Very Technical

Revisado: 08-11-22

I personally like the technical world-building aspect of this story even it does tend to make for a very dry/bland listen after a few hours of scientific experiments with the same set of skills. The main character does progress quite a bit though it doesn’t really present in any noticeable way just yet. Overall I think it’s a good setup to building the MC into somewhat of a future powerhouse so the story should expand nicely.

Good Start, Not GameLit

Revisado: 06-28-22

Overall good start to a fantasy story. The MCs have a Royce/Hadrian dynamic that is nice and balanced. This is really just a fantasy though, nothing about this really marks it as GameLit or even Progression Fantasy, as other reviews have said. I’m curious to see how the world pans out because it briefly touches on ranks/tiers of adventurers but nothing is really fleshed out, and the power levels all seem rather nebulous at this stage.

Weird

Revisado: 06-26-22

All you really need to know about this book is that you will get a 3 chapter sex scene before either main character even begins to figure out what any of their powers are.

The dialog leading up to it gets more and more cringey and I personally couldn’t get halfway into it before it was returned. Narrators both did a great job but the story itself is weak.

Zero Progress Story

Revisado: 06-25-22

I’m holding out hope that something actually progresses the story in the next book otherwise I’ll probably drop this series. MC is just stubborn and stupid in this entry which pretty much drives the whole plot. There is not really any payoff in this book, it’s just the main character making his own life hard while randomly bumbling around beating every fight with luck or by nature of being overpowered without really earning any of it. There is a lot of pieces of story set in motion maybe but you could just as easily skip this entry or summarize the gains in a paragraph or two before the next one.

Terrible Main Characters

Revisado: 03-27-22

I was hoping eventually to get to some real LITRPG type content, but between one MC acting like a naive child, and one an obnoxious edgy brat who refuses to even accept a class, it’s just a never ending repeat of the same scenarios and tropes with no character progress.

It’s a shame because there is so much world building and fun potential of this world but it’s ruined by only following in the steps of the 2 most unlikeable main characters. Gave up and returned after 20+ hours that neither one of them was ever going to “turn the corner” and that this was more of a teen drama wrapped in a LITRPG world, not an actual LITRPG book.

Sets the bar low

Revisado: 01-27-22

Really hope the MC improves in book 2, he’s a frustrating, unskilled mess. Every fight is basically won by sheer luck and the training rarely ever comes into play. MC also chose to wield a sword but only ever uses the blunt/flat of the blades so we might as well have just given him a baseball bat for all the good it does. The guy freezes up at every surprise interaction so that’s basically every drama moment, “I froze up”, “I couldn’t move”, “I couldn’t do anything but watch”.

I’m hoping this is just setting the bar extremely low for his growth since we have to spread it over what will probably be 12 books but man, it’s a slog if you wanted a competent MC.

MC is boring

Revisado: 06-14-21

The MC never really comes into his own, he’s like a third wheel in his own story the whole time, even though he’s written like he will eventually be useful. The way the authors keep referencing his changes like he’s a super human, but this guy doesn’t do anything, just keeps this weird superior tone with everybody he meets because he can ask basic questions that anybody would ask.

I guess I expected something like a cross between cultivation and space sci-fi but this is really just a guy getting dragged around by people playing his own little tough guy monologue in his head. Even worse is that he just lets everybody get off with changing the subject when it comes to plot details so there’s very minimal about the world revealed.

I’m curious if something will actually happen in book 2, but I’m not hopeful.

Confusing MC

Revisado: 01-02-21

For me, the main character gets more unlikeable with every new iteration of this series. He sounds like a reasonable person on his inner monologue and acts like an emo steroid raged teenager to just be edgy while liberally applying all the #iamverybadass monologues he can, which just is so super cringe. To top it off he is not really exhibiting any character growth even when being blungeoned in the face with how stupid he’s being. I just don’t think it’s realistic that anybody like this guy would have survived this long. Can’t say I really recommend this story anymore, it’s not going anywhere.

Disappointing

Revisado: 11-12-20

Spoilers ahead but here we go.
MC suddenly develops anger issues, and we somehow get even further away from any explanation about the mysterious legacy class. Instead we get a new class that gives us literally nothing so we just continue to use nothing but dark blade for every fight, it’s like some guy playing a fighting game but can’t be bothered to learn combos so just mash X. Can’t talk to the pet now either so we have to use Sela as a translator for literally everything, so humor points all get lost. Instead of interesting monsters, let’s just make some pop culture references and make the rest just impossibly larger and larger, I’m expecting the moon to be an actual golem by book 4. I don’t know where we are going with this story, but I can tell you we didn’t get there in this book. If book 4 doesn’t make some significant strides, I think I’ll not waste anymore credits on this series.

Side Quest

Revisado: 07-31-20

Very much a side quest story. Was hoping for main character progression after such a long time, but it was not to be. Main character is pretty much a narrator in this story, and I found myself liking his former rival more than him. Lots of philosophical type stuff, which is fun for a while, but grows tiresome. The authors notes are nice, since some of the terms were basically nonsensical as a non-Chinese reader for the first 2 books. Hoping the next one picks up, this one did not quite connect for me.
