Raiya: Early Game

Archon's Chosen, Book 2

De: Russell Wilbinski

Narrado por: Michael David Axtell

After a desperate escape from the Blue Stone Island, Skree and his faithful companion Zuka must find a new home for Priestess and the last of the Kobold race. Joining the fiery Captain Fenna Lis and her no-nonsense first mate Hawkins, Skree finds plenty of opportunities to grow in skill and strength.

With few options available to him, Skree must provide a haven for his friends and the last survivors of the Kobold race. Luckily, Captain Fenna knows just the right guy to solve their problem, but it won't be easy. Or cheap.

Will Skree and Priestess be able to find a home of their own, and if they do, will they be able to protect it from harm in the harsh world of Raiya? Who are the mysterious servants of Abrenacht and why do they want him dead? Can Skree overcome these challenges, level up and beat the game so he can return to his own world?

But a bigger question lurks at the back of his mind: Does he even want to go home?

Better than most

I enjoyed the book only have a few hang ups that still bug me and I will not spoil anything. First off no way he is a hardcore gamer because if he was he would horde his skill points or use them more wisely, same with stats for both him and his wolf 2nd he is worried about gold then over pays by a ton to prove a point after being told it is not worth it, mind you 10min before that he sells stuff and even the merchant is like yo bro this is some good stuff you may want to keep one or both and the mc is like no i need gold lol


I do like the book but he is not a gamer. Still check it out only a few issue

a great audiobook

this has a good story with great audio voice actor. I love the world building and hope it's just the surface

good book

I really don't like the minimum word count requirements for audible reviews. . .

absolutely great book

lt adds a pirate's Tale to the game-lite genre, and the genres is made better for it. Definitely worth a credit and a read.

Excellent follow-up!

Loved it. More please. This book did not disappoint. Loved the action most of all. Awaiting the next installment.

Book 📚 3 please!!!

My only complaint is that there isn’t a 3rd book yet. Please tell me that book 3 is coming soon!

It's litrpg

Pros:
Fantastic game like environment.
Cons:
The VA dropped the accent of one of the characters from book one it was confusing.
Everyone is "powerful and scary" except the main character. Multiple times it's hammered home he's pathetic but destiny's choosen which ends up as plot armor no payoff.
Author gives every possible negative trait to the male characters in the story and every possible positive trait to the female characters. Not a problem if done well but after the 30th time being explicitly told insert female character is scary, powerful, dangerous ect it wears thin.
Lastly a pet peeve regarding the lore. It’s established that the cycle of rebirth is immoral and the shift towards the reset is a result of overpopulation. Immediately followed by the mc taking out a powerful creature. If the over abundance of creation is the defining feature moving the dial towards a total reset then killing the creature as asked is a solution to the problem. instead is becomes another mc is an idiot moment as if that wasn't old halfway through book one.
To be clear I still enjoyed the book.

cleache

One thing I hate in a book more than anything is authors who always make men weak and simpering when put up to women. It instantly makes the story lose 2 stars. people don't act like that not every man is a simp and not every women is a xena warrior princes like they are in this book. He is 5-6 lvls above the woman and he instantly turns into a weak baby who cant fight back and gets fleeced by every woman who comes along. Just about every litrpg book out now goes down this same road and its infuriating. Not saying that he should be a super macho beat everyone and every woman wants him but dang there is a better route than an absolute simpering twit when a woman comes around.

Love the Characters!

The first book was a mostly solo Journey, but this one has tons of characters, and some of them are downright hilarious. The game systems continue to get more interesting and the world has finally expanded.

Can't wait to see where we end up next!

great book

I'm loving this book,
I enjoyed both the first and the second books I hope the next one comes to audiobook soon.
