Status Updates From The Hapless Hero

I'm listening to the audio book of this story. It sounds robotic, as in AI generated, though it may not be. My kids would be in an uproar if I read a book to them the way this reader does. So while AI is 'the new cool,' I still prefer listening to someone read a story with the correct inflections.
The most unfair thing about it is that the story itself is probably a whole lot better than I'm getting in the audio.

While the concept is interesting, and the basic story telling is good, this edition reads like a high school sophomore wrote it. It is full of grammatical and spelling errors, such that I as a former language teacher could not go on.
Examples: Ch 10 "Gideon spared with him" Context: sparred
Ch 17: "Being place back in chains" - being placed

Either there was no proofreader, or he/she needs a different job.
