Becoming a God Made Easy: A Cultivation-Esque LitRPG

Theos, Book 1

By: Arthur Wordsmith

Narrated by: Seth Podowitz

A young man's death is only the beginning when he elects to pursue divinity in a realm where gods and monsters are all too real.

Luke was your typical nine-to-five office drone when he was killed in a head-on car collision during his morning commute. Instead of going to heaven, Luke's soul is brought to a hellish realm on the verge of total destruction, where two supernatural beings soon engage in brutal combat. Defeating her rival, the victorious Arke prepares to claim her prize, the powerful God Seed. But the ancient artifact has plans of its own, offering to soul-bond with Luke, who accepts and flees to the world of Theos to escape Arke's wrath.

There, on the island of Carim, Luke is guided by the God Seed to take possession of the body of a recently deceased fisherman and embark on quests that will help him ascend to godhood. But his resurrection does not go unnoticed. The elderly Nefkha has been charged by a pantheon of deities drawn straight from myth to locate a thief on the run. Realizing Luke is the one the gods seek, Nefkha strikes a bargain to keep the younger man's identity secret in exchange for help with a mysterious task.

Now, to survive a manhunt orchestrated by the rulers of his strange new world, Luke must ensure Nefkha doesn't betray him—and learn how to wield a mighty relic desired by forces far beyond his imagination . . .

The first volume of the hit progression-fantasy series—with more than 850,000 views on Royal Road—now available on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and Audible!

Great story

Looks like I found another decent story to follow. Didn’t like the main character asking dumb questions all the time but overall a great story. I’ll be on the lookout for book two.

very good mixture of cultivation and system plots

One of the better izakai stories I've listened to a good backstory excellent plot twists really keeps me wanting to listen. I hope there is a continuation soon

The author kept it simple. The narrator did a good job. A better book than most.

The author doesn’t drown the story in moral justifications, or go out of his way to be sadistic. There is no harem in this book has no explicit scenes. In my opinion, these things made this book more enjoyable than 99% of the books in the LIT RPG cultivation genre. I’m not saying that this book was perfect but that it’s better than most other fad chasing books in the genre.

Very Enjoyable

Becoming a God Made Easy is an absolute delight! The worldbuilding is rich and immersive, drawing me in from the very first pages. The characters are compelling, each bringing depth and intrigue to the story. The pacing strikes a great balance between action, progression, and moments of reflection, making for an engaging read throughout.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and can’t wait to see where the series goes next. If the future installments maintain this level of quality, this could easily become a standout series in the genre. Highly recommended!

Awesome

Awesome well paced story that kept me engaged the entire time. Definitely worth the listen!

Pretty good

Interesting story with a likeable main character. The story progression is good and fast forwards the story to progress the story along when it needs to very well. The voice acting was pretty good as well.

gods

Finally a good book about becoming a God. I also really enjoy that fact they threw in the Olympian gods and other myths to really create something special.

A real god

I got this for free and enjoyed it. Headed to book two and really hope book three happens soon. It’s well written and enjoyable.

An engaging quality underrated book

The book kept me engaged, lots of Greek gods themes in the story. The book may not have a ton of reviews but it’s very interesting.

Interesting but the delivery is okay

This is an interesting book not great but it's a good book something to read while you're by the pool one of those things that if you like the whole pantheon stuff then Hey you're like this it has all your favorite heroes from Hercules to Jason It's just one of those books
