World Unbound

The System Apocalypse, Book 6

De: Tao Wong

Narrado por: Nick Podehl

Four years ago, the Erethran honor guard arrived and threw John Lee into a portal to another world. Since then, Earth has received no word of the intrepid adventurer. Until now.

Finding his way back to Earth through a portal, John returns to a very changed world. The shackles of galactic control have bound Earth and humanity ever tighter to the system.

Now, John has to find a way to free Earth from galactic control while battling stronger, more powerful enemies. And worst of all, he will need to indulge in politics.

Good thing he's got a new class and new allies.

World Unbound is the sixth book of The System Apocalypse, a litRPG/gamelit series of post-apocalypse troubles, sci-fi and fantasy elements, all in a world filled with game mechanics.

This series contains elements of games like level-ups, experience, enchanted materials, a sarcastic spirit, mecha, a beguiling dark elf, monsters, minotaurs, a fiery red head, and a semi-realistic view on violence and its effects. Does not include harems.

Great series, but couldn't get into this one.

I don't know if it was the amount of time between the last book and this one, but I had trouble staying interested in this book. It was hard to follow with all of the political angles and trying to remember which characters were which is probably why I didn't get into this one as much. I bet if the book was available right after I listened to the prior book I may have felt differently.

a little rushed

the book seems a little rushed from start to finish, but the characters are rushed too, so that might be okay...
still, it meant that the character interactions which was one of the greatest strengths of the first books are fewer and a little more surface level...
this book ends arc 2 and it seems like book 7 will have the possibility of moving back to the more personal level even if taking place on a larger playing field...

Nick is great every time I hear his voice, this is no different...

Amazing, Amazing, Amazing!

One of if not the best Literature RPG series.. Only wished they would release the audible version as fast as he releases the books themselves.

His friends...

I like Jon but hate all of his friends. They can all get bent. They constantly act like they are better than him and I hate when the MC agrees that they are

best book yet

I can't wait for the next book. I own it but I'm going slow to savor the series also I hate waiting for new books.

amazing

definitely one of my top 5 favorite ongoing book series. looking forward to number 7 and the mentioned 5.5

Different but good

I've really enjoyed this series, and this book is no exception, however this book is a change from previous books in the series. It tackles a world were people have adapted and pure survival isn't the constant day to day struggle. I'm very excited to see where the next book goes.

This is book 6, still going strong!

Still really enjoying it the story even with the more political turn the story has taken in the last few book. it is a world I want hear more about with characters I lover. can't wait to see where it is going next!

Feels like its missing something, but still great

Another great addition, and one that was necessary to transition into the next arc.

A shift in the charcater opens up new dimensions.

So, I have been waiting for this book for a while. I enjoyed it. There was a shift in the character's pov. I think it will allow for a wider view than we were previously given. I am trying not to give to much away.

The story skips forward 4 years, after he returns from his master class quest. He has new insights to himself, his skills and to some degree the universe its self and himself. Some of it I think is still limited, but shows room for character growth. A solid shift point for the character. The story is so-so +, it is entertaining, but a little disjointed compared to previous book. All in all enjoyable and worth a listen.

Audible's rating is:
1 Star is "not for me"
2 Stars "it is okay"
3 Stars "pretty good"
4 Stars "it's great"
5 Stars "I love it"

A one star book could be a very dry topic, story,crude or someone preaching down to the reader. I generally don't have 1 star books. I will just return them and go my own way. My last 3 were from the same series, I had hit a very dry spot in my listening.

A 2 star story, would be something that was phoned in by a writer that typically has done much better work. I have a couple of reviews from authors that just seemed to phone it in, one most recently from an author that decided to mix current politics into his novel. If I wanted that, I would just watch the news.

A 3 star review is where I really start. It means I enjoyed the book. That I did not have a hard time following it (I have lost alot of my conversational hearing). That the story kept to a plot, the characters were not static, and the world built was plausable.

A 4 star review is something that I really enjoyed. It puts the author on my map to keep an eye out for. I go through 12-15 books a month. (audible is my primary source of entertainment. ) I will search for the author's works regularly, and seek out their stories for future purchases.

A 5 star review, These are not as rare as one would think. These are the books where the characters grow, learn, act according to their nature. Where the world is not only plausible but believable. Where there are economic systems, businesses, rules of law that make sense. Where the story is woven is progressed and told with caring and dedication. These are books, series, authors and narrators that bring it all in a package.

So, when reading my reviews, if anyone does, that is how I judge the books.
