Publisher's Summary

Trapped between worlds. Potentia might be the way out. Time to kill Something.

Luke is an apprentice leather worker, training with his family to one day take over the business. He and his friends Andre, Taylor, and Zed have known each other forever, and swear that nothing will ever tear apart their friendship.

Then the Royal Decree comes. With the Dynasty of Dogs invading, and strange monsters appearing in the Hollow Kingdom, a draft has been implemented. Everyone 17 or older is required to be tested for "Potential". If they have it, they will join the mysterious and renowned Ascender Corps. If not, they will be drafted into the Legion as a forced recruit.

Three of the friends test as powerful, or dangerous, classes of Ascender. Luke is found to have Potential, barely, but when he steps through the portal to begin his training…he is pulled to a plane that shouldn't exist. With no class trainer, the possibility of survival is low. Luke decides that he wants to live, and keeping his humanity isn't going to help.

His best chance is going Full Murderhobo.

Super keen for the following books!!

Great book to listen to, the narrator is great but there are a few times in the book where there's a lot of number being read out and it's a little hard to follow along with, but honestly not that important to the storyline as you can pick up from the context of what's happening, to what the numbers do mean.
No spoilers but if you listen to this book you'll understand.

Overall would I definitely recommend this book.

Simply the best.

Better than all the rest.
Really good litrpg/cultivator type story, a decently fair split between plot and system exposition.
Really good story and pacing, the madness is portrayed real well. Honestly I am kinda rooting for Zed as long as he teams up with Luke.
You just had to put one more "Ruthless" in there didn't you?

Ended up hooked

took me a about an hour to really get into it, and get use to the narration style but I really ended up enjoying it by the end and was keen to see how it all ended and I'll be going on in the series. Found it quite amusing at times but the stats do definitely go on longer than they should in a few spots and a bit too frequent, but all in all I enjoyed and will finisj the series at this point. Also the bloopers at the end were great, wish more books had that ahahaha

A funny and interesting litRPG

A really enjoyable story, with humour and interesting themes. I hope the series is continued.

Engaging story, excellent narration

The narrator really brings life into the story with an engaging performance.
The story itself has some very detailed litrpg elements, which do drag on a bit, however, the narrator delivers them with an infectiously cheerful tone which allows them to fly by.
The multiple perspectives covered in the story at first perplexed me as some are clearly more interesting than others, however, later in the story the summation of them leads to an interesting teamup, and future for the series.
Looking forward to the next book.

70% Boring Training Montage, 30% Exciting Action

Let me start by saying that there's a lot to like about this book. The humor is great, the magic system is complex and unique, the narration is well done (and the voices vary). The writing decent - especially for litrpg, which has it's share of poorly edited shockers.

Unfortunately, the book had two big problems for me.

The first was something a lot of other people have noted in their reviews - this is a multiple POV book. Now, don't get me wrong - I really enjoy these types of books. Usually. But here... it just didn't work. The series title and art are so intriguing I downloaded it specifically to listen to a story about a murderhobo.

What I *got* was 40%-murderhobo and 60% other-characters-whose-primary-duty-is to-infodump-stuff-the-writer-needs-the-reader-to-know. Seriously, huge chunks of the book felt like infodumps - I know a lot about the world, but didn't ever really see that knowledge in action until the end.

Second was that large parts of the book were... well... boring. I mean, the main character spends [minor spoilers] something like 10 years book time fighting goats. It makes for some hilarious 'I hate goats' jokes, but he doesn't get past them until (literally) three and a half hours into the audiobook. Three and a half hours. It's not even a very original monster!

The book was decent enough that I didn't put it down, but I don't think I'll be continuing the series.
