Rise of the Deathstalkers 2

A GameLit Post-Apocalyptic Adventure (Deathstalker Demigods)

By: Kurtis Eckstein

Narrated by: Robert Bradvica, Alyssa Poon

Genres: LitRPG / GameLit, Post-Apocalyptic, Adventure Fantasy

Discovering that the system responsible for raising my stats might actually be "aware" left me speechless. Literally, since I was temporarily hit with a "Stroke Ailment" to shut me up.

However, that just raised more questions and concerns, especially now that it was the clear this mysterious force wielded significantly more power over my life than I ever imagined.

And worse, things were only going to get more complicated.

New party members, more dangerous fights, and foreboding evolutions all threatened to upset the one goal I’d had since the very beginning - survive.

Prologue

Savannah took a deep breath and let it out slowly, turning her head again to focus on the brilliant icy blue leaves blowing gently in the breeze.

“I hate this,” she commented, only to abruptly look up at me in alarm, as if she was afraid of being misunderstood. “I’m thankful that you saved me,” she clarified. “But I just hate this system thing, and the fact that it’s putting us in danger.”

“I know,” I replied simply. “I don’t like it much either. But we have to get stronger. You have to get stronger. Otherwise we might not be so lucky next time.” My tone became somber as I lowered my voice to a whisper. “It was a really close one. Too close.”

Savannah shivered at the too recent memory, pushing more into me, and thus, shoving my folded wings more against the frame, as she turned to look at the Foxfire Trees endlessly burning in the darkness in a heatless blaze.

Rise of the Night Stalkers 2 is a full-length novel.

Great continuation

I have to say, I was so excited when I saw this finally made it to audible. I love the character development and growing emotions in the MC. I’ve come to enjoy the relationship between the 3 main characters and the realization at the end of the story is interesting. I’m looking forward to what the next book will cover.

WOW, what an awesome second book!

WOW, what an awesome second book! I REALLY can't wait to read the next book in this series. It cannot come out soon enough, holy crap I have so many questions that need answers after than ending!

Good book but…

Good book but the main guy goes on way too many rambles and gets too lost in his head. Honestly it gives me a headache with how much he worries about stuff he has no control over it actually holds him back. Instead of progressing he gets lost and wants to experiment. Good story love it but that’s a huge character trait that makes me not wanna finish.

Love the series

Great narration. The monster MC having "human" moments offers unexpected laughs sometimes. And other times the onion ninjas will attack. Really hoping the author continues the series, as there are so many possible threads to follow.

I think it's alright

I'll definitely say I don't like the the direction it went. I've listened to tao wongs system apocalypse so I was used to the whole "what is the system" question constantly being asked. the only difference is this book answered that and it just felt like all the curiosity and intrigue was sucked out of me. it left me with the feeling that nothing mattered and just left me not even really looking forward to the next book. There were a lot of what the heck moments that just made me pause the book for a few minutes to collect myself before I could continue. I'll probably listen to the next book but I'm not really looking forward to it as a impulse buy

OK.... That Was Not What I Expected

After loving book 1 I had very much expected to love this sequel. However I feel like this story went way too far off the rails and not in a fun way. I understand that perhaps we the reader are being left in suspense but there are far too many odd coincidences and glitchs in "The System" for me to enjoy. Everything is a bit too disjointed for me. Starting with the Massive unlikely hood of what immediately happens to Savannah.

Perhaps these things will be explained but with only 2 hours left to go on this book I am stuck with the feeling that our characters have no control over their own lives. This may be perpuousful but it makes for an unfulfilling story. And that is the feeling I've had since the first System Quest our MC receives in this book.

Considering how amazing the first book is I was very puzzled by the odd directions this book has taken.

can't recommend

both books were 80% the mc in his own head which felt like total feeler to me and made me wish that the book would hurry up and end through most of it.

That's it.

I will never listen to this author's works, outside of the life of an immortal series.

I am an avid fan of The life of an immortal series. I have listened to the entire series multiple times. Seeing he produced another series that interested me I followed up on it. I saw the first book of this as mediocre but i followed up on the sequel.

This book felt like the author got sick of the series and decided to rush it. The plotline is confusing and almost pointless, he rushes from plot point to plot point without much explanation behind them, thinking he's being mysterious when in actuality he's just making it confusing. He has 2 different time skips and a seperate "romance" subplot where he states there can't be romance while still debating it constantly.

Finally the male voice actor. He doesn't understand what overacting means. He's constantly talking too fast, growling and huffing the MC's internal monologue.
