Deck of Destiny 1

Deck of Destiny, Book 1

De: Dante King

Narrado por: Rozelyn Rader, Lewis Alexander

It was a regular day when I found my first card. Now, my days are anything but.

Beautiful women, powerful cards, and guilds who will do anything to kill me and acquire my deck. It's a life beyond my wildest dreams—if I can just survive long enough to enjoy it.

Wonderful start slightly pulled down by graphic details.

Firstly, well done on the performance. Whenever there are more than one reader, especially when you have a male and female voices, a decent performance is expected and that is delivered here.
Second, the overall "magic system" is intriguing and an interesting enough to keep the attention. I found it to be entertaining and like to see more development of it in further books.
Lastly, why do I rate the story 4 stars instead of a full 5. We'll it's the graphic sex scenes. When you have a story and world that is as interesting as this you do not need to bring it down with blow by blow descriptions of sexual acts. Now the reason I gave this book an overall score of 5 is because there was only a few scenes and they only took up the last parts of their respective chapter.
Overall, I really enjoyed this book and will be getting the second one in the series.

Interesting and Not Expected

I wasn’t sure what I expected, though with the female on the cover I had expected an FMC. Nope. MMC. But it was interesting in that it was very heavy progression with a lot of “WTF if happening, I don’t know but Run!” And some figure it out in the way. Though the setup for a potential Harem was a nice twist. Overall, the narrator made it worth the read and I think I would have lost interest if it wasn’t for that. They made it engaging.

sex much?

only made it about 2 hours in. Story was meh but I was still at the beginning...until the unexpected graphic narration of oral sex. Would have been nice to get a heads up before purchasing what I was expecting to be a different style litrpg.

I promise it's not just sex.

For this genre it's pretty tame on that front. There is a couple good chunks of action in this soup. Performances by Lewis and Rozalyn are top notch. I hope the surgery does some more work fleshing out this underground world of card murder.

Fun

The characters and story are engaging I appreciate the harem aspect and the genuine love between them all

Easily the worst DeckBuilding LitRPGs I have read

For the last year I have been searching and listening to every deck building LitRPG I can find. I love the genre but this one reminds me that I still have standards. The whole story a clear wish fulfillment fantasy. Starting with the MC who always gets what he wants, Everyone either thinks he's ballsy or doesn't matter. His side kick/chick is a bleach blonde Bimbo in the form of a Redhead Texan, who likes big things and Texas. They get their powers suddenly and beat someone who is basically a pro right away. Then find a small group of card holders who specialize in group tactics, while basically not knowing each other. Then they have sex in her god mother's apartment before going off and being bad asses. The second chick seems quite a bit smarter which is common in Harem lot but she is the mysterious goth girl that is either grumpy, moppy, or mysterious. Very little is explained about the card system and the MC never asks, checks, or verifies anything with anyone who knows things. He essentially always guesses right. Honestly from what I can piece together about the system it is pretty decent but weirdly everyone they gave is acting like a beginner. Few cards, no levels, and poor tactics.
