It was ok

Revisado: 12-27-22

Not a bad LitRPG but it uses many of the already used tropes and although it was good, it’s not good enough to spend 8+ credits to listen to the whole series. If the books were combined into 20hr books I might’ve purchased all of them.

Disturbing

Revisado: 01-24-22

Indirect spoiler alert:
I’ve enjoyed listening to this series more than once, and Nick Podehl is phenomenal, but paying attention to every detail in my last listen, I found book 7 disturbing and offensive. Not only are there brutal torture scenes, but the racial metaphors become quite clear, and the author’s character and intentions unfortunately come into question. After spending over 100 hours listening and then distracted by the brutality , it’s easy to overlook Aleron’s implications, but chapter 92 reveals everything. It’s the scene with Heman, who is described as having white skin, while Richter is described as having a “black face.”.

Aieron can say he’s trying to be thought-provoking, and may even accuse this response as an example of white fragility, but the hate in the subject chapter is more egregious, and cannot be overlooked.

The subsequent 8th book, which is total trash, is like a FU to his readers, as if to say, “Yeah, I really did that, after you bought 8 of my books.”

LOL. Thanks for the story, psycho.

First 2 books = 5*

Revisado: 11-23-21

Starts out slow in Book 1 to the point of thinking about returning it, but by the end of Book 2, I consider it one of the best LitRPG on Audible.

I’ve read the Land, VGO, Dark Herbalist, Ascend Online, Access Online, plus about 15 other LitRPGs and this is the best one in a couple of years.

After listening to this for the fourth time..

Revisado: 06-06-21

I love this book so much but Kaladin drives me crazy with his bad. bad choices. It takes more and more patience to forgive him for giving Moash, the guy who wants to kill the king, full shards. Adelin asks him “What’s wrong with you?” and that’s what I ask every time I listen to this book. Anyone but Moash. Why not Teft or one of the others who had not disobeyed direct orders. It just doesn’t make sense.

Home run for Dakota Krout

Revisado: 04-11-21

The Completionist Chronicles is definitely one of my favorite LitRPG series, and Book 6 makes it even better. Along with the interesting and highly technical gaming aspects that always become available to Joe’s Ritualist, this book carries on with suspense, plot-twists, and humor that exceed most other LitRPG. In addition, a new character, General Havoc, is introduced, and he steals the show as the misunderstood crazy Elf General. We also get a visit from Jackson in the last few chapters. I didn’t want this one to end and hope there will be more to the series.

Very good LitRPG

Revisado: 04-04-21

Chronicle is a well written adventure story with excellent game mechanics, characters, and sub-plots. If you like campy, Book 2 is great with a gang of friends making an epic trek on an impossible quest. Book 3 is just as good as the first two books with the introduction of drunkard Prince, and a lonely evil dungeon. If not for the sappy obsession the MC has with his best friend, a unique NPC, I’d have given this series a full five stars. That is overdone, IMO. Most importantly though, I have found this series to be quite an enjoyable and easy read, and one that could possibly be good enough to listen to again. There are so many good LITRPG books, though, I don’t know if I’ll get around to it, but I’ll surely read a BOOK 4 if it is ever released. Nick Podehl is great as always in defining characters further with his voice acting. Well done!

Not as good as the first

Revisado: 07-07-20

The biggest difference is that the first book has a well-crafted villain and the second not so much. I never really became invested in the plights of the World Knights and there was too much battle play by play and not enough plot and character development. The novelty of them being stuck in the game for centuries gets a bit old w/o serious conflict and real risk, and I couldn’t help but think people would find more to do in a hundred years than level up or get drunk.

Not so good

Revisado: 06-14-20

This book doesn’t match up with the rest of the series at all. Seems like Aleron made some dough then lost the motivation and inspiration. It’s not bad just not as good as the others. Like it says “Do better” next time if there is one. Could be he just moves on to next series?

Best audiobook I’ve listened to this year

Revisado: 06-10-20

Book 6 of The Cycle of Garland does not disappoint and thrusts the series into an elite class of epic fantasy. Dante and Blaze join other duos of the genre to become unforgettable.

I’ve been disappointed with many books the last couple of years, but not with this one. Superb writing, storytelling and narration.
