About this listen

Books one through three in the hit The Path of Ascension series are now available in this special audio bundle. It also includes book 3.5, an exclusive novella set between books three and four in the series.

Orphaned by monsters, Matt must power-up to save others from the same fate.

Matt plans to delve the rifts responsible for the monsters that destroyed his city and murdered his parents. But his dreams are crushed when his Tier One Talent is rated as detrimental, and no guild or group will take him.

Working at a nearby inn, he meets a mysterious and powerful couple who give him a chance to join the Path of Ascension, an empire-wide race to ascend the Tiers and become living legends.

With their recommendation and a stolen Skill, Matt begins his journey to the peak of power. Maybe then, he can get vengeance he seeks....

About the series: This is a mix between LitRPG and xianxia. It's like a car that looks like a LitRPG with dungeons and skills, but the interior and engine are all xianxia. It features a magic system and progression system that are logically and internally consistent, as well as realistic fight scenes and a rational MC.

Excellent Story

incredible value for 3 . 5 books but the 0.5 book is literally just a recap of the last coupe hours of book 3 from another characters POV compressed to about an hr. adds really no new information. filler

Great Addition To The Genre, DoTF vibes

A fun world created by the author.
Narrator has a good voice but doesn't chose the right voices for characters lines, making women sound whiney and men sound monotonous.
The frustrating part of this review is the story's MC is given armour that can't be penetrated, warrior skills that can't be beaten and an "endless" supply of mana giving him unlimited magic spell powers.

So him and his team keep getting stronger and the enemies never become interesting enough to care about because it's the MC is just going to struggle to understand a new gimmick for 3 pages and then use unlimited magic power to brute force any situation.

I guess listen to the series if you want a 50+ hour story for one credit. But it is a forgettable experience.

Unthought out and overpowered MC powers make plot progression repetitive and predictable
