Publisher's summary

Reborn into a world of magical skills and superhuman abilities, a young man battles the forces of darkness, in this action-packed, post-apocalyptic fantasy.

On Earth, Zeke Blackwood was a star athlete who devoted his every waking minute to baseball . . . before his tragic death and the devastation of the planet. Eons later, he was resurrected in a magical realm known as the Radiant Isles. There, Zeke survived two years of unrelenting combat through sheer grit and determination. Battling trolls in a labyrinth of caverns, he gained superhuman abilities with every victory, ultimately equipping him for a war between good and evil.

Now, along with his companions—a beautiful archer named Abby and Pudge, a dire bear cub who’s become soul-bonded to him—Zeke engages in quests to help the defenseless against the monstrous creatures and near-immortal beings who prey upon them. But his latest selfless act has brought him into conflict with the Crystal Spiders, an assassins’ guild that’s been kidnapping people for some unknown purpose.

Before Zeke can unravel that mystery, he’s summoned by Silas Martel—a monk of the mighty Temple of the Sun Goddess and spymaster for its head priestess and ruler of the Radiant Isles, demigod Lady Constance—for a dangerous mission. He must rescue Constance’s daughter from Abraham Micayne, Lord of the Dead. The treacherous task will take Zeke, Abby, and Pudge through zombie-infested lands, with the Crystal Spiders in hot pursuit. And even though every brush with death only makes Zeke more powerful, nothing can prepare him for the macabre horrors of Micayne’s dominion . . .

The second volume of the hit LitRPG fantasy series—with more than 700,000 views on Royal Road—now available on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and Audible!

Liked literally everything but abby

The first book was probably the best book I’ve listened to in a while and when i saw the next book was coming out next month I preordered it and well i like the second book but the author really needs to figure out what to do with abby because so far she is becoming the toxic partner in the relationship besides that every other character i enjoyed like tucker the mad alchemist and talia the undead/living slaughterhouse

Enjoyable

While i did enjoyed the book and found it entertaining, i think book 1 was better on this one zeke just seems/feels less than on B1 also i don't know how to feel about him going from a barbarian/berserker style of fighting to that of a tank. one thing that kinda annoyed me was how many times this line was repeated: Abby learned her lesson. hope book 3 is better

is the MC overpowered or not

Spending 25 hours talking about how strong zeke is and then having him almost die from falling down a slight incline is just ridiculous. He broke half his body parts and got a concussion from gravity ?

Mid

Very little progression. Character behavior is erratic and inconsistent. The alchemist is supposedly a sociopath but acts altruistic. The “direbear“ acts as a moral compass. Etc

Book 1 had a very “Defiance of the Fall” feeling, initial dungeon mishap resulting in a very OP MC (MC name is even “Zeke Blackwood” instead of “Zach Atwood”). But the smooth progression pulled off in “Defiance” and the consistent behavior and motivations of characters in that series are lacking here. Zeke is something of a Mary Sue berzerking barbarian. He is a brainless club-swinger who also is a deep scholar of runecraft. Zeke happily sexes up his companion Allie on the reg, but can’t even bring himself to call her his “girlfriend” despite internally professing love-like feelings for her. The behavioral inconsistencies just create friction points in the flow of the narrative.

Exhausting

Enough with the recycled moral dilemmas. Please, get back to flow and pace of book 1.

A good building second book

I've read a bunch of Abby this and Abby that in the reviews. I'm pretty sure those are from folks that have never been in a actual relationship. Sure, it goes into depth of the inner struggle, but I find it relatable. looking forward to the next book. I just hope we see more progress from the MC.
