Story
Cast into a brutal military camp by his once loving master, Mateo feels like the last six wonderful years of his life have been a lie. With the mysteries surrounding him growing, Mateo knows that his only option is to become one of the supernaturally powerful Duelists and grow in power until he can take his fate into his own hands. That plan is thwarted from the beginning when he gets stuck with the lowest-ranked Root Card against his will, ensuring that his growth as a Duelist will always be excruciatingly slow.

Story
When the cultivators came to Earth, they destroyed our entire civilization in a matter of hours. Armies fell, cities burned, and that was before the moon turned red and filled our world with monsters. Now, over a decade later, what's left of humanity slaves under the heels of our Qi-infused masters. The luckiest of us might even become one of them, they say—if we serve the Dynasty well enough and harness the power of Qi. But I want none of that. I'm sick of serving, and I want nothing to do with their world. Instead, I want them to pay for what they did to mine.

Story
A gunslinger with four affinities is a myth. It's the kind of story whispered in frontier saloons one drink before closing and around campfires in the dead of night. For the heroes and villains in those tales, that impossible power is a boon, a gift. For Mr. Jones, it's a curse. Of course, that's not his real name. He's had many. Changing names is necessary when you possess a power that every lawman and outlaw would kill to obtain. To survive, you keep your head down, kill when you must, and never stay in one place too long.

He's stuck in a world of fuzzy monsters, senseless violence, and cult-like crusaders.

But Arthur has an edge: a stolen heart card that secretly fell into his possession, thanks to a dragon. It’s a priceless source of power for the Baron and the tyrant will kill to get it back. Invaluable, too, to a young man of spellcasting ambitions.

Worth a Listen
While I will say I was often cringing a little at the beginning of the book I became quite enthralled by the end. There where some questionable word choices and sentences in the beginning. While the words didn't always mesh well together it drastically improved as the book progressed along with all subsequent books. If I had to take a guess I'd say the author found their stride and stopped overthinking things.
I've listened up until book four at this point and am quite pleased with the author and narrator. Both have done a wonderful job keeping the book entertaining. Keep up the good work guys!

It Was Alright
Very standard, typical. Not a whole lot of new, but decent nonetheless. It certainly got a lot better nearer to the end, but it wasn't necessarily bad nor amazing at any point.

Enjoyed it a lot
Since this book is the set up for the series it started a little slow as you got to understand the situation, the system and how it would affect earth and Zach.
Over all it was well paced, didn’t treat you like a complete idiot and didn’t get too deep into the mechanics, but deep enough you understand the power bands.
Would like to see a little more secondary character development, but honestly you can see it start to take shape at the end of the book, so I feel book 2 will get into it more.
For this style of book, if you like lit rpg/system style series, then it should appeal to you.

An interesting story that hints at much more to come
It’s a good story, very little of it is the main character talking at this point though I’m sure we will see the perspective shift. I love the hints at an endless multiverse immeasurable in size and population. I look forward to exploring it throughout the series. The voice acting suffers from something that drives me nuts, when all of the characters sound sullen or snotty or dumb. None of the characters get a voice that isn’t brittle or sullen sounding like a child even though they are older. It’s as if any voice but the narrators own narration voice ends up being cartoonish, nasally or like some classically portrayed 80’s TV sitcom nerd. I’m not throwing the narration out with the bath water, he has some good qualities including his narration voice and I hope the vocal performance settles down in upcoming books since I don’t think every single main character voice needs to be move up in register from the narration voice. But I trust the narrator and the narration is solid and clear, pleasant even. I find most narration undergoes an evolution through a series so I’ll hope for the same here.

pretty good
The author's vocabulary and word choice need improving. Reading "didn't dare" as the preface to every choice the author wants to emphasize as important makes me wish he had "did dare" to go grab a thesaurus, and occasionally a dictionary. Did you know decimated means killed one in ten rather than devastated? the author unfortunately doesn't seem to as he uses it as as the descriptor for the majority of impactful actions in every combat sequence.
Gross over usage of a handful of descriptors aside, the story is fun and the system mechanics and world are interesting and engaging. it made me want to design a D&D campaign with some of the ideas integrated in. The main character is likeable and straightforward without a lot of the whininess and uninspired philosophical musings that are rife in the genre. Overall a good series if you like LitRPG
The combat sequences and power level descriptors need more care taken in word choices and less catch all phrases. Read Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn for truly masterful combat sequences.
Overall enjoyable, with fun rapid pacing. I will keep reading and think the author's overall story is engaging and fun.
P.S A good editor or a solid pool of beta readers would take your stories to the next level very quickly!

Smithereens
The authors favorite word must be smithereens. Because I heard it so many times.
Absolutely stellar. Both the audio performance and the book itself. I have read alot of LitRPG.. like so much that everything tends to blend together at this point. So it's really awesome when something like this comes out, not since DCC have I read LitRPG this good and I am so glad there are 2 more books on kindle so it doesn't have to end.
