Advent of Eternity

A LitRPG Adventure (Shattered System Book 1)

By: Actus

Narrated by: Jeremy Frazier

Nothing lives forever. Not even the Gods...

A clock hangs over the head of every mortal. Counting down to the inescapable day that the Goddess of Death claims them. That is the way of the world. The natural cycle of mortals.

The Gods, however, were said to live for forever. To exist so far outside of the natural laws of the universe that even their crimes can't be punished. But Knell Coba, at great cost, realizes this is nothing but another lie.

The Gods can be tricked. They can be defeated. They can die.

To most, seeking the head of the Goddess would be the actions of a madman. But Knell knows that nothing exists forever. Together with his loyal crew, he can use his cunning and grow strong enough to get his revenge... no matter the cost...

Don't miss the next action-packed LitRPG Series from Actus, bestselling author of Blackmist and Cleaver's Edge, about a tactician with access to a System, his crew, and his quest for mortal revenge.

What a fun book as we dash headlong into book1...

Getting this book was a no-brainer since I enjoy Atcus and although I worried about missing Peter Berkrot's narration, it turned out that Jeremy Frazier was equally good and smoothly grabbed the baton without stumbling.
The MC Knell Coba learned the hard way that he could not trust the gods. And yes in this reality they do exist, albeit outside the natural laws of the mortal realm. Believing that they're invincible and safe from any punishment humans could impose. So yeah, ignore a believers plea for help. No problem... Kill a believer... what could happen? Absolutely nothing.
Well Knell Coba knows better than that, his father said so. And Knell on the faith of his father makes a one, or maybe two man army planning to get stronger inorder to survive his recokning. Along the way they pick up a couple more adventures ready dash headlong into the adventure to see that Knell's plans come to fruition. Here be pirates too...

No good

Did not finish boring slow dumb characters and story line was was un interesting. That’s all

solid start of a plot armor hero.

solid start of a plot armor hero. but in a good way and fun side characters

The MC is filled to the max with unfounded bravado

The main character has the kind of arrogance that only major plot armor could carry through an entire book. Skipping past the overall completely uninspired dialogue; The book is filled with cringe comments that seem to only serve as the author's way of demonstrating just how cool and awesome their character is. That alone wouldn't be so bad but the amount of contradictory statements the MC makes in order to make us believe this drags on. The constant flaunting of I got secrets and this is why you're wrong between character interactions makes the MC into a massive Edge Lord. I honestly don't know why the Author would write a character like this; Was it just lazy writing or a deep need to finally live out all their angsty teenage desires via proxy of writer and listener? With that being said it's hard to properly judge the performance when the writing is this bad. If I ignore the bits of bad dialogue I can reasonably say the performance was decent. Hopefully, The narrator doesn't take the negative reviews too harshly. A turd is a turd no matter how much perfume you put on it. As for the author all I have to say is do better in the future. I'm severely disappointed with this book. I've read some of your other books and they're not nearly as bad. Good luck in your future endeavors.

You’ve got my attention, but…

I’m not going to lie, the voice of Styx is specifically grating. And am I mistaken or did Maya clench her “fists” in Styx’s bedroom even though she only has one hand? I tried to follow up on the MC’s stat sheet on RR, but I think it’s missing the Advent of Eternity bit. The shards, boons, and other items are very vaguely defined, but I think the story has good potential and will listen to future installments most likely.
