this actually made me lose respect for Jeff Hayes

Revisado: 02-22-25

Jeff Hayes is one of the best narrators I've ever heard. The closer I get to the end of this book (~1 hour left) praying for ANYTHING redeeming out of the story the more I lose respect for him for taking this on and Soundbooth for picking up such trash as a project. It's like AI wrote it from a bad prompt. Quite literally struggling to finish it because a part of me has to believe there is SOMETHJNG.

Revised review

Revisado: 08-21-24

Eventually muscled through the first hour of painfulness and it's finally come into itself.
The narrator tries to do this thing during tense moments where he would exhude the MC's panic by talking fast but his tone and candor was painfully off.
Once that passes the narration is actually very solid several hours in.

guy really likes eqypt

Revisado: 05-18-24

story tone and character personalities are erratic as hell. made it into book 3 before it just became too much.

I'd recommend it as a solid book for teens but all the characters are mid 30s. I didn't hate it but genuinely couldn't bring myself to finish it as a 30YO myself.

The best yet

Revisado: 11-30-23

This series has only gotten better as it goes on. From tone to character growth it's exceeded all expectations. Travis is always a pleasure to listen to.

Consistent

Revisado: 08-13-23

This series has been an example of what I look for in a Cultivation world. It's not like it's mind-blowing content-wise. Rather, it is simply consistently well written and reasonably consistent in attitude, character growth, and progression.
I'm not saying it doesn't do some fun things I haven't seen. Moreso, those moments are just overshadowed by how thoroughly it keeps me generally engaged with what's happening by nature of flow.
Fun series, do recommend.
(Always love to hear Travis)

Please dial back the Jason angst

Revisado: 09-27-22

The story remains entertaining and the characters fun, but the almost constant references to Jason’s self-loathing is overshadowing the rest of the tale.

Not sure how people listen to this

Revisado: 04-04-22

I cringed early on here but pushed through hoping it would get better, especially with Jeff Hayes on board.

He is utterly overshadowed by 2 things: audio editing and the terrible dialogue.

AUDIO: Every time we jump from narrator to character talking/thinking the volume jumps. (Narration loud as hell, MC quiet AF) It's maddening.

Dialogue: The MC has the most cringe nick names and dialogue with the female characters. It's actually abhorrent.

Combine those factors with a weak baseline plot comparable with 7 other books from around the same time who did it better and.....

Overall a huge miss from me, dawg. Take a pass and drop your credit into the ocean before putting it here.

Let's not overthink like I did in review.

Revisado: 10-26-21

Story has a solid grasp on the genre and holding to the theme. Really, it's just authentic enough based on environmental appeal to be solid, but it is solid.
Saw a few reviews, based on a focus of lgbtq intolerance and in a way that frustrated me.
I won't go further in my own review but unless you are upset by the idea of a masculine persona running a feminine character or precisely vice versa, please just don't give credence to those who draw an antithetical conclusion here.
I also had a bit of a thing against female narrators throuvh experience prior to this. This lady killed it. 10/10 slayed. take. it. as. you. will.

Top Tier Series

Revisado: 09-16-21

If you like anything about the LitRPG genre I find it hard to believe you wouldn't appreciate this series.
There is a preface to the universe in 2 separate 5(+) series that create and absolutely amazing tone. (Artorian Archives and Divine Dungeon)
I'm writing this review on my third listen of the series after the 5th edition release and needed to, at least in the basest of ways, voice my support.
From author to narrator, and all the steps between (and after!), my favorite series/universe in 25 years of reading.

The Highest of Fantasty

Revisado: 08-09-21

I was scraping bottom barrel for something to listen to and underestimated the cringe of this book.

if you can completely suspend belief and want to hear an amateurs take on erotic play then go forth and pick this up.

If characters outside the MC having no personality outside of being hot for the MC turns you off, look elsewhere. He has no redeeming qualities outside of not being a bigot. Low bar is low.
