About this listen
Between Heaven and Hell, we are Legion.
Life isn’t what it used to be in Earth’s megacities. Finally, having enough of eating crumbs and trying to stay alive, I decided to take hold of my destiny and join one of the space-faring legions. Getting accepted into a legion turned out to be a hell of a lot harder than I thought - until I met the Devil himself.
Signing a contract and offering my soul in exchange for a chance at escaping Earth and a promise of power, I left it all behind only to find myself in a far worse situation among the sadistic officers aboard the Steel Legion.
After a gruesome turn, a chance for revenge comes along and gives me the opportunity to take care of the corrupted group of officers and their followers and ending their evil ways. However, the awakened monstrosity that I’ve become is an extremely important chess piece in this epic game between Heaven, Hell, and Earth’s forces. They will stop at nothing to retake me and the Legion, dead or alive.
Warning: Legion is an adult-oriented sci-fi space opera litRPG containing gore, foul language, and other disturbing content. It doesn't contain any explicit sexual scenes, though.

Story5 out of 5 stars 5,697
Jin Rou wanted to be a cultivator. A man powerful enough to defy the heavens. A master of martial arts. A lord of spiritual power. Unfortunately for him, he died, and now I’m stuck in his body. Arrogant Masters? Heavenly Tribulations? All that violence and bloodshed? Yeah, no thanks. I’m getting out of here. Farm life sounds pretty great. Tilling a field by hand is fun when you’ve got the strength of ten men—though maybe I shouldn’t have fed those Spirit Herbs to my pet rooster.

Story5 out of 5 stars 12
A world on the precipice of the apocalypse. A secret forged in the flames of war. A chance to start over. For John Sutton, only one of those three things matters. Retired from a decade of brutal war, he wants nothing more than a quiet pastoral life while he does his best to stem the steady increase of his Doom Points before they hit 100, signaling the start of the end. He’s been given a small farm on the outskirts of the empire as a thanks for his service, but no matter how far he travels, it's impossible to escape the war's devastating effects on the world.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 35
Witch hunts have plagued the kingdom of Olyanath for decades. Thousands were slain due to the king’s paranoia of women who practice Senspiritic magic. No more. Nye and his companions have seen enough of murder and misogyny. Fifteen years have passed since he joined the witch hunters, and now, at long last, an opportunity to destroy them from the inside reveals itself. An opportunity to overthrow the king and end his reign of cruelty. But 15 years of pretense have taken a toll. The strive for vengeance has steered Nye toward a path of violence and villainy.

Beset by nightmarish creatures from the caverns below, Jason’s tribe is slowly being whittled away. He dreams of joining the glorious Shadowfront and battling the enemy known only as the Void. But, as a lowly Pastfinder, he is denied that path - until he chances upon the ruins of a long dead civilization and discovers a forgotten form of cultivation, one fueled by the ghosts of centuries-lost history and powerful, forbidden knowledge. If his fellow tribesmen learn of his new power's cursed origins, the Void will be the least of his concerns.

For millennia, the Weave, an alliance of species, have fought to resist the telepathic Amplitur, who strive to unite all self-aware life-forms in their great "Purpose." The Weave is slowly losing ground, but for both sides, warfare focuses more on outthinking and outmaneuvering your foe than destruction. In fact, most regard violence as hideously barbaric, and even the thought of harming another sentient being is beyond imagining.

Will refused to admit to the HR lady at Radical Interactive that he'd never played their debut virtual reality MMORPG The Realm. With the company's failed attempt at entering the gaming industry, they switched their sights to focus on smaller scale educational programs. Being a beta tester for Radical Interactive was not the dream job that Will had envisioned, but he had hoped it would get his foot in the door to one day becoming a graphic designer for the company. He never realized that he was literally signing his life away.

A Fun Dark Scifi Tale with Gamelit Elements
Legion is a self-contained dark sci-fi tale with gamelit and harem elements. The main character is trying to be a good man and leader while fighting for freedom and independence from the corrupt forces of Earth/Humanity, Heaven and Hell after he makes a literal deal with the Devil. Plenty of action (gets a bit gory in places) and what may be commentary by analogy on politics, business and religion as an individual fights for free will, free thought and decent treatment for himself and those who want it. Good for fans of space-opera sci-fi and LitRPG/Gamelit as long as you can stand (or are a fan of) occasional gore and harem scenes.

