About this listen
Books one through three in the hit The Path of Ascension series are now available in this special audio bundle. It also includes book 3.5, an exclusive novella set between books three and four in the series.
Orphaned by monsters, Matt must power-up to save others from the same fate.
Matt plans to delve the rifts responsible for the monsters that destroyed his city and murdered his parents. But his dreams are crushed when his Tier One Talent is rated as detrimental, and no guild or group will take him.
Working at a nearby inn, he meets a mysterious and powerful couple who give him a chance to join the Path of Ascension, an empire-wide race to ascend the Tiers and become living legends.
With their recommendation and a stolen Skill, Matt begins his journey to the peak of power. Maybe then, he can get vengeance he seeks....
About the series: This is a mix between LitRPG and xianxia. It's like a car that looks like a LitRPG with dungeons and skills, but the interior and engine are all xianxia. It features a magic system and progression system that are logically and internally consistent, as well as realistic fight scenes and a rational MC.

It’s not easy making the career jump from office-supplies-store middle manager to heroic interdimensional adventurer. At least, Jason tries to be heroic, but it's hard to be good when all your powers are evil. He’ll face off against cannibals, cultists, wizards, monsters...and that’s just on the first day. He’s going to need courage, he’s going to need wit, and he’s going to need some magic powers of his own. But first, he’s going to need pants.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 207
Felix's life on Earth had become a series of dead-end jobs, ruined relationships, and rotating apartments smaller than most postage stamps. By all accounts, even his own, he was a coward. Too afraid to move forward, to take risks. Yet when given the chance to choose between risking his life or walking away from a deadly encounter, he didn't hesitate. Moments before his untimely demise, Felix was snatched from earth and thrust into a magical world known only as "The Continent". Empowered by the "System", he learns that he can strengthen himself through combat and dedication.

Ilea likes punching things. And eating. Unfortunately, there aren’t too many career options for hungry brawlers. Instead, the plan is to quit her crappy fast-food job, go to college, and become a fully functioning member of society. Essentially—a fate worse than death.

When summoned to a fantastical world and granted powers by a broken System, most freshly minted protagonists would strap on their big-boy boots and get ready for their stats to start climbing. But Fischer isn't like most MCs. In fact, he doesn't want to be a hero at all. Fame? Fortune? Power? He had enough of all that in his old life. Discovering forbidden fishing techniques and petting every cute animal that comes within scritching distance? Now that's a good time.

Due to unusual circumstances, Randidly starts in an isolated dungeon far beyond his level, forced to rely on the mysterious Traveler Shal in order to learn and survive with the dangerous new status quo for his world. But survive he does, only to leave the dungeon and discover that while he experienced several hellish months in the dungeon, only half a day passed on Earth. Randidly's capabilities are now more than enough to help build a small enclave of survivors, but that doesn't mean balancing his sense of responsibility against the plots of an unfriendly town will be easy.

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.

Hall had played the VRMMORPG Sky Realms Online since beta. During one gaming session, a freak accident traps Hall and other players in the game. They awaken to find out their bodies are comatose and that they have been downloaded fully into the virtual world. Even worse, the rules have changed, they've been forced back to level one, and permadeath might be possible.

Amazing Story & Amazing Narrator!
TL;DR Great progression story, well written and exciting. Amazing Narration. Great Value with 3 books + novella. 9.5/10 overall, definitely pick it up!
just an amazing progression/xianxia story.. this was my first xianxia after reading a bit of litrpgs, although definitely quite different there are enough similarities if you came from litrpgs. The story is great, always hooked and want to hear/read more! The progression is also well planned out, steady most of the time with rare power leaps for more significant progress. The narration is great! There's so many awful narrators out there, at times they've even made me quit a series altogether because I just couldn't stand listening anymore. Its definitely not the BEST narration I've ever heard (the narrators for Dungeon Crawler Carl & The Black Tongue Thief are 2 of my favs, the later even being the actual author which is insane)..
Overall, I'd give this a 9.5/10!

good listen, not enough character struggle for main character
to much single perspective and the main character does not face enough struggle (way to OP so the struggles they did face seemed a little bit weak)

So... much... filler...
Bland good guy protag that most of us seen tons of times. Predictable story with veeeery slow progression and barely any twists or surprises.
I guess this story is good for background listening while multitasking. It doesn't require much focus to know what's going on.

Not for me
Gave it a try but couldn't make it past chapter 10. The story is interesting and it might get better but the writing is really not that great. What I really couldn't stand was the narration. It sounds like all the characters are always talking very loudly to be heard over an unheard noise or something. They are almost shouting instead of casually talking and I find it very irritating.

decent for a credit
iseki meets cyberpunk esk . like alot of other lite rpg this book falls into this pattern of worrie about money(teir) buying skills , and leveling up like a video game , the story at first drags you into the world and explains how the world works . then tosses it to the side for a make believe war with no risk and one of the most bland written MC . one of those story's where everything just works out for the MC just because .
ok for a listen but won't be getting book 4 unless in cones in a combo pack like the first 3
