Welcome my friends!

Welcome...to “The Land"!

The battle of the dead was won, but at a great cost. Sion, leader of the Mist Village, was left with only pain and regret as Richter was claimed by the abyss.

What no one but the abandoned chaos seed knows is that he narrowly avoided the curse of the lich Singh, a curse that still hangs above his head. Now, surrounded by miles of darkness and tons of crushing rock, Richter has to find his way back into the light.

The only problem is that this monster of a man is being pursued by monsters, a demon, and his own foolish choices. Faced with all the dangers of the deep dark, what will Richter say when the buried horrors of The Land come a calling and asked if he's paid his dues?

Well he'll look right back, stare that horror in the eye, and say, "Yes sir, the check is in the mail!"

Welcome back my friends! Welcome back...to The Land!

Featured Article: The top 100 series of all time


The feeling of discovering that your favorite new listen is actually the start of a series is euphoric. That you can immediately hit play and re-enter a beloved new world, or love story, or era from history is a gift to the devoted listener. But how to pick just 100 of these unique and immersive listening journeys? We defined a series as having a minimum of three books, and—after some debate—we decided the titles had to be anchored in fiction. From YA to horror to historical fiction, from fresh voices to seminal tales, hours of discovery await.

first off, I love the series. every other book in it has been great. but when your most memorable moments to me are THAT chapter (still laughing) then a question, I see that as a problem.

SPOILERS

YOU WERE WARNED

hopefully we won't see this style of story where there is only a couple interactions with other characters, because all that dialogue was greatly missed. and having it all be replaced with multiple chapters of log reading, a convention, and a "summoning" wasn't enjoyable

this wasn't a good representation of the land

Wait for next book and read them together, not sure why this one got published on it own. Podehl does a great job as usual!

Incomplete did not advance story arc

I love this series, and I love this book!!! Wonderfully narrated as always too!! While the previous books have been a frantic pile up of quests and adventure, this book takes a turn and focuses more on the main character. A great change of pace that doesn't leave you overwhelmed with more and more stuff having been piled on to the established series arc. Can't wait for more!!

A refreshing change of pace!

This is a good continuation of the story. It starts off where the last book left off. Considering how long the last book was it feels more of an epilogue. Rictor spends forever going over notifications and you can tell that AK put a huge brake on Rictor's power ascension. That said he steals a lot of concepts from more recent litrpg noteable divine dungeon. After that it picks back up and gets more enjoyable. I applaud AK for putting in "checks and balances" otherwise Rictor would be so OP the plot would be irrelevant. I can't help but wish for more and will be waiting for the next book. Hopefully it won't take years again.

Spoiler Alert
As an example of above the imp from book 1 shows up and demands rictor's debt be paid but then he spends over an hour ascending and forming a "power core" and ascending to a higher "tier". He does the same shtick where he presents options and pours over options for only 1 option to be actually viable, the first being useless, the second would kill him right away, and the third being so unlikely to succeed to not be considered.

Good Continuation

having pre-ordered this book I was expectant with the story. I have listened to all 7 of the prior books, and with book 8 I was expecting the story to progress as such. Sadly Aleron Kong did not meet with that expectation. Now stories don't have to be long in terms of days to be good, 13 hours is an example of that, but when a lot of the story is repeated detail it can get boring quickly.

In a similar sense because the actual book expanding only 5 days it meant that Nick Podehl's extensive voice range was underutilized. The 7 other books in the series had enough characters talking that his talent was shown quite well. From elderly Asians, to sensual vixens Nick's voice acting with Aleron's dialogue meant each conversation felt like there were real people chatting; but being turned into a survival story made his conversations with others few and far between.

good book nonetheless, but more of a beach episode than an actual story bearing book.
