About this listen

The Initiation has begun. As the universe merges into the multiverse, its inhabitants are thrust into a trial designed to prepare them for the sweeping changes that will redefine existence itself.

Alistair’s life is turned upside down when he is abruptly separated from his friends and family. As the universe slowly transforms and new laws take hold, everyone within his universe is cast into the trial—a crucible of survival and transformation. Before being set on his path, Alistair encounters a system avatar—a brief and enigmatic guide who offers little explanation, guidance, or aid before sending him and the rest of his universe into the unknown.

Stranded on a trial world, Alistair must fight to survive. Delving into dungeons, hunting great beasts, and navigating the diverse Trial Worlds and Subspaces, he begins a desperate quest to reunite with his loved ones.

Along the way, he finds his soulmate—a demoness from another world. Together, they face the trial, forge bonds, and grow stronger as they uncover what the future holds for them and the rest of their universe.

Could of been a whole lot better, felt like they grabbed concept's and ideas from other books to make this one somewhat workable, combat was okay but that could be due to narrator. I hate the self aware characters because Authors don't truly understand what it's actually meant to be like so we get the thoughts, decisions and actions and then the explanation all together so it's both frustrating and annoying. Also narrator Adam mispronounced a lot of words, common and basic words,it actually annoyed me.

Pretty bland overall

I have no complaints about the story even if it seems simple and cliche' I can appreciate a cliche' story at times.

The performance doesn't feel as interesting as other voice overs I've heard so I can't give it 5 stars.

Clear and concise but lacking wow factor

Has great potential to be a great series and universe as you can easily have multiple definitely protagonist throughout the universe's.

I very much enjoyed the pacing and world building, the characters are also easily likeable and have growth beyond just getting more powerful.

definitely worth it can't wait for book 2
