Beyond All Expectations

A Science fiction fantasy LitRPG Series

By: Michael Chatfield

Narrated by: Tristan Morris

The event of myths and legends has started! The first spawn points have started to open, issuing forth creatures and people that were banished from Emerilia long ago.

Dave and the Pandora’s Box group are advancing their plans and building projects as fast as possible. When an opportunity arises to take their projects to the next level, they’re going to have to use all of their tricks and crafting abilities in order to seize it.

The Stone Raiders and the Terra Alliance that they have formed will undergo its first baptism. The time of peace has ended.

In this event, they need to be the strongest to protect what they care for. Either they will die again and again losing levels and people of Emerilia, or they will be able to stand, their strength growing to new heights.

Good but...

have you ever watched a show that you love just loved and the same thing happens alot i.e. the good guys winning all the time? by that I mean you know they are going to win no matter what? that's kinda what's going on here. I love the series the only thing is there isn't enough doubt being sold to convince me things are more on the edge and you dont know which way the scales are going to tip

A Great Story

I love the story, but the science is just terrible. I understand that its scifi, but the whole Hydrogen thing was painful to listen to. They go to a planet covered in ice and dig up blocks of frozen hydrogen. It doesn't work that way. Also, with the technology they had available they could have created Tritium at home. Any cursory research would have pointed out the many errors in his depiction of how hydrogen works. I still really enjoyed the series and this book, but I needed to complain about this bit. I can ignore a lot of small issues but this was just ridiculous.

Pre-review

Reading the reviews is sometime hilarious. I know I am still going to be annoyed by the 5 minute character sheet reads, adjust a few stats right back into another 5 minute character sheet read. That is absolutely horrible and probably annoys a Lot of people.
That being said I am just purchasing book 8 right so I guess it wasn't annoying enough to keep me from finishing the series.

One of the reviews by Kindle Customer titled "a great story" who is reading a science fiction Litrpg book complaining about the science? magical coding and spells are cool with them but not how they handle Hydrogen. LOL!! BTW, from reading the review I dont see the issue with the science. Hydrogen is/can be solid, it is one of the lowest density solids. Yeah you have to get it down to −434.45 °F for it to be a solid but I don't see an issue with that on another planet. I guess I will have to listen to the book to figure out what the gripe is, cause from the review that is exactly how Hydrogen works or could work.

I will update the review after the listen is over. Can't wait to start

Why is the story less about Dave???

I’ve really enjoyed the series, Michael Chatfield is a phenomenal writer, but why are we separating from Dave? There was very little interaction with his character....I hope that on the following books, he returns as the main character. Still a good book though.

This is a good series!

I have liked these books and I am looking forward to listening to the last three when they get recorded! Keep up the entertaining work and never stop writing books that make people feel good at the end of each one.

Great series great voice actor

so glad that I discovered this series. I know the whole thing is finished but I'm really enjoying the voice actor and and patient enough to wait and hear how this whole thing finishes.

Another solid entry in the series

Warning: Spoilers in the last paragraph.

As the pre-penultimate book in the series, a lot of setup was done, while filling the gaps with large and small battles, after the buildup in the last book it felt a bit deflated. A necessary evil in a tale being told in 10 volumes.

Having read them as they were released originally (rapidly released, Chatfield produced a book a month I think) it is good to see an editors work in the audiobook... 'tis but a scratch :). The narration is the same excellence I expect.

I just enjoyed the book overall less than I wanted.

Love the OP crafter taking on all challenges. Knowing the ending, i would have loved to see the last three volumes of the series told over at least five.

Consider the pacing. A full book for becoming a dwarven master smith. This book works through all but two major enemies of M&L, birth, expanding operations to two more planets, firehosed Ashal Kingdoms introduction and status with 3-5 more major allies to the alliance, forging a new WoP, then Daves full circle to Rockbreaking comets. Heh, complaining Id like more is it's own endorsement.

As soon as I heard the 1st series I binged all away until they stop I am I see very happy that they produced another 1A

Author has added some exceptional characters

ie. the 6 affinities Mage and the his side kick the Spirit with his funny hat are examples. this is one of the reasons I'm drawn back. I would like z PDF of the map when a big battle is held.

not bad but really should have ended sooner

okay how do you go from having my favorite book in the series to arguably the worst one in the series I mean you know the worst one amongst a really good series is still pretty good but yeah you're hoping the next one's much better
