About this listen

The apocalypse is coming, but only a lucky—or perhaps unlucky—few know.

Silas is inducted into the System, becoming the last in a long line of Earth's "forerunners." The rewards are great, but the danger is greater. We are not alone in the universe. The fate of five worlds hangs on how their forerunners perform.

Will Silas have what it takes to win Earth a place in the multiverse? Or will Earth become another mining world stripped of all resources and left a barren husk floating in the cosmos?

A system-enforced secret, a deadly challenge, and only a year to go. The countdown begins now!

give it a chance.

it has a bit confusing start but overall it is a good starting setup for a litrpg. I enjoyed it and will continue the series. I think some people got hang ups with the mc persona but I think the idea is to convey how the system is changing him and affecting him as a person. the powers and staging for different fights is good and escales quite well 👌. any ways I hope you enjoy it too 😀

A great start to an earth apocalypse LITRPG

This is a great twist on the idea of earth being enrolled into the multiverse, with a few “forerunners” leading the way before the rest of the world, fighting for their place.

It has good pacing, lots of action, a relatable MC, and those sweet sweet stats we all love, but put in their own chapters so they can be skipped if you want.

Add to that Sean dropping both pop culture references and enough references to other LITRPG books to make it meta without being cringe, and you have a great start to what I hope will be an epic series.

Lastly, it’s read by the one and only Travis Baldree, so what’s not to love?

A real surprise - thoroughly enjoyed !

I didn't really know what to expect from this book, but I enjoyed it immensely. The pacing was great, the main character has (what i would judge) as a very realistic reaction to circumstances and the author uses the unique perspective to give great examples of their moral dilemma. This helps you to get to know them a lot better a lot sooner and avoid the usual exposition - more in the vein of "show" not "tell".

Very much enjoyed

Nice Litrpg works well

Im focused on detail - a time of 29 minutes for 10km would put you in the top 700 worldwide of all time. The coach would be utterly amazed. Mid 30s would make you a good college track runner get the small things right. Otherwise i really enjoyed.

Fantastic

Everything I hoped it would be - a relatable and interesting MC who is flawed but not too hard or soft in their thinking. Very interesting world and I can’t wait to see how things progress.

A solid addition to LitRPGs

I have to say I like the main character; I like the way they have structured this world, and it was very easy to get into this and simply enjoy it. Nothing felt egregiously overpowered, at least within the boundaries of this kind of work, and I found myself rooting for Silas pretty quickly. Travis once again prove he's an amazing narrator

Solid world building with relatable main character

I didn’t expect this to be so good! The story is pretty tight, adding character development, world building and a few distinct adventures without meandering too far.

I won’t go into details, but the system is flexible and allows for a lot of creativity.

A nice touch is that the stat sheets are in their own chapters, so you can skip them if they’re not your jam (I think this should be a standard practice for the genre).

I also appreciate that the author glosses over a lot of the notifications, only reading them out when they can add context or further the plot.

As for the progression curve, the main character grows pretty quickly but the inclusion of much stronger characters gives a sense of scale, saving it from feeling rushed.

The narration is flawless.

If you like “He Who Fights with Monsters”, I think you’ll like this too.

I enjoyed it

I have enjoyed listening. I just do hope that the story has an ending somewhere down the line. I’ve listened to many of this type of book and just as you get invested in the character and the story they don’t write anymore.

Banger

The characters are relateable, the story is well written, and the dialogue is smooth. Pop-culture references galore and nods at other LiT RPG stories, but it's all presented in a way that leaves out the cringe. Excellent!
