Story
Humans have been pushed to the brink of extinction by an ever-evolving demonic threat. Portals are opening faster than ever, Towers are bursting into the skies, and Dungeons are being mined below the last safe havens of society. The demons are winning. Quest Academy stands defiantly against them as a place to train the next generation of Heroes. The Guild Association is holding the line but is in dire need of new blood and the powerful abilities they could bring to the battlefront. To be the saviors that humanity needs, they need to surpass the limits of those that came before them.

Story
Have you ever felt like there was something inside of you pushing your actions? A dormant beast, so to speak. I know it sounds crazy. But, that’s the best way I could describe how I’ve felt for a long time. I thought it was normal, some animal part of the human brain that lingered from evolution. But, this is the story of how I learned I wasn’t exactly human, and there was a world underneath our own where all the things that go bump in the night live. And, that my beast was very real indeed.

Fight, survive, adapt, and rely only on yourself. That is Derek’s creed and what's got him through the System Integration on Earth. Everything changed when the System came. Cute bunnies and beautiful butterflies became savage killing machines. Then the Invaders arrived with a single goal: to obtain ownership of this new habitable planet. War has raged ever since. None of this mattered much to Derek, aside from making living a little more perilous.

Story
The ancient magic of wizards was anything but dark. It was the enlightenment that lifted humanity from the squalor of superstition, and the worship of fell spirits and capricious gods, but those days are gone. The shining glory of the sorcerers burned away the subtlety of wisdom, replacing it with easy power, held only in the hands of the elite - a new age built upon the elemental supremacy of aristocrats and the ignorance of the masses.

Fantastic. I can't believe there aren't more reviews on this one. Really solid story with hints of a little bit of everything. Crafting, adventuring, looting, mana system and progression, all without droning on or getting all lewd and weird.

Great Introduction to LitRPG
Very PG. Light on stats. I'd say it's suitable for ages 10 and up. MC is a good role model. This series just has all my favorite elements packed in and it still manages to flow nicely. You don't get bogged down with overdone emotional content or other annoying traits. Progression is steady, comfortable and fun. Not dark. Secondary dramaless romance. Contains elements of cultivation, town building and overcoming racial prejudice.

It's good but the writing could be better
I'm a little ignorant of the writers background, I won't pretend as if I know but, the writing, in my opinion, could've been much better. I'll avoid spoilers for this review for anybody thinking about buying the book.
I like the story itself, more the concept than anything, but I feel like a lot is rushed, major things that could've been in more detail that would've expanded on the whole story and the characters and character development, especially at the start.
Other things is that some things that happened felt as if it wasn't thought through properly, as if the writer was writing the book and suddenly decided to add something minor or major that drastically changes things somehow for the better.
Overall I still like the book and I'll still get the second one and listen to it but it's quite a few flaws in my opinion that sort of put me off as to wanting to listen to it more. If you like this type of book, please feel free to listen to it, especially if it only costs a credit or so.
Bit of a spoiler at the end here so be warned
I felt throughout the story, nothing TRULY bad could happen to the main characters, they all had the thickest plot armor, no matter how bad something may seem, they profit from it like crazy and I feel it takes away a lot of the suspense of intense moments.

Great Read with a fun, adventure story.
Good for most ages, NO XXX scenes or profanity. Very intereetsed going to school story, with quests, treasure hunting and learning defence, fighting and magic. It’s definitely an underdog story.
Listened with my kids. Will purchase the next one for sure!

Good Story. Ok Narration.
I have listened to the first 3 books in this series and have come to the realization that I enjoy the book but feel the narrator misses the mark. The book borrows ideas from several similar series' to this one but makes them their own in an entertaining way. I do feel it's worth mentioning that the narrator misses the mark with how the characters present themselves. A multi century dragon somehow sounds like an old lady while some of the main characters don't always seem to reflect what the author was trying to present in Narration. Overall still an enjoyable listen but could be better with different narration.

Flat writing and stilted narration
The story starts with a very flat "racism is bad", "boy is bullied", "why can't everyone be nice" arc, and it doesn't get more nuanced or interesting than that.
Sometimes a great narrator can save a story like this, but this is some of the most stilted and off-pace narration I've heard. It's hard to follow or engage because the pauses are so long and inconsistent, that there's really not much flow.
