Publisher's summary

Dorian survived the desert by the skin of his teeth. Now he’s at the Oasis, a marvel of technology and magic ripe for the conquering. He plans to continue his speedrun, sucking the Oasis’ resources dry and going on his merry way.

THE MULTIVERSE HAS OTHER PLANS

The shadowy foe that Old Man Fate long warned of finally steps into the light, a foe powerful enough to threaten the very foundations of the Multiverse. A foe from Dorian’s past, of Dorian’s own making, who has come to seek revenge—first by taking over the realm. And then by exterminating him. Not if Dorian has anything to say about it.

Book two of this exciting LitRPG cultivation adventure about an ancient god who’s reached the apex of his power progression and has decided to reincarnate multiple times to try and speedrun the Dao and reach the peak of cultivation.

I I I I I I ii I I I I I do like book a lot very good

Might not finish this one

I believe it to be a good book but it's one thing to make your audience intentionally uncomfortable, but I've also been grimacing for nearly the whole first two hours. From depictions of young child dead and decaying, to children burying hundreds of bodies, to calling a sister a pet, then the constant sexual harassment that has happened so far upon entering the "oasis". I'm not ignorant of reality but I'm listening to fantasy/litrpg for escapism and power fantasy, not a reminder of how cruel the real world actually is and not how I felt when my three year old sister had cancer, beat it, then relapsed. If you can relate to this sentiment this book may not be for you, at least the beginning isn't. I'm writing this review very early but overall it won't be above a 4 whether I finish it or not.

one small issue

the whole hyper sexual parts to am extent annoyed the hell outa me, but thay may just be a personal tho I loved the series so far and will listen to the next one

I'm struggling to like the main character

I will admit that I am not through the whole book yet, but I have grown to dislike our resident Godking. I understand you need to distance him from normal humans since he's an old immortal being, but there's a fine line to keep him likable. As of this moment, I had to put the book down and take a step back with high hopes that if I returned after a bit, I might not hate him as much as I do right this second. Also, the changes in the characters' POV were a new and welcome addition to this novel, though it is verging on filler instead of helping the story progress. It's not as good as the first novel, but I hope I can slog through this, and maybe the ending or book three will be better.

Waiting for it to be over towards the end

I will not be continuing this series. This book contains too many chapters for the protagonist sister. I wouldn't have minded it too much if they were separate chapters, but it was mixed in. It aIso took way too long for things to happen.

Out F*****g standing!!!

Fast paced and well written , a different take and enjoyable, already pre-ordered the next book!

kind of slow burn for a speed run

I'm half way though the book and it is 15 hours of nothing but talking between characters no action no real progress for a speed run its kind of a slog he just walking around trying to steal stuff I was expecting gimmicks and shortcuts when I started the series but its just a normal cultivation novel

not saying its a bad story its just not what I was expecting the first book was great hopeful this ends up being like a filler book between books and the pace picks up in the next one

story picks up where last book left off

I love long books, but I gotta say I'm more than 1/2 way through this one and it feels like a lot of it is just filler the humor is meh I came for tournament but 15 hours into book, and still no tournament a bunch of side ventures that I didn't particularly care for and I don't see the value. doesn't feel like its speed anything. I've paused for now and moved to path of the berserker . I plan on finishing the book but I suspect I may need to listen in clumps instead of straight through.

practically nothing to do with the first

This book is pretty good on its own but it is a terrible sequel. It has almost nothing in common with the first book excemp for the general premise. there are also discrepancies in it that genuinely make me think the two books had different authors. the characters do manage to exist in both books completely change their personalities.

The narration is is superb with great inflection and it still sounds good at faster and slower speeds.

fast pace and enjoyable

I enjoy this series. it's a little wild yet it keeps up the fast pace throughout. no issues overall.
