Steel Foundations asks the question: What if a 16th-century German knight was thrust into a world of magic, gods, and monsters, forced to navigate the unknown while mourning the loss of everything he once knew?

Leon Jäger, a stoic and unyielding knight, lives by a simple code: repay kindness with a river of ambrosia, and slights with total destruction. When an unexplainable force pulls him into a foreign world where magic flows and monsters roam, his creed will be tested like never before.

Struggling to comprehend powers beyond his imagination, Leon must master the mystical art of Qi cultivation while hiding his abilities from those who might exploit them. As he maneuvers through this strange land of gods, magic, and Cultivation, Leon must not only survive but carve out his place—without losing himself in the process.

Steel Foundations blends the epic drama of Western fantasy with the intricate philosophy of Chinese cultivation, wrapped in the fast-paced thrills of LitRPG. Swords, sorcery, and mystical forces converge in this unique isekai adventure, where Eastern tradition meets a knight's resolve.

This genre is definitely not my go to. That being said, I was hooked after chapter 2. I can't stop listening to this. I typically only listen to books or podcasts on my way to/from work, but this one has been played at home as well! I hope the follow on books make it to audible soon!

AMAZING!!!

he never seems to question the meddling of the gods and just goes along with what ever that one goddess manipulates him into, I take issue and it makes me feel some kinda way. aside from that I loved the mc, and will be continuing the series in the books that are now available. if you are on the fence its a good listen, I was and I don't regret getting it.

A VERY GOOD STORY JUST ONE ISSUE

to put it plainly. take the concept of a stoic german knight with just a pinch of occasional snark, and you have leon. the occasional jabs come out of left field but feel just right for his character so much, so i have spit out my drink once or twice. nothing too complicated, and a good action story continues on as i listen, only 4 hours into the book all i have to say is armen taylor did an excellent job with performance in this book

a new gem for cultivation

Why? Why share his power with this leech chick that not only forced herself onto his service but also was borderline useless the entire time. What’s worst is she’s annoyingly ungrateful. Ugh, I was loving the story too smh. Idk why these books force these characters into these female interactions, and in majority of the stories they slow down and drag the entire plot to s**t. Learn from the others people! Stop watering down good plots with cringey, clingy chicks. Be more realistic and make a character smash and release from time to time sheesh.

Why??? SMH

The premise and world is good. Worth the read.

Notable things.

Easily see what’s gonna happen next.

Something’s happen way too fast. Like all the sudden we have a deep connection as family after meeting once.

Not keeping secrets even tho I was the basis of the pact that was backed by a god. Basically saying “he blew up the whole room”. That’s borderline in my opinion. But whatever.

Lastly, part of the part said don’t ask about my secrets. Not even two days later.” I have to know” !!!
Then he tells and doesn’t even bring it up. Ugh.

Like I said. It’s a feel good, low stress, in between series. I would read this when I am doom scrolling for a new book.

Low stress, Sunday reading.
