Summary

Otherworldly invasions. Nuclear meltdowns converted to dark power. A quest assigned by the planet itself.

Three weeks ago the world started anew as buildings literally stood up, fearsome monsters materialized, and humanity’s way of life changed forever. Now, Rockland Barkclay must continue to protect his people from a new threat while dealing with internal issues that keep popping up. For instance, will he choose to heed the warning of his resurrected Ancestral Guide as she notices the edges of an ancient conspiracy?

Things take a turn for the worse thanks to a freshly awakened God - or was it the fearsome evolution of Earth's wildlife? Regardless of the cause, the group discovers something dark and twisted in the Atlantean System, invited by a recent unmanned nuclear catastrophe.

The apocalypse isn’t over; it’s just luring everyone into a false sense of security.

Thrilling read

Great twist to the norm litrpg genre, only down side I'd like a bit more world building and Insight to the past.

excellent

Rocky's by far one of my favourite MC whenever he loses his temper and goes into psychotic killer mode. I like how they are struggling and working to make a safe refuge rather than there just magically being one found

Somewhat unique

I'm a big fan of LitRPG; I remember reading Ian Livingstone books when I was a teenager.
I'm very cynical in general and also judgmental of LitRPG since the Genre is getting somewhat saturated with lacklustre books, there are 4 or 5 series that I actively enjoy -- Aether Collapse is one.

It's somewhat unique in it's presentation of a world-turned-RPG setting of the LitRPG genre, it doesn't recycle many themes at all (such as an overly self-doubting protagonist; which in this case actually fits into the story-line (could be a little smoother for me but hey it's a great job overall)), has completely unique plot points and excecution therein.

And as for the narrator, Luke Daniels -- you could NOT have picked a BETTER narrator in my opinion. Luke Daniels is a 11/10 narrator and meshes with this books perfectly.

Top LADS.

A bit disappointing

A lot of filler not a lot of progression.

the entire start of the book is simply describing how Rocky is delusional and seeing things.

Then they get to his territory go on two expeditions to do things and the books over.

also the fighting was mostly just
"we cant possibly win!"
Rocky: "let me try this wierd ring"
"omg your so amazing rocky"

no new skills, plans or forethought. No progression or answers just a vague hint that the society in the past was sexiest. oh and Mars is waking up but he didn't say its name cause that would make it an answer to a question the reader has.

not sure why the author bothered writing this as it's just frustrating how much filler there is. if you've read this review you know everything you need to read the next one. My advice skip this one and hopefully there's some better writing in the next one.

Also luke for the last time warrior is not pronounced like that:)

Okay

It was okay. Entertaining enough to finish, but the writing quality isn't where it needs to be. A lot of dialogue and game prompts are unnatural, and there are a great many misused words, or words that are just invented when there are already perfectly good English words that could have been used in their place.

I also kinda get the feeling that the author freaked out about the reviews slamming his fake cursing and put a band aid on it at the beginning of this book. It didn't work. The language filter in a story that takes place in the real world was ridiculous.
