Rise to Omniscience, Book 1

De: Aaron Oster

Narrado por: Doug Tisdale Jr.

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?

Very enjoyable, exited for book 2

This book had what I feel a lot of litrpg are missing, and that's a good plot. It showed me who the characters were and what they are willing to do. I could have done without the abusive side character, but I understand why he was there.

The narrator was fine. Some of the female characters started to sound the same, but the guy nailed some of the other voices.

awsome

This book captures attention with it's action and imagination. I can't wait for the story to continue in the coming books.

whats wrong with the main character

main character, autistic, dumb, or what. I have never written a true review. but the main characters stupidity towards what sex is baffles me. Even if a 15 year old has never been tought anything about sex they still have hormones and tend to want to plug prong A into slot B. The rest of the characters in the story seem to be aware. So i am hoping for a written reveal that maybe explains his not wanting or understanding what his "man hood" is used for.

(amended spoiler)
second book answers my real complaint with the first book. Thank you Aaron for making it clear.

On a side note i am intrigued by the world and I see myself reading and or listening to the next book. It is simply written and allows you to work or do other tasks in between chapters without losing much.

Narration often didn't match the mood.

The story was pretty cool and the abilities are neat.
MC is for some reason aloof when it comes to social situations. it's explained that he grew up on the streets, but for how ignorant he is to socializing and relationships, you'd think he grew up in a cave.
I had to get used to the narration. often the narrator didn't convey emotions of the scene at all. Voices weren't too bad, but I'm guessing he's just new to narrating as he was getting better toward the end somewhat. To be fair the story makes it seem like the characters aren't really all that affected by violence and killing despite being very young. Unless someone is being blown apart and blood goes everywhere, they're kind of nonchalant about it lol. Story was still fun and narrator needs more experience, but I'm just spoiled by performances of really good narrators from other books I've listened to. Worth the credit if you like action, magic, and skill progression. It's like a bloody action anime, but dubbed. I got my credits worth though I think.

Fun, but unoriginal.

The entire book I can pick out all the little "inspired by" sections, which isn't necessarily bad, but it does make it feel less unique. Also, I don't care if your main character is naive and innocent, but there is no way he doesn't realize what rape is... Narration was good, you could definitely tell he was getting more used to the characters as the book went on. I do think this book could have used an extra our or so of character development and growth. Also, the villains were cartoonishly one-sided. Though for its fault, overall still pretty solid. I'll most likely pick up the next one- 3.8/5

good start

okay I have to agree with all the other reviews this is actually a really good book. However the level of stupidity when it comes to the subject of sex or any subject related to females and relationships for the main character is a little ridiculous no matter how you look at it. the narrator did a pretty decent job. the only issue I had with the narration would be the tone in his voice gives the impression that you're listening to a book for younger kids like 8 to 10. more like a fairytale kind of book as opposed to a young adult or just straight-up fantasy book series

pretty good

wasn't really expecting to much from this book, but this book surprised me, it is a pretty good book.

Very enjoyable

This book stands out in its own right when others fall into clichés in this genre. It is worth getting!

great

loved it!!! one of the best lit rpg's I have listened too.❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤

Interesting

Cool premise. Some of the world building is good while other parts not. (Cities literally names city 1, city 2 etc.) characters are very basic in mannerisms and speech. Magic system seems cool and propels the book.
