About this listen

One great series in a single offering!

Gain Levels, Defeat Monsters, Protect the Innocent.

Rico hungered for something more, eager for excitement. Fate led him to a goddess of opportunity. The divine teleports him to a planet filled with war, magic, and denizens of the deep.

Life... it has a way of smacking you in the face, eliciting that fight of flight emotion buried deep within. For Rico, he embraces the challenge, being blessed as a mage of the nine magics; a protector of the nine species. By crushing his enemies to gain riches and levels, he'll protect the downtrodden as a destined champion.

As the Shrezen assaults increase, can the Champion of Nuwa stem their advance and save the day?

A great setting, interesting characters, but this is not as good as some of the others from this author. the pacing of the book is off, with loads happening at first, threads raised that get abandoned, a fair bit of padding and then characters we're told will be important only to have them be disregarded or ignored a chapter later. it's like the inversion of Chekovs Gun.

the MC gains power but everything he does feels reactive, and the idea of an RPG tower defence gets abandoned and shown to be fairly useless early on. plans are made then discarded, and a lot of the wording and early dialogue feels very pondering and overly formal at times. characters elaborate and expound on things. later on there are some clear editing issues (Arachne becomes arcane, where words were missed, and the narrators mispronounce some words)

the scale of the threat feels crazy but there is a good plot reason for that. the sudden pivot in book 3 threw me a bit

what is consistently good are the romances and spice, the characters feel defined and interesting though there were some who felt like they were being set up that then didn't get followed through on, which was disappointing.

overall a pretty entertaining book that the author has used to improve their style. you can see the groundwork of ideas that get used in other stories and how they have expanded and refined their plots. worth a listen, but be ready to handle a lot of exposition and rapidly shifting plot points!

great performance, stilted story

Always left wanting more. Love the narration, love the characters and the love stories.True escapism and wishful thinking on my part.

The End

This was my 3rd David Burke series and unlike the other books, this series felt like a proper LitRPG game which made it different from the rest, in a good way. From the beginning and as the story progresses you get the feeling that you are actually playing a character in a LitRPG game and the narrative, stations, upgrades, weapons etc is a part of that game. The narrators Daniel W and Rebecca W are top notch as always and breathe life into the characters and make them interesting. Never a dull moment. But unlike the name Tower Mage, it becomes less and less about the towers as the story progresses. This was one of the author's earlier works with lesser erotica and more focus on gaming elements. But it seems like he decided to move onto another series, as the overall story seems a bit incomplete and ends in an abrupt manner without a proper conclusion.

A proper LitRPG

I believe this is a trilogy that will definitely appeal to the male audience. Didn't realise it was centred around a harem style as I avoid these and the reverse ones like the plague, it feels like an excuse to pad out a book with sex.
So the first two books were interesting and was looking forward to the last one. Well for an invasion of millions the battle seemed to last but a moment. They were meant to be hidden away for such a long time, we are talking years, but it seems that after 4 months they were heading back to the city they abandoned.
I am being vague as I don't want to spoil if for anyone still reading or about to start the series. Not a series for me!

Book 3 major let down

I’d like to like this but maaan, this book is basically very blatant male wish fulfilment for 17 year olds. The protagonist is slimy AF and the author’s male gaze rests over everything heavily. Ugh, not a good look.

Sexist and dumb
