Acerca de esta escucha
In the quest to save my life, I delved into unnatural powers and changed myself utterly.
I mastered new forms of Magic and discovered others. I expanded my knowledge, learned, and grew; both as a Magician and a man.
It wasn't enough. All I managed to do was to buy myself some time, and now that time is running out.
My brother has fought me every step of the way. He even murdered my one hope of a cure, and in his demented desire to finish the job, went digging into mysteries he had no business with.
Now, he's been taken. Body and soul possessed by the first conqueror, the monster who destroyed mankind's first stab at complex civilization.
Desmond was dangerous when he was simply the First Shadow. An idiot with power is still lethal. Now, he has the power of an Archon coupled with the ability and intellect of the very first Black Magician.
I couldn't stop him before. What the hell am I going to do now?

Historia
My twin brother is a Wizard and thinks he's the only magician in the family. It's actually a little funny that he hasn't suspected anything different over the last 17 years - with my constantly need to keep his idiot face out of danger and stupidity - but that's not today's problem. You see, someone's trying to kill him.

Historia
Bernt might have graduated from the Mage Academy, but not everyone has the money or connections to launch a prestigious career as a mage. Bernt finds himself working in the city sewers as an Underkeeper among the other rejects of Halfbridge's magery. He may spend more time unclogging pipes than fighting monsters, but hey, it's a stable job, and that's what counts. With the help of his unregistered soul-devouring demonic familiar, he'll save enough to launch his career as an adventurer—just as soon as he can afford some proper gear.

Historia
I had lain down in my crypt to rest for a few decades, but when I awoke, centuries had passed. My castle is in ruins, my clan is gone, and necromancers are considered just a fairy tale for children. They take me for a healer. That's because the world is sick. And it's time for strong medicine.

I was a Hunter, and I honored the Code. For my services to humanity and for leading a "proper" life, I was to be rewarded. A new life after death, and a new world to give me some well-deserved rest. But something went wrong. Once again, I must fight. The Monsters that face me here are far more terrifying than those of my past life. They are cleverer, crueler, more unpredictable. And their name is.

Jiran is just a child when he receives shattered, imperfect memories of a past life. Nestled inside these emotionless visions is a magic very different to the density and mana he knows, the magic of science. The empire stands alone against the relentless beasts of Madra. Their only means of survival is harnessing the density that saturates her surface, a magic they cannot possibly understand. Will Jiran realize he holds the key to unlocking humanity's infinite potential before they are all wiped out?

Maximilian is the last of the noble Valevsky lineage. His entire family was put to death for an alleged attempt on the powerful Duke of Odoevsky, who had his eye set on the Valevsky's land. The young man managed to avoid execution, but not punishment. From here on out, he's condemned to life as a doomed soldier. The front line in the fight against the dark god Skron's mutated creatures. "Do or die"—that's the doomer motto that has been drilled into the last of the Valevsky's head. The Duke took everything from him but his honor and a thirst for revenge.

Historia
Humans have been pushed to the brink of extinction by an ever-evolving demonic threat. Portals are opening faster than ever, Towers are bursting into the skies, and Dungeons are being mined below the last safe havens of society. The demons are winning. Quest Academy stands defiantly against them as a place to train the next generation of Heroes. The Guild Association is holding the line but is in dire need of new blood and the powerful abilities they could bring to the battlefront. To be the saviors that humanity needs, they need to surpass the limits of those that came before them.

I was the Rift Magus—master of space and time, protector of worlds. For decades, I defended my realm with unmatched power. But when an unspeakable creature threatened everything I held dear, I was forced to create a rift to nowhere—a trap designed to seal it away for all time. It worked, but the creature was not without power itself.

Where others were sure to fail, Jack's aristocratic clientele could always count on him to finish jobs cleanly, efficiently, and leave no trace, for which his services commanded a hefty fee.

I expected aging out of the foster care system to be hard. I wasn't expecting it to include finding out I was a Warlock, destined to be hunted by the most powerful Witch Families so they could bind me to a coven of thirteen witches and spend the rest of my life "harvesting mana". Add to that a set of magical resonants that made me an even bigger target to some of those Witch Families, some of which would rather kill me than let a rival get me.

But I failed to account for one thing: during the course of my long life, I'd accumulated too many enemies, and they had decided to spoil my retirement. So they died along with me. And I hope their deaths were final. But mine was not!

Previously harmless animals are changed to nightmare threats and people are dying, seemingly due to incidents related directly to their interests.

good progression
This is a pretty good series that improves as it goes on. I have to admit, early in the series I had a terrible feeling it may turn into a harem novel. I'm relieved to say that it did not go that (way which is usually a cheap save for a bad series when the author runs out of ideas). Instead, it shows good character development and many layers of world building.

Brilliant series ruined by grimdark.
This series has always tried to walk a line between situations with world ending levels of danger/challenge, and light hearted, coming of age slice of life story telling. In part this was supported by an MC with a boundlessly positive world view (and a bit too much deference to the women in his life).
It seems that the author has lost sight of this balance. The book starts with the MC's powers destroyed, and the knowledge that they are dying and will be dead in a few months. It only goes downhill from there. His support is lost. His reputation is destroyed. His body is damaged in ways that are visible and incurable (even with magic). The situation is so dire, that no rational person could assume there would be a positive outcome.
At the half-way mark, it appears that the possibilities for the end of the story are either the MC will lose, ending the series with the moral that no matter how powerful, heroes die. Or the ending will be so pyrrhic that it will make Frodo leaving for the gray havens, seem humorous.
I get the feeling that the author intended this to be the grand finale for the series but in an effort to go out with a bang, they have ruined the thing that made the series great: The MC could keep their positive world view because they *experienced* some of that positivity at least some of the time. In this book, it's soul crushing sadness all the way down. The MC's positivity is absolutely jarring in the face of the situations they are placed in, to the point that it just comes across as self-deception.
I am seriously considering just stopping now.
Update: I fought through to the end, and although things do turn around for the MC, the level of Deus ex machina it took to get them there, was beyond ludicrous.

Repetitiveness
Love the series but there a point were nothing goes your way then it get so old with out a win or something going your way - Seem to go back to same old - I can’t do anything - I going to die anyway - same fight with same group but can’t seem to get any closer to finding them - just seem to be repeating the same problem and fight over and over with out resolve or just more and more problems - at a point just seems to get to much and hard to listen too - about to just jump a head to see if gets better
