Austin Beck
38 books44 followersI am Beck, Austin Beck. Ok, that was lame. I am Austin, and I love litrpg, gamelit, harem, wuxia, and xianxia! My first novel, Mixed Martial Cultivator: Round One, combines all of these genres together. I write books that are action-packed in more ways than one. They do have graphic depictions of the naughty nature, so you have been warned. If you are kind enough to read my novels...PLEASE leave a review for me. They are so important for new authors like me! Thank you for checking my novels out. Happy Reading!

Pretty sure this is AI edited… heavily.
The entire book read like a dry drama. Every paragraph was written like it held the entire storyline at knifepoint. Got monotonous quickly. Lots of short 3-4 word sentences that were constantly. Making. A point.
The plot itself was interesting. Still not sure if I’m willing to try book 2.

Very serious. Very short sentences. Much repetition. Awkward conversations. I guess it's not really for me. I liked the premise, but the damn prose brought artificial drama. It tried to put too much emphasis on literally everything, like eating breakfast, repeating the words for extra effect that falls completely flat. It was very tiresome after a couple chapters.
It's set in a realistic medieval world where only a few people have System Classes, and they're very wealthy and powerful. And level 30 is super high but our MC arrived at that level the moment he... arrived. The way it's always told is a very terse conversation with the locals, like "Thirty?" "Yeah." "That's a lot." "Yeah." "Be careful." "Yeah." And so on and so forth.
I liked the characters at least, just wish the rest of it didn't bother me so much.

This book was pretty good, but not great.
The MC is a paramedic on Earth with 15yrs under his belt when while driving home, saves some woman in the street that's been hurt in an accident, and gets truck-kun'ed. A god brings his spirit around and asks if he'd be willing to be a healer on another world where there are humans, elves, and beastkin. The beastkin are treated as secondary citizens, and healers won't help them because they are viewed as more animals who should see a veterinarian. He finally agrees ,and wakes up in another world. He heals an elf that was the victim of a robbery, and follows that man to the nearest town. There, he sets up at an inn, registers as a healer, and heals an old beastkin with a chronically bad back. Thus begins his reputation as the only healer that will help beastkin.
There is one definite LI, one very interested, and a casual lover the MC has had a solo and threesome encounter with. The one definite one is one of his party members, and they elect to bond permanently (at least for her, though he states it's permanent for him in his mind) after the first time they have sex. He'd already had sex with the casual lover by that point, a waitress/cook at the inn he's staying at, who doesn't want strings. I'm not sure if she will become a LI, or is just someone else for the MC to have sex scenes with to keep things heated for the reader.
The medical side of things was really well done, with accurate descriptions of injuries and what is wrong inside the body. That was really refreshing, especially since the author's "Reborn as a Fire Mage" basically made a complete moron at being a firefighter out to be a heroic one. That made the story really gritty at times in a good way.
Sadly, the MC is fairly taciturn. Verbose he is not. Many of his sentences spoken feel like the words were pulled out of him reluctantly. There is no witty dialogue on his part, and it would be weird that some of the beastkin women are so attracted to him, except that he's performing what at basically miracles on other beastkin when he heals them. And that's the major reason I don't give this book 5 stars. The MC just wasn't fun to read about, and the whole "Humans/Elves feel like beastkin are not worthy of being treated like people" thing is an annoying trope to read.
I will read a sequel, just to see how things shake out.

Good read. Small gripes.
The writing is done very well. Very well constructed and descriptive scenes.
Two pet peves.
First, while the writing was very good, the MC feels a bit off, like we are in his head and he talks to himself in third person (thats not how it is written, but it sometimes feels like that with the MC).
Second, any time a character is described,, the descriptions are lacking. Descriptions of actions and environments are wonderful, but with character descriptions, you are left with an incomplete picture.
Other descriptions were done so well, that the character descriptions being lacking almost feels like a deliberate choice, but only frustrates the reader, as I would stop and reread to try to picture characters and could not do so. Breaking the story flow and introducing unneeded frustration.
Example, one character is in a hood and is never fully described, just that they had "feather patterns" on their skin going into the hood. Then almost no description for chapters when they are around and then it just drops the description "raven-kin" once, so quick you can miss it. So the whole time my brain is asking what she is and what she looks like, and the mystery is only partially solved with a throwaway "ravin-kin" in the middle of a scene, with no acknowledgement that we now know what she is.
I look at someone when I talk to them, I want to know what the characters look like, or at least an analogous example from the MC and my shared knowledgespace(earth).

Better Than Expected
I came in expecting the usual harem elements and gratuitous spicy scenes vaguely associated with something that could be called a "plot" if you squint really hard while looking into the sun.
Instead I got something with some actual bones and some meat to it. I got a story that's got some repetition to it, but that's honest and refreshingly coherent. Yes, the editor could use some coaching and yes there are two minor contradictions, but the story is actually pretty darn good.
Weirdly, I kept getting a "spaghetti western" vibe and found myself offended at how quickly we got to the end of Book One. Hopefully this isn't like a few of the other books by this author where no sequel ever happens. I'll be pissed if it is because this one is genuinely GOOD.

AI Garbage
This book fits the bill for something written by AI or with AI assistance. Lots of inane observations and nonsensical filler. The dialog is nonexistent. Nearly everything anyone says is only 3 or 4 words long. Conversations consist of about 5 lines. I will say that its slightly better than the other AI slop I've come across but even a mediocre book written by a real author is better than this. I'm honestly baffled by how books like this get so many positive reviews. I can only assume most people who know what it is don't finish it and don't review it. If you know what AI trash looks like and aren't a fan then don't bother with this one.

