Manaborn 1

Manaborn Series, Book 1

By: Cassius Lange

Narrated by: Eric Michael Summerer

Length: 13 hrs and 23 mins

Publisher's summary

This is the story about how I died. Not really.... I mean, I don't remember most of it, thank goodness. Long story short, I was betrayed. Some people I thought I could trust invaded my sky palace, stole my women, and enslaved my pet shadow hounds.

I was destroyed, utterly. Or so they thought.

Somehow, mana, the source of my previous power, brought me back. The backstabbing weasels think they are safe, barricaded in their strongholds. Here's the horrible part. They willingly sacrificed their own flesh and blood for security. And they had the nerve to call me evil?

Death wasn't all bad, I guess. It showed me what was truly important. But before I can get around to living my second life, I have some retribution to dish out.

Yes, some will call me unnatural. Others, evil. Blah blah blah.

I call myself the Manaborn.

Contains mature themes.

Not Bad!

This story is wasn’t as bad I was lead to believe. It’s got a good character building and world building that lets you forget about the missing dialogue and elements about the plot. Looking forward to book 2!

Eh

Has potential but not my cup of tea, to much her eyes her tits her ass, chapter long sex scenes etc… though if you like that kind of book then it’s a good book well written decent mc, side characters etc…

Not bad for Cultivation

I enjoyed it. Good VA performance! Can’t wait to see what comes next. Interesting world building.

Really really enjoyed this book

I have listened to hundreds of this type of genre and I usually don’t write reviews because it doesn’t stir enough emotion for me to do so……BUT this author has a very good premise and his writing style is excellent! It has the perfect amount of adult content that doesn’t just focus on that aspect and completely forgo the entire plot. I thoroughly enjoyed the narrator and author and am greatly saddened that the second one isn’t out yet! Not to mention that the MC is super powerful which is exciting, but he is in a new body that has to rise to the position of power that he had in the past, so not everything is handed to him on a silver platter. Please write some more Cassius, I am definitely looking forward to it!!!!!

not bad but not great either

kinda predictable and slow but not a bad book after the first couple chapters you know where this book is going and no real twists to keep interest

Thoughts 4 hours in

Narrator is killing it.

So the premise isn’t terrible but the MC, as I do kinda like him as he isn’t as much of a whiny overly heroic guy is a bit of a hypocrite, dude had like 14 concubines, killed and did wicked things to get power….. but is bothered by royals that turn a blind eye to Brothels, Gambling Dens, and loan shark banks… GTFO with that nonsense.
Oh and the Sex scenes need to be shorter they are mad cringy feels kinda unnecessary to give that much detail… I mean I’m glad the MC isn’t acting like a shy little kid but guy needs to chill with the creep stares as well.

It’s still bearable, though,

great story

the MC was great... story was awesome characters were well written so far it's a thumbs up

Don’t waste your time…

So the Author dropped this series. Manaborn book 1 &2 have been rewritten and rereleased in 3 books. It’s Mana Born: A progressive Fantasy Adventure. Don’t know the difference between the updated version but if you look up book 3 the description is nothing like where book 2 left. Not cool author not cool Audible.

If you like…

This is a cis style tale. Macho men with a submissive harem with no surprises. Not my thing.

Surprised me

I was definitely surprised. A new look on cultivation,magic system. Political intrigue and action. Yes this book has adult content with hot women you seen it in the blurb you was warned fine by me I would tone down the amount and add fade to black. I liked it mainly this guy has a past and is changing his ways he and his companions grow as characters throughout the story . My only gripe is the time before to the time of the story wasn’t long enough also Eric is a great narrator wasn’t a bad choice
