Yes yes, I’ve started my journey of listening through the Sovereign-verse timeline book one to the last book. At least I’ll have stuff to listen to for a while! (Woo!) It all starts off with Otherlife Dreams, the first book in the timeline and volume one of the Selfless Hero Triology. It is obvious that this is an earlier book, because it has more nicks (it’s not as clean as a book) than the others I’ve read from Arand, it is also shorter than the rest and (and I hate to use this term) more “generic” than what I have read from Arand before. That is; it’s more of a standard LitRPG than I had expected. It didn’t take away from my enjoyment however. This book isn’t as harem and sex heavy as other Arand books (though that supposedly starts in volume two), which is a nice change of pace, even if I don’t dislike that too much. Arand uses the question of “what makes is humans” quite well with the Awakened NPCs vs Unawakened NPCs and how they behave, something I noticed from Dungeon Deposed. Overall, a softer start to the timeline than I expected, but it was fun reading about things only mentioned in other series, and I’m looking forward to what I’ll get in future volumes; I give it a 7/10.
