Jin Rou wanted to be a cultivator. A man powerful enough to defy the heavens. A master of martial arts. A lord of spiritual power. Unfortunately for him, he died, and now I’m stuck in his body. Arrogant Masters? Heavenly Tribulations? All that violence and bloodshed? Yeah, no thanks. I’m getting out of here. Farm life sounds pretty great. Tilling a field by hand is fun when you’ve got the strength of ten men—though maybe I shouldn’t have fed those Spirit Herbs to my pet rooster.

Mankind’s only hope rests on the shoulders of a man they hate the most. A man who has taken every possible measure, both accepted and forbidden, to attain power. Sungchul Kim, the man who reached the pinnacle of strength, now stands alone against the Calamities. Not because he is a hero, but because of a promise.

Publisher's Summary
Somewhere out there, in the great expanse of space and time, exist the Fabled Islands. Nobody knows how or why they exist, only that it is a strange and special place that operates under laws separate from the universe.
The Fabled Islands are made up of vast floating continents. They vary in size, with some ranging from the surface area of a small planet to a star. If you look at them from afar, you would find that they are placed in a line. Each island is separated by a vast amount of space, so there is only one way to travel from one island to the next: a gateway on the edge of the island.
Each island is governed by strange rules. The only thing they share in common is that the rules are governed by the System. The rules change vastly from one island to the next, so you must quickly adapt.
Tristan was raised on the first island, Fertility Island, and has finally been allowed to become a Brave - a respected profession throughout the islands. Fertility Island is a peaceful island. There are hardly any monsters; the land is fertile and the people kind.
This is the complete opposite of what Tristan wants. Bring on the monsters! Bring on the magical items! I want adventure, loot, and to put my life on the line! Where are the dungeons, caverns, and mountains to be explored? Where is the mythical equipment to be found? The next island? Then to the next island I will go!
His adventure begins now.
This is book 1 of the Fabled Islands series.

A treasured island compared to other works
Well, here we are, yet another Cameron Milan story. I’ve reviewed a few of his books so far such as Desire and Zombie Slayer, but I have to say that this is probably my favorite of his series. Now, you may realize that as I have stated before that Milan has a habit of creating extremely OP characters and sometimes his dialogue is cartoonish. Coupling those things with weak narration and I wasn’t a big fan. The fact is I was pretty much done with his Desire series, but gave this a try because it was new.
So this is basically a YA title. AS in for Young adults, and I actually think that he is actually geared towards YA stuff rather then full blown hard core stuff. The over powered characters work well in this setting, as does his character’s speech patterns. I.E. “I’m gonna go beat him up and take his card. That works better in a book for youngsters than it does an adult. I don’t know why, but for me this worked way better than anything he’s written prior to this. His characters, the setting, and the gameplay all fit right into the YA mold pretty well. I believe that this might be a good way to break younger audiences into Gamelit/Litrpg stuff.
One thing that I liked a lot was the way that the game system employed the use of cards. It was, for me, different and I liked the concept a lot better than simple leveling. The way it works is that whenever you defeat an opponent they will drop a card that might boost your attributes, provide a power increase to your magic, or grant you a special ability such as water walking. There are also secret cards that you can find, or earn, so that you are always on the hunt for more cards to power you up. Also, each island that you go to provides different things. The island that Tristan hailed from was a place that had endless food supplies, and at the end of the book they were talking about going to treasure island. I wonder what will be there.
The story starts off with the MC, a young lad named Tristan, getting ready to defeat his last dungeon on Bountiful Island so that he can move on to bigger and better things. He’s trained his whole life to become a Brave, but he is really a Jack of all trades kind of character. On the way he runs into a girl. They become friends and he ends up mentoring her as they go from place to place until she levels up hard and helps him fight some baddies. The book is basically the pair wandering around and doing things, so it is a slice of life and I am not a big fan of those.
My problems were basically the same that I always seem to have with Milan, his characters are all OP and never seem to be in any danger. There is one scene where Tristan has his arm cut off and he’s just like, “Wow, that was a cool move! How’d you do that?” At no point did he say Crap, I just lost my arm. I’m gonna die. Stuff like that takes me right out of it, and I truly think that I would like his books a lot better if he toned his characters powers down because all you really do is follow the couple around as they kill stuff. I also have to wonder how YA the book actually is since there are some questionable scenes like when Tristan spies on some dwarves getting it on in their bedroom. Not exactly what I want my 13 year old to be reading.
Finally, I have to say that he has, at last, found a narrator who can do his story justice. Steve Campbell is probably the reason that I enjoyed this as much as I did. He makes wonky dialogue come off as normal and keeps the listener on the hook. Like I said with Zombie Slayer, the narration was weak and could not support the story. Here, Campbell keeps the story going when it might have petered out if he wasn’t here. I enjoyed his voices, and I’m glad to see him finally doing more Litrpg work.
Final score, 7.4 stars. This is a real step up from his other stories, and it is one I would happily let my younger kids listen to, so long as I got to do a little filtering.

Fun, Creative, and Interesting
Tristan is a hero who is looking to conquer all of the Fabled islands. Once he gets his chance fun and action ensue.
Cameron Milan does a wonderful job building the world that Tristan and his companion live in. He also does an amazing job of fleshing out the characters as the story unfolds.
Steve Cambell's narration was fluid and fun to listen to. He has a wide variety of voices that he performed well and kept the story engaging as it moved along.
I have to say that after finishing the book I wanted very much to get the next one to see how Tristan continue on his journey.

Great story and narration!
Tristan grew up on one of the Fabled Islands. a place where each island is like a level in a video game. having been taken care of by his grandfather, he is now about to start his own adventures.
Steve does a good job with a narration.
I really enjoyed this book, and look forward to what else is going to happen in the next one!

