Betrayed by the Hero's Party, I Summoned Their Replacements: A LitRPG Adventure
Betrayed by the supposed heroes, Reed refuses to waste his second chance at life.
Reed's summoning skill pulled a wooden chair during a boss fight.
A chair. It sat in the summoning circle while a level 35 dungeon guardian tried to cave his skull in. He used it as a shield. That's what [Random Summon] 98% garbage, 2% barely useful, and the reason the Hero's party kept him around as a punching bag instead of a teammate.
For two years, Reed took the beatings. The stolen loot. The healer who patched his bones but never asked who broke them. Then the Hero buried him alive in a collapsing dungeon and filed him as dead.
His skill evolved to Mythic.
Now [Random Summon] reaches into the sealed archives of the dead and pulls back legendary heroines from the moments before their deaths. They arrive wounded, dying, and more powerful than anything the living world has seen in centuries. Reed heals them. They give him their loyalty, their blades, and their bodies.
A Blade Saint who held a gate alone for six hours. A Stellar Warden assassinated by her own council. A Phantom who was burned alive for knowing too much.
The Hero's party threw him away. He summoned their replacements.
Now he's coming for every name on his list.

I really enjoyed this book, when I didn't think I would when I started it.
The MC is a man with the Summoner class at level 19, but his only skill generates random summons, and 98% of the time, his summons are farcical garbage. Summoning a chair during a boss fight. Sometimes summoning hostile creatures that attack him or his party. A party that is lead by the church proclaimed "hero". A hero that's more of a pompous jerk surrounded by mostly sycophants. The MC doesn't belong, but is kept around to be a punching bag of sorts. Then the hero's party betrays him and leaves him for dead. And while trapped deep in a dungeon is has no business surviving, his class skill evolves into a mythic level one. Which promptly summons a level 78 female Sword Saint. And thus starts his tale.
The LIs are somewhat interesting, but fairly mechanical at times. The Sword Saint is almost robotic in her behavior due to the nature of her class devotion to all things blades and their forms. The Stellar Warden (level 72) is more personable. The final LI he summons (a level 81 Phantom) isn't around long enough for any bond to form up, but it will come in the next book.
I liked the "revenge" plot the MC is working. He's dedicated himself to growing in all ways, both levels and skills. He still only has the 1 skill, but his martial proficiency and his ability to make command decisions is improving by leaps and bounds. And his former party leader is now the main antagonist, that the MC is quickly closing in on for levels. The machinations are interesting.
I look forward to book 2.

Way better than the last book from this Author
This book is a noticeable improvement, clear story, the characters could use a little more depth but considering 2 of the main characters are very no nonsense neutral people I think it fits well. The spice is well done and the relationships feels great. The action is well balanced and doesn't waste your time. I look forward to the next one.

Needs some serious editing
The story itself is pretty fun, but there are multiple times where information is mentioned by characters before the conversation that reveals it and other times you end up with three conversations that feel like they were copied and pasted from each other. The book has potential, but someone needs to read through it and get rid of all the plot holes and inconsistencies first.

could be good, but ai slop
Yet another ai slop story.
Author needs to go and find a tall cliff and hurl himself off of it.
Seriously Amazon, what the hell is going on here?

This is a fun little book. It is harem, so there is some spice.
Give this book a read if you are a fan or anime/ manga where the MC is betrayed and rises again.
Highly recommended.
