Regan was a robotics scientist that caused the robot takeover of the world. When his last creation finally completes his plan to free himself, it destroys the world in the process. Destruction offers him a second chance to test his wits and cunning in another world. Now tasked with a goal that would upset the balance of a new world, Regan might be a bit more than the people of the world can handle.

This is an alternative retelling of the first Dungeon Robotics book: Establish. All the characters have been altered slightly, and there are new characters. Only the initial chapters have a resemblance to the first book and quickly change paths to a darker side of things.

This is a great story as long as you go into expecting something darker and imo for more mature listeners. If you have listened to the other series Dungeon Robotics dont go in expecting the same thing. This has a radically different tone, more realistic world build and is much faster paced. I really enjoyed the narrator's style as I feel he managed to set a darker atmosphere. I also think he did a pretty good job with the different characters voices without being too over the top.
Looking forward to the next one and keep up the good work

A great story in the same universe

Physicist + robotics scientist 'Regan' is a megalomaniacal sociopath sacrificing dozens of slaves at a time without flinching while building a town/dungeon. 'Louella' is a secondary character enacting Regan's plans while navigating her own personal relationships - a morally-upright helpful DPS Mage working effectively in a dungeon-delving team, but also just fine with her boss's blatant misanthropy. TBH, I was frequently lost during this Matthew Peed GameLit tale.
The action was reasonably well-choreographed and the author's character interactions were thoughtful, but I found the often insupportable protagonists baffling. I lost interest/investment in the narrative by about Chapter Six.

As to presentation: reader Tristan Morris is solidly professional, but nothing special. To be sure there's nothing particularly deficient in the narration.. but neither is there anything particularly noteworthy. Tantor Media Inc. cast this project "adequately".

Altogether, 'Overshadow: Dungeon Annihilation Series, Book 1' is appropriately on the 'Plus' menu. I rate it worth 3.5/10-stars. I could see fans familiar with the 'Dungeon Robotics' Series enjoying the change in perspective, but I haven't read those books. I just got confused. Pass.

Ugh - Unlikeable MC(s)
