Publisher's summary

Sam was surfing with his cat when the world ended.

Suddenly enlisted into a battle to fend off annihilation, Sam seizes the strength of the void to survive.

In the aftermath, Sam is thrown into a new world shattered into floating islands with survivors from Earth. Training and fighting with his giant sword and apocalyptic mana alongside his magical healer cat, Sam's unusually quick to adapt to this deadly realm of monsters and magic.

With endless threats to face and countless powers to attain, Sam's journey of ascension climbing has only just begun.

But first, he'll have to forge a legend of his own.

Blending slice-of-life with epic fantasy action, cultivation, mystery, layer/tower climbing, dungeon delving, kingdom building, and intricate magic systems, this LitRPG/GameLit series is a perfect fit for listeners who enjoy exploring richly detailed worlds, complex characters, and an ever-evolving struggle for the protagonists to make a home in their new world.

Good and different

Different from most LITRPG in that the targeted world isn’t a direct analogue. Floating islands.

While MC is OP, lots of bad stuff happens to him and those around him.

While most stories make things a cake walk, this MC seems to struggle. Also the isn’t cringe when the bad guys are bad. You don’t feel like they were being evil to fit the story. There’s back story to help suggest this person wasn’t good to begin with.

4 stars. Joe Bob says check it out.

awesome work

really enjoyed it.

it was a pleasant and awesome book.

I really hope to see more in this amazing series.

awesome stuff ,love to see more.

nice world building

This story is great. Fun world building and a diverse group of characters. dissapoinring that the other books aren't out yet. I'll be waiting audible..

A good start, looking forward to seeing where the author goes.

Pretty good as a whole, I feel this is an upgrade to the authors other beastborn series. So far the main character hasn't gotten too OP, it has a better pacing, and world building elements then that other series. Agree with other reviews of too many stat overviews being used in the chapters. I am cautiously optimistic to get the follow up titles in the future.

A man and his cat and his ghost

The plot is similar to other progression fantasies where mundane Earth and other magical worlds are catastrophically blended with humans having to learn to level up or die. Still, the protagonist is interesting and starts out as a, seemingly, slacker working in a dead-end job. As he and his co-workers and companions are thrust in the new environment ... a new beginning is forced on them all, with the MC reluctantly at first, but begins to take on leadership qualities that had not surfaced before. There is some intrigue and backstabbing that takes place and it is interesting how the authors mold each character based on their hidden personalities when on Earth.

Luke Daniels does a a fine job on mimicking the voices of the humans but his cat voice is a too gruff to find interesting.

I look forward to the next book.

not too bad

enjoyable enough to mage it through the book. looking forward to reading more. thank you

enjoyable

characters are likable. I did have to speed up 1.15 goes by slow if you don't The cat is the best part of the book it's work to listen to. I will definitely be picking up the next one

Great start excepr, in some ways, it's the middle

This is a great start to a series. By the same time, it seems like it's the middle in that there is 2 main characters, one of the characters. Her story sort of seems as though she's coming in midway through her own story and introducing the secondary character which is the main character. So this sort of seems as though that secondary character's book should have been made first. It may seem confusing, but once you've read this, you'll understand

A good showing

Book was good had a few hitchups with switching point of views sometimes you don’t even realize they did till later. But overall an excellently done book.

Soooo many stats overview

I am just at 20 chapter. But I swear that it starts to feel like author uses stat overview as word counter to hit minimum word count for a book or something. Having it even twice in 1 chapter is just overkill, and having one after each level up without much change is overkill too!!!
