Split Champion Book One: Unchained Oaths
The Integration is coming. Jace has five years to stop Earth’s total annihilation.
As a twenty-one-year-old farmhand from Earth, Jace was never going to amount to much. But now, he has a stay on Earth and wait for an approaching apocalypse, or become a champion and travel to a new galaxy, where he’ll have to prove his worth in a realm of dungeons, loot, and magic card powered spaceships. If he can't secure Earth a place in the wider universe, the coming apocalypse will reduce his homeworld to a barren, resource-stripped wasteland.
A sensible person might take things slow, but as soon as Jace arrives, he absorbs a starship’s hypercore. Going slow isn’t exactly on the table when you have hyperspace magic, and he’ll need to be fast if he wants to survive everything this new world can throw at him.
With each kill, he gets a little faster and a little stronger, but with the way the galaxy is heading, it might not be enough to make a difference—here or back home.
Read the start of a sci-fi and space fantasy LitRPG adventure, blending apocalypse and isekai, and using a cultivation-focussed system. Perfect for fans of Path of Ascension, Welcome to the Multiverse, and All the Skills.

not good
I’m not sure what to say here. It starts off as an unholy marriage of three different genres. The author tries very hard to miss mash things to give a unique flare but it just doesn’t work.
It’s heavily inspired by the hero’s journey motifs in the beginning. Sprinkle in magic sword that’s is basically a light Sabre. A manic system that basically robs pieces and parts from established magic systems but doesn’t really make sense and you have this book.
I didn’t hate it but I only finished because I don’t like quitting.

Wow! Soooooooo friggintastic! Getting this book was an absolute no brainer! I discovered Felix Taylor while reading Fate Alchemist on Royal Road and because I absodamnlutely love deck-building litRPG's, I just had to read this one. And now I've been simultaneously reading Fate Alchemist 2. Wow! So much fun twice the book's one brilliant author!!!
And Jace is an awesome MC. After being ripped from earth, he finds himself in a whole new world. A world where magic, and monsters, and spell cards reside. If you can imagine a Steampunked Star Wars and a High Fantasy novel had a Ménage à trois with a Deck-building litRPG you'd find this to be the culmination of their tryst. Jace as a worldjumper is now working with a team a candlefolk female Lessa, and a Wielder/Mage Kinfild. Kinfild flies the starship Luna Wrath, think Millennium Falcon only with a smokestack and fueled by starcoal. And the three of them are off to stop a war! All Jace has to do is level to become stronger, with only one card socketed, an illegal one I might add, well good luck with that. But everyone has to start somewhere! Right, right!
So go ahead and grab this action-driven litRPG.
Here's a couple of quotes for ya:
"They crept up along the shore, holding a herd of cat-sized bees on leashes, almost like a bundle of balloons."
“Aur-Six, you fool of a kyborg!”

not bad, but not great
Overall, it wasn’t a bad story, but it wasn’t a great story. Most times it felt like the story was on a pretty straight trajectory almost as if it was a classic RPG quest on rails. Add to that the difficulty with buying into the MCs motivation…he has to save Earth, but he doesn’t seem especially patriotic or empathetic. It feels like he’s doing it because it is expected more than anything. This is a bit of an emotional disconnect for me as a reader. Not sure if I will read more, but at the moment it seems unlikely.

5 seconds?
In order to use an ability to protagonist has to become calm wait 5 seconds it manifests as a card in front of him which he then has to crush with his hand... What?! No.

Jace is a bit of a downer and his story is depressing.
