About this listen

When you steal Time Magic, prepare to run for eternity …

Arlan can go back in time by one minute, once per day.

Fail a challenge? Say something dumb? He can get a redo as long as he acts fast.

And every time he levels up, he can go back a little further.

But, even with his growing power, Arlan has never been in more danger. He was left stranded in the middle of a monster-infested forest, nobody to rely on but himself as he fights to build strength.

And his time magic wasn't given to him freely.

He stole it.

And its original owners would go to any lengths to take it back.

Don't miss the start of a new LitRPG adventure filled with time magic, three-dimensional characters, a crunchy LitRPG system, tactical combat, and power progression where level-ups are hard-earned and bring with them meaningful change in characters’ abilities.

I liked the concept. Liked the world. Initially liked the main character. Even found the corporate structure of the underworld interesting.

But the long demon names get difficult to listen to over time. Cudos to the narrator for powering through those. And half the book is just system messages. We really don’t need to hear the full lengthy system message for every single offensive action, though the whole book. Set the trend. Then figure out how to use a shorthand or summary. Constant lengthy damage notifications ruin the flow of the battle scenes.

Also as the stakes increase. Our main characters have to fight harder and harder battles. But the ease that they defeat their opponents is unreasonable. I can’t see an army of trained soldiers. With swords and bows. And classes specifically for combat. Being beaten in melee combat by two untrained spell casters with no weapons and no armor. And that’s without the MC using his special gimmick.

All the other characters seem to all act like our main character is “the hero” of a story. Giving up things for themselves to advantage the main character. But there’s no reason to treat our spoiled MC as a golden chilled.

The cursing also gets worse as the story progresses.

I wanted to like the story. I initially thought I found my next good listen where I’d buy all the books. But I’m ready to be done with our main character now. I’m rooting for the bad guys just to end this all.

Started out good. Got less believable over time.

This wasn't terrible. As the title says it could really use an editor. Aside from that I personally dislike the trope of having characters conveniently forget important things to increase tension. It just makes the characters seem like absolute turnips.
