Uniquely horrible in the best ways

Revisado: 04-08-25 El oyente recibió este título gratis

MC's abilities are very innovative and fascinating to read about. The small POV change really sells just how grotesque the cult is, and yet the charity of the group really presents a nice counterpoint to the horrors that persist. The magic system is nicely defined and the characters vibrant and well crafted. Love the creativity behind pets and plastic surgery, and upcoming war applications. All round, a good webnovel adaption to audiobook.

A faithful continuation of the series

Revisado: 03-24-25

Another installment of the LITRPG series. Same writing style with same OP protagonist. Builds on plot elements left in prior books. Not much character growth here. For someone who places so much importance on found family and friends, he certainly doesn't spend much time with them. Cutting a web serial that wasn't written for book installments is very awkward.

Solid LITRPG

Revisado: 03-17-25 El oyente recibió este título gratis

A very good example of this subgenre. An overpowered protagonist in a very well crafted world. I highly enjoyed the magic system and the unique interplays used here.

Satisfying high fantasy, with a LITRPG sprinkle

Revisado: 02-06-24 El oyente recibió este título gratis

Overall a very entertaining tale. I like the main character and most of the side characters. I'll pretend Lily doesn't exist.

A very well thought out world. The magic and plot were well planned. There were a few side plots that didn't seem like they ever went anywhere but as a whole, the story reads like a slice of life fantasy.

Main audiobook narrator is amazing. I personally find the female narrator grating, but her voice is clear if annoying.

While levels a la LITRPG exists, it's done in a low key manner and is very digestible.

Aggressively American

Revisado: 10-23-23 El oyente recibió este título gratis

I received this title for free and I am providing an honest review.

It was just bad all around. The opening scene was foreboding enough and ended up proving true. I hated every chapter.

The book is like a mash up of a propaganda video and C-list movie plots. America had to be mentioned in some way in every other sentence. Author relied much too heavily on trite sayings and predictable dialogue. I related to no characters because hardly anything was explained or adequately detailed.

A solid high fantasy

Revisado: 10-12-23 El oyente recibió este título gratis

I was honestly pleasantly surprised by this novel. I received this as a free copy and actually didn't expect too much from it. I really liked the characters and magic system here. Main characters were flawed but vivid and likable. Dialogue flowed naturally. This novel is very self contained and ties up narrative threads neatly.

Narrator also did splendidly. Splendid performance.

Lazy writing

Revisado: 05-04-21

It was an interesting listen, but the ending seemed lazy and biased. Lots of fact then some guesses. Meh.

Okay story, exciting celebrity narrator

Revisado: 05-04-21

Zachary Quinto? Yes, please. Such a pleasing rumble to the narration.

A good listen for a day’s long car ride.

Good for kids, bad for adults

Revisado: 05-04-21

Good for children, great cast AB performance, but not very enticing for adults.

Very little plot originality. Engaging enough to force finish, but too bland to really remember plot-wise.

2.5 stars.

Weak main character (like a soggy napkin), odd obsessive characters, OP side characters for haphazard plot devices, annoying character choices... like the children’s version of Pretty Little Liars. Trite “going viral” trope. ”The Nobility” name... like a bad Korean drama (Flower 4, anyone?)

Consumed via 2.5x speed, but even then it was hardly palatable. The more I think about it, the more I question why I still bother with Audible Originals. Too many have been disappointing for me.

Also, WTF on the shameless Audible plug. “Audible contacted me to share my story.” Um, okay.

“Begending.” All the mish-mashed words were terrible.
