Review from Shadeslinger →
I have listened to at least 10 different LitRPG series and this one is not good. I was bored, I didn’t care for any of the characters, the world mechanics were unoriginal, and I regret even trying to get into this book. I actually found myself wanting to like it cause I think there was..
Review from Underlord →
I listened to the first book of this series on a whim. Now, I can’t stop. The characters and the plot draw you in. The narration makes it easy to suspend reality and lose yourself in the world created by a wonderful author.
I’m a huge anime fan. Just got done watching mushoku tensei and this was very similar but without the perverted MC narrative. The overpowered isekai is great for a relaxing read to me. Can’t wait to start the next book in this series.
Review from A Thousand Li: The First Step: A Cultivation Novel →
Loved it! This is true to a classic cultivation novel, although a little difficult to follow when the moves are named without a description but that’s also classic lol.

In fact… does anyone even need to review the later works in a series? Well, just in case someone’s somehow on the fence about..
If you listened to the dungeon series and want to deep dive into how cultivation and essence works, this is the audiobook for you. Took about half the book to get into it, but it finished well.

the audio doesn’t work. download went fine. lost my credit! ? would appreciate returning my credit!
word salad, false multiple perspectives, ham fisted, poorly constructed story. your money and tokens are better spent elsewhere.
The story is fantastic. I read reviews that questioned so about what this book centers on and my response is, did you really listen to it? The MC is the personification of a teenager who thinks he has the world figured out, his place in it, and the path he will take. This is all..
When the narration started, I thought “oh, this doesn’t sound fitting at all”. By the time I got just half an hour in, if that, I thought “I have never encountered a narrator so good and so well-matched to the story”. Baldree differentiates each character with their own voice so well and so appropriately that..
