About this listen

A newborn dragon is forced to come to terms with his reality: his body is not made of flesh and blood—but of ice cream.

No fate is worse than being a failure before birth. His future holds endless troubles and dangers—wild animals, greedy humans, and ancient secrets. What can a small mutated hatchling do?

He must grow stronger.

With few options besides magic, he turns to the Nexus, a being of untold power that rewards its users with experience and stat points at great cost. But that does not mean his enemies are without strength. Levels and stats are available to all in this dragon-eat-dragon world.

Can’t wait for seconds.

Though I thought the ice cream was a metaphor at first I was pleasantly surprised. The story is quite interesting and fairly original. The only complaint I have is that the occasional shifts in perspective are a bit jarring with little to notify the listener without some brief mental gymnastics.

When the egg cracks ice cream must

When the egg cracks ice cream must flow this is the way with this main character a mistake that is not a mistake in an area that is both overpowered and underpowered it's not something I'll keep in my library but it was something That had an interesting premise and had great promise and could be a really good series

significantly better than expected

I went into this book expecting something boring or just to odd to be fun, but what I got is a funny, whimsical and yes odd book but in a very good way.

I recommend you listen

Loved it.

I love a silly premise treated seriously with logical solutions. I love how the system works and how a dragons spell casting grow. Already bought the second and can’t wait to start the listen.

it's got some editing issues,but the story is a 10

okay, this story is great. the concept seems silly, but if you like monster evolution, you will love this. It has some editing issues, some grammar mistakes are apparent even in this audiobook, but the story is super enjoyable. it takes itself surprisingly seriously and equally a surprising that works for it. minute comes to monster evolution this story should be up there with Chrysalis. is it the best progression fantasy story I've ever seen, no.
is it one of the most interesting unique and fun monster evolution stories ever seen with an equally interesting and unique world, and I intelligent man character who uses its disadvantages to its Advantage when possible and works past them when it can't. absolutely yes

give this one a try I promise you you will not regret it.

Why is it always the f word

For the first 8 hours no f word then then it became the most common swear word how did the f word become so common it is disgusting I wish I could find some good fantasy books don’t seem to have this in them it’s so hard to find it completely ruins, the book, and I was looking forward to continuing the series. No I won’t.

Narrator is Straight out of the 90's

I can't focus on this book because the narrator is such a mismatch for this type of book. Feels like I'm listening to something narrated back on a cassette tape.

Concept is fun and the world logic seems solid, but it's hard to not just forget I'm listening to this at all and not really know what is going on. It is a chore to listen to this.

I thought it would be bad but it was really good!

This is in deed about a dragon with a mutation giving it a body of ice cream which sounds like a terrible premise. however it works really well and the story is a great progression story. The MC has a few moments of rambling for exposition purposes but they are manageable.

The story was intriguing.
The narration was pretty good with only minor flaws.