LitRPG for young readers
Tristan is a fledgling Brave, an adventurer searching for levels, loot, and thrills. He sets out with a new friend, Sophia, to explore the other islands. Tristan has secrets he needs to hide from his new friend, but as each island presents new challenges he finds it harder to hide his own past.
This book definitely fills the need for more Young Adult LitRPG, it's a great introduction to the genre for a younger reader. The writing is solid and uncomplicated, there was no romance and little cursing. The stats aren't complicated or repeated too often. I enjoyed the world building, and following along with the pair, it was a fun journey.
The narration was well done, with different voices and accents for each character. It was a good performance, and pulled me right into the story. I requested a copy of the audiobook, and I'm voluntarily leaving a review.

Enjoyable YA LitRPG Adventure with Lots of Promise
Disclaimer: I received a free copy in exchange for an honest review.
Fabled Islands is a YA LitRPG adventure. That may tell you exactly what you need to know and if you give the book a chance on that classification, you will not be disappointed.
The writing is clean, easy to read and the straightforward plot progression and character goals make it a great title for younger readers.
The characters and world hold a few mysteries that are teased throughout and while we do learn a few vital clears by the end of the first volume, there is a lot of promise for future volumes in the series while building re-reading value for this book.
I largely liked the main characters and found their friendship / partnership to be refreshing. It’s not often you can read an adventure with a teenage boy and girl that does not have romantic overtones. They have clear objectives and support each other. They have different strengths and weaknesses in character and skill set.
I liked this first arc as a satisfying adventure but will happily check out future volumes. I think the history and backstory of several characters could be rich mines to delve into during future adventures.
I liked the card system as a form of currency / stat boosts / powerups and collectible. One of the highlights of the world building.
My one complaint: Unlike most LitRPGs I’ve read this does not appear to be people playing a video game but people living in a world with a video game-like “System.” Killing, death, looting, ageing and respawning and its impact on human and nonhuman creatures is left somewhat unclear. This makes certain scenes both more serious and not serious enough in gravitas. I am hoping that further explanations will come further down the line because it caused a couple head scratching moments but did not detract much from my enjoyment. That would have pushed my 4 star review to 4.5 stars.
The narration was clear and served the story very well. I would be happy to hear more books by Steve Campbell.

Good Book/Great Narrator
This was a good book in my opinion and a very good narrator. I felt as though the MC was written very well although at times felt more like a preteen rather than a young adult. For a litRPG genre book I believe the author did a decent job at writing a story that was very easy to imagine.

The series stops after this
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
TLDR; Had I known the author wasn't going to finish this series I probably wouldn't have listened.
This is an ok book, I can sort of see why the author stopped after this one, The main character is kind of broken, and the story progresses too fast for the whole thing to really "work". That said it's enjoyable enough,
Overall, if you can't stand the idea of an unfinished story don't start this. If you can deal with not having an ending it's a fun listen.

A great start
This is a great first book in what could be an amazing litrpg serise, it's got plenty of depth and good world building, very descriptive with attention to detail.
The narration is superb bringing life to the story and giving the characters a life of their own.
over all good.

I'm gonna need the next book ASAP
I adored this book. I was draw in from moment 1 and kept finding excuses to listen, I even messed up an ankle because I went for a much longer walk than usual just so I could listen more.
the characters reminds me of older RPGs in that they aren't well fleshed out, but by the end they are starting to show some growth and I suspect there will be more of it in the next book.
there are however plenty of action and exploration with a MC that is used to being OP, but occasionally finds out that he isn't the only one who have impressive skills...
as to the narration Steve Campbell does a sweet job of giving the characters voices and personalities with his narration.
there is room for improvement and a few sound effects would do wonders, but he is closer to the 4th star than the 3rd...
I can see him becoming one of my stable of go to narrators...

Unrelatable character motivations and choices
Apart from being suicidally naive, the characters chose to give the stolen dwarven artifact to a tyrant, allowing him to maintain his unbreakable monopoly and subjugation of the people. monsters.

Story
One day, six towers appear on Earth. Each one stands hundreds of stories tall, and are invulnerable to all attacks. At the base of each tower is a portal, welcoming in all who dare enter it. All sorts of magical monsters can be found inside the towers. Even treasure, magic, and superhuman strength can be acquired. The problem is that the towers aren't a friendly place. Even worse, the towers sometimes release waves of monsters to attack Earth. In the year 2083, there are only a hundred survivors. In one last attempt, they challenge the final floor without regard for their lives.

Fight, survive, adapt, and rely only on yourself. That is Derek’s creed and what's got him through the System Integration on Earth. Everything changed when the System came. Cute bunnies and beautiful butterflies became savage killing machines. Then the Invaders arrived with a single goal: to obtain ownership of this new habitable planet. War has raged ever since. None of this mattered much to Derek, aside from making living a little more perilous.

It’s not easy making the career jump from office-supplies-store middle manager to heroic interdimensional adventurer. At least, Jason tries to be heroic, but it's hard to be good when all your powers are evil. He’ll face off against cannibals, cultists, wizards, monsters...and that’s just on the first day. He’s going to need courage, he’s going to need wit, and he’s going to need some magic powers of his own. But first, he’s going to need pants.

Story
There was once a velveteen rabbit, and in the beginning he was really splendid. He was fat and bunchy, as a rabbit should be; his coat was spotted brown and white, he had real thread whiskers, and his ears were lined with pink sateen. On Christmas morning, when he sat wedged in the top of the Boy's stocking, with a sprig of holly between his paws, the effect was charming.
