Mid tier litrpg, Time Filler worth $7.99
Revisado: 04-26-25
Mid Tier Litrpg, fun time filler but not worth listening too for its own sake. (Only on Second Book so far will update if changes.)
Pros:
-Mage School dynamics akin to "Mother of Learning" and "Mark of The Fool" Series.
-Interesting Magic System based on Bond Relationship with extra-planer beings.
-Competence and Progression of protagonist Damien.
Cons:
-Eldritch Horror "Henry" at beginning is made out to be God tier powerful with apocalyptic powers however this really isn't part of narrative. Henry's powers are more whatever is convenient for Damien but not overpowered, Henry's motives are experiencing earth and humanity. Character needs more depth, consistency and specificity. Because Henry's powers (and motives) aren't defined his powers are pretty much whatever is convenient, Damiens roomate's core is breaking so Henry has powers to fix, Damien must learn so Henry has super reading and fast learning, etc. Also void plane is never explained, is it chaos, cycle of Apocalypse and death, pure evil, nothingness? Why is Void plane OP versus all others?
-We never get to explore anyone elses relationship with their pair bonded being, this could have really made a big difference since just seeing Damien and Henry we can't tell what is special, different or overpowered about them and their relationship. We just see them win and Henry pull out a new power to solve the next problem. Comparison would have been good plot tool. Also inyerations between a Void vs Earth or Water or Air or Star or anything would have really helped define the order of universe and magic relationships.

Historia

Great Story but kind of Bland
Revisado: 04-24-25
I listen to alot of Fantasy fiction from dragon riders, wizards, barbarians, kings, vampires, etc. I have at this point heard so many variations and twists on things that it really takes alot of originality to surprise me and hold interest. I had hopes with this since the cover art you can see a blind dragon. However the story kind of plays out like another dragon rider story where a peasant boy comes of age as a dragon rider. Frankly there is not much that distinguishes this from any other Dragonrider clone series and it plays out predictably. The characters are all super predicatble also from the Mentor with scarred past, the virtuous princess who overcomes her arrogance in relationship with mc, and the innocent peasant boy who saves the world with his heart of gold and coming of age. I think just with details of last sentence you could predict the whole novel.
That said I do not have a big problem with staying true to archetypes in novels. It just does not stand out to me as something unique or special.
I think it I was still in my teens and this was one of my first dragon rider books I would be fascinated.

Love Series Hope Seth Ring Nails Ending
Revisado: 04-13-25
If you.are at this point in series you know Jon Sutton is an unkillable eternal God with his own dimension cintaining multiple worlds and a gang of supporters lthat have fearsome God like powers just below his own tier. Also John has saved his world from likr 9 apocakupses, became leader of higher planes mage school.
So with all this power it is kind of like Goku going from Super Saiyan to Super Super Saiyan. Seeing John raise himself to Godhood was cool but becoming a zuper God is kind of not as suspenseful. I still am commited and the series is in my top 5 for litrpg however I hope Seth has a plan to give series and John a good ending.

First 3 hours rushed
Revisado: 04-03-25
The setup of story is rushed and there really is no purpose or drive behind the main character.
It is just a random dude who dies and instantly gets into character setup and thrown into a party of dungeon delvers. There isn't anything of substance to hold attention to the story. Frankly you are left not caring about any outcome of MC since there is no story, or character setup for anything.

Having survived their journey into the Dark Heart, Arthur and his dragon, Brixaby, have a new goal: complete their Legendary card sets. Unfortunately, the next Legendary card is locked away in Blood Moon, a hive with a reputation for chaos, lawlessness, scourgling eruptions, and—rumor has it—dedicated dragon hunters. Still, Arthur and his retinue feel they have little to fear. Then again, they also don't have much knowledge of what actually lies ahead.

Top Tier Litrpg
Revisado: 04-01-25
The series consistently delivers engaging stories and a captivating magic system with each installment. I appreciate how Honour Rae develops the characters while simultaneously escalating the challenges they encounter; this creates a perfect balance of suspense and narrative progression. Furthermore, the world-building and magic system are incredibly intriguing, with the gradual revelation of the world's mysteries through carefully placed hints throughout the story.
I am fully invested in this series and have already ranked it among my top five, alongside Will Wight's "Cradle" and Seth Ring's "Battle Mage Farmer." Series like these are the reason I am passionate about the LitRPG genre

Ending Made the Book
Revisado: 03-17-25
We are in book 7 but the Generasi crew has been in school.2 years and are already more powerful then many of their.professors. Felt this made characters feel too overpowered with first half olot points. However with the second half focusing on Thamdland and Oldar it once again limits the heroes and outs everything in perspective. Tbe ending .ade.the book for me however there still are many questionz the reader is left with at end of book. Hoping JM Vlarke has the plot to live up to what he setup for the next book. I am definitely in it for the end!

Cradle isn’t over yet. Lindon’s journey may have ended, but there are still more tales to tell. The stories in this collection will show you the world after Cradle, those left behind, and even some legends from long ago. Witness the first Uncrowned King tournament. Visit the Monarchs and their voyages in the lands beyond. Get to know the Abidan in their homes, and meet the people of new worlds as they cross paths with familiar faces. And, of course, check in on some old friends.

Fun for fans of world
Revisado: 01-09-25
Its fun.
Its not the same as the series though. The series the events have the added emotional weight and suspense of being invested Lindon as a character. Now that we are in happy ever after ending for Lindon and these are short story glimpses at the past events where we already know the outcome and focuses on tertiary characters and villains its just not as gripping as original series.
I am glad Will released this though.

Mimic Powers too OP
Revisado: 12-12-24
So basically the mc is betrayed by pay to win high level royals and left for dead but bonds with mimic, he then can swallow other people and absorb their skills, spells, etc. Its just too overpowered to be interesting with no finesse. Would be ok if their were more interesting situations or dialogue the mc was in.
I also found the dialogue between the MC and mimic to be annoying. Reminds me of Venom from the Tom Hardy movie.

A Secret Service operative and dedicated survivalist, Special Agent Del Roosevelt had a plan for every world-ending scenario and regularly trained for them all. He was even ready for a date with the hottest woman in his office next Friday. At least he hoped so. But all that training, all those rations, all that prepping? Useless for the apocalypse that actually played out. Del wakes up half-buried in a giant trash pile, missing his thumbs. And, um, covered in red fur. He's stuck in a world of fuzzy monsters, senseless violence, and cult-like crusaders.

Not as funny as I hoped
Revisado: 12-05-24
So this is severely lacking the two things I hoped for
1. An interesting litrpg system where we see our Isekai'd protagonist excel in some way by using his life skills as a secret service agent.
2.Funny scenarios where a super serious isekai'd muppet with the mind of a serious secret service agent ensues in absurd hilarity.
Without those two things I am not sure what is going on here.

Narrator makes characters sound like 7 year olds
Revisado: 12-04-24
For some reason I think the narrator infantilizes the protagonist even though he is in his mid 20s he speaks and squabbles like a a little kid. Even the inflection. Reminds me kind of like Narnia kids except there is no depth to the story like Narnia and the mc is a full grown man.
Because of this I just can't get into story. Find it kind of grating.
