About this listen

The human race has become nearly extinct.

Allistor and his small group push to make themselves stronger, fighting to survive the year-long stabilization.

Forced to battle increasingly stronger and more deadly monsters, they work to expand their holdings, learn better spells, and gather resources to improve their crafting.

Dungeons must be cleared, and dragons defeated. Fellow survivors are found - some friendly, some hostile.

Allistor considers every human life precious, but when it becomes a case of kill or be killed, hard choices must be made.

And each day brings them closer to the invasion of Earth.

I enjoyed the exciting action, monsters I never hope to encounter and the diversity of survivors approaches to a world wide apocalypse. A strong story delivered by excellent performers.

Overall this is an amazing book and series. Most interactions between the different factions seem realistic and natural. The system is great and characters dont speed through levelling within an instant. The fight scenes are not long and dragged out they include the right amount of detail and last a good amount of time. I'm definitely invested to continue this series. Also the MC is likeable and the side characters are hilarious.

Epic post-apocalyptic book

I enjoyed the book, and found less issues that niggled me than I did in the first one. For starters the main character does uses his spells better than the first book, especially barrier, as in the first book half the time he ran through doors or got shot up before he even thought to use it, if he used it at all. He does fail to use his shadow-step type spell though. Super powerful spell for combat, yet he keeps running around getting shot up once again.

I did get cranky over his use of stat points as they made no sense in some cases. In the beginning when he was using a spear strength made sense, but since then he has been using spells or guns 99% of the time. So he should be putting points in agility or dexterity instead of strength, and any MMORPG gamer would be doing that. Speed of movement and range ability suit his class and the way he fights far more than melee build points. Also, he really should add descriptions of ability rank ups, as right now they are meaningless. Like what does it mean if you gain flying level 1 and increase it to level 4? What bonuses does it give the character? He never bothers to say, so it feels like empty words.

Lastly, I find it odd and somewhat annoying no-one calls him out on his rants about taking the fight to the aliens. It's so delusional I can't see someone not speaking up. For one it's a coalition of planets he has no knowledge of yet, or if they are all worthy of blame. Then he is talking about attacking aliens that have the power to instantly move a planet across the galaxy without ripping it apart or killing anyone on that planet. They then have the power to make you superpowered compared to everything you were. Do you really think beings would do all that if you were ANY threat to them at all? No. Not to mention the other worlds that might have been using the same levelling system for centuries. They could for example have millions of people at level 200+.

I'm all for wanting justice in his place, but an ant may want justice if I crushed it's house - doesn't mean it will ever, ever happen. If it does in future books, I hope the author has a very good way to explain how they would do so, when right now humanity is on the brink of going out.

The book is good though despite my complaints. The characters are good, the story overall is engaging. I'm not sure the level of monster encounters would have wiped out so much of the human race though, given he seems one of only a few that met a Void Titan. Definitely good enough for four stars and worth a read. I just like to point out the type of things that made me drop it a star.

Good read and better than first one.

This is by far my favourite Audiobook series, and is a primary example of why LitRPG is becoming so popular! Dave Willmarth for me is up there with the best, and what I truly like about his style is that he actually gives you a well round book, and does not cut it into 2 or 3 smaller books that leave you waiting months before real progression is made in the story. You actually feel as if the story has progressed and if you haven’t already I would suggest this series as your next read…..keep them coming Dave!!

What a story!

Just as the title says; book 2 continues in the same vein as the first.
Even after finishing this book it feels as though we're just getting started into what could be a lengthy series.

Narration was very impressive as always from the people at SBT; even the small things like a faint echo in the voice when a character was calling out from another room. All of those tiny details can easily be missed listening to the recording, but I for one very much appreciated them.

Looking forward to the next!

Excellent, much like the first.

The children character voices were particularly annoying and i personally dont like the sound effects as they are more immersion breaking than adding to the book. The time jumps and battles can be a little confusing. Otherwise decent story and world building, with an annoying Main Character

Decent

even though I'm slightly enjoying the series, my main gripe with the books are with the main character. He's a big ol Mary Sue dispite the fact he makes numerous mistakes getting people killed ,everyone just claps him on that back like "oh well" my other main problem is every bad guy is soo 2d with only 1 character trait which means Alistair never has a moral dilemma apart from should he kill them or fuzzy eat them
