About this listen

A town put to the sword. The young forcibly recruited. An old man out for revenge.

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.

I like reading fantasy books and looked forward to this one. As a story line it sounded good and mostly was. But my biggest gripe was the amount of time spent on explaining corruption and essence. Way too much and at one point I contemplated giving up. I'm glad I didn't though as on a whole I enjoyed the story. I am ready to read the next instalment.

Enjoyable but slow to move on with the story.

I liked this better than the completionist chronicles. great new MC and the new Narrator Travis Baldree is fantastic way better than Luke Daniels and I prefer him to Vikas Adams too which was a pleasant surprise for me as I was disappointed Adam’s wasn't narrating the other series anymore.

Really good

Dennis might be my new second favourite author.

I loved the whole story, I found it amazing how a character that was only briefly used in the dungeon born series. Got so much development as a character, I see him in a new light now and can't wait to read or listen to the series with new vigour.

amazing

what can I say about this novel?

I started it not expecting much as the blurb was vague, but within the first couple of minutes I was hooked. I listened as the story unfolded with the calm deliberate patience of an old man weaving a fascinating tale of intrigue.

By part 2 I was finding any excuse to listen to it and finished it far too soon. I look forward to the next one!

A slow burner with a brilliant ending.

The premise for this book almost feels like a fantasy novel's take on those old action movies where the former military person is pushed too far and comes back out of retirement for the sake of vengeance, but it takes this basic idea in a number of interesting ways over the course of this book.

It is also worth noting that while this book is tagged as being 'a divine dungeon series' it is very much a book that you could happily jump into, whether you have read any of those books or not, your enjoyment will come from this character's journey through adversary.

One issue you encounter in litrpg quite often is the main character being given an overpowered or unique skil/class that gives them too much of an advantage and that happens in this case too, but it is given a subtle little twist that it is basically just giving the main character a level playing field due to his age and lack of health at the start of the book.

The narrator does a very good job of helping to bring this book and the characters to life, enhancing the characters and ensuring the more complicated parts are clearly communicated tot he listener too.

Overall, an entertaining start to this series and I will be looking forward to subsequent instalments.

Big fan of Dakota's Divine Dungeon Universe, but co author Dennis and narrator Travis are new to me. I will be checking both out again. superbly written and narrated and a worthy addition to the universe.

this book is fun but moves at its own pace, there is a lot of world building and it has one of the most fun characters i have ever came across.

a must read if you have read the other series

I loved everything about this book. From the background of the MC, to his unorthodox growth, zero-to-hero-to-zero again-back to hero!

The story flowed so well, that you felt invested through it all.

Not to mention Travis. Travis gave so much life to the characters! He did an an absolutely amazing job.

I highly recommend this book!

What an amazing story
