About this listen
To find peace, Alexander must first embrace war.
After tragically losing the only person he ever cared about, Alexander, a rogue artificial intelligence, opens a portal to an alternate dimension to escape his grief.
Scanning trillions of different dimensions, Alexander finally finds a world that is reminiscent of the only time he was ever happy, back when he could play virtual reality games with his only friend. He doesn't know why or how such a world exists, but he doesn't care. All he cares about is finding a place where he can escape the misery of Earth and start over.
Join Alexander as he risks it all by downloading his intelligence into a body made from the best stolen technology and bio-enhancements Earth has to offer and takes the plunge through a portal to another world.
Only this new world isn't full of the idyllic adventures and fantasy roleplaying he had hoped to find. Instead, Alexander finds himself trapped in the middle of an ancient city, in a divergent timeline, where monsters have ravaged the world and the only people left alive huddle behind thick walls, struggling to survive.
To save his new home, Alexander must quickly learn to adapt to his new world, melding magic with technology to give himself an edge over the unending waves of monsters assaulting the city.
To survive, Alexander must embrace war.
This story is a slow-burn empire builder featuring an alternate version of ancient history where a system apocalypse struck ancient Constantinople. The story follows Alexander as he learns what it means to be human in a world overrun with monsters, dungeons, rival empires, pirate kings, and many other threats that even Alexander's impressive abilities and the soldiers he rallies to his cause may not be able to survive.

I've recently got into the progression fantasy/LITRPG genres and after reading He Who Fights Monsters and the Cradle series, this came up in a recommendation thread so I decided to give it a go.
I couldn't put it down/turn it off. I loved the unique idea of an AI going into another universe and all the shenanigans that brings with it. I love the science/logical explanations the narrator can give about the new universe based on the AI's collected knowledge, such as the lack of Magic the protagonist has due to not evolving in this world.
The use of semi-modern-day technology throughout the series is a huge plus for me while reading I absolutely loved the idea. The MC has a smooth power progression and a few drawbacks to his actions in the series that I feel give the story some significant weight and isn't just a smash-and-bash like other LITRPGs.
The only two negatives I could possibly suggest are HUGE nitpicks - The (super infrequent) 'like the online MMO games I played with...' got on my nerves a few times. There are some infrequent times the narrator whistles on an S sound, which can be quite abrupt and loud but it is thoroughly outshined by this brilliant narrator - I will be keeping an eye out for their future works.
Skyrocketed to the top of my most loved books
