Dosent live up to the hype

Revisado: 08-06-24

How do you expect the world to react to someone who unequivocally saves it? Well not like this. This is a nightmare. Cal is a no name nobody who lives in obscurity because he neither had the drive to get revenge or better himself. He spends the entire book wasting away and being dragged around by other characters. He has no leadership qualities and is the most unheroic hero I've ever seen in all of existence. I'd never imagine an author could make a guy who saves the world and wins every fight hes in too look like an absolute loser but here we are. It's honestly an achievement. The book ends and I have no hope for this guy hes spent the entire book being dragged through inane burocricy and I don't see how that will ever change in the later books. Quick tip for making a smart character don't make them a reactive Neanderthal who isn't even the leader of his own team. Failing that at least allow them to outsmart or outplay their enemies instead of having them be given politocal plot armor for the entire book.

Evil A.I takes over the body of a braindead lobotomized Neanderthal

Revisado: 07-06-24

do you like characters with no agency? yes? then this will be an amazing story! no? oh well I'm sure you'll like the evil ai that enslaves the mc 5 minutes in and then gaslights him into somehow thinking their freinds while forcing him to do his bidding. The worst part about the story is that he(the author) thinks these terrifying parts where the mc has his agency ripped away is comedic and the mc does the literary equivalent of shrugging and saying oh well. if this story was written well it could be a dramatic tale of a man stealing back his freedom from an all controlling tyrannical robot. but this story is not written well. it's trash

Braindead Mc

Revisado: 04-23-24

This guy should be a necromancer he has as much brain activity as a corpse. Do you like interesting characters that refuse to give answers to basic questions about the audiobooks world? How about braindead mc's who survive by the skin of their teeth and the effectiveness of their Gary stu powers? Do you like stupid mistakes made in the middle of battle that have little to no consequences due to power armor? Then this book is right up your alley. It's almost shocking how many tropes this book manages to fenagle into its 15 hr run time. I was smashing my head against a table by chapter 4 I was using the MCs name as a curse word halfway through the book and I felt part of my soul leave me by the end. I think I accidentally made a horcrux. I would consider this book bad enough torture to count as part of the ritual.

Two faced coin

Revisado: 04-22-24

The 2 main protagonists offer completely different styles of book from each other. The human story is good military sci fi with human ingenuity solving seemingly insurmountable problems. the cetrian(centurian?) story reads more like a crappy sci fi comedy where every single human dictator was given a free planet and told to go wild. These two stories clash massively in both tone and theme to the point where I think the author just shoved them both together in an act of desperation to complete the story. it's not irredeemable it's just jarring and a little weird.

This is where I hop off

Revisado: 08-20-23

I've listened to the 1st 2 books and I'm pretty sure I know exactly where this story is gonna go. First some crazy foreshadowing for some evil villian will be shown. Then said villian will bug the MC. MC will proceed to hand out free cans whopass to villians henchmen. The villian will then escalate the conflict and force the MC into a bad position where he barely makes it out by the skin of his teeth. This will then culminate in the MC winning the day but not before we foreshadow the next villian of the week for him to fight. My problem with your story is not that it's predictable predictable stories are everywhere and it's the details and nuances that I find interesting in those stories. My problem is that your MC is a nondynamic character. He refuses to ever learn or plan for literally anything when it comes to the antagonists he fights. When it comes to planning travel or business he's great but any mention of the looming bad guy or foreshadowing of problems is soon swept under the rug. If your MC has to be as dumb as a brick and have one hand tied behind his back to be challenged then either your MC is too powerful (yes that was the plan I know) or your antagonist is an idiot that has zero impulse control (this is also true). My problem also isn't that your MC is op being overpowered is fine but while your MC is physically op mentally he's at a severe disadvantage to just about every other character. I know the fish out of water trope is a great way to convey info about random crap to the reader but there's a fine line between having an ignorant character and having a stupid one. Your MC pole vaulted over that line and went into the next county. In the end I know this is an old book and this review probably won't even be read but I'm leaving it here because I think the way you wrote this MC is indicative of a pattern that I'm beggining to see in your other series. Here's my point: stop having you MC be reactive. Stop letting the antagonist beat the ever loving crap out of him and wear him down for 2 or 3 books straight. Have your MC fight back and make plans of his own to counteract or God forbid get ahead of any plans the antagonist makes. I know I shouldn't expect sherlock Holmes vs. Moriarty but seeing your supossed Morgan made messiah devolve into bashing any problem he sees with his fists only after they've put him in the worst position possible kinda pisses me off. If you want me to beleive that this MC and his team are supossed to save the world maybe have then make a plan that can oh I don't know at the very least survive some random town in the middle of nowhere. If they have this much trouble dealing with a random noble I dread to think what will happen when they meet someone semi competent (cough farie queen cough cough).

The ending

Revisado: 01-03-23

The twist in the last half hour retroactively ruins the entire series for me.

10 minutes

Revisado: 02-05-22

got all of 10 minutes into the book before the author went off the rails and started preaching about how we need to genocide all white males and how there was a secret society of gatekeepers who spend their waking nights burning down comic book stores so as to keep all of their sacred books inside their evil dragon hoardes. I don't just not recommend this book I highly recommend that the author check himself into a mental asylum or seek some form of mental help before he starts trying to murder random people in the street that have a skin color he dosent agree with
