Paragon of Blood

Paragon, Book 1

De: Luke Chmilenko, Alex Knight

Narrado por: Travis Baldree

All Auric Cain ever wanted was a chance.

A chance to prove himself. A chance to take control of his life. A chance to be more than a lowly D-Tier, the lowest of the low, in a world broken by the arrival of an alien, enigmatic being known as The System.

And the seemingly endless hordes of Gateborn that accompanied it.

But chances are hard to come by in the fallen remains of humanity. A century of decline, of desperate struggle, making just surviving another day challenging enough. Let alone striking out to find and challenge an Ascension Gate.

Or in Auric’s case, even getting permission to try.

But when he finally takes matters into his own hands, that's when he finally gets his chance. A chance that sets off a chain of events that no one, let alone him, could have ever anticipated. A chain of events that could very well reshape Reality itself.

Unless he can find a way to stop it.

Torn

The author has exceptional skill with written language. The Narrater is amazing. The action is pretty good. I’m torn on this because I want to get into the story so badly but there’s just too many holes, too little actual character development, and the ranking/class system seems like an afterthought. I won’t go into detail aside from saying that the ranking system does not benefit higher quality levels, only individual levels within the tiers (D through A). It’ll make sense if you listen.

I don’t regret the purchase, it filled the time while waiting for the next He Who Fights With Monsters to be released.

I enjoyed my time, just didn’t love it. Had no difficulty stopping the audiobook at any time. Never became invested in any character. They seem like characters. Which they are so that’s fine. Possibly not fair to compare this to other works or even this author’s other works which I truly enjoyed.

It’s an honest 3 star experience for me. Happy I listened and at the same time relatively apathetic to the outcome of the series. I will be purchasing additional books if/as they are released.

It wouldn’t be in my top 100 but not in my bottom 100 either.

Interesting take on a multiverse system lutrpg

Great narration, believable characters. There were a few rough edges to the story, but thoroughly enjoyed it.

Thrilling litrpg!

Paragon of Blood is a spectacularly written post-apocalyptic litrpg. It's filled with tense moments that steal your breath away, and twists and turns that will leave you questioning what you think you know. This book pulls you in, and is very hard to put down!

Good, but frustrating

It's a solid start of a series but it was very frustrating for 1/3 of the book. I barely remember any of the MC's abilities since it wasn't used in any interesting ways. Has the power to control blood and mostly fights non-blooded creatures. The powers seemed underwhelming and mostly just a fighter who can create weapons on the fly or summon a companion to help fight.

right so...

ok this is good it really is I just have to roll my eyes at the names thrown at us... like really... is that his name really, like come on my guy you really came up with some pick me names here and every time I had to stop and roll my eyes and laugh otherwise pretty good but every time some of these names popped up I felt my self pulled out of the story and they pop up alot
