Fight, survive, adapt, and rely only on yourself. That is Derek’s creed and what's got him through the System Integration on Earth. Everything changed when the System came. Cute bunnies and beautiful butterflies became savage killing machines. Then the Invaders arrived with a single goal: to obtain ownership of this new habitable planet. War has raged ever since. None of this mattered much to Derek, aside from making living a little more perilous.

Felix's life on Earth had become a series of dead-end jobs, ruined relationships, and rotating apartments smaller than most postage stamps. By all accounts, even his own, he was a coward. Too afraid to move forward, to take risks. Yet when given the chance to choose between risking his life or walking away from a deadly encounter, he didn't hesitate. Moments before his untimely demise, Felix was snatched from earth and thrust into a magical world known only as "The Continent". Empowered by the "System", he learns that he can strengthen himself through combat and dedication.

Publisher's summary
A tight-knit group of buddy gamers. A relentless galactic conqueror. One big ol' ax and a whole bag of magic.
Chris and his friends had been hearing voices begging for help, but aren’t dreams supposed to stay dreams? When they finally answer the call, they’re pulled into a fantastic world with themes similar to modern role-playing games. The world of Brindolla. This is what every gamer has always wanted...right?
There's one major problem: War. The big baddie of the universe has come to collect another planet for his relentless march. The Brindollan Gods have the power to hold him back only for a short while, which they can only hope will be long enough to give Chris and his buddies a fighting chance. Either this team gets rid of War’s vanguard of minions and generals, giving the Gods a chance to keep him out for good...or War comes for Earth.
The group is ready to dive into combat, magic, and any other obstacles that come their way. No matter what needs to be done, Chris and his buddies will always do it together.
Warning: This book contains profanity.

Worse, his only weapon is a magical branding iron, which seems to have one skill and one skill only, to overwrite slave brands. Thing is, monster girls seem pretty grateful about being freed from the tyranny of their masters, and with each one he brands, the stronger he becomes.

Implausible
I read/listen to a lot of LitRPG and fantasy. I’m a fan of the genre but I had a number of problems with this one. I only made it through about 4 hours and returned it. I found the main character’s reactions to just about everything completely unnatural, unbelievable and unrelatable. When your mentor asks you to kill them because they’re being corrupted by a source you’re aware of, you don’t just respond with “ok”. You go to the source of the corruption and try to save them... or you AT LEAST argue about it first. And then when you do kill them, you don’t take their skin and go make armor out of it!! Also the liberal use of “bro” “broseph” “broski” etc was a general turn off for me. Just the general banter between characters was annoying to me.

Underwhelming
I don't like leaving a negative review without giving my reasons doing so. So I guess here is where I am at for my reasons saying that I was not very interested by this book.
1) I constantly found it incredibly difficult to keep my attention. I was drifting and on several occasions fell asleep and had to backtrack. The combat situations move very quickly and its easy to get lost as to exactly what is happening. I found that I had to backtrack a lot and sometimes I just missed parts because I couldn't keep track of what was going on.
2) Support characters - there are a number of the main characters IRL friends that get ported into the world with him. I felt that they were incredibly hollow and lacked depth. The author didn't really set them up well or go in depth into who they are plus I felt the names weren't easy to keep track of who is who. It doesn't help that all of them come in at the same time and there is kind of no character building of them in my opinion. I felt that they had very bland personalities and they really just kind of melded in as other people with him.
3) Boring Main Character - normally speaking you want the main character to stand out. From what I saw it seemed like he had no real advantages over his friends and in a lot of cases he seemed weaker or the same as his friends. It doesn't help that all of his friends seemed to have the same mentalities and personality as the main character. I just found the support characters to be like..... duplicate copies of the main character with different classes but all of which were equal in terms of power. In a lot of books you get a main character that distinguishes themselves due to an ability, unique class, unique ability, intelligence or something. I found that the main character probably could have been any of them and it probably wouldn't have changed anything in this book.
4) Combat - When they would get into combat sometimes it was fine and I could track what was going on but at times it was just a cluster of me not knowing what they were fighting and or what was happening. Extended combat seemed like the worst on this front.
Ultimately, I found several points a bit underwhelming and I am not even sure if I plan to finish. I am writing this review half way through the book and I don't know if I have intention to finish. If I do, I guess I will update this review if I find reason to do so.

