Unknown Bloodline. Unlimited Potential.

The Awakened aren’t just humanity’s last defense against the monsters—they’re celebrities, flush with power, status, and wealth.

Xay had always dreamed of becoming the strongest—fighting epic battles and living a fast-paced life of adventure. But when the Awakened System assigned him a skill from the Artificer Sphere, his dreams seemed out of reach. Until his unknown Bloodline manifested—granting him the ability to bond with other Awakened and transfigure their essence into weapons.

Now, the most powerful groups want him, the biggest corporations are vying for his attention, and some will stop at nothing to claim his abilities for themselves. With an angelic flame princess and a demonic tech heiress by his side, he must survive a ruthless academy, the pressures of newfound fame, and forge his own path to greatness.

Give me more!

This book wasn't on my radar. I stumbled upon it, in the "we think you might like" suggestions. I am so soo sooo glad I took a chance on it. If the subsequent books in this series are as good as the first, it will be among the best in the genre.

Ok let’s go

Hands down one of the best audiobooks I’ve read this year. Writing is good voice acting is good. The story is great. Can’t wait to see how it develops but it’s not you cheesy male protagonist. That’s just a Simp. I like it is dope. Give me some more.

A hidden gem

The story had good pacing performance, characters and general plot. The main character also isn’t a Simp who finds over every girl he meets and generally makes connections with the woman in his harem and people outside of his harem. He also has friends who are men and not every male character. Besides him is a bad guy for some reason.

Great start to hopefully a long series.

like the tittle suggest, it was a refreshing entry to a genre that has seen a lot the same boring old tropes. I really enjoyed the development of the characters and the LIs. my only gripe is everything took place in a month. would of liked to see a more gradual authentic growth. even the ladies went from like level 7 to 20 in a day lol

Meh

The street kid in every friend group with a strange sense of style turns out to be a massive weeb and writes his own self-insert fanfiction harem-cyberpunk-isekai adventure anime. The book starts off in the middle of an awakening ceremony and immediately info-dumps the MC's backstory. Literally named Xay 'X', our MC stumbles onto S-ranked skills and over 10x the stat points of everyone else, falls into a relationship with two powerful, gorgeous women who've been head-over-heels with our mediocre orphan MC for years, and exerts his dominance over society through nothing but a fantastic sequence of extraordinary hand-outs. Our Mary-Sue can trounce anyone, do and make anything, and sleep with anyone as though God himself blessed his every action, no matter how clumsy and foolish, with boundless luck. The clichés hit one after another in quick succession: Unearned god-tier power, arrogant and weak-minded asshole antagonists, stumbling into skill and power upgrades off the rip just my thinking about it, and a fulfilling school life where he's surrounded by the most beautiful princesses and celebrities even a famous rapper would be jealous of, just by osmosis. I'm bored of this drivel, and no amount of quality narration can fix it.

How easy mc received everything

Could have done away with the dragon character seem like a waist paid way to much time on on that and mc used to much on that aspect
Would have rated higher if the dragon wasn’t there

its meh

you got a male mc who braids his hair wears V neck t shirts and is into fashion the stupid kind normal people roll their eyes at and inspired the Zoolander movie; the stuff you make fun of. it feels out of touch and unrelatable and I'm surprised there wasn't something like having an innocent gas fight in the book where the MC loses some friends, that would have made the book better imo.
