A town put to the sword. The young forcibly recruited. An old man out for revenge.
The first three books in the Artorian's Archives series, over 1,000 pages of cultivation adventure!
After his town is put to the sword and the children are taken to replace the fallen, an old man is out for revenge. He’s ready to fail at the most difficult challenge in the world: cultivation.
Too corrupted to even take the first steps, the sly old elder simply agreed with those who told him that it was impossible. Then he quietly ignored them, rubbed his hands together, and started anyway. He had always failed in what he did: he lost his way from the academy, his command was devastated by a Mage, he lost his town, and now his last hopes for the future had been stolen by a group of raiders. The only thing that had never failed him was his sharp mind and philosophy. He would cultivate... no matter what it cost him.
A lifetime of failure can dull and dampen a soul. A reason to live, a goal, can change that in an instant. It is always darkest just before the dawn.
If you enjoy cultivation novels, Divine Dungeon, or Completionist Chronicles, then pick this series up! It is so worth checking out and their are a lot of lore dumps for Divine Dungeon
The parts that have action are great. Unfortunately, they are balanced with long discourses on cultivation. While intriguing in small doses, it came become a bit of a slog.
Fantastic cast of characters with great personalities and growth. Story starts slow, and has long ramp ups to some immense climaxes. Much more in-depth than others in the connected universe
Wow 🤩 this Book is just Amazing, Artorian is just such an amazing character and his story is just simply epic, this Book is the warm blanket you need on a Cold Rainy Night!!
One nice thing about this book is it's not a lot of reading of stats. I didn't like the sudden start but I stuck with it and I figured it out. I ended up enjoying it. I don't understand how they could make 22 books of content, Artorian seems pretty awesome already, but maybe I'll buy the second omnibus later.
Nicely put together if the first three books of the series that to date is at 9 books. Worth picking up if your interested in this universe created by Dakota Krout.
