About this listen

The game real heroes are dying to play....

When an invitation to try a cutting-edge game promising darkly sensual adventure drops in Abram's lap, it's an offer he can't refuse. After all, as an agoraphobe who never leaves his apartment, his social life is defined by, and limited to, games.

Yet an interesting premise quickly shows its dark side as his mind is filled with memories of unspeakable torment, forcing him to rely on his meta-knowledge just to stay sane. The game is like nothing he's ever played: It has no tutorial, no HUD, no levels, no experience system, no respawns, and no mercy.

Surviving against all expectation, battered by memories of a woman he can't help but hate, Abram's only hope for survival is given to him by a chance encounter with Angrboda, the legendary mother of Fenrir. In her arms, he learns that only through sensual exchange can he advance, and with her support he sets his sights on power, rulership, and a harem of mythical, or murderous, women.

Celestine is a world of monsters. The strong rule the weak, trust is in short supply, and the only real options for the true survivor are to lay it or slay it. Thank goodness it's only a game.

Warning: This book does not pan to waving curtains and fade to black. Those uninterested or under the age of 18 are strongly warned of explicit content.

More of this please

Okay normally I’m not a fan of harem novels and I especially don’t like litRPG elements. However Cebelius creatively and skillfully works these into a fascinating story with a protagonist who is not at all like your typical hero. Mostly because he’s not a hero nor has any interest in being one. It’s incredibly refreshing to find myself genuinely wondering what an MC is going to do. The characters are extremely likeable which contrasts very well with the very VERY dark themes in this book. It’s certainly not for everyone but if you liked Mask of the Template or want a divergence from the typical while in familiar territory give this a shot. The next book can’t come soon enough. If the story carries itself but if it didn’t the narrators would. Rebecca woods and Daneil winiewski are a fantastic duo and put so much life into this production.

Definitely a departure from Terry Mack

This book took some time to get into. It took me a long while, more than halfway through the book, to truly get invested in the story. But it definitely ends on an intriguing note. I believe this is setting up a showdown for the ages.

Back to the wild and wonderful world of Celestine!

MINOR SPOILERS:



While I do miss Tess Irondale's voice when it came to the characters that she had voiced before, the new crew are fantastic and it is definitely helpful to have a male voice actor for the male characters.

The story so far is definitely a different style to the adventures of "The Boss", I am happy with how it is going so far and look forward to continuing on to the next book!

Different take from the other set of books

Honestly thought this was going to be terrible but it was actually not half bad the whole its just a game makes you see how twisted his whole mind really got after the beginning also anyone who doesn't know about his familiar look it up it really changes my view on his familiar compared to terry macks familiar Overall I do hope this series continues because there was less pointless scenes i do hope at sometime he figures out that his familiar is actually what saved his mind in the end

A Welcome Change of Pace

Abrum is the opposite of Terry Mac in the best way. Having a protagonist with serious flaws makes for an interesting contrast with the first 5 books, where noble crusader vanquishes evil. The approach in this book is darker, the cruelty of Celestine shown without remorse. However, watching templates overcome that cruelty will always be rewarding to read, no matter who wears the shoes.

interesting tie in to authors other work

loved the book and the genre. I really dig rpglit. a little different then the stories of terry mack but it does tie in nicely. I suggest going through all 6 of the celestine chronicles or at least the first 5 to appreciate this story fully. I admittedly enjoyed tess irondale in the other series a little more as a narrator but the two in this book are both pretty good and have a pretty wide range. worth the listen.

love this world

Changing man characters is exactly what this world needed, he is no Terry Mack and that's a good thing. While I have been enthralled on Terry's adventures I find myself having more fun with this book. This is someone flawed and relatable, we all know Abram and seeing the world through his lens is refreshing.

cannot wait for the next one.

Sequel series/side story

I got a real kick out of this story when it was revealed the Abram was the thing Eurayle found in Mack’s storyline. Just how it’s not going to be a evil run through of the last story

Glad to have a sequel

Love the story can barely stand the main character. Hope to see his realization of what Celestine really is, to change soon.

I like celestine

The author has created a wonderful world filled with battles and myths and literally every female wants to have sex with a human male( template). whats not to love. yes most want to kill him too but ....details.
sure the 2 templates that we know of on this world are whinny bitches. they are either uncaring unfair dicks with a stupid moral code or delusional psychos bent on revenge and power. not to mention a whiny whimp.
well the mc cant always be clark kent but the story wouldnt be any good if he was religious farm boy from Iowa. ( no offense , of course)
the narration was great as always. keep them coming.
