From bestselling LitRPG author Seth Ring—creator of the Titan and Battle Mage Farmer series—Advent is the first in an epic new series of alien contact, fast-paced military action, and thrilling adventure that will leave listeners hungry for more.

All his life, Mark Fields has dreamed of joining the Defense Force to fight the vicious, alien Exlian, just like the rest of his renowned family. So far, he’s … a dishwasher, trapped in a dead-end job with no powers, no money, and even fewer friends.

Then an encounter with a dying woman changes everything—granting him the abilities he needs to join the training camps—and his life finally feels like it’s turning around, faster than a movie martial arts montage (just ignore the weird cat).

But the Exlian are voracious and myriad, and there’s more to Mark’s new powers than just leveling up. With the pressure mounting, it doesn’t take him long to realize the Exlian aren’t the only sinister threat lurking within the city …

In this first installment of the Exlian Syndrome series, you must fight the monsters … or become one yourself.

It was interesting, and well written. But, for me, some parts were dragged out a bit.

It was OK

This is a really interesting new world. The setup is fairly unique with a lot of detail and one can tell that Mr. Ring has put a lot of work into building this and he had managed to clearly hint at several deep plots by various actors, without giving away what they real are.
I'm looking forward to watching it unfold.

An excellent new series!

Really enjoyed the story and the cat was definitely the best character of the story. the MC was good even if extremely naive is some stuff but can easily move pass that because he is capable and hard working. the villains are the cliche villains like in any super heroes story where the city is besieged by extremely large numbers of enemies. and the epilogue made me rolled my eyes tbh with how obvious it was with the "reveal" of the one pulling the strings in the shadows. Will still get book 2 when it comes out

Really good

Seth Ring is phenomenal at world-building and character development. I don’t know how he does it, but he continues to create new worlds and characters in a way that feels both immersive and effortless. With every book, I find myself fully invested in the story, and Advent is no exception.

I have loved every world and story Seth Ring has created, and this one is no different. I highly recommend this book and eagerly await the next installment in the series—hopefully, with many more books to come!
