About this listen

500 years ago, the Evolution System descended on Earth, and the world ended. Facing a transforming world, terrifying monsters and a new race of hostile elves, humans had no choice but to fight back with Awakened magic powers.

For Imani, a young and ambitious Awakened, the world of magic and skills is all he’s ever known. Trapped in the walls of an isolated, overpopulated town with dwindling resources, he’s taught that survival means following rules. However, by putting his life on the line and defying one of those rules, Imani is granted a rare reward: a Settlement Stone.

Unfortunately, building a new settlement in the middle of an uncharted forest is no easy task. The woods are filled with evolved monsters, hidden dungeons, and danger. Worse still, the nearby land is claimed by a powerful, savage tribe of elven warriors, led by a queen as ruthless as she is mysterious.

To prevail, Imani must grow stronger, build a stable settlement, clear nearby dungeons, and find resources, all while defending his new home from humans, elves, monsters, and even a deadly siege.

overall I enjoyed the story and it's premise, the only real problem I have is with the mc. He is the most annoying character in the story, not only does he leave people who repeatedly try to kill him alive but he never makes a calm choice throughout the story despite it basically being part of his powers, and instead of getting all the facts before deciding on something he'll just impulsively do something that could ruin everything for both friend and his family.

it's alright

enjoyed the Story, which was quite engaging...
BUT the Narration took ALOT of getting used to, with the "long" pauses between each sentence... i dont normally change narration speed... but i felt forced to increase it for this one, to decrease the pauses, and slow reading.

i am looking forward to book 2, but strongly considering only reading it as an e-book

I had to stop listening. What’s annoying is that when he is doing to voices for the characters, he’s actually not bad at all, it’s just when he is narrating the actual story he becomes this monotonous mess.

He can be describing what are supposed to be adrenaline fuelled combat sequences but he reads it with the exact same tone and cadence as when he is describing the materials needed to construct a lumber mill and it is infuriating.

There is no energy behind it, no sense of urgency during a fight or relief at having won a hard battle and it really does take so much away from the story that it’s honestly quite sad because I do think there is a decent one here.

The narration is terrible
