About this listen

From International Best-Selling Author Stuart Thaman:

The Seven Portals to Wonder changed the world. The most advanced AI ever created powered the worlds, bringing infinite possibilities and endless adventure to everyone across the globe. War on Earth practically ceased as most of the planet's population became addicted to the game.

Ben Hales was no different. He spent a few years saving enough money to buy lifetime passes for himself and his daughter, Ingrid. Now he has the cash, and Ingrid just turned 16, the minimum age required to play.

Not everything - or everyone - in Wonder is quite as it seems. Evil lurks both inside and outside the game, and that evil finds Ben all too soon.

Ravaged by loss and consumed by hatred, Ben awakens an ancient necromancer and a host of long-forgotten classes. Now he's building his citadel of darkness and raising an army of the dead with a singular goal: revenge.

If it means the death of everyone inside Wonder...so be it.

This book dosent know what it wants to be. Although the start was interesting even though the MC was purposely weighted. They abandoned the daughter-father party dynamic in the most contrived and stupid way imaginable. It wasnt even a surprise once the admin messages showed up, there was no weight to the death since they had one quest together.

The only unique element was the so called gates of wonder was abandoned aswell. The litrpg elements are mishandled as the novel doesn't follow the cause and effect style the genre is associated with.

The MC is woefully immature for a 47 year old, he blames all his actions on his dead daughter. He recruits literal terrorists and psychopaths and claims that he had a job in government where he fired someone for being lazy which is the worst excuse the author could come up with. There is alot of double standards and events that do not mesh well with what would really happen.

Its not dark, its stupid. Im not keen for a second book.

Identity crisis.
