Author seems to hates his own series

Revisado: 12-14-24

The series itself is pretty top notch through book 7. With books 8 & 9, it seems the writer is unraveling everything that the series was slowly building up through book 7.
Spoilers: Making one of the more interesting characters in Styx take a back seat to nearly absent and useless. Undoing alliances and setups for either alliances/partnerships that had been a slow cool burn leading up to books 8 & 9, You have 7 books building that framework with clever manipulations by Styx, trials and actions leading somewhere. Meh, now it all means nothing. Very unsatisfying.
At a guess, there's probably a hushed business portion to writing, making the dei stuff to get certain deals. I can generally get past that, as the series has been entertaining and well written. But if you're just going to burn it to the ground, why not quit writing the series ? Contractual obligations ?

Sounbooth Theater outperforms again

Revisado: 11-14-24

A very nice pg-13ish story. Soundbooth theater has a way of making good books even better. For those who follow some litrpg stuff, I'd rate it on level with Chrysalis, though totally different story and char types.

Rediculously good fun, albiet twisted. Great story and series. Sound Boothe Theater and Jeff Hays just know how to do audio books.

Fun and enjoyable

Revisado: 01-20-24

Not heavy or intense. A very pleasant and humorous adventure. Humor silly, but in an intellectual way if that makes sense. Well written and look forward to more. I'm not a DnD guy, though I'm aware and understand a bit, newer to the Litrpg genre. Genre aside, I'm finding a lot of well written and narrated stuff. The narration coming out of Soundbooth Theater may be the very best there is in audio books. No exception here, narration simply excellent. These guys could read a cookie recipe, and you'll want to hear it.

force fed politics, character voices wrong

Revisado: 04-01-23

Love Ray Porter, but Kevin's voice is now a laid back white dude, instead of from India. And Richard's voice is off as well. Otherwise, Ray's performance is good.
Like everyone else, I can't stand force fed politics, be it from author or directives from publisher.

10 percent good, 90 percent painful

Revisado: 06-30-21

rc bray, great as usual. Liked first book, but this was painful. Action for actions sake, no meaning or intensity. You assume its a sim or fake throughout, so no real consequence ever. And characters can just do anything like magic any time, just anything. Character dialogue is fun sometimes, but can't save this. I need soap to wash my brain out. A few concepts, or side lines interesting, but not explored too deep

fun and interesting

Revisado: 05-13-21

Besides Ray Porter narrating, this book feels like a bobiverse book. Different in story line, but has that fun and light hearted feel of a bobiverse book, while still bringing science and sci-fi into it.

series continues in high end form

Revisado: 12-28-20

This is one of the best series in this genre. Story, chemistry, action, and dialog make it worth multiple listens.

wonderful series

Revisado: 11-08-20

A fun and interesting series. If I had a dial, i might bump the depth of tech discussions up a bit. Dialog is a lot of fun.

excellent saga

The story continues and grows in a cohesive way to the series. Top tier performances from writer and narrator.
