À propos de cet audio
He was a Hero. Now he's not. He'll stop at nothing to rise to the top again.
 
 Max was murdered, but now he is mostly over it. Living on earth as a recent college graduate, he can still perfectly recall his past life on the fantasy world of Albion before that. He'd been hailed as the "Hero of the World" after crawling his way up from poverty, eventually enjoying great fame and luxury.
But on mana-starved Earth, he's just a guy.
However, when Earth is suddenly attacked, changing the natural laws of the world and threatening all life on the planet, Max will get a new opportunity to regain some of his lost power...and then some. He discovers an entire system of multi-dimensional colleges created for those gifted with a Path.
The universe is much larger than Max had even known ever during his first life. Max is not the Hero of Albion anymore, but the drive to excel is still part of his nature. And the more power he has, the easier it should be to save his world.
...Right?
Welcome to this unique twist on isekai fantasy in the next LitRPG Adventure by bestseller Blaise Corvin, author of Delvers LLC and Apocalypse Cultivation.

Histoire5 out of 5 stars 23
Mark’s new life begins in the worst possible place—a burned-out village haunted by undead. Each morning these ravenous creatures disappear, only to return at night, driven by a relentless hunger. He'll need to stay low and think quick, because trapped and alone in the body of a child, he can’t level up in this new world. At least not yet. Soon Mark will learn that even among the living, safety isn’t guaranteed. When the small town that he ends up in turns out to be at the center of a conspiracy that threatens the world, he'll need to uncover the truth before it's too late.

Histoire4.5 out of 5 stars 6
It’s Drop Night, the one night every decade when the gods hand out cards to a lucky few. If you get a deck, you’re a deckbearer capable of wondrous feats within the Great Game system. You can control powerful monsters and summon mantles that let you fight alongside your beasts. Ethan Wolfe, top enforcer for the Grimm family mob, has already been overlooked on two previous Drop Nights. People of his ilk seldom receive cards, as the gods tend to favor people who follow their divine mandates, but that doesn’t mean Wolfe can’t hope.

Struggling to comprehend powers beyond his imagination, Leon must master the mystical art of Qi cultivation while hiding his abilities from those who might exploit them.

Matt's in the prime of his life. So when his doctor tells him he only has months to live, he figures it's just really bad luck. But it's about to get a whole lot worse. When Matt's Earthly form finally expires, a truck-avatar system gives him the opportunity to become a hero on the paradise world of Gaia, a supposedly verdant, rich land teeming with plants and potential. What he finds instead is a place completely bereft of life. A literal dead planet. Thanks a lot, truck.

As a monster, Shrubley is forbidden from joining the adventurers guild. In a world where essence artists rank up in power and most monsters are feral beasts, Shrubley is among the weakest of creatures and is treated as an outcast. With curiosity essence bound to his spirit, Shrubley might be weak, but he's intelligent and determined. Against all the odds, he discovers a loophole from the Druid that gave him life—but there's a deadly catch. For a chance of ever being accepted as a true adventurer, he must challenge an otherworldly realm threatening to consume everything.

Eric was as shocked as everyone else when the apocalypse struck, but unlike his mother's movie, there were no chosen heroes destined to fight the beast hordes now overrunning the planet. Just people trying desperately to survive. Yet there was a glimmer of hope that humanity could hold on to. A chosen few really could level up in this brave new world, and embrace magic, adventure, and the potential for limitless power!

This time, he will seize every opportunity, fight every monster, and plunder every treasure as he enjoys life to the fullest. If only it were that easy. Humans are considered one of the weakest sentient races, confined to their patch of land but that hasn't changed their nature as they fight amongst themselves forced to split their sources of power instead of unite for the greater whole

In his past life, Dollar was an unparalleled mind forged by the flames of tribulation. He'd built his wealth and influence from nothing and never looked back. But after dying and reincarnating into the world of Ioa, he is thrust into poverty and trapped in a forest of flames with nothing but a decrepit wooden hut to protect him.

Gary doesn’t have all that much going for him. He’s a teenage boy who lives in a Tier-3 town that’s barely hanging on, and his family’s just a rung above dirt poor. Which is why he’s taken the very dangerous step of becoming an errand boy for the savage Underdogs gang. He doesn’t like what they do, but if he tries to get out, he’s pretty sure he’ll get very dead.

