About this listen
From the number-one best-selling author of One More Last Time!
Just yesterday, Ben was a petty criminal getting by on fleecing New York’s one-percenters. Today, he's got a new face, a new name, and a new world to navigate. And Ben’s thinking maybe this time around, he’ll use his skills at disarming and deceiving to help out people other than himself. Maybe.
Watching a medieval City Guard fight off a 20-foot-tall ooze that crawled up from the sewers will make you think twice about life decisions. Tomorrow, he'll need to save a girl, steal a crown, join a guild, and most importantly, convince an innkeep to make a decent bacon egg and cheese.
Scamps and Scoundrels is the witty, action-packed entree into The Bad Guys, a new series from epic LitRPG writer Eric Ugland. If you like immersive world-building full of magic, monsters, and mischief, this is the book for you.

Balanced. Impressive Gritty Worldbuilding.
Eric Ugland introduces the seedier side of the iNcarn8 reality by telling the story of 'Clyde Hatchet' - a reluctant lowlife criminal IRL who enters the game and progresses on an ill-defined mission to become a "Robin Hood"-styled vigilante-thief.
He is introduced to Underworld Criminals/Fences, Mafia-like "Families", Street Gangs (engaged in drug running/prostitution/slavery/piracy/etc), Rogues, Thieves, and Assassins. Ugland paints a strikingly realistic picture of his duplicitous fantasy world. I REALLY enjoyed the POV shift to a darker mode.
He is a little bit immature with system update language ("Cool Beans! You have updated 'x'..", for example).. but Ugland also incorporates metagame features into the overall plot organically (Character Sheet reviews, Magic Item stats, Quest prompts, etc.). Well done.
Tantor Audio Inc. contribute to the excellence of this audiobook by giving flawless technical support to Neil Hellegers, too. True, he takes injudicious deep breaths occasionally, but Hellegers's diction, timbre, cadence, voice-acting, and tone are also outstanding on this recording.
Altogether, I can unreservedly recommend this 9.5/10-star LitRPG entry. I am thrilled that I could get it as a 'Plus' selection.. because it would easily rate a Credit.

I love this book
First and foremost the MC is mentally challenged. But you got that much from the description alone. But the author is spinning this story in such manner that it’s actually great and hilarious.
