This really wasn’t what I was expecting, I liked this book alot, It was way better than I thought it would be.
the Narration is really good, like really good. I like all the voices, and the narrators did a really good job. You could tell the voices apart, and there voices weren’t annoying.
Overall the Narration in this book is top tier.
The characters in this book are nice. His friends were written very well, and I think they have alot of depth to them. I felt a connection with his divine calls, and the other characters. The Mc is also cool, i really liked him. He is written way better than most mcs.
The character development is also really good, you can see him change throughout the series, facing his sins and growing from them. Each lesson taught is something I agreed with, and I feel like I learned somethings from this book.
Victor really changed fundamentally as a person, and if there’s a book 2 I can’t wait to see what he becomes.
So overall the character development and the characters themselves are 5 star.
there wasn’t much character plot, that reason being he’s mostly by himself for most of the book, I actually really like that. it’s a nice solo listen, and I really enjoyed it.
It’s also a nice change of pace when it comes to the character build, I usually don’t listen to books where the Mc is a knight, but this one is an exception. i also love the skill progression, there is alot of it and I loved every bit of it.
I’d also like to say this book reminds me of hades, not alot but just a little.
When we talk about the plot, it’s okay, I can’t really see it. if we are really gonna get into it. I think it’s good to say the storyline was good, not the plot but the storyline. I feel like it’s detailed and better than most. especially at the end, I was enthralled in the book, and I was just hoping there was more.
when we talk about world building, I also like it. I love the way the world is built, and how it works. I love the litrpg aspect, and I think the world has alot of detail in it. Now I think there are somethings people are thinking about, so I’m gonna clear up any confusion.
He uses a mace and a shield, at first thought I didn’t really like it because I’m more of a sword type of guy, but it all plays out and it was a different type of book than what I listen to.
He dies and gets put into purgatory, he knows about litrpgs and has played them before, to go to heaven he has to clear the tower. The tower has a level for each sin, that means 7 levels for 7 different sins. The mc isn’t all alone when he’s diving, he has divine calls. Basically just spirit guides that help him. No its not like a master hunter k, outside of the tower there are people, and yes he has human friends outside the towers, yes its like a battle between lucifer and God, so you can expect the angels and the demons and all of that stuff. Yes the litrpg aspect of this book is pretty typical and you won’t be confused about anything.
Mc is also 51, but in this book his age doesn’t really matter. he spends alot of time in purgatory.
I don’t know if I answered everything people would he wanting to know, but hopefully I did.
M.A. Carlson really is a good author, I really liked this book. I don’t know if there will be a book 2, but there is certainly space for it. The narration was good like I said, and I recommend this book to anyone who likes litrpgs.
