De: Aaron Oster

Narrado por: Doug Tisdale Jr.

The first arc in Morgan's Rise to Omniscience. Over 650,000 words in one convenient box set!

This set contains books 1-5 of Rise to Omniscience, as well as the audio exclusive short story, "Beast Zone".

Morgan's life is not easy.

Growing up on the streets of City Four, he is constantly shunned by the other citizens. Morgan doesn't mind being ignored. What he does mind, though, are the constant beatings from the city guards due to his friendship with Sarah, the city lord's only daughter.

Lord Simon wants him dead, but the laws of the kingdom are on Morgan’s side, and even the guards won't kill him just for being seen near his manor. Morgan’s time is running out, though. Lord Simon has deep pockets, and his last visit to the manor may just have put him over the edge. Worse, he is nearing his 16th birthday, and has yet to awaken any abilities. In a world where might makes right, he has never been one of the mighty. What will he do when faced with a life-altering decision, and just how will his decision impact those around him?

Warning: This book contains some profanity, gore, and content that may not be suitable for children. This book also contains GameLit elements such as stat sheets and a form of leveling and experience gain.

Just wow.

Firstly, I’m still on book one as of this review, about 9 chapters in. Holy hell, the VA is absolutely killing this story and not in a good way. Monotonous through most of the chapters with barely if any changes in mood or tone with fights. Life threatening fight? No difference from walking through the city. I missed a chunk while at work listening and next I knew they had killed someone… no changes at all to the voices, no signs that a fight had even started, no indication that they were nervous, scared, or tired afterwards besides verbally saying these emotions. At this point, may as well have an AI read the book. The story itself sounds like it should be great and I’ll update the review later when I finish the full 5 books. But this acting just made me want a refund so far. I really really hope this improves through the books.

horrible narrator

the book might be better if not the narrator. I guess it could of been worse, not like mc was a killing machine right from the start with no training and automatically knowing how to use abilities. oh wait he did

Awesome as usual! Great story and performance!

keep up the great story telling. I'll keep buying! Don't listen to the troll idiots!

Easy read.

Buuuuut very enjoyable. Cool story line and awesome story building. Great for rides to and from work

Loved it

Can’t wait to listen to the next set in the series. I hope it’s just as good.

Solid story and performance

It took a bit to get into this story given the emotional defect of the MC but as the story unfolded and the cause came to light the story made a lot more sense. There's a lot of good story telling in this series and the author does a good job of handling the over powered nature of the characters.

Personally I find superpowered characters a bit tedious, i.e. one fight pretty much kills everyone else nearby so what kind of world do you live in when every battle wipes out the entire population? So this is the story of characters, not a society, which by definition makes it a bit shallow. Just my two cents!

Lit-rific

I must say that I had a hard time at first, but as the story progressed and the background was revealed, I started to enjoy myself. I can't say that it's perfect, but I can say that I did have a hard time putting it down. Much like a child growing up or life as time passes, this series has been getting better as it grows and matures. looking forward to the next set of books..

Annoying

I hate Sarah so much I might not finish the series. Her complaining all the time then she bitches at the MC just for looking at her then goes and sexually assaulted him like it's ok because he doesn't understand.

Lazy World building

The story is entertaining enough. However, the world building can't be described as anything but lazy. North, South, East, West. and Central Kingdoms. The capital city, City 1, City 2, etc.

Excellent work

Not a single person of color, asian or “brown” in fact the only black one is the final boss.
Hopefully it won’t be like that in the order continents.
