Awakening the Angel System Omnibus: Books 1-3

By: Dungeon Ducky

Narrated by: Dylan Wheeler, Ellory Lane

Three Volumes in a single offering!

In a Post-Apocalyptic world of Magic and Machinery, Jack Knight is an orphan who finds himself caught between a life-altering decision.

Join the military and fight the demon hordes or sell his soul to the Corpos. Both options having minimal appeal to a shut-in like Jack. Thanks to the high cost of living, and his sister’s medical expenses, Jack has never given much thought to what he’d want to do with life, always living paycheck to paycheck, scrounging just enough to keep the lights on and his sister safe. However, in a strange turn of events that nearly kills him, an Angel presents him with a third option.

Awaken and become her instrument of revenge with the ultimate power.

Well written

complaints first: sometimes, the systen check undercuts the urgency of whats happening.
- the system checks take a long time, i had a hard time deserning what changed. that could just be me tho.

praise: the story is well written, well paced, and well performed

Decent enough

Starting off, from the VA, I thought this was going to be a saucy book, but faaaar from it.
















Jack is such a pansy. Yes, he has his SMALL moments where he isn’t, but for the vast majority he is just obviously manipulated by everyone. They tell this to his face while literally laughing and all he does is complain like a little b*tch. “But what about his sister?!?!?” He can help her and keep her safe but he doesn’t. He has a route that he never uses. Everyone around him lies. Oh suuure he gets upset, but all he does is make empty threats then continues on. Hell, even those who will die if he dies lie and manipulate him. Ridiculous. More over, since he was a child he was forced to take care of his sister; first due to a bad mom then a bad relative both of which should have done it, not him. He literally raised her and what happens? Just a few months being pampered and she disregards everything the MC has struggle and sacrificed for and acts like a little sh*t when she doesn’t get to go to war.

His OBSESSION with his sister is absolutely insane. There’s family love then there’s can’t think of anything but.

Accents. The female VA mixes up accents for some of the characters.

Then there’s the days in the mountains…what kind of shitty military country takes days to react to its planes being shot down and strategic resources being lost.

Also everyone is insulting the MC because he’s weak even though everyone has decades of fighting on him. Stupid.

OH! And lastly..,good lord PLEASE stop saying every line of his stats ESPECIALLY as often as it happens🤦‍♂️.

Lastly, you find out the MC’s mother did some messed up crap that turned her kids from wealthy noble officers to poor peasant cannon fodder. THEN that whole scene is just dropped and not touched on again.

good but MC and author choices bring it down

first of all the series is very good it has a good concept but the author makes choices that infuriates you a little bit for example book two The author makes it school which is a very jarring considered the first book The author goes to a lot of war and fighting and stuff like that and it suddenly he's in school the second book. another issue book two there is a lot of stats which is good in book form because you can see all the character progression but audiobook is can be annoying.

The biggest issue I have with the series is the MC Jack is annoying a hypocrite and pretty much frustrating. from day one we know Jack Love's sister Cool we get that but he okay I'm going to rant a little. anything that involves his sister he triggers him and it's not even funny it's just happens and he loses his all his senses and he gets called on it too. and he doesn't care about anything other than his sister there's this one person I'm not going to say who but they had something bad happen to them Jack goes off insulting their person then that person questions him if he cares about anyone other than his sister and he says yeah he doesn't he only think that matters is his sister Even his family members that are risking everything to protect him. he will sacrifice other people's lives to get his sister but if someone else says it he gets mad when they tried to sacrifice other people to pray like their people they care about everyone else is worried about the everything in the world society Injustice MC is like oh my my sister's Mike and her oh I better sacrifice the people who are trying to risk their lives to protect me who are trying to defend me who who help sacrificed their lives who lives depend on me but again when other people do this sacrifice the MC gets mad at him and complains and criticize them saying horrible things to them.

final major issue I don't get the power leveling and how strength is I don't know if the mc is strong or not and some points mC overpowered like crazy The way that structured it Yes he is but then he loses a duel to someone. he transformed and has some ultimate power. however a few chapters later he's losing someone. then they introduce the max and you're like okay how does that come into play. I'm I started thinking By book 3 The writer didn't

best bang for your credit

I like when I can enjoy our whole story and go from beginning to end and actually be entertaining. I can confidently and probably tell you this one does that prepare yourself for an adventure

An omnibus... is it really?

Ok, first of all.., I am a little disappointed to find out that the Omnibus only contains the first 3 books. Book 3 more or less ends in a cliff hanger and after research I find out that audiobooks for volume 4 and 5 were never done. Also the author may have abandoned the series and never completed book 6. He wrote a summary stub but has not added to it for over 22 months. Not a great sign after getting drawn into a series. I know it is a risk in some of the Litrpg series as many authors abandon their works. Hopefully this series will be completed. I have not read volumes 4 or 5 though and there is no Audible version yet - so here is to hoping its completed.

The narration and voice acting are done pretty well. I have no complaints about the voice acting. They seem pretty solid. I do like the fact that there are male and female voice actors. That is a nice touch.

One annoying thing though is the amount of time we spend reviewing the stats sheets. Having literally 5 minutes of stats being read all of a sudden in the middle of a battle or something gets old after a while. I know it is a mechanic to represent the "system" and its events, but literally the amount of narration and timing of that narration dedicated to reading stat charts and level ups wears on you. It gets old after a while. By the end of it I have really no idea what the purpose was and what stats I am even supposed to be paying attention to. So it ends up just losing the listener and adds some confusion to what could be a more solid story without all the stat interruptions.

Good book. MC is 50/50 get more and more useless, No spice “Turbo Virgin” the covers are credit bait.

First, The book is worth it. Well written story arc. Exciting and makes you want to hear more.

Second, The mc is just a punching bag most of the time. For someone with such a hard life he gets treated like shit and ignores it way too often.
Just manipulated and steam rolled all the time. I get he’s a child still and blah blah.. feels inaccurate.
His sis-con, timid when talking to women, and punching bag attitude made him unlikeable for me.

Also, despite the cover, there is no spice. The MC has anime protagonist energy turning down every advance with dogged determination. I fear the MC is playing for the other team.

Update, book 2 ..

Still the same with a more grumpy attitude towards everyone while still getting walked on. MC also seems to forget about most of his skills and growth. Just an observation, but, for the mc being so much more than the average people he sure does get surprised a lot and beaten. Ps FFS! How many times do I need to hear the stat screen. The whole thing. It’s a filler at this point. Just sum it up with the updates.

False story impression

The impression is this is one of the adult harem type novel but it isn't. You should be truthful about your advertisement.

great story for the first two books, not so good of the third one

I enjoyed the story up to the last book, but sadly the MC became annoying and it had gotten hard to finish the story. sadly I'm not going to continue the saga

a great series

It's a great series with expansive lore, characters, and a fairly unique plot given the nature of it being a LITRPG. Having been a fan since its start on Royal Road, the story has had its ups and downs but has SO much going on that even the author has to pause to figure out how characters' actions affect the world around them and the numerous characters that seem like ACTUAL people.
For a single credit its a steal

Wahoo! Omnibus deal.

I love getting these omnibuses in my favorite genre.
Dozens of hours of enjoyable listening for one credit.
This is a really good HaremLit series.
I'm giving this book 8 out of 5 stars.
