Double-Blind 3: Nychta's Favor

A LitRPG Apocalypse Adventure

De: J. McCoy

Narrado por: Ramón de Ocampo

Friends reunited. Foes on the run. A moment of respite all-too-fleeting.

With the threat of a second cataclysm bearing down on them, Matt and his allies double their efforts to climb the tower, juggling personal responsibilities, new players, unexpected assistance from unlikely sources, all while weighing the insidious possibility of threats from within.

Since the beginning, Matt’s one-of-a-kind class served as a roguish springboard, allowing him to attain the role of a puppetmaster, manipulating and orchestrating events from behind the scenes. But even with the power he’s attained, the wheels of progress move slowly. With disaster looming on the horizon Matt will be forced to make a choice.

Will he remain hidden in the shadows? Or finally step into the light.

Book three of a LitRPG Apocalypse series set in the real world, where the price of failure is death, and the prize for winning is beyond Matt’s wildest dreams.

Perfect for listeners who enjoy stories with morally gray characters, high stakes, stealth mechanics, system integration, a smart protagonist with weak-to-strong progression, and more!

Excellent book.

I enjoyed this book a lot . The characters the world. Feels real. Can’t wait for next story

I’m absolutely enthralled!

In the best possible, I’m so reminded of mass effect! The characters interwoven and deep connections, the history and continuity that gets delved into. Character growth at the personal level while the story crescendos into unavoidable events, the obvious and the foreshadowed… Absolutely enthralling! If you know you know, but the outstanding citadel dlc in mass effect 3 and a good portion of this novel shared the same vibes to the point where it almost felt inspired by it. I loved it so much! I can’t wait for more!!!

If I had to give two critiques, it’s that I’m not still listening to it, and that there was quite a bit of setup in this book for future events in comparison to the amount of payoffs but it has me on the edge of my seat for what comes next!

Thank you!

It stays centered.

I really like how the story builds around the main character, there's no side stories taking forcing you away from his journey. Amazing howthe author manages this. It is so well written that the author accomplishes this only around the main character, and his point of view. Amazing author, with narration that is simply out of this world.

Only dislike I have, to wait for book 4, but good thing comes to thoughts who wait, begrudgingly.

good, consistent story telling

narration is great, it's a good continuation of the story. Can't wait for the next title to come out.

Another hit

Love the ace rep, love the delving into psychology, magic system is great, as well as the overarching story. I’ll def be continuing on and this was just as good as the previous hits

Excellent characters

Mat, in particular is a standout. It's always great to have a smart, capable MC, but Mat is a next level thinker with a host of flaws and quirks to go with. The dialog and character dynamics are first rate, and in an a less-seen Isekai variation with personal stakes from the very start. Mechanics and leveling are low key which is overall great, but, with the inevitable bit of disconnect that comes with not being able to rate a challenge through direct comparisons. I doubt there's a real happy medium for that in this genre, but this is definitely in the ball park. There was a bit of whiplash with time jump between book two and three, but the pacing hasn't changed much. Overall, very happy and looking forward to Double-blind 4

this author is a spoiled liberal and it oozes through the writing like rotting bile

the author has never hunted his own food never worked on farms, yet he looks down on Americas true values and scoffs at it through an asexual child who thinks he is smarter than he is. it's hilarious how high and mighty the author believes he is. how dare they use guns in an apocalypse, oh how dare the common people have explosives and other forms of defense when the "users" (aka liberal high fantasy idea of finally having power over the general American population and killing them) can destroy whole buildings at a whim. it's very obvious the author has no clue of what hard or hardened tactical people think and do. the MC reads like a emo, slice for attention but at the same time but at the same time I'm a wannabe tactical genius that has over powered sumons that can just hop into people's minds to get everything he needs. they whole emotional aspect of this book reads like the mentally ill. mc wants so bad, to be a bad ass but is the whiniest emotional idiot that he has actual plot armor to deal with his emotions. in no way shape or form would an unstable emotional kid who is wannabe tactician because he studied real hard in highschool, zero military experience field work or human intelligence and counter intelligence, survive in the apocalypse. it's the whole I see red aspect that makes it sooo unbelievably corny. his power? you guess it actual plot armor. this book reads like the author is jacking himself off to a power fantasy, who thinks profiling is a superpower and education in psychology somehow makes you a a super genius into the human condition. any moron can take psychology as major and graduate. psychology has some efficacy but is never consistent or something you want to bet on when it comes down to actual real life/ tactical scenarios,
and the worst part the series started off decent. then slowly digressed into a the author shoving left idiogy down your throat. just put the book in the bag.
