My name's Noah Kilmartin. I'm from Ruddock, Ohio, and I'm absolutely, 100 percent unqualified to save the universe from the slavering demonic hordes of the super evil queen Lilith. Too bad nobody asked my opinion. All I've got to do is pass five lethal trials that'll prove I'm the universe's last chance at salvation. To do so, I'll have to lean hard on those three years of Okinawan jiu-jutsu classes I took in high school, learn to wield my new magic sword, and, oh yeah - select five women to flesh out my team.

One of The Best
Reviewed: 08-06-24
This is one of the best I've heard in the genre. Its not some superficial power fantasy crap. Its original, with realistic character development and a spectacular main character arc. The plot is excellent, and the narrator is emotive and engaging. while i can understand why some would dislike the narrator, I think he's a great fit. I haven't enjoyed a book of this genre so much saince Celestine Chronicles.

Up until now, Montana's gotten by pretending he's a regular guy. Well, a regular, overpowered, god-defeating guy who maybe just learned his hair is in all the wrong places. But the big city is calling, and in order to succeed there, Montana must actually prove himself a deserving duke. If Glaton finds him lacking, Coggeshall could be forced into even further isolation. But if Glaton falls in love with him, the regular guy from Motor City could end up with limitless power, in charge of it all. And just like that, the fate of the entire Empire is in Montana's hands.

Drew has finally got it all together. First, there is his pocket dimension, a quickly growing area based around his good buddy, Tree. Then there are his students, six random kids he...liberated. Finally, there is the dragon stalking him. Cultivating, sailing, staying ahead of trouble. That’s his plan as he moves into the creation of his solid Core. Seducing a dragon was a total accident. Nuking an Island? Let’s not focus on the details. They started it. What’s the best thing to do while getting his magical career and development back on track? Play pirate, of course!

Reviewed: 04-14-21
Ok, so, like the last one, this book sucks from a critical perspective. The mc is overpowered so there's no tension. there's not even a real villain, and while im fine with erotica, the random overly detailed sex between the mc and dragon lady doesn't fit the rest of the story at all. All in all the author is incompetent. The plot is boring, the characters are unbelievable, and the writing style is chaotic. Now, that's why its not good, but why is it entertaining? Becouse its a cultivation story, and the narrator is decent... thats all.

Poorly written power fantasy, or secret masterwork
Reviewed: 03-29-21
very entertaining, and engaging, but the main character is still an unrelatable sociopath. Also the narration has a wierd way of glorifying his lack of pity and empathy, which i thought was annoying until i had the thought that maybe the narration is completely worded as if the narrator shares the mc's believes. Just a possible hint that this is Semi 1st person, which would make it way cooler than it actually is.
at the end of the day the story is a power fantasy with really cool concepts, but probably nothing more than that.

Its no master piece, far too much exposition, generally average story telling. its saving grace is that the world is very interesting. i think i like the previous book more because it was more personal in regards to the mc's perspective, still, i enjoyed this one for what it was.

He was born anew in a world where martial arts were indistinguishable from magic. He only received a neuronet and meaningless desires from his past life. What lies ahead? He dreamed of adventure and freedom, but those dreams were taken away from him. The same way his mother, father, and sister had been taken away. They took the kingdom, they took his own destiny. But he is willing to wage a war, against the whole world if need be, to bring everything back.

I'm Conflicted
Reviewed: 11-05-20
On one hand, the narrator is bad. like, really bad. so bad that it makes me want to vomit sometimes. He would be passable if he didn't have the wierd habit of whispering whenever a character raised their voice. On the other hand, if you can get over that, the story isn't fairly compelling. Full of flaws from a writing perspective, but compelling. I would even rate it 4 stars if the narrator was at least slightly below average, and 5 if the narrator was good enough to pick up some of the slack left by the writer. All in all I imagine it would be better to just read it.

Alot of people are saying to skip this one, but don't. it may not be the best in the series but even as the worst in a series like this its still far better than the average book. There is less character development and more rpg script, but that can be interesting too, and the character development is replaced with hard core action, so its alright. Plus, there is alot of story progression, so if you do skip, you'll miss some stuff in the next one.

I went through some reviews before getting this and found a few that talked about how annoying and weak the main character is, wich i assumed wouldn't be an issue. turns out i couldn't even finish the story becouse of this problem. I cant stand the MC, mainly becouse he suddenly changed without any character progression. Im done.
