About this listen

Ryan "Quicksave" Romano is an eccentric adventurer with a strange power: he can create a save-point in time and redo his life whenever he dies.

Arriving in New Rome, the glitzy capital of sin of a rebuilding Europe, he finds the city torn between mega-corporations, sponsored heroes, super-powered criminals, and true monsters. It's a time of chaos, where potions can grant the power to rule the world and dangers lurk everywhere.

Ryan sees many different routes, and from Hero to Villain, he has to try them all. Only then will he achieve his perfect ending...no matter how many loops it takes.

Very Deadpool-esque

50% Deadpool, 30% Groundhog Day, 10% Fallout New Vegas, 10% Bioshock.

The protagonist is essentially Deadpool if he were 40% more sane, had 30% more empathy, and didn't break the third-wall. Instead of immortality through a healing factor and insane reflexes, he has immortality through time loops and the ability the briefly stop time.

The performance is a little stiff in the first hour, but the narrator catches their stride quickly.

Great comedy

The story was a bit confusing but otherwise really great. It’s would be on the list of something I would listen to in the car or while vacuuming but I wouldn’t listen to it for more focused tasks.
Otherwise great, highly recommend.

Top Tier Comedy, Excellent Story, Great Narrator

The story is excellent, not half as repetitive as you might think a story about time travel might be.
The humour is top tier (Fair warning, it is dark at times).
And, of course, the narrator is stellar.


On a side note, if this gets made into a movie, the MC needs to be acted by Ryan Reynolds.

just do it. The sample may leave you on the fence.

Worth it. at first, I was unsure if I 'd like it, but my fears were gone after the first 15 minutes.

Worth it

Writing this after finishing the third book in the series.

Good story with a good conclusion which we don't see often.
Well written in term of style and references/tropes.
Taken individually, all books are good and kept me interested in the overall story and the moment to moment action.

Will be checking the author other works in a near future.

A rare gem

Easily my goto favorite listen for when I want to loose myself in a story with so many clues I missed the first time around. It's funny but I have to time travel with the protagonist and feel something like it when I finally see the hints fall into place. There is easy trap to just do the same thing over and over, but this story constantly reinvests in itself to fully flesh out the world and the amazing chars. As the story progresses, everything is shown to have a bit more meaning than was visible at first glance. Truly a wonderful bit of writing

The narrator too does a simply amazing job with the voices to make each char sound unique and distinct. A wide variety of accents, genders and even shoggoth voices!

A surprise favorite

I did not expect to enjoy this book as much as I did. However it's interesting characters, intriguing world that does an excellent job being fleshed out, and a story that is able to keep good momentum. It can fall into the trap of relying on pop culture references a bit to often however. There's also the excellent narration that brings real life to the story.
