Publisher's summary

For John, death was merely the beginning.

After saying goodbye to his life on earth, he never expected to find a brand new world still awaiting for him.

One where immortals flew through the clouds and ancient evils hid below the surface.

One where fables, myths, and legends filled every corner.

One where he could finally start anew.

Now, however, John is about to learn a valuable lesson, for any place humanity rules will always be the same - a domain where sin and ambition can only be tamed by power.

Will he have the strength to walk this road on his own or will he be unable to heal the old wounds hidden deep within his heart?

Find out by listening to The Idle System

This book contains a story of self-discovery, ambition, and revenge. Inspired by classical LitRPG and Xianxia, it's a new take on the genres. Containing romance without harem elements, The Idle System isn't a novel for the weak of heart, but one for those enamored with planetary-levels of destruction. If the aforementioned tropes are to your taste, don't hesitate to buy this bundle.

This volume contains the first four novels in The Idle System series: The New Journey, The Rogues, The Birth and The Sins, all of which are available separately.

Absolutely fantastic!

I bought this because I was between series at the moment, and when I saw it was a book set I was really not expecting much, but I was absolutely wrong. this book series has been one of the best litrpg style books I've read yet to date. just great!

Great story!

I loved how the author used parts of his story from earlier books. I also loved how the author explained after it was all done, so that we could guess while we read how and what he was going to do.

Wonderful

Great book, if you love stories with a powerful MC you will love this series.

Many misleading reviews on this one

This was a good book.
If you like books like ”I will seal the heavens”, ”coiling dragons” or ”Martial God Asura” then the later half of this book will sate that thirst for you, if you like books with the ”adventurer” theme, with the whole G to SSS ranking system, then the early onset of this book will give you a good start to it and may hook you in, as it did to me. If you like both, then this book is quite good and delivers a very interesting transition between the two themes. I for one quite liked it. I hope that you’ll at least give it a chance, there’s always the option to refund if you feel I was wrong afterall.

What a ride

I loved listening to this series and will be jumping onto the next book as soon as possible.

It was decent

It wasn’t bad just not wonderful, names for somethings could have been better. I write for fun but a least some creativity with the name of the sects could be better. I liked the box set for audible wish more authors would do it.

I feel like it could have been a lot better…

If the narrator didn’t suck so bad. Honestly I feel bad saying that because I know it takes time for these people to narrate a book, but oh man. Right from the start when he mispronounces miscellaneous I was cringing. I really tried to finish it because the idea is somewhat interesting, but I just could not go on much past the first book. Such a shame because if this series had a different narrator I have a feeling it could actually be enjoyable, but I guess I will never know. Maybe I’ll pick it up to read the old fashioned way at some point.

bad narrative match

i think the story has good potential, and i like narrator but i think it was a bad match, there were a lot of times where he read some of the lines and it just made me cringe, the character has a very dramatic personality at times and when i heard this narrator instead of feeling the depth of the moment i just couldnt help but think of a child throwing a fit and lashing out.

A great buy, 4 stories for the price of 1 credit

Not very, but it sure does help if you put in the effort while you wait to gain it with the Idle System. Pegaz takes inspiration from the common tropes and mechanisms of the idle games a lot of people play. While that sounds simple, the way they've weaved them into the story without making it boring is pretty skilled. I originally started reading / listening to book 1 unsure how to feel about an idle game system. However i was enthralled by everything John has to go through to gain power. Granted he didn't HAVE to do those things, but he chose to make the best use of his time. Which is extra funny when your entire story revolves around "time passing = power gained" . Book 2 sees the continuation after John reaches the age of 21 and can finally ascend into immortality. After the events of book 1 i wasn't expecting any romance in the story and i was right not to. He is rather selfish in his pursuit of power, and to make the best use of his time he joins a sect of assassins. His masterful use of his system once more comes into play as he figures out how to give himself the best of everything. Book 3 continues from when John runs into an annoying woman, and suddenly my earlier beliefs get thrown out the window! But that's ok, because it's not the overdone cliches that i'm already tired of. Book 4 shows us insanity, pure insanity in the pursuit of help for someone else. Pegaz did a wonderful job keeping me guessing in most of these books, and I look forward to the next 4 books!

perfection. OP main guy

it is so rare to find a book with an over powered smart main character. other people say they dont enjoy it. I LOVE IT! also a fantastic bargain since it is 4 books. I wish more books in the genre start doing OP characters. Pegaz if you are reading this, I cant wait for book5!
