The Rising

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Jason had nothing. No hope, no joy, no purpose. An average person, in and out.

One day, the world ended, or at least the world as he knew it previously.

Blue screens appeared in front of everyone all of a sudden, heralding the arrival of the System on Earth. It gave everyone a chance to become something more. It also brought monsters and dungeons that threatened to destroy the remnants of society.

Yet again, Jason had nothing. Due to unfortunate circumstances, he became a dismantler; scavenging corpses for cheap change. Dismantlers were no adventurers, and certainly not heroes that people admired, thus he lived aimlessly for some time.

One day and due to a stroke of luck (or perhaps misfortune), Jason had a chance to do everything once again from scratch.

Equipped with knowledge and experience, he planned on making this opportunity count.

He faced dangers and horrors that pushed him to the brink. He met friends and enemies that made him question his values. He uncovered secrets and mysteries that hinted at a bigger picture. And he made decisions and actions that had unforeseeable consequences.

What secrets lie behind the tutorial? How will Jason use the opportunities he finds to his advantage? What choices will he make when he faces a dilemma that could change everything? And who is he really?

And more importantly, why did he come back to the beginning of it all?

Find out in System Dilemma, a LitRPG novel that will keep you guessing and wondering!

Hard to root for and listen too

Firstly, this is the WORST AI reading of any book I have ever heard. Probably the worst on audible, there doesn’t sound like ANY editing was done to correct the absurd number of mistakes.

Secondly, the MC is really hard to root for or identify with if your self esteem isn’t super low. Even then, you probably don’t have want to listen to an MC help people who treated him like trash, put him in debt, and got him killed. Or blame himself for surviving being betrayed. And having nightmares from blaming himself about the people who betrayed and abandoned him dying because the monster they pushed him towards chased them instead as they ran away.

And why didn’t he clear all of the dungeons first? Why choose to have a struggle you could avoid?

And the authors justification for having the MC reveraling secrets to someone who used and abandoned him in the first time line was just idiotic. How is them becoming more curious your problem?

How he spends his stat points is frustratingly ridiculous. He is a mage and there is ONE mage stat. He seems allergic to increasing it. He just increases endurance and justifies it because of one skill. There’s no hard or long fights for him, otherwise it’d be obvious how dumb it is to neglect the only stat your class requires. I think the author is handicapping him to make things harder later on. Or just doesn’t understand the mechanics of stat based progression fantasies/games/etc. I’m pretty sure this is mostly AI written because of this kind of issue and the weirdly inconsistent and at times exponential leveling speed and random exp assignment for monsters. I wish someone else had been handed this story to edit after why I assume is an AI wrote it.
