The Elemental Accords. A tournament that Earth has been chosen to take part in whether they want to or not. As a result, the entire planet is now a giant game. With people gaining access to skills and levels. For most, this is nothing short of a nightmare. For others, it is their chance to grab everything and claim the world as their own. Aurum Lockfeather, named after the golden substance has been chosen as a champion by one of the many gods taking part in the tournament. First, he just has to survive the week with monsters of all shapes and sizes popping out from every hole in the city. Let's not even mention the dungeons, giant behemoths, and fallen gods.With his desire being turned into his power, will he come out on top or will another claim the glory?
Is this the same author? How are they getting worse?
I don't know how, but each series that covers out is progressively worse. Dungeon robotics was good... At least the first 4 or 5 were. Dungeon analytics was better... Darker remakes usually are. Everything since then had been a gradual down hill progression. I had hoped the station 64 series was a fluke.... Nope. This book is pretty rough and reads like an amateur's first attempt at self insert fantasy for puritan beta types. Unless you think fedoras are cool, this read is a hard pass. The story and tone of the book are very juvenile despite the common violence. Speaking of violence, it clashes very heavily with the extremely awkward and cringe dialogue between the white knight brainless MC and the Japanese damsel in distress that immediately tattoos herself to him. It's pretty bad... I wouldn't be surprised to see this kind of story in some sheltered middle school boy's journal.
3.5 for this one. Nothing really wrong with it, it just didn't "wow" me. I can't quite decide if the MC is OP or not, but that's probably a good thing. Painfully OP would be boring, and under-powered, well, he'd be dead. His perks though are ridiculous, so I think there are some story balance element that aren't quite right. That would explain why I was underwhelmed without any glaring deficiencies. YMMV as always.
This is the first Harem-like series where the Harem part didn't annoy the hell out of me largely because it is downplayed, and the sex elements are few, short, and far between. This is a 3-book series (so far) and I've already burned through all 3 books so I'm in withdrawals now. So far all three books have been fun reads and I went on a trip and burned through them quickly. They make the time go by quickly, kept me engaged and not wanting to stop. In short, I'm looking forward to book #4!
My main problem with this book is the pacing, within an hour of the audiobook the MC is already over powered to the point of not even needing to move if he doesnt want to, and he keeps getting more and more over powered skills, if the power progression of the first hour had been spread out over the entirety of the first book it'd seem more reasonable
I love most of the books by this author and no surprise this is another great story! It has some issues that could use an editor to look over it, but it's not an actual problem. It's a unique system and an of collection of characters that work.
