About this listen

Steel Foundations asks the question: What if a 16th-century German knight was thrust into a world of magic, gods, and monsters, forced to navigate the unknown while mourning the loss of everything he once knew?

Leon Jäger, a stoic and unyielding knight, lives by a simple code: repay kindness with a river of ambrosia, and slights with total destruction. When an unexplainable force pulls him into a foreign world where magic flows and monsters roam, his creed will be tested like never before.

Struggling to comprehend powers beyond his imagination, Leon must master the mystical art of Qi cultivation while hiding his abilities from those who might exploit them. As he maneuvers through this strange land of gods, magic, and Cultivation, Leon must not only survive but carve out his place—without losing himself in the process.

Steel Foundations blends the epic drama of Western fantasy with the intricate philosophy of Chinese cultivation, wrapped in the fast-paced thrills of LitRPG. Swords, sorcery, and mystical forces converge in this unique isekai adventure, where Eastern tradition meets a knight's resolve.

I wanted to like this book but its not for me it reads like an anime where the mc gets op abilities and gets items or skills whenever its needed and doesn't really have to learn his skill they are just given to him. If i was in my teens id have loved this book but now i cant stand these kind of books but that's just my grumpy self talking if you love anime you'll probably like this book

This genre is definitely not my go to. That being said, I was hooked after chapter 2. I can't stop listening to this. I typically only listen to books or podcasts on my way to/from work, but this one has been played at home as well! I hope the follow on books make it to audible soon!

AMAZING!!!

he never seems to question the meddling of the gods and just goes along with what ever that one goddess manipulates him into, I take issue and it makes me feel some kinda way. aside from that I loved the mc, and will be continuing the series in the books that are now available. if you are on the fence its a good listen, I was and I don't regret getting it.

A VERY GOOD STORY JUST ONE ISSUE

to put it plainly. take the concept of a stoic german knight with just a pinch of occasional snark, and you have leon. the occasional jabs come out of left field but feel just right for his character so much, so i have spit out my drink once or twice. nothing too complicated, and a good action story continues on as i listen, only 4 hours into the book all i have to say is armen taylor did an excellent job with performance in this book

a new gem for cultivation

I was blown away by this book I wish the book had 20 more hours for me to listen too. Great narration, amazing concept, well liked characters, and lots of possibilities to come. I’m already counting the days for the next book.

It’s just….Amazing

The main character sounds like an insert when describing him less of a knight and sometimes an entitled noble. The world building as well could use some work.

The voice acting was good as well as the general concept.
