About this listen
The Initiation has begun. As the universe merges into the multiverse, its inhabitants are thrust into a trial designed to prepare them for the sweeping changes that will redefine existence itself.
Alistair’s life is turned upside down when he is abruptly separated from his friends and family. As the universe slowly transforms and new laws take hold, everyone within his universe is cast into the trial—a crucible of survival and transformation. Before being set on his path, Alistair encounters a system avatar—a brief and enigmatic guide who offers little explanation, guidance, or aid before sending him and the rest of his universe into the unknown.
Stranded on a trial world, Alistair must fight to survive. Delving into dungeons, hunting great beasts, and navigating the diverse Trial Worlds and Subspaces, he begins a desperate quest to reunite with his loved ones.
Along the way, he finds his soulmate—a demoness from another world. Together, they face the trial, forge bonds, and grow stronger as they uncover what the future holds for them and the rest of their universe.

In a world where runes hold unimaginable power, mere mortal and gifted artisan Nate must harness arcane magic to navigate treacherous paths, reveal the hidden truths of his own past, and discover the workings of the illusive ‘System’. No big deal. Emboldened by only his penknife and a weirdly profound understanding of runic sorcery, Nate must uncover if the path he has been thrust upon may spare his earthly existence. After all, why only leave your mark on one world… when you might leave it on two?

Zane was driving home from work when the world changed. Thousands of dungeons spawned at once, taking up every inch of Earth—including the road he’s driving on. He wakes up to a totaled car and a broken leg, facing down a goblin trying to spear him through the guts. And that's just the start of it. But to Zane’s surprise, he finds himself enjoying this brutal new world. While others cower and hide, he goes on the hunt. He unlocks a unique Berserker skill—the more damage he takes, the stronger he gets.

Ragnarok is near and the Vikings of Midgard have failed to uphold their duty to prevent it. With time running out, the All-Father Odin himself, searches all the worlds for one last warrior who might hold back the destruction threatening Nine Realms and every world created. Magnus’s death caught the All-Father’s one good eye. As an Army Ranger, he knew he was placing himself in the line of fire every day, and knew a day could come that cost him his life. What he didn't want was the rest of his team would be wiped out with him, the worst disaster the Rangers had experienced in decades.

I used to be the greatest Earth Mage in my world. The head of the entire Order of Architects. But the older you get, the more you come to realize that at some point, you need to retire, so that you can have the chance to enjoy a peaceful life and to cede your place to the young, some of whom have already turned two thousand years old . . .So that's what I did. But I failed to account for one thing: during the course of my long life, I'd accumulated too many enemies, and they had decided to spoil my retirement. So they died along with me. And I hope their deaths were final. But mine was not!

Syl was given a choice by Gramps when they died. Reincarnate as a regular person or embark on a daring experiment. Driven by a desire to honor Gramps and a sense of adventure, Syl chose the latter... only to awaken as a lowly slime. A farmed slime. The life of a farmed slime was cruel. Syl was constantly at the mercy of humans, a slime whose only purpose was to eat and recycle garbage. The threat of lethal core-destroying knives wielded by innocent children was a constant shadow. This was not the life Syl had envisioned. So, they made a daring escape to the wilderness!

Story
Jason and his friends just wanted to spend a week at the lake house. Time to relax, hang out, and catch up on old times. Then the System arrived. It only took a few hours for their world to become a real-life roleplaying game; trading some downtime for the need to learn new skills and powers while trying to defend their new home, their families, and survive. They don’t know the rules. They don’t know what’s coming next. What they do know is; they need to reinforce and expand their fort while protecting it, keep leveling up, and explore a dangerous new world.

I used to be the greatest Earth Mage in my world. The head of the entire Order of Architects. But the older you get, the more you come to realize that at some point, you need to retire, so that you can have the chance to enjoy a peaceful life and to cede your place to the young, some of whom have already turned two thousand years old . . .So that's what I did. But I failed to account for one thing: during the course of my long life, I'd accumulated too many enemies, and they had decided to spoil my retirement. So they died along with me. And I hope their deaths were final. But mine was not!

Whereas a good story draws back on the boring details and repetitive task to lean more into the action, this story does the opposite. Combat, exploration, and learning interesting things about the universe are shoved so far to the side that they are forgotten about. Instead we spend hours of people saying hello, zero stakes dialogue which could have been a text message, and the mc over analyzing everything boring around him.
The few scenes which I think are supposed to be interesting are trivial nonsense blown way out of proportion to make it seem relevant. At several points the MC whines for minutes about his family pets dying in the apocalypse. Do we learn what the pets are named, if they are his or his sisters, or anything beyond he may have a cat? No, but that does not stop him from literally crying (not a joke, he actually cries) when he learns that some of his pets are gone.
He also worries he is falling in love with his love interest too quickly and suspects someone may be affecting his mind. Then he meets a complete stranger (of a new race at that) who tells him vague details about the concept of love and soul resonance. Does he do any research of his own, verify anything this person said was true, or even look into the new race to see if they are a bunch of scheming troublemakers? Nope, instead he completely forgets all of his worries about the love interest and they are in bed together the next chapter.
Contrast that with his buddy pouring his heart out about having to go home and pretend to be happy in an oppressive ruling class of elitist who have enslaved multiple races on his home planet. Instead of us learning interesting things about this potential future problem and having an emotional scene between two battle brothers whose lives depend on one another, the entire conversation is summarized in a paragraph and then it cuts to the pair getting drunk and moving on.
In the second book the MC even is warned that he is falling behind because he is spending too much time not improving in a meaningful way. He constantly identifies people almost double his level. What does he do after receiving this warning and realizing he is slacking? Go take a tour of an engineers workshop and waste more time of course!
That is essentially the rest of the book past the first few chapters, the interesting stuff is glossed over and summarized, while the things expounded on are useless or repeated enough to hold any meaning.
Narration was fine, the male narrator irritated me in the beginning but I think I was just being biased since it is my first time with this narrator. Female narration was great, no complains there.
Way too much boring fluff and nothing drama.