Rambling, fun, party LitRPG
Into the Light is a hefty read, and packs a lot of story in. It's got some pulp (stats) to it, but I never felt it was drowning me in numbers the way some LitRPGs do. The main allure of the book is the characters and their brotherly interactions. At times, their mannerisms felt pretty strange, and the way they used Earth colloquialisms nonstop around people who had no clue of their meaning felt weird and not the way real people would act. But overall, their interactions had a fun vibe and some easygoing humor.
The plot rambles, and felt a bit off-the-cuff rather than planned, but I did enjoy the arc of it overall. There is time devoted to "sidequests" for powering up, which I appreciated, as many LitRPGs can't seem to write a side quest without fumbling to find a way to tie it into the world quest and make everything that happens super important. The story ended very abruptly, with a pretty big cliffhanger, which is never cool, but I didn't feel so invested in the characters that it broke my heart the way it might have with a smaller cast. I think that might be the downside of having ~6+ main characters. At times I got the feeling the writer was writing about his real life friends, and their personalities didn't get much explanation or background because in his mind they were already established.
I look forward to the next book, and hope to see more development for each of the main characters...or honestly, a death or two to trim the roster wouldn't be so horrible. I frequently forgot James was a character and could never keep the other characters straight except for Yosuke. Despite my complaints, it was good clean fun (other than some torture), and I'd like to listen to more.

It takes extremely long to get good, but it does
edit: The highlight of the series is book 2 is about as good as the end of this book. but afterwards it goes down hill from there. I haven't yet been able to finish book 3. It is much harder to finish than the poor quality of the first half of book 1.
I would rate book 1 as overall 4, performance 4, story jumps up to a 5 at the end. But I lowered this book to a 3 for overall and story since it is just the opener for the series and the story goes downhill afterwards dragging you along with not much development.
original review:
It takes about half the book for it to get good.
The second ~half of the book is really good and
The last quarter of the book more than makes up for the unengaging first half.
the first half of the book suffers in tone and exposition. The main character don't take things seriously until almost half way through the book, which makes the tone hard to engage with. He introduces too many of his friends all at once (making it hard to keep track of who is who), also the first few chapters violate "Show don't Tell" telling us his friend's personality instead of showing it (obviously eventually it gets shown too).
The tone affected by the characters not taking things seriously causes the beginning to be a bit unengaging, which is obviously not good.
The narrators slow languished pace does not help things. He intially reads it like an neutral observer which when combined with the characters attitudes creates the tone as if it is all just a game--until things jappen that make them reevaluate and they stop treating a real world as such. Narrator's tone does improve near end of book, he may have been reading the same tone into the main character's attitude as the narrator's tone combined with that attitude portray's.
Clearly the author started off relatively new at fiction writing and then improved as he wrote the book, but for whatever reason couldn't bring himself to or didn't think to re-write the beginning of the book. I am going to go buy the next book now.
Still worth the listen.
My suggestion, once it gets past exposition, speed the book up to 1.5x or however fast you can listen to, until the book starts getting good.
I found x1.25 to be a good pace to listen to the narrator at, as he has a naturally slow enunciation speeding it up improves the action feel of the book.
Last thing worth mentioning: book has strong language a lot of cursing. All of the curses. It may be realistic, but it really doesn't do anything positive for the book, the main characters all curse so much that there isn't any impact to any of it.
My note to author: maybe turn it down. When the dial is always at 11, 11 is just the new 1.

Great story once you get into it.
For me it was a rough start getting through the introduction of characters. However, once the story transitioned the main plotline was very enjoyable and the narrator did an excellent job. I enjoy the military influence in the author's writing and hope he continues writing fantasy books. Looking forward to getting into the sulfurous book 2.

