Bog Standard Isekai: Benighted

De: Miles English

Narrado por: Johnathan McClain

From nightmares to knighthood, the true war starts now.

Brin has conquered the nightmares that once plagued him, and now his goal is to master the power of his class—illusion.

With a new skill that lets him split his mind and juggle multiple thoughts, his imagination is the only limit. But time is running out.

War looms as four nations unite against the Queendom of Arcaena. The Witch Queen’s undead army threatens to destroy everything in its path. When Brin is summoned by the leader of an order of knights, he’s plunged into a conflict that will shape the fate of the world.

Brin’s glass and illusion magic are getting stronger, but his greatest advantage is a dangerous secret: the allied kingdoms’ strongest warrior, a Paladin, is actually Arcaena’s spy. Will Brin reveal the secret to everyone, or wait for the perfect moment to strike?

One thing is certain: Brin’s trump card may be a secret, but Arcaena has secrets of her own…

amazing as always

lots of MC growth this book as Brin finally gets to experience the world without his adopted parents protection. Still overpowered compared to his peers but the gap is shrinking now that he's partnered with people getting upgraded classes that better at doing their jobs rather than his jack of all trades training. Im glad he takes a proper support role as his skills really shine when he focuses on them.
looking forward to he next!

Easily the best in the series

Amazing story. We finally get to see MC thrive. We see him using his class to the fullest and actually going up against foes and overcoming them without needing saving

One of my favorites

A great progression of the story! English develops a host of new characters and makes you root for them four books in. A remarkable beginning of a new story arc.

it's just so darn good

Fantastic story, progression, and humor. I genuinely and thoroughly enjoy this. The only bad thing is that it ends and I have to wait for more.

The narrator is an auto purchase for me. The only real issue is that he has intermittent pronunciation issues, mostly around the word "word"... since this is a review I'll reveal that was a joke.

Story keeps delivering

This story continues to be excellent in all aspects. I look forward to every new book and cannot wait for the next.
