Fight. Grow. Thrive.

When ninety-percent of the Universe's population suddenly turned into monsters, Leo has no time to grieve.

He must push forward and find what is left of his family. If that means sacrificing what remains of his humanity and embracing his new reality where a mysterious System is his only true ally, then so be it.

After all, in a world where almost everything wants to kill him, he has to decide if he can do what it takes.

Adapt or Die. Kill or be killed.

A Universe of Bloody Evolution offers a long journey of progression, LitRPG, and exploration of a dying Multiverse. Listen as Leo slowly sheds his human skin to wear one of a beast straight out of the depth of the Void. Embrace the path of Evolution in a series perfect for fans of The Primal Hunter, System Apocalypse, and Hell Difficulty Tutorial.

I didn't think it was to bad, but wasn't amazing. the narration is solid and it has some promise but takes awhile to get there.

Not much fighting more like an angst filled teenage drama unless you like adult crybabies

This LitRPG takes place in a much darker world than a lot of the post apocalyptic LitRPGs that I have read. The way the MC evolves makes for some unique experiences. The game system was original and the story was entertaining. I’m interested to see where things go next. The narration was very well done.

ok so I got 3.5 hours into this story and just stopped, it just drones on very little action, lots of inner dialogue lots of nothing happening. part of it is story and part of it is narration, I'd probably be better off reading than listening, though all that inner dialogue would also be skipped in the book . I listen to books between 3-4.5 speed this one easily started at 1.5 for me...cover and synopsis pulled me in. maybe I'll revisit on a slow day.

this is so boring

Why does the MC always need some tragic backstory or PTSD about something? Can't we get a competent mc that has tons of fun during a apocalypse?
