Dark Matter Ascension, Book 1

A LitRPG Adventure

De: SerasStreams

Narrado por: Nick Flesher, Clara Rose

One week. If you survive, you choose a Cosmic Power ... If you survive. Jace isn’t one to give up. Not when his sister dies. Not when he loses his legs. And definitely not when The Cosmic System takes over Earth. With nothing more than his street smarts, the clothes on his back, and a river otter companion, he must survive a planet full of vicious predators that see him as an easy meal. If he can survive? He gets to choose a Cosmic Power and a Class. A path to ascension. A way to bring his sister back.

new author no depth

story isnt bad but it's not anything special either. the writing just feels basic, fights don't really feel like there's anything on the line. characters don't have much depth. the character motivation seems like it's just a reason to force the MC to get as strong as possible. the author tries to make us care but it doesn't work imo. the narration is decent. it's overacted in the beginning but gets more comfortable as the book progresses. worth a credit if your into litRPG not worth $60

Not bad

May try next book. Kinda 50/50. Wasn’t bad but MC didn’t really stand out and system though partially unique also with a lot of cut n paste from similar books. 🤷‍♂️

a good story but dose some annoying things

I was enjoying this story until I started to notice some annoying things first the fact that everyone gets sleepy so easily and fast, the fact the the MC forgets things or makes really dumb choices for the sake of drama and finally we don't need a full state read for every little change maybe just a full read at the start and end of each book.

3.5 stars

Pros:
Unique-ish magic system. Magic, tech, and magitech.
Cons:
So many editing errors.
Narration sometimes sounds like a bad dub of an anime.
Nonsensical economy. Prices of goods and services make no sense.
Nonsensical ability/skill/spell acquisition & upgrades. After investing 3 points in his sword skill, he is a master swordsman and this somehow includes all bladed weapons. His spells all seem to run on stamina because they make him sleepy to use. He has no mana pool or anything like it to keep track of how much energy he is using or how much he has left. So everything just feels made up. “This spell makes me more tired than that spell, but I’ll always have enough power to cast the spell I need even if it makes me fall asleep afterward.“
World isn’t very fleshed out. A supposedly universe-spanning system that has been around for thousands of years and it feels like only a few hundred people even exist.
Looking at this list, maybe I should drop another star. lol

Cool abilities.

The most interesting thing about this book to me is the ability to customize your character build by just saying what you want. The action was constant and thrilling at b times and the story was kinda most of the story was fun.

amazing!

I loved this story so much the narration is amazing and I love the overall plot!

Good, but bit disjointed and over complicated at times

Very good, enjoyed it a lot, but a times the whole thing seemed over complicated, and trying for-fill every possible item on a wish list.

That being said, it was fun and had good potential. I’m a sucker for cyberpunk spin on Litrpg.

4/5. I will consider getting second book

Mid. Just mid

If you love the genre you’ll like this. If you want interesting characters, world-building, or decent storytelling this is not for you. Like he title says it’s just mid in every category. I’ll finish it as background noise but that’s about it.

System initiation on cyberpunk earth

This book is actually unique in that its pretty much a system integration in cyberpunk future earth complete with corpos and street kids. Our MC is a street kid who has prosthetics and they play a huge role in the story as what was tech becomes magitech. Definitely one of the best litrpgs i have read in a long time.

says MC has street smarts but doesn't use them

says MC has street smarts but doesn't use them except for combat nothing else which ruins helis character
