Publisher's summary

No one has ever come back from beyond the veil ...

To Viggo, the veil was simply a landmark. Crossing it was considered suicide, and he'd never given much thought to what might lay beyond. Then, his life collapsed around him.
Ejected from the military academy that was to have marked the start of his career, disowned by his family, passed over by the gods themselves, Viggo's last chance lay beyond the veil.
Yet, from the very beginning, something was deeply troubling about the realm from whence the gods came. Its cities lay in ruins, its lands peopled by lunatics locked into tasks they could not escape. Even the natural laws were corrupted, and death itself had lost its grip.
Viggo's access to the strange, seemingly omnipotent system gave him new abilities and limitless potential. With a reincarnated goddess and a strange fox-woman for companions, Viggo quickly realized that to survive in this world would be easy: he was immortal. The hard part would be keeping his sanity.
The road he must travel will lead to conflict with champions and the gods they serve, but before that, he has to learn to live in a world that won't let him die.

AWESOME litrpg

really liking this book and the narration is just amazing. MC is a lovable acehole who has much to learn but amazing companions to help. can't wait for book 2

So friggin good

I am not 100 percent sure where the story is going, but I and darn sure I am happy to be along for the ride. New style of book for author, but it’s great. The audio is amazing. Buy it.

The concept is incredibly unique.

I absolutely loved this book, I can't wait to hear the rest of this story. The voice acting was incredible as always you guys are amazing.

Wonderfully Unique

A very well written first entry into a complex and multifaceted world filled with intrigue and mystery. The characters are well fleshed out and I highly recommend this book!

Confusing

I like the overall idea and I thought coming from Cebelius it would be a great adventure, which it is but it’s so darn confusing.

I can’t figure out if the mc is a NPC from a game who gains autonomy or if it’s any actual world. The Veil is all game mechanics but the adventurers seem like avatars for people playing a game. They speak differently with earth slang and terms that is completely alien to what the MC knows.

Plus I just couldn’t get into the whole thing, it’s well written but just chaotic in that everything is distracting and meaningless. The whole mc being sent to a different place but didn’t take advantage of the situation. The lack of understanding from his companions in that he doesn’t understand what is going on and they treat him like a noob in a game without actually helping him.

This book seems less thought out than what Cebelius normally does that makes me think someone stole his pen name.

Is it good, yes. It is also frustrating and completely unnecessary to do half what the book has done. Nothing is explained well and world seems like a FromSoftware unfinished project game that just has a random mishmash quests.

The mc is not likable the deity he serves is just as annoying and the fox/human sidekick isn’t helpful. Idk I felt like this was just a random mix of ideas that just was t well thought out.

Cebelius never misses

yet another banger by my favorite author. narration on point as always. nice ending too, looking forward to more.

Amazing Story craft

perfect balance between calm and active moments and the narrators knocked it out of the park, would recommend to any and everyone looking for a slow burn story👍

Not for me, but not a bad book

its not bad, just slow. I started with book but couldn't get into it, got about half-way, then saw the audio with Daniel and gave it another try, while the performances were good and the story premise is also good, the pacing was definitely too slow for me and I usually listen on 1.35-1.45 speeds. there is a lot of development,

Going furry?

My fantasy pet is my GF. It’s cute at times. Not for me though , I expected more , especially considering the other reviews before
