About this listen

An action packed LitRPG adventure perfect for fans of Solo Leveling, The Primal Hunter, and 1% Lifesteal!

Alone. Surrounded by monsters. Time to fight his way up the food chain.

In the aftermath of an unprecedented magical disaster, Edge wakes up in a monster-infested wilderness, standing on the bottom of the food chain. But he won’t be there for long.

After finding a unique core known as Skill-Eater, Edge gains the power to steal the skills of monsters, men, and beasts, and a chance to battle his way up to the top.

It seems that his luck has finally changed, although he will soon learn that power never comes without a price.

Experience an action packed LitRPG adventure set in a world where artifacts known as Cores let their bearers wield the planet’s magic, and where Skills grant superhuman abilities and kaiju roam the wilds. It's perfect for fans of Solo Leveling, The Primal Hunter, and 1% Lifesteal!

This is a good story and definitely a series to give a chance.
One thing that didnt appeal to me, and this is subjective, is that there was too much introspection and thinking by the mc. I generally like books were the mc thinks and reflects, but here it sometimes feels like an excuse for the author to teach the listener about the world and this takes some momentum from the story. Another thing is that almost every fight, at least in the first half of the book, last very long. To me, that feels a little exhausting.

The book has some interesting and unique traits that differ it from similar books in the genre. I see a lot of potential when the characters develop and start to really finalize their builds.

Amazing performance by paul, he really makes the characters come alive.

Perfect book for listeners that love a long book with good fights and a thinking smart mc

Author has flexed many of the classic elements of the genre, with an interesting and varied levelling system. Overall, it is an easy listen with clear and steady character progression.

It would be good if there was some more purposeful grinding and power leveling. However, the mc desire to be part of a team is a nice deviation from the solo leveling style that can dominat the genre.

I would not recommend this book. keeps going on about skills and abilities. and explaining and explaining and explaining. after 2 hours there is still no real story. but I gotta give some props to the author, it cannot be easy to find a new way to repeat what he just wrote to every 5 minutes. the performance are ok. not good not bad just neutral..

gave up after 2 hours

Lots of ideas that could be interesting, but none of them get anywhere close to there, this isnt generic. But it doesn't do anything at all well either.

Incredibly bland

All the standard tropes wrapped up in prose trying to be good but just ending up purple. The MC is called Edge so at least it wears its lack of self awareness on its sleeve. The world building does not hold up to scrutiny. Frankly if you've been in the LitRPG / webnovel / manhwa space for any amount of time, you have seen all this before and better.

Cringe Eater.
