I have been lurking this thread and I have seen both perspectives, I understand why people would be frustrated with the pricing models but at the same time I have seen that there are authors and translators who get hurt by scraping sites on this web. I am relatively new to the webnovel scene so I will probably just stick to the big platforms like the Webtoon app and my local library’s digital collection of comics. This way I can just download and read the comics I am interested in without any hassle. Thanks for the discussion everyone, it has given me lots to think about.

I despise it when franchises do this for the collectible's sake. Make collecting hard to do. Will I have to purchase this textbook in print and thus break my all-audio streak? Or do I simply have to ignore this and pretend that the screenplays are the only books to be collected here? Such first-world problems but yes, it is annoying. The other audiobooks are 10/10. It's a mystery as to why this one hasn't been recorded with a decent narrator and then put up for sale. Easy money for Wizarding World and the completist like myself. Alas, an incomplete audio collection it shall remain.

While the books I review are available, there are often multiple versions of the recording available depending on the platform. For example, on Scribd I believe there are two different versions of some of the older classics which have been re-recorded over the decades. Newer versions have better sound, but often the older versions have more character from the individual narrator. It is not like new film adaptations of the books, it is the same book but read by someone else. So the search to find out if a book is available often turns into which version of the book would I like to ‘read’.

A good grovel is rarely found in new releases. They are typically embedded deep within the backlist of romance novels, especially older historicals with stubborn heroes. They need to be dragged through emotional mud before they finally come to their senses. Most of these novels make great audiobooks, with voice actors bringing the old story to life with the appropriate amount of drama. So, even though the rest of the world is moving forward to the latest and greatest, the 80s, 90s and early 2000s are a great place to look for some good, old fashioned, over-the-top grovels. A digitally remastered audiobook of an older novel is a wonderful thing to discover.

I’d highly recommend listening to Michael Punke’s ‘The Revenant’ as an audiobook. As a general rule, I prefer historical fiction to be read to me as an audio book. There’s something about the natural flow of the story, as if you’re being told a story orally, that is more engaging than simply reading it myself. The various versions of ‘The Revenant’ that there are do a great job of both action and introspection, it’s more of a slow burn against nature than a bunch of ‘Hollywood chase scene’ type scenes. Be sure to check out a sample first though – some audiobooks have cracking narrators while others don’t, and it makes all the difference to a survival story in particular. Mine was well done – it was a great match for the book and sort of mirrored Glass’s tiredness as I listened. As an added bonus, The Revenant is sometimes bundled with some great frontier history podcasts on the various audiobook platforms, which I found really enhancing my listening experience of the book.

AVAILABILITY: Yes. RECOMMENDATION: This is tough to recommend in audio format. The narration is great (Jeff Hays does a great job with a large cast and is able to bring out the nuances of their voices), but the story itself is an acquired taste. It’s a vicious parody of RPG-style monster evolving with a protagonist who is about as moral as a blender. The audiobook does a good job of smoothing out some of the rough edges of the written work, but at its heart it is still a story about a mimic that wants shiny things and to kill things. If you find the premise of that story to be amusing then you’ll likely enjoy this. But, be warned, the protagonist is not a normal hero to say the least. It’s a very system-based fantasy story with an unconventional hero. So, if you are into that sort of thing then this is a solid listen.

My answer is negative. I think that with the right narrator, this could be a fantastic audio book. A historical book can be so much better than it is in print if it has a great narrator. A fantasy book can become an epic. This book has that potential but without the publisher stumping up for the cost of the narrator, I don’t think it will happen. I’ve seen no industry reports of the audio rights for this title being picked up and those deals are generally reported in trade publications such as Publishers Weekly. The lack of any reports in the industry is more corroborating evidence that, for now, it is not going to happen.

I'm thrilled to share that 'Passion' is indeed available as an audiobook! It's a fantastic way to experience the story, especially if you're commuting or just want to relax with your eyes closed. The narration adds a whole new layer of emotion, making the romantic moments even more intense. I listened to it on Audible, and the voice actor did an amazing job capturing the characters' personalities.
If you're new to BL audiobooks, 'Passion' is a great starting point. The production quality is top-notch, and the pacing keeps you hooked. I also recommend checking out 'Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation' and 'Heaven Official's Blessing' if you enjoy immersive audio experiences. Audiobooks can really bring these stories to life in a way that reading sometimes can't, especially with the right narrator.

I wasted an entire afternoon of my life trying to find the perfect “free” audiobooks for you. That meant scouring out all the free trials and then putting every popular audiobook on hold at the library to see how fast they would come in. Along the way I found a ton of very poorly made “free” audiobooks that I wouldn’t recommend to my worst enemy. But if you’re looking for a particular book, then search for that book followed by the word “audiobook” on YouTube. There are often samples of audiobooks for books you want to buy — in the form of free chapters — from the authors or publishers of said books. Other people just made full, unabridged versions of books. I haven’t figured out how I feel about those. They could be a good way to test out an audiobook’s narration before buying it, I suppose. But then you should support the creator if you liked it. For purely free and legal audiobooks, your public library can’t be beat. Put holds on the popular ones and then wait for them to come in, it’s like getting a present from past you.
