A Progression Fantasy LitRPG (Newly Summoned Demoness, Book 1)

De: Erios909

Narrado por: Hannah Schooner, Giancarlo Herrera

In a world where darkness lurks, one girl's fate will shatter centuries of stagnation.

Elania's life takes an unexpected turn when demon-worshiping cultists summon her to their world, aiming to revive their dead god. When their hated foe strikes, she escapes into Eladu's darkest depths.

Amidst savage predators and underground monsters, Elania discovers her newfound abilities are both a formidable ally and a haunting burden that threatens to reshape her very soul.

To climb higher towards civilization means she must contend with anti-demon sentiment and those who would use her as a source of arcane power. But Elania is not alone in her struggles.

Yolani, an arcane artificer, battles a sinister plot and finds her fate inexplicably linked to Elania's. Together, they might just be the key to each other's survival.

Only one thing is certain: Elania isn't going to give up who she is without a fight.

Ascent? More like, Dark Descent

I have to admit, I was initially worried as the story began, with the main character (Elania) appearing timid and reluctant to fight. Given the title "Demon," I was expecting a touch of darkness and sinister behavior, and thankfully, the story delivered. I wouldn't call the main character truly evil, but as she develops, she isn't afraid to do what needs to be done, and at times, she even enjoys it—which I found quite satisfying. It's all too common to see a dark character archetype that shies away from doing the necessary (evil) deeds. That said, the main character still tries to act the goodie-two-shoes, but this often ends with her consuming someone—or five. Additionally, the story introduces a girl-love theme later in the book, which might appeal to some readers and displease others. I, for one, am curious to see how Elania's relationship develops in Book 2.

Technical cat girl

Outside of the two stories in one that takes up 2/3 of the book, I love how we get a cat girl without having a cat girl 90% of the time, and a panther the other 10

Good first book

Very enjoyable story. Moved quickly with a lot of interesting moments and world building.
Definitely enjoyed the main characters and their allies.

Looking forward to seeing more.

Nice

If she ever comes back, she will write her story as an offer tun tun that was a nice touch

Enjoyable

The story does move rather quickly, which makes me somewhat curious how it will scale in future books. The two MCs' names are pretty similar, which can be harder to distinguish at higher speeds.

confusing names

Th MC and Artificer have very similar names and it's hard to tell who's who sometimes but overall the book was awesome.

A refreshing change with a female MC!

I had trouble getting into the story at first and the beginning is rough but it got my attention. I was glad I did! I really like the MC. Her drive to survive is amazing.
Then you get the secondary character who is also a lady. I enjoy her for the most part as well.
I didn’t really care for the feel of how the author portrayed the other characters though. Most of them seem pretty shallow. Lacking much development and substance. However, that might be on purpose…
The storytelling is enjoyable and the lore has me wanting to learn more of the past. I hope there were be greater world building in the next books.
The magic and progression was pretty basic so it is pretty easy to comprehend… while also still being interesting.

The narrator gave a good performance.

Good but should have ended earlier

Interesting world, interesting characters, drags on for an hour plus too long after main battle.

Good, but..

I forgot how much I dislike this narrator. No idea why really, I just find her voice annoying, I have to listen to it in short segments.

Lengthy book but not bad.

It took forever and i was going at 3.50 speed on audible. I found myself looking how far i had gotten every so often. Not bad but it felt stagnent at some places. Mc kept getting attached to the worst characters up untill the end there. I dont think i have a deacent understanding of the magic system in this book its just so vague. My thanks to the narrrators who did a great job.