Enjoyed most of the book. The world building was good. Having most humans and elves being bigots seems normal. Elves are always portrayed as a little bigoted and humans well just look at the world around you.
The fact that the beastkin have excepted being doormats is a little strange to me. But I can live with it. The fact that outworlders are known but rare is also good. The fact that he only has 2 lovers and the sex scenes aren’t pure teenage boy fantasy is a bit of a pleasant surprise.
I’m actually looking forward to the next book. I’m just wondering why the healers guild is bothering with him.
He’s an outworlder in a frontier town. Wouldn’t it be better to leave him alone?

Former paramedic here, I’d put this at a strong 4.5 stars. Smut was present but not overdone.
Some of the information like when the mc talks about the scar on his thumb twice in two paragraphs very similarly makes me wonder if this was ai or if the author just really enjoyed the line and accidentally put it in twice during the editing.
Lost the half star for me because Parts of the story hinge on the MCs involvement with the healers guild, there were numerous negatives, and no real positives to being a part of the guild… why not just renounce membership?

The book started off strong and had me interested in the story. Unfortunately, around the midpoint, the writing took a noticeable turn. The story began to feel heavily influenced by AI, and the quality and flow suffered because of it. From that point on, the book became increasingly difficult to read, and the story lost much of the appeal it had in the beginning.
Overall, the book needed more of the author's own voice and creativity and less reliance on AI. What started as a promising story took a sharp nosedive halfway through, which was disappointing.

Perhaps the best Austin Beck book I have read
The first thing you notice about the book is the detail. The MC feels like a paramedic and after his rebirth, he still feels like someone who dealt with health issues a long time. It is darker toned than many books I have read from this author. The prose alone elevates it above 90% of the KU books out there. If he continues writing this well, I will have to think about buying the series.

Truly enjoyed the adventure
I'll be the first to admit, that I normally am drawn towards more explicit smut based harem lit series, (yes it was the cover art that really drew me in on this one). But once I started reading, I really enjoyed the plot, the characters and the whole story line. Can't wait for book 2 to come out, from me immediately going into reading the next book in the series is the highest praise I can give an author.

100% AI slop
I made it 9% into this book and was done. The conversations made no sense, words were constantly used that didn’t fit the situation, and the writing was just disjointed and janky. If this isn’t AI written I will eat my phone!
Example: MC comes across a horse that’s been killed, its throat was cut and he says it was cut right in the vessel. Like wtf?!? What vessel? Authors like this should be banned from KU

An intriguing story
The premise is sound, the set up is clear. Its been done dozens of times but this ine gives it a harsher flavor of an expert triage paramedic doing the oath justice. Can't wait to see how his abilities will continue to grow. Was sad about the fox, praying she returns cause he needs a snuggly fox.

Not bad
At least the MC wasn't a self absorbed are and idiot like most the the authors other books. it took a while to get going and I actually like the reincarnation set up at the beginning. The plot is straight forward but the bad guys are evil as a plot device and not really explained other than they are racist. I'll give the next one a try

More of an observation than a critique
Its actually a pretty good story, but it's written like a technical manual.
He walked in. Blonde woman with curls. He watched her take a drink. Yellow liquid in the cup. She gulped it down. He walked on and sat down. (This is an example)
It needs to have smoother transitions and less punctuation.

Good but too wordy
Overall a good story. I will buy the sequel. Lost a star due to being too wordy. The characters are flat. Two Dimensional. The writer uses a sort of dry humor in his story Which is why I say the characters are very 2 dimensional there's not much substance to them.

Decent but...
The book was decent. The content was decent. Nothing over the top. There seems to be a lot more of these. AI generated or enhanced. Too many books by different authors with the same prose
And same expressions. "the shape of it". Still, I somewhat enjoyable. Read, though, reading all the same kind of content does get old.

very fun read
Fun read. Good story. This was well written and edited and a pleasure to read. No AI slop detected. It’s getting harder and harder to find non slop stories. Thank you.

Great read
Read it within a day, could barley put it down to eat or do chores. Can't wait to read the next book in the series!! I hope I don't have to wait too long this is the first book I've read by this author so I don't know how long his writing and editing will take.

Very interesting premise which stays good throughout the story. The harem was actually reasonable too. Which was very nice. Epilogue needs a little work but overall well done.

Brilliant
Really enjoyed this book. Looking forward to the next one in the series. Really readable. Highly recommended. The base story is developing well and draws you in. Love the main character. And all the other characters the team dynamics are very cohesive.

Yet another AI book
Don't waste your time. The premise of the story is interesting but it's another badly written AI book.... To the "author": if you're going to use AI, at least use a good one... Enough said.

I binged this in less than a day, it was a fi. Setup to what seems to be a really fun story.

slopper book
Reads like every other ai slopper book out there.
Same cadence, rhythm and structure.
Could have been good if it wasn’t stolen regurgitated garbage.

Pretty great
A brilliantly balanced blend of litRPG, medic-drama, and spice. Worth a read if the first and third appeal to you and you’re unsure about the second.

extremely good
Honestly, I didn’t have high expectations for this book. Just thought I’d read it in between other books, but it was fantastic. Extremely good. very hard to put down.

A good introductory book in this new series with plenty of magic, mystery, drama, horror, supernatural, violence, and romance. Eager for next book.
