The Whispering Crystals Omnibus: Books 1-3 of a LitRPG Adventure

De: H.C. Mills

Narrado por: Erica Maity

Three volumes in a single offering!

Ever wished a portal would open up and swallow you? Don’t. Trust me.

Slinging hotdogs may not be the most glorious side gig, but hey, if it paid for college, that’s all Emma could ask for. And let’s be real, of all the crowds in the world, what were the odds that Comic-Con would get Portalled next?

Emma really should’ve known better. Once again, the universe conspires against her, and now she’s stuck in a world where the laws of physics don’t seem to apply, and even the grass is trying to kill her. She better pay close heed to the Artificial Intelligence guiding her and make some new friends fast, because out here, it’s thrive or die.

And no amount of videogames prepared her for a world where you can actually gain Skills and level up. Or to face a series of trials that seem designed to kill her rather than teach her how to survive... What could possibly be the real goal of the mysterious ‘predecessors’ that built them?

It could be better

I'm literally not attracted to stories of same gender intimate relationships. I understand the philosophy and am intrigued by the premise, but I'm one of those people who likes to imagine myself in the role of the main character. I just can't do that if the author puts the main character into situations that I'm uncomfortable with.

It's about as hard to put up with as stories that describe the main chapter as humble or low-key and then has them constantly behaving contrary to the character profile.

Yay, the low-key rich guy in hiding, is attending an upper class party in jeans and a t-shirt. Way to have every eye upon you mr. low-key.

Continuous bad due to foolish characters

Another story of continuous bad things happening to the characters due to their own foolishness. Some of the story is good when the MC is being foolish.

Quite a rush and heart stopping story

When this first started, I didn’t think that I would enjoy it but it soon had me wrapped up in the story. I will be watching for Book Four!!

Boring

The MC keeps saying she's bored because of all the opening solo grinding. If the MC is bored, how's the reader supposed to feel? Yep. bored. And the simple infusion system still seems a little confusing.

I never thought i would be into this story.

I was a bit supprised when the story turned out to be so good. The only thing is the romance and relationship stuff in book 3 kinda threw me off. It ended up taking up at least 15%-20% of the book which didn't leave room for much else. Other than that it's an alright book and an ok series. Im slightly interested in how things will develop in book 4.

Boring.

If I get sucked through a wormhole to a game like dimension and my first challenge is how to breathe, just kill me. There is little to no action in this book until the end where it has very little fighting and the MCs only real power used is her breath... oh and she can handle toxic environments. I made it through the first book out of three hoping it would get better but nope. Also, the MC seems to be having feelings for her friend who obviously likes her so there's LGBT themes too. Not my cup of tea. The narrator wasn't bad at least.

Why does this exist?

Shockingly boring. It’s like reading a car manual. Imagine wastelands of chapters talking about made up magic. No character development. No story. Just pop up windows and status effects. Whoever wrote this must stop writing books immediately.

Another Mary Sue and propaganda suck up.

using AI to write your books is bad enough, using propaganda characters for every damn character is even worse. Another book with every character being some woke weird crap. no one is normal.

Just Ok

If you are looking for a SF/Fantasy adventure, that is the basic story premise. Unfortunately, practically half of the story revolves around the main character questioning her romantic orientation. It's emphasized to the degree that the rest of the story tends to feel like "filler" in-between existential crises.
