Desire

3 Book Series

De: Cameron Milan

Narrado por: John Downey

An all powerful entity bestows individuals with a powerful brand in the form of a tattoo. Using the system that is controlled by the tattoo, you can learn supernatural abilities, acquire knowledge unknown to man, and acquire objects that would only be found in fiction. The world is changing...and it has yet to be determined if it is for better or worse. Two friends who grew up together, Ace and Vincent, have been chosen.

Ace lives for physical improvement. He loves the feeling of breaking his records and growing stronger. Unfortunately, he has plateaued in recent months, discouraging him greatly. Vincent is plagued by little to no desire in anything he does. Good grades? Successful life? He feels nothing. Except, perhaps, the feeling of pain and fear. Sadly for him, modern day society is a peaceful one.

The arrival of the tattoo flipped their lives upside down. It granted them the ability to fulfill their desires. However...they weren't the only ones who were given the tattoo.

Starts out well, but slowly lost all interest

I finished this out but honestly starting from about a third the way through the second book it lost all suspense. It got to the point where you just know the main char is gonna win. The longer this series goes the more anticlimactic the battles become eventually ending up at outrageous levels of power. That being said I did enjoy the first book and the general setting for the novel.

Has some refining to do

I really like the litprg genre, and this book is...similar to most titles I've read, however, it does take a fairly strong turn from a lot of tropes. It has a strong vein of system design in it, the author clearly wanted to make an infinitely scaling system for the MCs to move through and has designed that really well. The narrator is a bit bland at times, but it matches the writer's tone so I think it was a choice rather than a decrement, however, audio quality wasn't the greatest so I still will give it 4 perform stars.

Fun books

Fun story with a bit of ideas from other places that make for a interesting story . it was nice to have a character that was a sociopath but not be the villain. Narration was good not the best but good. it was neat to see the development of society over the span of years affecting a planet.

Overall pretty good

There were a few weird word choices here in there and some odd pauses in the narration

good listen

I liked the books, plot went along well and kept me entertained while I was working
