About this listen

Chosen by the Gods, Akio must rise… or fall!

A Heavenly messenger warns of an upcoming apocalypse, thrusting Akio into a new reality filled with endless dangers and miraculous opportunities.

But those who dwell within jealously guard their wealth and power.

Accompanied by an enigmatic and beautiful Faerie princess, the only chance for Akio — and Earth — is to gather companions, level up, and become the unlikely saviours of both their worlds.

When you start from nothing, the only way to go is up!

On Astral Tides is a Light Novel inspired LitRPG containing territory control and alliance building, social aspects, relationships and romance.

I don't normally write reviews as I'm too lazy to. This series is one of the best I've ever read. This stands in my mind at least alongside The Wandering Inn and Primal Hunter as some of the most impressively complex and amazing worldbuilding and story I've ever seen. Once it was released as an audiobook, I had to buy it instantly and listen. Hoping for book 2 soon.

Love this series
