Historia
Robert Sapolsky’s Behave, his now classic account of why humans do good and why they do bad, pointed toward an unsettling conclusion: We may not grasp the precise marriage of nature and nurture that creates the physics and chemistry at the base of human behavior, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. Now, in Determined, Sapolsky takes his argument all the way, mounting a brilliant (and in his inimitable way, delightful) full-frontal assault on the pleasant fantasy that there is some separate self telling our biology what to do.

Fascinating

I was hooked from the beginning! Sapolsky explains interesting and thought-provoking neuroscience. I love the scattered dry humor that invites the reader to pay closer attention. over all a great book

Historia
On a little-known planet, Archmage Varic Vallenar casts a grand spell to empower himself with the magical abilities of his alternate selves. The ritual works too well, granting Varic not only the magic but also the memories from six lives. Including their gruesome deaths. Now, Varic has power greater than any wizard in galactic history, but he knows that won’t be enough. The enemies he faced in those alternate lives were apocalyptic in scale. Terrors of technology and magic. Nothing that he, or anyone, can defeat.

To be honest, my favorite part was the blooper where Lindon and Dros showed up to join the ship crew!

Historia
A soldier's downfall becomes the chance of a life time. Luca will pay any price to uncover the lost art of cultivation and reveal a path to the heavens. During his many years in the army, few men served Mindea as faithfully as Luca. Clawing his way into the elite ranks of Ballum's Fist, the man hoped to rouse his dormant core. After every Elixir of Awakening failed, however, he relinquished such dreams in the hopes of returning home. Yet even that is torn away when he and his men collide with an unexpected fate.

Disappointed
Revisado: 01-04-23
First of all, if you are looking for a cultivation story, do yourself a favor and skip to chapter 20. But if you are looking for MC cultivator with agency you won't find it here. MC does whatever the godess tells him so that none of his progression is his own. He is nothing more than a puppet for most of the book, and when he does make a choice, it is one I can't relate to (e.g., bringing bribes to a bully or not acting to save his deciple from that same bully). MC is pathetic, and the story is boring.

Historia
Contains books one and two of Condemning the Heavens... On the continent of Chang'an, humans had lived as livestock and slaves to the Primordial Beasts. These beasts were ferocious, bloodthirsty, and overwhelmingly powerful, but even so, the humans managed to prevail in the face of despair. As the human race grew stronger the Primordial Beasts fought back with relentless fierceness, rousing beast hordes to engage in frenzied battles over the land. Every single child on the continent was taught martial arts for the sake of fighting these Primordial Beasts.

Getting annoyed with this.
Revisado: 11-29-22
The story arc constantly comes to a complete stop for the sake of an info-dump. Or a supposedly high-speed fight scene is frozen in time for over a minute to let commoners make their deragatory comments. it seems like everyone is experiencing the same emotions too as if they are just a bunch of npcs rather than individuals in a living world (Everyone was shocked/excited/scared/etc). Then there is a tendency for a sentence to repeat the content of a previous sentence (something like: It was raining really hard. Although it was raining.... blah blah blah). Furthermore info gained from info-dump paragraphs is often repeated multiple times.
The story has potential but the writing/translation are making listening to it an ordeal. Narrator is good, I have no complaints there.

Historia
The battle in the heavens has left a target on Lindon’s back. His most reliable ally is gone, the Monarchs see him as a threat, and he has inherited one of the most valuable facilities in the world. At any moment, his enemies could band together to kill him. If it weren’t for the Dreadgods. All four are empowered and unleashed, rampaging through Cradle, and grudges old and new must be set aside. The Monarchs need every capable fighter to help them defend their territory.

I hate the info dumps
Revisado: 05-13-22
I liked the story line of all 3 books. Main character development and progression are well done too. But I absolutely hate the 10-20 minute info dumps containing history, mechanics, lore, etc. Fight scenes get interrupted with a history lesson on some beast or item... Don't tell us, show us! Check out Robert Jordan's writing in Wheel of time for an example of how descriptions of places and people can be integrated with actions and adventures. Another annoying feature in your writing is repetition of words and phrases (e.g. "Michael's eyes flashed").

Historia
Winter has passed, taking with it the hope of peace. The state of Wei deploy an increasing number of cultivators and soldiers, intent on taking over the state of Shen. Caught in between the armies is Wu Ying's village and all those that he cares about. Advised to keep away from the approaching war, Wu Ying will have to decide what is more important - his journey to immortality or the ties to the mortal that he holds onto still. Or perhaps, there is a third way, one that balances both the needs of Heaven and destiny and the karmic ties of the family.

Disappointing
Revisado: 05-05-22
Unlike book 1 and 2 that I enjoyed immensely, this book was boring, soapy and most importantly lacked progression. The focus of the book has shifted from individual progression of MC to talk about his friends, enemies, and the war. I'll give the next book a try only because the first two books were really good.

Alex gazed at the golden steps before him, pretending he was just another cultivator eager to attend Royal Phoenix Academy, and not the most wanted man in the entire province. His fellow aspirants mocked him with their smiles. They expected him to plummet to his death the moment they began their climb, washed away by the flood of spiritual energy pouring down those steps.

Not everyone gets a second chance at life. I, however, kind of lucked into mine. Thrust into the body of a dying man, I fought to break free, made a few friends along the way, and started down the long and treacherous path of revenge.

Surprisingly good
Revisado: 01-03-22
While story shares many common themes with other litrpgs, wuxia, and system apocalypse novels it also has unique features and additions.
The story itself has many twists, making it less predictable. Main character makes mistakes and learns from them. His path is an utter mess, but he makes it work. I am looking forward to book 4 to see him combine his dual class, unrelated dao seeds, his weird life/death core into something special.
one negative:
The author tries to portray different alien species, but they all feel like humans with little variance in culture. They even use the same terms as the main character (e g. "powerhouse" )
