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.

Maxime, you made me fall for you when you wrote about the most glorious hero to ever live, Vainqueur, in a tale which also held the greatest, most horrendous villain any book has ever seen. You did this only to take my heart and rip it out with the lie that was Never die twice, a book which promised one thing in it's synopsis and delivered...a feeling that the author wished he wasn't writing a litrpg.

But with this book I forgive you, oh how I forgive you. Purchase this book, even if you're still pissed with him over Never die twice, this book will more than make up for it.

You are forgiven for "Never die Twice"

Great performerance, an awesome story. The MC is really likeable, the other characters are very diverse and fun to see and overall awesome story with a lot of twists and great humor

Definitely worth a read

A surprising and refreshing listen that blends some mild humour with pop sci-fi; enjoyable from beginning to end with a likeable protagonist, a great cast of characters, and a really fun narrative. At times the pop culture references stray a bit into the cringy try-hard area, but this occurs rarely enough to not detract from a great story. Well worth a listen!

A Chaotic Good Time

A lot more than just another power fantasy trilogy.

Some really good ideas on the whole villain/hero thing in a creative world and a story explores the grey area between good and bad people.

I like the original and creative world, characters have an ok level of depth and the plot was pretty unique.

I particularly love the odd duality between the callous (almost loony-toons level) violence and disconnection the Main Character has, because of his abilities and his half-mad wisdom and drive for a twisted 'better' outcome.

After having read more of this series, I would say that this first book is the weakest in the series, the balance between the 'slightly mad power fantasy' and deeper impact of responsibility the MC bears, is done better in the second book.

Update: After having read the third and last book of this series, I can honestly say the first book is the worst off in this series. and that all of my positive remarks above are very much deserved!
A very zany, deep, well wrapped-up story!

good concept, with interesting takes on 'heroes'

I've listened to my fair share of audio books. I can easily say that The Perfect Run is one of the best i've listened to. The narration is amazing and the story itself is fantastic. I cannot recommend this book enough .

One of the best audio books i've listened to.
