Unaffiliated Healer

A Fantasy LitRPG Isekai Adventure (Earthen Contenders, Book 4)

De: Jonathan Brooks

Narrado por: Miles Meili

Thaden is built for running dungeons solo, but in order to progress past his current Level, he’s going to have to find some friends rather quickly…

After resolving all the pending SPECIAL Quests that had been plaguing him, Thaden is finally ready to evolve his Class, where he can then continue to Level-up past his current limit. Unfortunately, his current Evolution Assignment is proving to be a bit more difficult than his last one, as it requires him to complete one of the new Intermediate dungeons with a full Raid Party of at least 100 people without any casualties. Throwing money at the problem might’ve worked in the past, but now there’s a complication that makes such a prospect nearly impossible.

The rise of the Contender Guilds.

Thaden has had his run-ins with the Guilds in the past, of course, but while he had been away for a while, the Assimilation System has embraced these Guilds and incorporated them into its mechanics, legitimizing them past the relatively loose groups of Contenders they were before and making them official organizations – with specific Quests to go along with them. With Guild Quests including the completion of Intermediate dungeons and a Ranking system with ongoing awards, the competition is fierce – and no one is willing to risk their Ranking by taking someone not affiliated with their Guild along.

With these obstacles in place, Thaden struggles to find a Guild willing to accept him as a member, even if only temporarily. This is proving harder than it should be, as while his Class is undoubtedly powerful, information about it and the detrimental drawbacks it enforces on any party he participates in is now widely known.

Will he be able to find a Guild inclined to giving him a chance, or will this unaffiliated healer be stuck at his current Level, unable to progress any further?

Amazing story

Even though the main character is still OP it still keeps the story going at a great pace! Can’t wait for the next one!

Fun

Thaden is back and stronger than ever. Unfortunately his class makes him unwanted by guilds. He still needs to do his advancement quest so he goes to the Gilded Glory Guild with a lucrative offer. They love it and he begins running raids with them. He discovers that one of the dungeons they run is a nest of the Adversary and no one will believe him. Before he can enact plans to resolve it, the Adversary attacks. By the skin of his teeth, Thaden wins, but he learns that the world and the System may not be what it seems.

A great installment. Wonderful narrator. Excellent pacing. Steady world with some character growth. Please enjoy

Character progression trough a Video Game mechanics

Loved the story and progression! An OP character who still has challenges both internal and external.

Really good.

I know some like it, and I don’t mind it much, but an awful lot of time is spent repeating the same spells and titles the character has every time it’s mentioned. But i can skip through that a bit and get to the good stuff. 😁

The bridge to an up open world

This is a bridge snow to an open world. People know him and he's not so much afraid of people anymore, but he does recognize his deficiencies. We get to see a new side and regarding the system. Is it the good guy, or is it the bad guy? And what is Nana, in the terms of the systems use? Or the use by the enemy

Really…really

Trying to go to a shop in the middle of a crisis?? Come on man really. Why are your MCs always complete morons. Not to mention mainly cowards. And not to mention the ever so present prudishness. But the biggest thing that bothers me is that the MC is a complete tard.

Love this story.

Brooks has done a fantastic job making this story. I can’t wait for the next part of the series. Thanks for the book.

Something creepy is happening here

Love the twits this book took for the Adversary, as always this series is one of my current favorites.
If you read the last one please continue this series as it’s amazing!!!

Way too much stat review

and far too many repetitive automated system messages. The story ends up being only about 70ish percent of the narration.

OP raiding

Unaffiliated Healer

Thaden needs to complete a raid quest by finishing a raid dungeon with at least 100 players. This is proving quite the problem for a Solitary Shaman by definition. Fortunately, a fresh pair of eyes gives Thaden an idea on just how he might be able to accomplish this. The Contender Guilds.

I always appreciate the way Jonathan Brooks does his books. There is a summery of previous books at the beginning and all the heavy stat sections are their own chapters. You can listen or not, your choice. This litrpg adds a few more elements they really does enhance the story. The different raids are a lot of fun to go through. Miles Meili does an excellent job with the narration!