Not a bad book, but not a great one either.
it took me awhile to figure out why I didn't really enjoy this story, and maybe it is just me. The entire story felt, in a word, rushed. I felt like I was listening to a brief recap of someone's D&D campaign where the teller forgot the details and forgot to put actual character to the characters. For me the characters just weren't believable and there was no sense of danger towards any of them. I would have liked to see some character growth in the story but everything is pretty much handed to them on a silver platter with nothing that seemed to me to be a challenge. I wish the author the best for the future but sadly I dont think I'll be following this series.

Not so great
I made it through about 25% of the book before finally giving up. As litrpg's go there are elements I did really like such as the reason for the MC and his group to go where they do, and the world building itself is pretty interesting. I also like the choices given for the MC and the skill system provided as well as the combat descriptions. But there were 3 things that I simply couldn't get past that ruined it for me:
1 - The performance of the reader. I'm sorry but the reader simply doesn't have any real gravitas or distinct character. It's a bit weak and his tone too cavalier. His his inflections and tone feel like a surfer is reading the novel with a "surf's up" type of feel. It's just bizarre. It was too immersion breaking for me.
2 - The writing of the characters dialog and behavior was very sophomoric. Yeah, I get these are supposed to be young ex marine gamers, but seriously you don't have to make everything a "yeah dude" and make them so instantly adapt to a totally life changing event like this as if it's a frat party. I can't help but compare this type of story to other litrpgs like The Ten Realms or Limitless Lands that also have ex-military forced into games but done so much better. The author should really take a look at those titles.
3 - Not enough focus on MC. This is a personal preference and pet peeve of mine, but I really hate it when there at too many characters right away being discussed and talked about. I want to follow the MC and see his\her journey and watch them explore and level up. I don't want to have to hear about x person's gear choices and fashion choices and x persons abilities for each and every group member continuously as they go along. I can handle maybe a close companion or two, but not a group.
Bottom line, I'm taking a break from it and might pick it up again, but overall this title wasn't for me. But you may have a different view on it.

Axe Druid scores a critical hit!
I very much enjoyed this audiobook. Into the Light is the first entry for the Axe Druid series and it has done a number of things very well. The main character and his gaming buddies have been pulled into another realm that utilizes role playing game mechanics as physical law. Their quest is to save the realm from destruction, no pressure right? Christopher Johns has done a great job developing the main characters. Although we follow a main character who is occasionally solo, I find emotional buy in with the rest of the team through the story. Each character felt unique and it was fun to listen to the group antics as they worked towards their goal. I'll also say here that there is copious cursing throughout the book, but it seemed appropriate to the scenes and characters when and where it was used, though some people may find it a turn off.
I liked the level of 'game' content, it was well balanced for my taste. I've enjoyed series with a lot more stat blocks and character sheet reading, and ones with less. At no point was I considering skipping forward to get through data table narration. Yet there was enough of that content to maintain the game experience. The characters get gear and abilities that sound awesome, are impactful to the story, and leave you wishing you could play a game with that content.
If I were to offer some constructive criticism for the story, it would have to be about the pacing. I feel like there are portions of the book that we could've pumped the brakes and spent a little more time on that content. The end result is that when killer gear or boons are bestowed it hardly seems they've used the previous stuff before getting upgraded. I say that slightly flippantly because the scenes where gear and power are bestowed is good dialogue and character building. I would merely suggest that the scenes between major character upgrades feel like they go quick.
I'd also like to praise the voice actor and narrator B J Harrison, he killed it. He did a great job with accents and voices. His range added to the experience tremendously.
I'm eagerly awaiting the next book!
Mountaindale Press gave me this audible title in exchange for an honest review.

The land has a new peer
If you liked the land you'll love this one as well. The land was all about subverting normal litrpg stereotypes and tropes where This book embraces those tropes and beautifully fulfills them and demonstrates by so many of them reoccur. 100 percent recommend