In a blink, I found myself in an unknown land, greeted by the textbox of an unfriendly system. It wanted me to become a great hero, save the world, win the love of the people and all that crap. But this new world already had a hero. Why should I bust my ass, deal with dragons and the unknown, for people I didn't know? Let him deal with that. It's his job! So instead of being tempted by the system's nonsense, I chose a simple class. Potion maker. I wasn't interested in cultivating mana and defying the heavens, courting death, none of that crap.

Good but doesn't finish an arc at all...
Un problème est survenu. Veuillez réessayer dans quelques minutes.
I have to say I really enjoyed this story. I’m sad that book 2 isn’t out yet, but it will be soon. I will be following this series closely. Quite an intriguing arc, a bit of a slow burn, but in a good way. The story is genuinely interesting, especially the bits between bigger set pieces. There is lots to learn, and an interesting magic system, or rather “path system”. I think many magic systems exist in the universe, so that’s neat. And while it may be a slow burn as I said, there is a velocity to the story that always pushes the reader into new interesting things, so a slow burn isn’t a bad thing in this case. The MC is compelling enough and the writing fascinating enough that even the mundane takes on some appeal here. It’s well done.
The MC is pretty cool, fairly grounded, and down to earth. Lots of interesting information is gleaned from conversations, and you get a sense the MC has a boatload yet to learn. The MC seems set to embark upon a huge series of situations and events. It’s been well hinted at that this spans the multiverse, which makes this quite fascinating.
If this doesn’t turn into at least 8 or 10 good books, then slap me sideways. The writing is quite good, but I also think the MC’s intentions can be shared more with the reader with no detriment to storytelling. Sometimes ignorance isn’t bliss, and the reader is kept in the dark about the MC’s intentions, and in this case, I think it somewhat hurts the reader’s view of the MC, though after the events, once you understand everything, it makes perfect sense.
The ending needed more closure, even if people will just roll straight into book 2 when it releases. When a bunch of cool things happen in the book, but the book ends before you can even get a taste of what it all means, you are left on the wrong kind of cliffhanger IMHO…in fact, the end of the book feels like it’s one cliffhanger removed from the real cliffhanger…which is a strange place to leave a book. But still, it hardly ruins it. I’m just annoyed I have to wait a few days yet for the release of book 2 ;) so it’s maybe a me problem and not a book issue.
None of those critiques will be an issue once a few more books are released, as people will read through the end right into the next book, so who cares?
Give it a listen. It’s really enjoyable. I cannot wait for more.
Fantastic narration and story. Solid MC. Fun listen.

It’s got a dash of everything I like. Isekai, academy, a nice spin on summoners, 4X war, financial struggle, mana system\points\shop\gods, dungeons, combat, Canadian(s)…
Checks every one of my boxes

The main character is the Hero of Albion, the most powerful warrior from a magical world, until he was murdered and reincarnated as a baby on zero-magic Earth. The first few chapters is spent with him trying to find a way to use his memories of his past life to improve his life. But then suddenly the tone of the novel changes as monsters invade Earth. After slaying one of them, our main character ends up in a magical academy for people from across the multiverse, where he will learn how to be a summoner - one of the weakest classes. So much for being a novel about a hero on Earth! All right, let's go with the academy. The main character begins to fit in, learning how to be a summoner, with the advantage of already knowing one of the paths from his first life. And there's hints that summoners might not be as weak as people believe, as well as an interesting world and bullying and--then the main character decides to PLAN AND EXECUTE A MASS MURDER of students from a rival school, for the reason that... some bullies from that school hurt him and his friend. The longer that chapter went, the more clear it became that everything was premeditated. And I just lost all sympathy for the main character and couldn't continue reading.
The characters are interesting, and the world building is fine. The narrator is great. The tone, like I said, bounces around the place. But the one thing I can't forgive a novel for is making me think the main character is a bad person.
Not for everyone

I would only reccomend this book for someone not looking for a read with a lot of substance. it is very simple, and the narration is very drawling and bleak. The protagonist leaves much to be desired in regards to personality and character. The empathetic contexts I have read thus far have been a bit corney.
The most apt TLDR description/vibe I think that suits this book would be the "gramatic expectations of a top ten modern pop track"
if you really enjoyed He who fights monsters, this book will disappoint you.
Simple.
