About the Series: Join Adam in this weak-to-strong progression fantasy where victories are difficult but earned. The plot has consistent forward momentum, and the story's cast of characters is fully fleshed-out, each with their own struggles. Fight scenes are high-octane brawls that involve creative applications of Adam's abilities.

A very rare 5

I really liked this book… like really liked it and that’s not a surprise. I also really enjoyed his last series, I found Adam to be pretty relatable actually and all the characters felt interesting and well flushed out. It is a bit in the slower side in terms of pacing but that’s actually something I really enjoyed. If you need constant action this might not be the best story for you but if you like a slow build with complex characters interesting worldbuilding and a plot that keeps you guessing then this is most certainly for you. I’ll definitely be keeping my eyes open for the next installment. At first listen I wouldn’t have thought Wayne the best choice for this book but as usual he makes the high parts really really high and that definitely purely serves this story best.

Great Story

I enjoyed listening to the story. It seemed like a great story. It did a great job at presenting an interesting story that did not fall into the normal tropes that most fantasy type stories fall into.

Great start!

Interesting idea. I envisioned something very different from what I got. The skill was a lot more complex and slower acting than I thought it would be. The setting involved a lot of politics which was a nice change or pace. The narration was really good.

Just can’t get into it

Made it to chapter ten, then returned it. It’s just not enjoyable, It’s like everyone involved is on the path to narcissism.

Ohhhh! Myyy! Soooooooo! Interesting! And I loved it!

Ohhhh! Myyy! That was Interesting! Might I say it was som'min else! I've never run into it's ilk before! But I loved it! And wouldn't you expect that someone that had the balls to go by the moniker KamikazePotato would come up with this novel storyline... not only surprising and new but with kinda different sorta magic system. And one that really works. Yeah, there's still a core and mana, but to level up you hafta spend money 💰 the more you spend the stronger you get. And we're not talkin about a few bucks, oh no, more like thousands, tens of thousands.
And this is Adam's story, the starving art student trying to balance his tuition fees and cost of living. If only he'd won the contest with his painting 😪 losing to Eric a supposed friend... well it was a hard punch to the gut. Since he knew sleep wasn't gonna happen he ended up at a shop looking at their gallery again. To his amazement he spotted a new painting, it was magical and to no one's surprise it sucked him into the World of Paint.
And what Adam does next is for you to find out when you grab the audiobook! Because Wayne Mitchell is worth listening to.

Potential

I like that the premise is very different than many LitRPGs. I like the author and really wanted to dig this one. But the narrator is quite awful.

Great premise terrible execution

The synapse sounded great and the idea had a very good chance of being something special but the actual story was mah at best world building was lack luster, MC was all over the place and not really inspiring not to mention that while his power seem like they would be good his use of it is a joke

cool concept, awful writing

the idea and world concept is neat and original. the MC is one hair toss away from being completely emo. I'm halfway through and starting to use the skip to get through sections of him inner dialogue. the logic is also suspected in a lot of sections to.

Boring

I really tried to like this but the story is very boring. I fell asleep several times listening to this. MC is stale nothing about him to latch on to root for. I like the premise and it has a lot of promise but the MCs ability is too easily countered and the use of any ability in the story is limited. This is more a trapped in another world than an isekai.

At a lot of times during listening my mind wandered and when I focused back onto the book I didn’t miss anything. World building ? Some. Character building? Lacking.
