Elysium's Multiverse, Book 1

De: Ranyhin1

Narrado por: Jay Aaseng

When Earth gets integrated into the vast expanse of a new multiverse, one young man is game to survive—it's in his blood—in this apocalyptic adventure.

Everyone becomes prey when Earth is swallowed up and transmuted to a bestial landscape, the first stage of induction into Elysium's multiverse and a new galaxy in the making. In the blink of any eye, the bloodthirsty creatures of Riven Thane's worst nightmares are unleashed as he; his sister, Allie; and his friend Jose scramble amid the carnage to live another hour.

But on this nothing of a planet, Riven is more special than he knows. He's among a select few with a singular bloodline, and the Elysium system has its eye on Riven in particular. He's already proven his unbeatable will to survive. Now, untapped powers can be his should he succeed at what the multiverse has in store for him.

World be damned, let the games begin: challenging trials of stamina, labyrinthine mazes, and mind-bending puzzles requiring sharp wit and quick thinking. Each consecutive win will bring Riven nearer to an unimaginable undertaking . . . a personalized tutorial in the dungeons of hell itself. And it's just the beginning—Riven is about to unlock the secrets of his past and learn more about his purpose and the dark arts than he ever imagined.

Whatever unholy chaos awaits him back home, he's ready. Because as close to death as he may be, Riven has never felt more alive.

The first volume of the hit LitRPG adventure series—with more than 900,000 views on Royal Road—now available on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and Audible!

Quite enjoyable

I quite enjoyed it. Similar to others of this style but, well written, intelligent characters, limited stats reviews.

Great narration and intro to what appears to be an immersive world.

Narration was very good. There’s a lot of world building going on that is really intriguing. Battle sequences are a bit long for my personal taste, but still well done.

A great new story

I enjoyed the overall story greatly as it does have some tropes but not ones I care about. The MC is a bit confusing at times. But, as you come to know him and hear his thought process a few times he makes sense.

It seems to be a slow burn on the world building and a hit on the system side too. But you gain plenty of info as the MC does so it’s introduced well. Overall information wasn’t something the author beat us to death with.

Narration was good, only complaints on that end are minor. Some characters sounded exactly the same as others. I do think the narration was overall very good and told the story well.

My only real complaint is the pacing of the story. I feel like we lose momentum several times for not real reason. If those areas had been broken up a little I think it could be a huge help.

Really into system mechanics

The story is really over powered by author’s love of systems.
Spoilers
I only listened 2hrs.
The bad guy with a gold heart thing never works out imo. But in this case, it’s worst. The bad guy stuff isn’t laid out well but he’s already saving people. He even worries about his dead mom watching. Then why did he do bad things in the past? His blood defines him. MC doesn’t have free will. He’s just a cog in the authors machine. The trails were super lame. Anyone with an iq of 90 could have passed. Finally, unholy would never call themselves unholy. Seems silly. Like could you imagine starting an organization called the unamericans lol

just ok

The whole thing was just ok. A good run time for the credit and narrator isn't bad.

Overall very good

It’s a great book with a really cool story take on the archetype. My biggest issue is that somethings could be more flushed out in the story instead of feeling like it’s just information to get to the next chapter or story line.
Overall a good book that I will continue.

Really good read!!

Not sure if this is this author’s first published work or not as I couldn’t really find anything else them. but I took a chance on it anyways, and was not disappointed! It’s a solid litRPG without a lot of the played out tropes that plagues this genre. I’m excited to read more from this author!

Dark but good

I think its the first time ive had a book with some demonic dark alignment that bing sayed its pretty good.

the narrator tries and successfully captures the characters

overall it was a good story and can't wait for the next book to come out this is my 10 litrpg fantasy book but my second vampire litrpg so it was good and different from what I usually read

the dark humor

the first few chapters I basically zoned out for. but when it picked up it was amazing.
