Historia
Mack Sutton is a normal guy who just happens to attend a very abnormal school. In a college where the pretty girls can kill you with a whisper and most of the guys can bench press a car, Mack and his sister Jetta are just run of the mill people—or are they?

Basically a .5 Book (2-3 stars)
Revisado: 12-04-24
This is basically a slice of life with Mack Sutton with 1 relatively big conflict. This does not advance the story, and the ending kinda sucks. It's the same formula, which if you got to #19, you are used to. He can't do that! Where's the check on his power! What gives him the right! Etc. To the extent it is like all the other books that should be a .5 book you will like. At this point I really wish the author would take the next 2-3 books to finish the story, then if still need to make money from this universe, create other stories within it. As it is, this dragging out of the story is getting ridiculous at this point.

All Ole wanted to do was become an adventurer like his brother. He wanted to romance his childhood sweetheart and bring her with on his adventures. Together they would rise in the world and take the fight to the Ashen that threaten humanity. Monsters that create portals and break into his world to feast on humans.

It's a Maybe
Revisado: 11-08-24
This is a maybe. It moves along for most of book slowly, some action, then slower (how many ways can you describe a modern appliance in a post apocalyptic world?) and when the action comes across sometimes it is as a person describing it as opposed to living it--but it is good. But the main bad guy is so completely one dimensional that it is nonsensical. And there are plot/reason holes in the beginning and end. With all that being said--the first book is enjoyable mostly. I considered getting the second book, but based on the reviews (regarding the relationships etc.) likely won't. So...maybe try?

Historia
During his first year at the Ephemeral Academy, Cam grew far in his Ephemeral Mastery, becoming a person of significance. The eyes of the mighty are now upon him, and they promise him wealth and even marriage into their houses should he offer them loyalty. Yet Cam has other concerns. He no longer trusts his sponsor, Rainen Winder—the Wilde Sage—whose usage of Cam and his friends has seen them almost die on too many occasions. A dilemma exists, however, because breaking with the Wilde Sage will also result in Cam's expulsion from the academy.

3 stars Read
Revisado: 11-05-24
3 stars, worth the read/listen/credit. But--half the book and more is filled with interpersonal high-school drama that is just not needed. Other than that, story is otherwise good.

Probably Stopping Here
Revisado: 10-08-24
This started out as a good book and to be fair is a good book all the way to the end. But with the end of the book, I'm going to call it there.
Spoilers:
The issue that I have, is that in this genre you have a MC who works his way to becoming OP (some faster, some slower, but progress). The ending of this book completely wipes that away, with a little tease of a maybe. In a genre where we root for the MC and every power up--to wipe that away, and leave us only a hope that he gets it back--yeah not for me. This book is good though, so there's that.

Historia
Nyx was born Hollow. An empty vessel in a world of spirits. Normally, that was a death sentence, yet somehow he survived. He's always been stubborn like that. He's also always been a bit crazy. Which is why, in another life, he did something reckless. He sent himself a message—his memories. Threw them into the Flow from which all spirits return. Besides, Nyx believed in asking hard questions. Like, was reincarnation real?

Surprisingly Good
Revisado: 10-04-24
It took a little bit to get used to, but once that happened, what a surprisingly good (and insane) story. Worth the credit.

Historia
Being a warrior in a garden is pretty good, but being a necromancer is better. For obvious reasons Sylver preferred warzones to gardens, but aside from the guns, sunlight, and other oddities, there wasn't much to complain about. Not to mention he already had a new ally, a new class, a ton of levels, didn't make all that many enemies, and most importantly, at the end of this he was going to finally find Edmund.

Great Story
Revisado: 08-12-24
Great continuation of the last book and series. One thing you have to love about these books is so much gets done in them! Some books will have a 20hr listen time and nothing gets done. These books have a great length and filled with great content. Can't wait for the next.

Historia
Nearly everything in Gregory’s life had changed by the end of his first year at the academy. Alone at the start of his novice year, he’d gotten engaged to Yukiko Warlin and found a friend in Jenn Bean by the time the annual tournament was over. The three of them went on to join Aether’s Guard, bringing the name of the nearly dead clan back to life. Elder Lightshield, the leader of Aether’s Guard, gave them his support and backing and Magus Dia guided them.

That First Blooper is Gold (the story, eh)
Revisado: 07-23-24
Naive and stupid MC is groomed by smarter and wiser women into relationships. That's pretty much this book. Nothing much happens, there are parts of pure utter dribble that I had to question my life choices--is listening to the whole book for about 10 minutes of content worth it? Probably not. But then again this is book 3, and I'm not saying I won't get the next one. Throw it on in the background and all. But if you are looking for anything more (or anything approaching a faster pace) this is not it. But that first blooper at end, hats off, that is pure gold.

Historia
Every year, the empire administers the rite of passage into adulthood. That rite serves to identify those blessed by Aether to become magi. The new magi are shipped to the academy to learn the arts of magic. The academy is a dangerous place; the tournaments held twice each year can cripple or kill the students, and the clans of the empire will go to great lengths to recruit the students they want. Gregory had one dream: to become a magi like the legends of old. Though he was ridiculed by the residents of the village and his unsupportive father, he never wavered from his dream.

Relationship Book
Revisado: 07-21-24
Naive goody tooshoo MC led around by smarter wiser women/female entities. Thay being said I am almost done with book 2. Just so you know going in, this is a relationship book, with maybe 1 or 2 explicit scenes, and some action/conflict scenes. It is definitely not fast paced, but when the action/fighting scenes come, the action is quick and done well. Fairly straightforward storytelling, a good book to pass the time.

So...It's Okay?
Revisado: 07-17-24
First to help you--this is a quasi cultivation book with a hint of litrpg, this is not the Land, it doesn't take place in the Land. With that realization the story may be better for you. But even with that, after the first part of the book where you might be expecting an exciting story---the book moves so, so, so slow. Really outside a few events nothing much happens. Which would be forgivable as a cultivation novel--but for the MC and his constant self reflection. About everything. I mean all the time even after saying he's accepting things, questioning those things ad nauseum. There were several times I didnt think I could make it through all the self bemoaning and self reflection (which is most of the book) but kept on b/c it's Aleron Kong. At best I can say is... it's OK? I don't know if I'll get the next, but hopefully it's better than that.

Night has fallen and the dead have begun their march. Garrett’s power is growing, and with it the influence of the dream flowers. But with power comes enemies, and Garrett’s enemies outclass him by a large margin. To make matters worse, one of the Great Rulers of the Dream has launched his attack on the budding Klein Family, intending to consume Garrett and expand his territory. With the March of Lesrak underway, the gangs of the city have a simple choice. Band together or die under the claws of the wave of zombies sweeping the city.
