Summary

After participating in the empire's vassal war, Matt, Liz, and Aster now have a fire nipping after their heels. Or rather, their new manager, Luna. And she demands their best at all times, or she will drive them off The Path of Ascension.

With the Tier-10 tournament looming in front of them, the gang is going to have to dig deep if they want to continue on the path, but Luna isn't the only one who has plans.

Can Matt, Liz, and Aster survive the machinations of a Tier-40 who has created several Ascenders before? Or will they simply be another statistic on The Path?

Don't miss book four of this action-packed fantasy adventure that blends everything you love about LitRPG with xianxia.

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.

Pretty good

Enjoyable story, worth a listen. Could use more depth and a faster pace. Mythos is a bit vague.

Great addition

Originally skips a bit if you originally listened to book 3 (not the omnibus/box set). But, the story is a great continuation of the story. I can't wait for the tournament in the next installment. Tournament sagas are my favourite

Love the series

Really enjoy the world building but the book felt somewhat like a filler, a lot around rift building and less action than other books. Seemingly set up well for more action in book 5

Excellent fleshing out of elements

I just enjoyed the book, there are time skips, which unless you expected to listen to repetitive training that they would most certainly continue throughout. Expect years to skip by as if it were days in some cases. The author does an excellent job at giving senses of days and progress and also divulging huge swathes of time.

Looking forward to the next one :)

well 3.5 roundet up to 4

I like the series! but this one sounded like a filler. the bits with actual story where fun but most was repetition. sometimes 2-3 sentence after another with only slight alterations but basically the same sentence. could have Ben crunshed together by a lot and would have been better for it. hope this is not a Trent for the next books! will see and hope

OK but not great.

Put "eye of the tiger" on repeat and prepare yourself on an epic training montage. As said this book is mostly a training montage some character building and a tiny bit of story. So if you are strapped for cash skip this one and buy the next one in this series.
I sound more negative than I am. This book is of the same standard as the others in the series, the narration is good and so is the story, the little of it there is.

Skip this one.. seriously

Books 1-3 have been some of my favourite of this year. 4 was a shocking and complete waste of time.

TLDR, they train and train and train and train and train and train and train and train. Boring filler for the entire book. rift theory did nothing, potions did nothing, ice cream was eaten. but now they are like a decade ahead and a strong. Now you know the entire book just wait for 5.
