The Jester of Apocalypse: Immortality

The Jester of Apocalypse, Book 2

De: Robert Blaise

Narrado por: J.S. Arquin

The Great God spots trouble on the horizon.

Demons scheme in the shadows. A myth golem wreaks havoc across the continent. Trouble is brewing in the Yixine empire.

All of these cataclysms are eclipsed by an apocalypse greater than them all—Neave's arrival at the capital.

Torn between rehabilitating the profoundly sick cultivator society and wiping the slate clean, Neave gathers power on his journey to find the right solution. He grows suspicious of even his own thoughts, however, and it soon becomes clear that it won't be easy.

But all of that is secondary to solving the immediate problem on his hands—not dying from all the abuse his body has gone through.

Loved it overral with a small caveat.

So this book was fantastic overall. I enjoy the interactions between characters a lot! Any book that accomplishes that is good to me. I didn't that early on in the book Neave went back into the time loop area and fought more variations of demons for seemingly no reason. I was very upset by that, because I felt like he was barely out of that realm at the end of the first book and we hardly had any time to enjoy his antics in the real world. And then he immediately went back in, I got worried the author was a one trick pony who didn't know how to write a book with real character interactions, and instead was trying to repeat the first book with endless hours of fighting copy/paste enemies.

So right when I was about to remove the book from my library, I decided to skip all the chapters covering Neave going back to the loop realm. Great decision. He got back out and had wonderful interactions and antics with real people. I didn't need to suffer through another slog after just finishing that exact scenario in the first book.

Loved the book.

Great Addition, but..

The amount of times you will here the main character's name will probably make you pull your teeth out... otherwise, it was a great read.

Good cultivation fantasy

It doesn't have Neiv being as cooky crazy as the last book, which was what made me want the sequel. However it is still a solid cultivation fantasy and Neiv coming back from the edge of madness a bit makes sense for the story. I'll probably get book 3 if one comes out.

Great read love the mix of crazy and genius

If you enjoyed the first you’ll enjoy this one still a strong story and leaves me excited for more

I do love me some chaotic good MCs.

This is a good series in my eyes. Solid power progression, a nice dash of my mystery, and some solid character development.

yes

barry you really enjoyed this book!! can not wait for the 3rd one to come out. the main did not turn in to a little bi&@h and start making stupid choices.

Much better than the first

More character development. I like how the direction the MC is moving towards. Marv still gets a lot of shit but in this one, he gets exactly what he deserves for the reasons he deserves it. The first book seemed to punish him for good decisions and not his bad ones. So far so good

This was a fantastic sequel

I really enjoyed the second book a lot. It was hilarious and a lot different parts. The main character has really grown on me. And I really enjoyed his crazy personality. The story is highly interesting in developing quietly. There seems to be a lot going on. Definitely very captivating of a read. It's very different than a lot of cultivation novels that I've read. But it's seriously one of the best I have read. The main character's voice has grown on me. At first on the book one I didn't care now. It really fits the character's personality the best for me. Now I'm really looking forward to book 3. Keep up the great writing.

Hopefully Deezes real last name gets revealed in the next book

Great book! Although one thing that I couldn't get into was the weird raspy voice. I dont mind different voices but at least make it to wear I can hear what you're saying.

I don’t want interactions, I want to be in the hell realm

Too much is spent on the specifics of the hell realm and the soul realm. Everyone else is so underdeveloped they’re more side characters than anything. Interactions are usually one note and going off a cliche with little meat, meanwhile most time is spent in spirit realm, hell realm, or repeating stuff to himself or saying the punchline is coming for the punchline to come. It’s very repetitive and most of it could have been glossed over in a time lapse. The sect doesn’t even really start in this whole book, they just got a building and a bunch of people holding onto cores while they ponder if they should use them as the main character goes on centuries long isolation training arcs. In the outside world, I wouldn’t be surprised if all these two books happened within a week from the start with how little the outside seemed to matter. The whole mind hijacking thing is resolved after two books which he only recently started noticing and broken because his sister came to him at a bad time and he didn’t want to deal with it so he snapped it off and had his ONLY one on one in depth talk with her for the entire series so far. Otherwise she’s shivering somewhere scared or pondering the cores instead of using them.

Please, in the next book, give him someone to constantly bounce off of. Loving his green haired friend, please more of that please. Him doing nothing but banging his head against timeless situations he’s mostly making himself go through to get stronger is mostly empty calories and we need to lean off the junk food and get some real story meat. I want the world he occupies that has stakes to actually matter to him. He can be OP but he should care more that the real world exists more than to be a resource. Give the world a reason to be the setting. The hell world is not the story, it’s the training area. The hyperbolic time chamber. Make him a protagonist, not the only reactive mad hermit.
