About this listen

When the world ends, humanity must fight to survive—but where others struggle in fear, Will sees only an opportunity to thrive.

April 3rd, 3:46 AM. Planet Earth merges with the magical world of Arcadia, and a system gives humanity a choice: 40 years of indentured servitude, or entering a tutorial as a user to fight against the chaos incursion.

Will doesn't hesitate—but the system thanks him for stepping into the fight by throwing him into an impossible tutorial. With little chance of survival, Will has a simple response: “Screw it. Might as well fight fire with fire."

Warning: [Corruption] has been chosen as primary attribute.

With a forbidden element, Will just might be able to stab his way out of the tutorial. But as he gains the powers of death and space as well, he realizes that his problems might not only lie in the monsters that now plague the world.

Will, now Earth's sole corruption wielder, finds danger at every corner. For anyone else, that could mean a quick and terrifying end. To him?

Maybe Will was meant for this world.

Perfect for fans of Defiance of the Fall, System Universe, and He Who Fights With Monsters—don't miss the start of the hit litRPG apocalypse series with a million views on Royal Road!

strong start, gets bogged down

there's a lot of good and cool stuff and ideas in the book, and it's definitely worth checking out. I just felt the magic system was needlessly complicated to the point it made following the character's progression, build, and battles more difficult.

Slow start

First part

For my tastes, this was too much system/info and not much story. 75/25. The narrators didn’t combine their dialogue in a smooth manner so that didn’t help. Listened at 1.1 x speed. Helper? Really? Did someone forget to put a name in the place holder?

Second part

I now understand the Primal Hunter with He Who Fights With Monsters comments. A story line develops more as it goes on. The narration gets smoother.

Final part. Finishes up stronger than the start. Undecided on book 2. Updated my rating.

Just Excellent

A far better and faster start than defiance of the fall, Primal hunter or even HWFWM. The dialogue & humor is just great. It just feels very clean & balanced. Fights & skills feel natural and understandable. It feels more polished than DOTF or PH. Not overly political like HWFWM. It touches on all the details and elements that need to be but doesn’t overdue it. It’s just excellent.

Loved the story, can’t stand Matt

I really enjoyed the story, but Matt isn’t a strong narrator, any voice other than his “MC” voice is just grating to the ears. Any deeper and it’s like he gargled nails. Any high pitched comes straight out of his nose. I enjoy Erin but Matt really bring anything I hear with him in it.

Awesome

I really liked this premise there is a lot going on in this series and it’s just getting started. This is going to be a pretty epic series before it is done I think.

Wow!

This story started out your standard apocalyptic LitRPG but then went off on a powers and skills tangent that includes corruption as a power/element.
Of course the MC gets it and it's a taboo power but the MC has to be the best. Right?
This is not a spicy or harem book.
Great story.
I'm giving this book 7.5 out of 5 stars.

Loved it!!

This was a great story. I loved how the “assistant” interacted with him, and how he just went all in. I hate indecisive people (because I am one) so this was a great read for me! Pick your way quickly and go for it!
