Void Sovereign: A LitRPG Apocalypse

Rate this book
An action-packed apocalypse LitRPG about a feral survivalist who defies the System to live on his own terms.

Aenon abandoned humanity long before the world ended.

Deep in the wilderness, he survives by patience, discipline, and the certainty that weakness carries a price. While others cling to fragile comforts, Aenon has already learned to endure a world that gives nothing for free.

Then the System descends, and the world is dragged into a multiverse of monsters, magic, and trials.

Classes awaken. Power can be earned. Death comes easily.

Where others see danger, Aenon sees opportunity, a chance to seize his freedom even if that path awakens powers once feared enough to erase entire civilizations.

But first, he must survive the System’s tutorial.

Perfect for fans of Defiance of the Fall, The Primal Hunter, and He Who Fights With Monsters.

out of touch

This book has no storyline and no direction. The mc is thirteen years old, and was living in the woods, but has the mind of a 30 year old. Being so young already brings me out of the realm of believing in the story and it just gets worse from there.
The world is brought into a tutorial that’s lasts all of two paragraphs because it doesn’t go anywhere and the person on watch falls in love with the mc because, ah yes 13 is an adult on her world…
Stats don’t matter and neither do skills because he can just max out whenever and also learn whatever. I read ahead of book one and it just gets worse, no need to waste your time on this book.

Psychopath MC

Didn't even get 2 chapters in. I don't know why people like edge lord psychopaths as a MC. Couldn't care less what happens after he attacks a group disproportionate to what they did. They weren't bad people try to hurt him. Edge lords only care about themselves and that's not someone I care to read about.

Immature revenge fantasy

This is truly bad writing. The premise wasn’t bad until the main character opened his mouth. Everything after that was downhill. Overpowered main character doesn’t even begin to describe it, and every character’s personality is an incredibly shallow facsimile of a teenager no matter their age.

Has potential but more like 2.5

Some good ideas but the execution was a bit stilted. Some grammar and spelling areas. Some nice concepts but just ended a good editor to restructure some of the story flow that was jarring.

Well written

The scenes has a nice flow to them, with each character having a distinct voice. Overrall, i enjoyed my read.

(This part is not really important but i feel like i had to write because i curious if im the only who feels this way)
The only note i would have for author is that the age of the mc doesnt mesh with the way he is written. It's waved off as the character having experienced some deeply disturbing trauma and yes that does lead to independance but the internal dialogue, the maturity, and fullness of thought doesnt match up with a 13 year old, maybe a 16 or 17 year old. The aging up of the characters would also make the topic of the courting and the mc not be ready for a relationship feel less icky. The story feels like its a YA aimed at 15y/o the ages in the book a just a bit jarring.

Slow Burn with Unexpected turns

One has to give the whole book a read before judging it. Spent the first half liking a lot of it but hating a few characters and hating the way the story was going. Without spoiling, just have to say that there are many different turns that make the story go in interesting directions. What started to seem like a teenage romance novel turn into something else as it got deeper into it.

All I can say is if you start to get annoyed or disinterested in the book's path, then to keep with it to the end. It is a good story with system integration power progression focus.

I'd say if you like how the MC is at the very start of the book then hold strong for thats how the MC is throughout even during moments of oddities.

This is one of the best series in years from a brand new author. Truly I can't praise this book enough. It is so different from how many other similar books starts. Then we have the MC, let me tell you this is one unique personality he has and I love it! The plot was amazing, the pacing was great, the world building was on point without a bunch of info dumps that just stretch the word count of the book. Nope none of that. Also unlike authors whos books feel like they where written by an A.I this was very much creative and fluid writing and great editing that got you really invested in the characters.

I can recommend this book enough to anyone who is a fan of any of the following sub genres: System, Litrpg, Weak to strong MC, Post-Apocalypse and Monster Fighting.

An entertaining read, though uneven in places. The gamelit elements are leaned into heavily, which is effective but at times at the cost of immersion. The biggest stumbling block is the 13-year-old MC because his ruthlessness and worldliness feel unearned without real-life experience behind them, relying too much on plot armor to justify his depth. That said, this stands well above the genre's average, and the author shows genuine promise. I'll be continuing the series.

This is an idea for a main character that the writing fails to maintain. The background does not match the character, the stats are inflated and meaningless. The book is meant to be crunchy but no one had stats listed except for the MC. This makes them meaningless with no direct comparison. Everyone is self serving so there is no sense of connection with anyone. Characters are brought in and leave just as quickly also leaving a disconnect. Bad writing on multiple levels.

Note to self: It's fine, maybe slightly above average. Oh, and the elf woman is very annoying; I really hope she either isn't there anymore or gets an attitude adjustment.

You know that meme that goes "hey, can I copy your homework? Sure, just change it a little bit?" Like that, but with the Primal Hunter series.

Good, the MC is kind of a Mary Sue, and a bit of an edge lord (specially when he names things) but I still like him. I felt the book was missing the part of a book where the OP MC shows off his OPness, he does kind of do that, but it felt less fun since all the viewers were had godlike powers compared to him. Looking forward to the next.

Awesome

This was an awesome read. It wouldn't be a stretch to say this was one of my favorite books this year.

Do yourself a favor and give this one a chance.

Highly recommended.

worth the read

A great first book. Lives the action and the magic. Interesting little twist in how the system works in this book. I had to deduct a star bc of the main characters and really paying the mature for his age theme. Other than that. Chefs kiss

Surprisingly good and east read. Reminds me a lot of Primal Hunter in feel, which is always a good sign.

Did initially feel like things were moving too fast between the MC and Arbiter, but the twist made it even better.

Looking forward to future books in the series, would definitely recommend.

Happily Surprised

I really thought this would be yet another cookie cutter story with probable AI use. So glad to be wrong. This story has depth, the plotting makes sense, and the characters are complex. All of them. No two or one dimensional side characters. It's good.

OP MC

MC is mostly OP. If the plot had stayed on the local planet it could have worked a bit better but towards the back end of book 1 the story seemed to lose its way.

Amazing read

I have read many LitRPG books. This is easily a top 5 book. I really like the unique concept that earth was seeded with the idea for the games resembling the system.
