About this listen

Days and Tiers pass as Matt Liz and Aster leave Minkalla. But no matter how much they just want to relax and recover they have the ever present time-crunch of the path of ascension nipping at their heels. To compound issues, they are about to reach Tier 15. That means Aster needs to leave for the Bond Academy for at least 10 years. Can they get far enough ahead of the curve to manage, or will this roadblock cause the trio to stumble?

Don't miss Book 8 of this action-packed fantasy adventure that blends everything you love about LitRPG with Xianxia.

About the series: This is a mix between LitRPG and Xianxia. It's like a car that looks like a LitRPG with dungeons and skills, but the interior and engine are all Xianxia. It features a magic system and progression system that are logically and internally consistent, as well as realistic fight scenes and a rational MC.

It should be book 7 book 7 should have been the same book as book 6

Overall fine but I wold have liked when working with something apple gild that they wold have gotten a blood ring like a ring that is cosmeticly a copper wire ring that is hollow and has glass as the main part with copper wire ringing it and the blood appears in the ring and it slowly fills up and have it stump the ai because it tellaports in to the ring and hyper condenses the blood but have the glass be blood glass so that it is not magical for it to more eseyly trick the ai and I’m writing this at midnight so if I’m spelling enetheng wrong I’m sorry

Fun upgrades and new adventures with old friends. A few exciting big reveals. Fun bonus chapters.

This story was mostly set up for the next big plot event. It definitely had some fun adventures and showed another aspect of The Path, but it did not feel like the story had as much weight as past installments. Overall, it felt like a good catchup with friends.

it was enjoyable

this book is mostly slice of life. not a lot of action. just what everybody is doing in the lead-up to the war the previous books have mentioned. it's still very enjoyable though.

Great continuation of the story

I really enjoyed it. I've read ahead on RR, so I knew what to expect, but was excited to get to listen to the narration. Which as always, was excellent. While I do wish some of the aftermath of Minkala had been contained in the last book, I really loved the overall story. It's a bit of bridge leading into the next main story arch that's been building up, but I still felt like there was plenty happening and had fun hearing about Asters time at the academy. Also for anyone wondering about the first chapter others have commented on, with short snapshots of seemingly unrelated side characters. Their appearance will make more sense in the next book or 2, and I think they're included here just to give a bigger picture of what's going on in the greater universe in a chronological time frame. As well as peek into the society of the other great powers. As usual I can't wait to listen to the next installment, and I hope it comes sooner rather than later.
