Publisher's Summary

Archon laid low. Power claimed. A new Lord rises.

Felix has established a Stronghold within the Foglands, now called the Territory of Nagast—just as he is now called Autarch. It is a title he cannot help but claim as Felix sets about securing his new base of operations. Defenses must be managed, benefits enjoyed, and his followers set to explore their new land. Finally, things are looking up.

Yet dreams trouble Felix’s sleep. Dreams of fire and sand, wind and undeath. Of crimson armor and golden blades marching across scorched deserts half a Continent away. Among it all, constant and insistent, is need and fear in terrible measure as a figure fights for their very life.

A familiar face—another Unbound.

And he needs Felix’s help.

This series is amazing but...

This series is amazing but I feel like whoever edited the book didn't actually read it. Multiple times in this one and the next questions, ideas, or comments are repeated and it's quite jarring.

Intense, Creative and Captivating

I found this series about a year ago and it's now easily in my top 3. There are a great many books in the LitRPG genre that are just regurgitated garbage, this is a story that stands far above the majority. The world-building, action, pace, characters, just all of it is fantastic and every single book in this series has something to offer. I have found some series in this genre struggle with balancing power scaling in terms of creating situations where the protagonist's growth is meaningful while still encountering more powerful enemies. That is a line Nicoli Gonnella walks better than most every other LitRPG author i have come across. Felix continues to see massive gains while not feeling blatantly OP. In some situations he is miles above everyone else even those a tier above him but he still gets his ass beat in a way that makes sense based on previous world-building and doesn't "break the game" so to speak. His solutions to problems are creative and interesting to listen to without being over the top or coming across situations where the author simply has him win because he's the protagonist. Another aspect Nicoli excels at is stats, there are plenty of examples of good series in this genre that lose their flavor in the later books due to an excessive stat sheet that is constantly drilled into the reader. Rather than type out a spreadsheet for the reader Nicoli describes power gains through flavorful descriptions of an individual's core space and writes in a way that helps the reader visualize what a new skill or advancement looks like and the impact it has.

All in all the series just keeps getting better and better, I was really disappointed in books 6-8 of HWFWM because of the drop in quality for each successive book and an abundance of inconsequential filler. There hasn't been a single point in any one of his books in this series that has been dull or caused me to tune out. The stakes get raised, the struggles are meaningful and the solutions are interesting. I have listened to over 200 hours of LitRPG series, I've been through the good, the bad, and the harem. I will happily spend my credits on each and every book in this series.

If you are looking for a new series to enjoy and you're a fan of the genre this is an easy choice to recommend and one you will be happy you picked up! I recommended this series to my Dad who is a traditional fantasy fan (Brandon Sanderson & Terry Brooks are a couple of his favorites) and he loves it, he prefers to read over listening to the audiobook and he went through the entire series in 2 weeks. Could not recommend this series more, a true gem.

Travis's narration is top notch as always.

Edit: The ending is awesome, a perfect balance of resolving the conflict in the current arc while leaving me wanting the next book right now!!

Wow!

What a way to mix things up! I love the shift of scenery and new characters. This ending might be the most epic of any of his books to date! it is really great to see an author grow into his own.

OMG!!!!! Phenomenal!!!!

Absolutely love this series, I don't understand how it has so little number of views and reviews. This should be ranked up there with HWFWM and other such titles. I can't wait till the next book, only regret is that I started the series before it's completed, and now I have to wait for each book.

THIS SERIES JUST KEEPS GETTING BETTER AND BETTER

From the first 10 minutes of book 1 ive been hooked, the character development is phenomenal, the battle system, the world-building is great and paced super well. i can close my eyes and picture everything thats happening like a movie. i love how the character actually does things that i, as a reader would do or say in certain scenarios and not your typical "oblivious to the obvious" i cant wait to read the next one!
