At what point will we get a major plot?

Revisado: 08-14-24

I got books 1-3 in a box set and that was a great deal. I must admit though I was starting to get concerned by book 3 at the pacing of the progress for the main characters. There are 50 tiers to then ascend to a higher relm. You'd think by book 4 the characters would be at tier 15 or more. Nope, I'm half way though the book and the characters are still at teir 7. most of this book is one big long training arc with some filler fun sprinkled in. Also the fights with other people is like an action movie. The main character is mowing through them all as if they were not even teir 6. Most don't even use abilities. I would imagine that the wars and battles by now would look like Overwatch when everyone spams their ultimates at the same time. I think this is the last book I'm going to read of this series. I sense a rushed ending or the author walking away from the series.

Fun, sexy, with great writing.

Revisado: 07-08-24

For what this story is an Ecchi epic fantasy; it's one of the better ones. The story doesn't revolve around depraved sex with the plot being an after thought. There is great character development, great pacing, build up, and meaning behind the romantic moments that they become all the better. You can tell the enjoyment the author had in writing this story. The audio editor should know that at 3h 2m left the editor failed to upload the correct file. Insted of a character responding you hear about 3 seconds of mouse clicks and a mouse sliding across the mouse pad; you can't miss it so funny.

An enfuriating lack of ergancy.

Revisado: 07-01-24

As the listener I will go over a few things I found to be lazy or annoying.
A. The male narrator is definently the weaker of the two. It's not bad but not good just mid.
B. The characters talk a lot in formal speach when talking to loved ones. The dialog can feel stilted and boring.
C. Predestined greatness that takes the MC from 0 to 150 instantly. Why give the guy this much power so early if he does nothing with it until he is eight years older? The author chose to go with a time jump right after the level gains so this power jump does nothing for the story.
D. When the village experiences crisis the MC decides to take more then all the time in the world to chat with EVERYONE with a question. Listen to advice on doing it the stealthy way. What was the point of giving this guy all that power if he is going to be so careful and slow? When a crisis is happening you are efficient with conversation to get only the importent information and get to saving more people. Then after the crisis is over chat about the rest.
E. Broke the number one unspoken rule in LITRPG. Allowing the MC to use a storage ring as a instant one shot kill cheat against any enemy of any level regardless of the MC's level.
F. Why did the author decide to give the MC 16 year old a probably 40 year old mother of a girl in his village that is around his own age. Someone has a mommy complex.
G. Did AI write this? It is so poorly written I seriously question the author actually writing it; especially the dialog.

In summation this is not worth a read since the genre of Issekai fantasy LITRPG is over saturated with better stories.

Read the physical copy if possible.

Revisado: 06-11-24

This is a great story that I enjoyed a lot. Nick Podehl is a vet at narrating and one of my favorite. He did Chaos Seed, Immortal Great Soul, and King's Dark Tidings to name a few. In none of those does Nick do this robot voice during dialogue. I don't know if this is out of protest or a decision by the producer but I'm disapointed with it. It's like they used deep fake AI to produce the narrration but used a word search for all skills and edited in the same cut of Nick reading the skill as if he was a skill list. Every time a skill is mentioned in dialogue or anything you get robot voice. I can not stress how off putting this is and how much it takes you out of the moment. Just get the physical copy if you can and enjoy it that way.

I'll be watching for book 2.

Revisado: 02-29-24

This is a fun first book for a system apocalypses series. The way the MC cheats death was why I removed a star but left it overall 5 stars since I don't think that will happen again. I also hope that the future books will have more of a verity of women then athletic muscle. Good character development, progression, world building, and while not unique; it's well executed.

A fantastic book.

Revisado: 01-17-24

I will be buying a hard copy for the nieces and nephews when they get a bit older. This is like Harry Potter in that you can give this to a 10 year old or a 15 year old or an adult and as long as they are into well written YA they will love this. I am not easy to impress but this has me invested in the series. My only petty complaint is the description of the characters appearances is a bit lacking. I couldn't tell you anything about Z's appearance accept he has a lot of scars and he is short. I can tell you at least that the kraken's eye color is green. Not worth dropping a star over it still earned 5.

You'll like or love it.

Revisado: 01-14-24

This book is totally worth the credit. An interesting concept and world. Well executed but felt rushed in places. Still better then if the author dragged their feet then rushing the ending. As a personal preference can there be a dryad love interest. Besides my personal preferences of romantic stuff. Think Beware of Chicken when picking this series up. Also I appreciate how the story takes president over the skills. Tired of the LITRPG fluffing the length of their story with ever growing character profiles and skill spread sheets. Keep it simple and fun; which this book did a good job of doing.

It gets sooo good!

Revisado: 12-13-23

For most including myself this is a very slow burn. I put the book down in favor of other series I've been working on. I am so glad I came back to read this series. I am on book 3 now and trust me when I say once you reach book 2 you will be completely hooked. The humor is fun, progression is interesting, concept unique, good character cast, and great world building. Also I love the hidden references to other great progression fantasy books and they are rare enough to make them fun and not exhausting. I would love this author to write another series after this story is finished.

Seriously how many years will we wait?

Revisado: 11-27-23

Why does it take more then 2 years to come out with a book? This is one of my favorite progression fantasy books but the time between is a lot. Is it too much to ask for the third book by early 2025? It's a tournament arc for the mind's sake.

Another book that feels rushed

Revisado: 08-07-23

The beguining felt really rushed but the pacing starts to slow down the farther into the book you get. I feel like this could be the best series in the genre if there were just 4 more hours of story to this book to fix the pacing. Still the conedy is funny AF, the characters are great, and the world is interesting. I will be looking for book 2 even though I suspect it will be another 10 to 12 hour book that feels a bit rushed. It's still better then 98 percent of the stuff out there.
