About this listen

In the wake of a cosmic upheaval, Ruwen emerges as an angelic being, his newfound Divinity granting him not just wings, but a destiny intertwined with the fate of the universe. "The Ninth Harbinger" unfolds as a tale of gods and powers beyond comprehension, set against a backdrop where the fabric of reality itself is at stake.

After surviving a vicious onslaught by six deities, Ruwen inadvertently unleashes the System, a force constrained since the dawn of the universe. Now unshackled, the System alters the cosmic order, creating rifts leading to fragments of destroyed universes. These rifts, brimming with strange artifacts and untold powers, present a tantalizing yet perilous opportunity for those brave enough to explore them.

Amidst this chaos, the Harbinger quest emerges—a role laden with immense power, destined for only one. This is unwelcome news for Ruwen, who already carries the burden of restoring Spirit to the universe. The rifts provide a path for other deities to rapidly augment their powers, threatening the delicate equilibrium and placing Ruwen’s plans in jeopardy.

Torn between universe-threatening tasks and personal desires, Ruwen grapples with the consequences of his choices. One friend lies unconscious, critically injured by Ruwen’s actions, while another mysteriously disappears from the battlefield, clutching the sword that pierced her body.

Among these critical priorities, Ruwen must lead. To survive seemingly unending conflict, the country requires sweeping changes, including guilds, multi-classing, and a merit system. Ambitious town-building projects are set to reshape the country’s cities into defendable fortresses.

When the inevitable attack arrives, Ruwen's decision to spring an obvious trap in order to save a friend leads to catastrophic consequences, threatening his friends, his allies, and potentially hurtling the universe toward ultimate destruction.

"The Ninth Harbinger" follows Ruwen, a Divine Apostasy, in his relentless pursuit of balance in a universe teetering on the brink of annihilation.

It didn't feel like a lot happened in this book but it sets up the rest of the series perfectly. I can't wait for the next book.

Great setup for the rest of the series

to think that book 10~ still delivers tons of Easter eggs, fun story and new characters is unbelievable to me. it just keeps on going strong on all the things that make the series exciting.

impressive

I still enjoy the story, the characters and most of the system in this book series.
But the amount of unnecessary stat crunching is getting ridiculous... It's always been a pretty crunchy series, which is fine, but it's getting to a point where it's getting out of hand.
Add to that the fact that the number of different power systems the author keeps throwing into the story is making the system and the story even more crunchy and way too convoluted too keep track of it all.

I haven't given up on the story yet, but I'm beginning to loose hope considering the series current direction and tendencies.

Still a great story, but it's beginning to get too crunchy and convoluted for me...

waiting on 10th book is painful but I can appreciate good stories don't happen overnight

can't wait to see what happens with ash and the future of the series hope the 10th book is as good as this one

This series is starting to feel like a bit of a chore, I need to do this - I need to do that…constantly with not much storyline content. Feels like it’s losing much of its previous humour too. It does have great moments but they are far and few between. Not sure if I’ll continue with the series.

So much filler :(