Mixed bag, but it’s a good long book.
Is he an alcoholic alpha male or a “nice guy” who has never touched alcohol? Does he like killing and oppression or does he hate violence and people having power over others? You’ll never know because it changes.
In the end I think he is the (not literally) trench coat and fedora wearing “nice guy” who says “whatever” every 5 minutes who has adhd.
Kinda like the book steel world but the MC is cringe worthy AF. I would love to see more of this world with angels and demons and gods.
Narration is ok, he has small issues here or there like: so and so is screeching in a high pitched voice, and the narration is still deep and calm. Or someone says “you’re souly mistaken” instead of “your sorely mistaken”.

Ambitious
The book was neat and had some really cool ideas. Just felt a bit overstuffed from getting new things without developing the old things. The characters in the story are a big one dimensional as well. It was an awesome story though with interesting progression ideas and narration was great.

A deal with the Devil, how could that go wrong?
A deal with the Devil, Alien allies and enemies, mechanical intelligence, and a battle between Gods this LITRPG Space Opera has it all. The warning on the book clearly states that there are no explicit sexual scenes and while that is true reader be forewarn this book has a harem in all except the explicit details.
Cain a drunk living in poverty makes a deal with the devil to get himself into the Steel Legion with a promise to give him a chance to be given an Armament. Thrust into the Legion into less than ideal circumstances Cain trie to make the most out of his situation but soon finds that he cannot tolerate the holier than thou arrogance he gets from some of the people in charge. At every turn Cain seems to gain new abilities and new enemies in equal measures. This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.
If you like Space Operas and LitRPG and can tolerate (or enjoy) some harem aspects this is the book for you. Devin Cain does a good job at weaving an ever evolving tale with some interesting but yet familiar Mythos.

Interesting blend of space sci-fi
This is an interesting blend of space sci-fi and religious themes,
The story did get gory in sections, and went quite dark.
In some ways it was like listening to someone play a video game, but i think that is part of the sub-genre of LitRPG.
Over all i did like the book, and I'm wondering if the author will continue the story in a sequel, there is definitely enough material left for at least one.

Bizarre and a mess
This book feels like a months/years long RPG campaign that the DM didn't know what the final goal would be so it just keeps meandering and stuff being thrown at it willy-nilly until everyone got tired, the game petered out and they all got together for one last session to end it.
It's never explained why the devil (or Devil, or Lucifer) wants to help the main character who seems to want to be a positive influence in the universe. That's not how the Devil or demons work.
I really wanted to like this book, because I like the concepts and teh world that was built could have been amazing, but it feels hallow, 2 dimensional and not put together enough.
I received a copy of this book in exchange for a fair review.

Meh
I stuck with this book all the way of part one, but it felt like it never took off. The characters where flat, the story was lack luster, and the voice acting for several of the characters was grating.

Can barely be considered LitRPG
First of all, if you are looking for even a minimal amount from the LitRPG genre, this book is not for you. Only a select few (less than a dozen), in the entire book, have access to the ability to "level". It is actually called a 'rank up' and the abilities a person receives is different from person to person. They are given 2 new skills at each new rank. It is not even really a choice on which skill is better than the other, since a person can change the selected skill once per day. The way a person "ranks up" changes from person to person. Some include sex, to be beaten to a bloody pulp, knowledge, and the MC needs to feast on the heart and brains of people. The entire leveling process seems a bit arbitrary and I, as the reader, have no idea if a person is close to ranking up or if they are a long ways off.
The MC is not very likeable. He, at least to me, seems sexist, a bit of a pig, and a bit wishy-washy. This coupled with the fact that he becomes a mass murderer, planet killer, and cannibal, while still trying to portray him as the "good guy" is kind of upsetting. When he is in fact the "good guy" as compared to everyone else, just makes the entire thing depressing. The MC makes a deal with the literal Devil not once but twice, and then tries to go back on the deal and is upset when the Devil has him perform evil actions. He says that he wants to be a good guy and fix the wrongs of this universe, but then kills 14 Million (maybe Billion as I can't really remember off of the top of my head) innocent SENTIENT creatures by destroying the planet they are living on.
A major part of the world is that angels and other celestial beings must keep their word. Should they break an oath or promise, there power will be severely weakened. The MC eventually becomes one such being and yet consistently breaks oaths by defying the promises he made to the devil. According to what was explained to us, the reader, this should have caused some major issues for the MC, but he seems to be unaffected by the system.
The narration was wonderful, especially when there is such a large cast of characters. However, the book itself does not follow any logic and the "rules" of the universe don't seem to apply to the MC, which is incredibly frustrating. I will not be purchasing book 2 of this series.
