Eminent Domain

The Way of Etherforging, Book 1

De: RJ Shoke

Narrado por: Daniel Henning

This is the way the world ends—not with a whimper, but a bang.

It was the only thing running through Cedrick Jonkheer's mind when the alien pylons made landfall. The Intergalactic Imperium used their right of Eminent Domain to appropriate the planet to build a goddamned highway… and all Jonx got was a sarcastic AI and some superpowers.

The end of times came, and mankind was not prepared. He watched his world burn, then hid himself away at the bottom of the Mariana Trench.

"Etherforging," his AI called it. Take the power that destroyed the world and make it his own. Advance. Grow stronger. Forge himself into someone who could survive a mad, mad universe.

awesome book.

Get it. credit won't be a waste. little loopy in front. but once you catch on the system, the cultivation, and then there is the universe, worth it.

It is definitely good, but...

Idk why the title is Eminent Domain, they first thing the book does is time skip practically everything related to the end of earth.
This single book could have been broken into an epic trilogy or an even larger series. there is a ton of talk about crystallization and body forging which is all well and good, except they don't explain what that all means initially, you just have to guesstimate with contect clues.
I hope the author gives us a few prequel books to supplement. literally the time skip on earth sounds like it would make for an amazing series on its own.

Listen to this!

I have previously read and reread this book about 5 or 6 times and the audio version is great. The story is pretty much a great sci-fi cultivation novel with its own unique style.

I loved the fusion of cultivation and science fiction

Really enjoyed this story. It was a great fusion of cultivation and science fiction. Kept my attention the whole time. I highly recommend this book.

fantastic series!

I've read this series on Kindle and have checked weekly to see if it's available on audio because it's just that good!

copycat cultivation book

bizarrely you seem to need to have read other, incompatible books regarding the cultivation of Xi in order to follow this one. It strikes me as a PR AI copy of other goods books.

So good!

This is one of those books that are so good you don’t put it down at night and you go to bed all exhausted and you wake up late…yes it really is that good…

It started off, feeling rushed, but soon the story developed nicely.

When this story started off and then began to jump from one event to another, I felt that it was a little too rushed, but as the story went on, I realize that the events that were covered for all the important events that would shape main characters life in this new world. Before I knew it, I was wholly fascinated with this book. I look forward to listening to the next book this series.  

Not bad not bad at all!

A litrpg with a cyberpunk aspects with the A.I assistant system robots. Kinda got lost when mc just walked out of the sect cultivation stage and whent right into the intersteller threat in the rising. Part culunary crafter, part force based physics using fighter. Not bad, definitely worth the discounted price i got it for.

weird pace

I don't like the mc he is supposed to be middle aged but is very immature, cringey an unfunny, the pace of the book and narration is weird.
