Slayer’s Return

A Time Regression LitRPG (Fate Alchemist, Book 1)

De: Felix Taylor

Narrado por: Jonathan Waters

The demons won. The world ended. Or did it?

Wulf is one of the last survivors of the demonic apocalypse. At the brink of oblivion, he’s sent back forty-one years to prevent the end. Now he’s a first-year again at Istalis Academy.

Having his advancement reset is an opportunity to do everything better. But Wulf is sent back with a seemingly useless crafting class. Nobody can know or he’ll be expelled from his fighter program, where he’ll be expected to channel his abilities through the hollowed-out vessels of stone giants.

The more Wulf learns, the more he suspects the class change isn’t an accident. Perhaps what mankind needs isn’t just future knowledge. It’s someone whose legendary class can change fate itself.

A Fate Alchemist.

average

Time travel Gundam Harry Potter focusing on chemistry. the story aright, performance is ok. average over all, not special, but not bad.

Not bad

Not my favorite either, I normally love regressor stories, but idk I don't think I like the magic system being employed here. The golem/gundam situation is a little wonky. "Lame" wud be too harsh, the story flows n there enjoyable parts, but I just don't have a ton of interest in magic pacific rim

Quality keeps improving

Felix's stories are always fun ideas he makes into an entertaining reality. This was no different. It was difficult following at certain points, and the scale shifted about for me, trying my imagination whenever I returned to listening to this, but it's paced well and progression is satisfying. Otherwise, the story is standard fare

Creative world building

The outline of the book was interesting but the amount of draw backs to him are just frustrating. Think the author just had to hard of a time balancing a op character development and politics.

Pretty OK.

Decent story, decent characters, but events and developments seem very quick, and shoehorned in. While the MC is from the future, he wasn't an alchemist, but all the alchemy stuff just works super well, super quickly.

Do you need dimensional storage? Here's a bunch in a garbage can. Do you need money? here's a bunch of herb so you can be a herb dealer. Need rare material? Just transmute anything! Need mana? Just bend this coat hanger back and forth (I mean, cycle chaos or something). Too quick, too convenient, nothing to maintain any tension or sense of danger.

This is a middling book, good for low effort readers who prefer simple stories.
