Publisher's Summary

Books one through three in the hit The Path of Ascension series are now available in this special audio bundle. It also includes book 3.5, an exclusive novella set between books three and four in the series.

Orphaned by monsters, Matt must power-up to save others from the same fate.

Matt plans to delve the rifts responsible for the monsters that destroyed his city and murdered his parents. But his dreams are crushed when his Tier One Talent is rated as detrimental, and no guild or group will take him.

Working at a nearby inn, he meets a mysterious and powerful couple who give him a chance to join the Path of Ascension, an empire-wide race to ascend the Tiers and become living legends.

With their recommendation and a stolen Skill, Matt begins his journey to the peak of power. Maybe then, he can get vengeance he seeks....

About the series: This is a mix between LitRPG and xianxia. It's like a car that looks like a LitRPG with dungeons and skills, but the interior and engine are all xianxia. It features a magic system and progression system that are logically and internally consistent, as well as realistic fight scenes and a rational MC.

Amazing Story & Amazing Narrator!

TL;DR Great progression story, well written and exciting. Amazing Narration. Great Value with 3 books + novella. 9.5/10 overall, definitely pick it up!

just an amazing progression/xianxia story.. this was my first xianxia after reading a bit of litrpgs, although definitely quite different there are enough similarities if you came from litrpgs. The story is great, always hooked and want to hear/read more! The progression is also well planned out, steady most of the time with rare power leaps for more significant progress. The narration is great! There's so many awful narrators out there, at times they've even made me quit a series altogether because I just couldn't stand listening anymore. Its definitely not the BEST narration I've ever heard (the narrators for Dungeon Crawler Carl & The Black Tongue Thief are 2 of my favs, the later even being the actual author which is insane)..

Overall, I'd give this a 9.5/10!

Great progression story

Good story, engaging storyline, the pacing is good and the whole is definitely worth the credits. Will buy the rest of this as it comes out

Too much RL politics.

Decent world building, good narration, but way too cringe. Political views best suited for 12-15 year olds
