Story
Five years ago Corin Cadence's brother entered the Serpent Spire - a colossal tower with ever-shifting rooms, traps, and monsters. Those who survive the spire's trials return home with an attunement: a mark granting the bearer magical powers. According to legend, those few who reach the top of the tower will be granted a boon by the spire's goddess. He never returned. Now it's Corin's turn. He's headed to the top floor, on a mission to meet the goddess.

Story
Keras Selyrian is already well on the way to cutting his name into the annals of legend. He’s fought false divinities, thieving sorcerers, and corrupt demigods - and left them defeated in his wake. But he’s a long way from home, and Kaldwyn offers a different brand of danger than he’s used to. He’s already got a sword of unfathomable power, but it’s damaged and leaking world-annihilating mana, so he’s in the market for a new one. Possibly six. The more the better, really.

Story
Felix's life on Earth had become a series of dead-end jobs, ruined relationships, and rotating apartments smaller than most postage stamps. By all accounts, even his own, he was a coward. Too afraid to move forward, to take risks. Yet when given the chance to choose between risking his life or walking away from a deadly encounter, he didn't hesitate. Moments before his untimely demise, Felix was snatched from earth and thrust into a magical world known only as "The Continent". Empowered by the "System", he learns that he can strengthen himself through combat and dedication.

At least, Jason tries to be heroic, but it's hard to be good when all your powers are evil. He’ll face off against cannibals, cultists, wizards, monsters...and that’s just on the first day. He’s going to need courage, he’s going to need wit, and he’s going to need some magic powers of his own. But first, he’s going to need pants.

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 and 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.

Fight, survive, adapt, and rely only on yourself. That is Derek’s creed and what's got him through the System Integration on Earth. Everything changed when the System came. Cute bunnies and beautiful butterflies became savage killing machines. Then the Invaders arrived with a single goal: to obtain ownership of this new habitable planet. War has raged ever since. None of this mattered much to Derek, aside from making living a little more perilous.

Publisher's Summary
Corin Cadence finally has a firm reason to believe his brother, Tristan, is still alive. Unfortunately, finding more information isn’t going to be easy. Tristan appears to be entangled with a clandestine organization that calls themselves Whispers. And Corin’s last brush with the Whispers didn’t exactly end well.
As much as he wants to follow that lead, Corin has more pressing problems to deal with. Sera is still suffering from a mysterious malady that has stolen her voice and her magic. Corin knows that a portion of that is his fault, and he’s determined to fix it. His mother is still off in another country, and there are growing odds that she’s involved with a conspiracy to overthrow the visages.
Corin has also been branded with a new magical mark on his right hand - one that even veteran climbers don’t seem to recognize. He’s going to need to figure out how it works, otherwise it could be more of a vulnerability than an asset.
Corin still hasn’t finished his first year at Lorian Heights. If he fails his final exams, he’ll be sent off to the military and lose his chance to investigate his brother’s fate. And finally, there’s the issue of enemies. He might have made a few of them.
The biggest problem? He’s not sure if Jin, once one of his closest companions, is one of them.

No plot. All exposition.
Pros: great a describing fights and duels. Obviously put a lot of time and effort into world building and the magic system. Good representation of non binary characters and an asexual protagonist.
Cons : no plot. Repetitive first person angstyness. It feels like the story was squished in to have an excuse for a book. Reads like a video game. Lots of levels, grinding for xp will be returning for credit.

Holy Unecessary Monologues Batman!
Do you want to read a book where the main character manages to be both annoyingly incompetent at everything and yet simultaneously always “wins the day?”
Where you listen to the inner thoughts of a young man as he questions literally everything in existence but never for any reason that is obvious or interesting to the reader?
But best of all, where you can listen to literal Godlike beings of “insurmountable” power come down on multiple occasions to fight the mortals and instead just stand there and repeat “hmmm interesting” and “hmmm you have piqued my interest” and “hmmm you did better than I expected” and “hmmm I think I might enjoy this fight” and “hmmm I like you I think I’m going to kill you next” all while the mortals just stand around and take turns whacking the godbeing over and over and the main character sits there and you get to listen to them do nothing while chanting “I need to do something! What can I do!!” Every 60 seconds for like 8 hours straight?!?!?!
Well do I have the book for you!!!
Seriously if I have to listen to another paragraph of big bad evil thing pontificating on how interesting and fun the mere mortals are in a fight and how they “might have to take this a tiny bit more seriously now than they originally wanted” I’m going to stick a screwdriver through my ears.
Semi-interesting series just totally ruined by obnoxious enemies and an annoyingly competent incompetent main character.

I’m new at this
I haven’t listened to many audiobooks but the narration of this one was amazing. Nick did a great job with the voices and I often thought that there must be more than one person doing the voices. The story was solid and I loved the humor. I am looking forward to book three but I will be waiting for the audiobook. This was just way to much fun!

loved the book. Can't wait for part 3! I read the 1st book and listened to the 2nd. If I read the 3rd all I will hear in my head is Nick podel's glorious voice for Corin Cadence and the rest.

Just pointless grinding.
This is not a good book, and I do not understand the ratings given by other readers.
I am 10 hours into it, and I am seriously considering if it's worth the time to continue listening.
There is nothing relevant happening. Unless you call a few sparring duels, or class tests exciting because that's practically all he is doing. Maybe one or two other things, but all lost in hours of excruciatingly boring grinding.
The shortcomings from the first book are back with a vengeance.
The main character spends his time talking about magic theory. About the many types of mana. About the many magic items he thinks of making but likely never will, He keeps asking a million questions from anyone he encounters. Describing all items he finds or sees in detail, Describing the runes. Wondering if he could make them himself - he can't.
Opening a box of items is an opportunity for 1 hour or more of sifting through. In one scene he gets the idea that a visage might blow up his head using his atunement and so we have another few pointless introspection.
It's not just bad, It's bad enough to ruin my trust in the author's ability to carry a book.
