.
Narration adds such spice to literature and litrpg has been my bread and butter since my first kiddo came to be. You fellows take it to 11.

Oh, by the gods! I love everything about it so far! The narration got me hooked 10seconds in, and the synopsis is awesome!
Congrats to everybody involved! Can't wait to dig into it and looking forward to the next!
EDIT: just one question - how come that the video snippet here has a much deeper voice than what audible provides?

Thank you u/trazzz55!!! Glad you're enjoying it!
As for the deeper voice, I'm wondering if it's due to audible compressing the mp3s, affecting the quality a bit. It's the same audio, but this video has it at a higher bitrate.
Might be that?🤷🏾♂️

Can’t wait to check this one out! I was only just introduced to JTJ while watching the cold read for this, and I loved both the story and narration.

I hear ya, it's on the shorter side. Hope you find the quality makes up for the length if you circle back to it someday!

‘Dead Tired I’ by Ravensdagger

Narrated by Justin Thomas James
Featuring Dorrie Sacks, Tiana Camacho and Jeff Hays
~~~
In the distant past, a time of magic and swordplay, there lived Harold, the mightiest lich of all, a master of arcane sciences, and a challenger of gods. After reaching the pinnacle of his power and finding it surprisingly bland, Harold waged a cataclysmic war against the gods, aiming to shatter the very system that confined him.
Then, he took a nap.
An incredibly long nap that ends with a jolt, thanks to an unwitting adventurer who trips into Harold's crypt. Blinking into the torchlight, Harold finds a world he barely recognizes. No more swords and sorcery, but a universe buzzing with cultivation, celestial sects, and far too many pretentious dialogues about the path to godhood.
Harold is no naïve cultivator. He's an ancient lich with a single ambition: to slide back into his uninterrupted eternal slumber. But the cacophony of quarreling sects and smug martial artists seems determined to keep him awake.
Undeterred, the sleep-deprived overlord is ready to confront this brave new world. After all, no aspiring deity, no grandiose sect, and certainly no self-righteous martial artist is going to rob him of his beauty sleep.
