Unintended Cultivator, Volume One

De: Eric Dontigney

Narrado por: Adam Verner

He never intended to be a cultivator. The heavens have another plan…

Sen never dreamed of ascension. Such were the aspirations of the rich young nobles, not orphans like him, scraping together a meager living on the streets of Orchard’s Reach.

However, when destiny takes an unexpected turn, Sen finds himself thrust into the role of a cultivator’s disciple. Chosen over the nobles who once looked down on him, he is adopted into a makeshift family of three ancient cultivators, each with a lifetime of knowledge and insights. These old monsters will teach Sen everything they can, from the art of the jian and spear to the mysteries of arcane alchemy.

Yet, on the path to defying the heavens, Sen will have to make difficult choices. He needs to decide what kind of person he wants to be, and what mark he wants to leave on the world. Because when his training ends, he will have the power to shake the world. He will also have formidable enemies who will do anything to put him back in his place…

gracefully told from start to finish

leaves me wanting to walk the story with him can't wait till the next book comes out in audible

Book is very well written but the narrator drives me nuts.

I really enjoyed the story and MC but the narrator sounds like he’s an AI who just learned how to talk. So many awkward pauses and strange emphasis on unnecessary words is super frustrating. A good narrator should make you forget they exist but this guy isn’t it.

Pleasant Surprise

Solid book to start a series. Main character isn’t whiny or magically overpowered. Just a victim of a fortunate circumstance.

Likable Rags to Riches MC

Good book if you’re new to cultivation or experienced with it. The storyline is steady and builds using a very different frame of reference for each character. Not a lot of action but enough to force the MC to sharply define who he really is. A very entertaining book and I’ve just purchased volume two.

Great original story

Great story. So many are reincarnation origin. Great to read a new story. Looking forward to reading the rest of the series.

Great Story with actual non-standard protagonist

Everything was great, plot, pacing, etc,, except one small thing...The narrator was a little too smooth. He is one of those really calm, nice voiced narrators that you just want to relax and take a nap too. While this was great for most of the story, it was a bit hard to feel tension with such a smooth voice during the combat scenes.

Excellent

Really enjoyed this one. Great character building (and likable characters, rare in the cultivation genre!!). The narrator was a bit “sing-song”, but, overall quite good. Will definitely continue with this series.

a new take on the stories

it was a unique story . told very well i hope to hear more soon

great start

this is a great start to a new series, since it's the 1st book it's what you expect however it still keeps it interesting at least for me that is. story really pick up only at the end though. next book will be even better if the last couple chapter are anything to go by.

CULTIVATION TOLD RIGHT!

Loved the pacing. It's rare that a writer takes the audience on a ride through the journey that is cultivation as thoroughly as this book. You sort of feel like you're learning and training along Sen after awhile. The world seems well built. I found myself anxious for him to adventure, because like I said the author is kind of raising the audience in the world along side our mc. This book seems to be setting up the next one to big twice if not three times better. I highly recommend if you're looking for a great less CHILDISH cultivation story that really scratches that proverbial itch. Book 2 when?!????
