The Dragon Girl’s Ascension (Volume 1)

De: Invayne _

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Desaray, a normal 14 year old girl, living a normal life.

Her everyday life suddenly changed when the world as she knew it ceased to exist.

Her world, but not her world.

Monsters appearing out of nowhere.

90% of the population disappeared.

An apocalypse like none other.

A system gained from killing a single monster.

Once human, now a dragon...

All of these things happening all at the same time, turning Desaray's world upside down.

How will she cope in this new world, not as a human but as a dragon?

short but sweet

I enjoyed this one quite a bit I only wish it was longer. It had an interesting twist from most of the others in this field with a race change along with the infamous system.

No human editor/badly OPed MC.

It would have been fairly easy to have one person listen through and make edits as they went, HP into Horse Power could have been fixed, by someone typing H P or hit points for example. Additionally, it would have been easy to have someone go through and change the voice(s) used so that when different characters talk, the voice changed with them to make each sound unique. Swapping the AI voice to make things a bit more interesting, kinda like having a full voice actor cast, it is simple to do nowadays; natural reader, for example, has dozens of available voices to use, and it is a web browser program, you could also tweak the voice settings to make two characters sound similar but distinct from each other. This was a very lazy application of text to speech. I would be shocked if it was more than a copy past job.

(Very Minor spoilers below.)
As for the MC, she is never challenged. Between this, and the first half of the second book(I have not finished book2, so I will not comment further) She shows her self as a psychopath who can't make up her mind about being a Psychopath in contrived ways, She will kill people without real warning.
We're talking and posturing but nothing has happened yet? You started out aggressive because you thought I was enslaving people? I'll have one of your guys killed for being a mouthy jerk and then still act like I have the moral high ground! Then, next scene, I will swear protection becuse random kid and I'm the 'good guy' and I must be shown to not be a cold harted ****. I would respect her as a character more if her faults mattered and she was allowed to fail, the last half of book two may make me eat my shoe but I'll shocked as things stands.
She, and the supporting cast, powers up like mad very quickly, while it seems nothing else dos the same. (again, by half way though book 2)
Also, her faction mindlessly worships her and to them, she can do no wrong, they seem to have selective memories. (Execute someone who is not even in your faction, while you're in a tense standoff when the goal is to get their party to leave in peace? Genius.)

I give it a 3 because while it is not great, it works well enough for a background book while I do something else.

A.I slop meets lit-rpg scailies.

While I generally don't mind anthros, but this one seems a bit too needlessly ruthless and slightly slips over into petty evil. That said it is an end of the world scenario so I guess we're playing by post-apocalyptic rules for this one. Still, at least no one's wearing leather and riding bikes; might be a miss opportunity imo tho. As for recommendations, if you like brutal realism such as from "people are the real monster" in zombie apocalypses mashup with "your life's now a video game" steming from system apocalypses then well this one might be for you.

p.s fuzzy dices are not included.

good story held back by phrasing and the TTS

some of the phrasings and conversations were not the best writing, but perfectly acceptable. the TTS is very monotonous and well not the worst I've heard it holds the text back

This is review of books 1-5

Decent series just wished they were linked in audible. I was worried this was harem porn like so many others and this book art but nothing like that at all. Just wish story was flushed out some more. Felt very rushed each book would do well twice as long.
