About this listen
The end of the world with dragons and Levels
The world ends in a slew of blue notification boxes, bringing with it a game-like existence including monsters and Classes. Now, John has to make his way from Kluane National Park in the Yukon to Whitehorse through monster infested forests. But, that's not enough; because he'll need to help rebuild civilization itself around the System, aliens and monsters. And, as always, humanity will be its own greatest enemy.
This collection contains the first three books of the highly rated System Apocalypse series (Life in the North, Redeemer of the Dead and the Cost of Survival) and completes the first arc—Whitehorse and the Yukon and the first year of the apocalypse.
The System Apocalypse contains elements of games like level ups, experience, enchanted materials, a sarcastic spirit, mecha, a beguiling dark elf, monsters, minotaurs, a fiery red head and a semi-realistic view on violence and its effects. Does not include harems.

For Fool and Jackal, the System Apocalypse was a chance to start again. A chance to rise, and be who they were meant to be. Now, they're trying to offer others the same opportunities as part of a secret organization helping humanity survive the System. Today's mission? Nothing big, just your typical save-the-princess quest. But when you're the Acolyte of a Trickster god, typical is the last thing you should expect. Just ask Fool's cat.

Story
Ominous obelisks land on Earth with a single message: Join the games to give humanity a fighting chance to survive... Or roll over and die. Too bad for them, Warren isn't the rolling-over type. Cancer may be kicking Warren's a$$, but he's not about to let aliens destroy his home and everything he loves (which is mostly just his dog, Buck). Besides, what does he have to lose? Better to die with sword in hand, bleeding out from a head wound than in some hospital bed...

Dropped into a dungeon of monsters and strange magics, would you survive in a game where to lose means death?

Story
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.

One faithful day, Henry Tsien finds a briefcase and a ring within it. Within hours, his world has changed, as a helpful jinn introduces him to a hidden world. What can an old-school gamer given magic do in a world filled with age-old, hidden, supernatural creatures? The Hidden Wishes series is an urban fantasy take on the gamlit genre. It is much lighter in terms of "statistics" and its game system.

Dying the first time sucked. Matt's trying to avoid a repeat performance. For Matt, joining Earth's last line of defense was exactly the purpose he needed. Saving the world could be fun—if you don’t mind a little soul-crushing responsibility. But being killed and reincarnated into the battlefield chaos of a 4x game world wasn't what he had in mind. The world map is made out of hexagrams, the units are semi-sentient and his opponents have a head start. As if that wasn't enough, there's no instruction manual for this nightmare.

Story
Miles “Shrug” Lindstrom received a quest years ago. He was the only person who could see the window, and in addition to the quest, he could also see a countdown to the end of the world. Part of him was hoping that he was just insane and had been hallucinating when he first started seeing the window. Then again, if the quest was just his imagination, he was going to be massively in debt with a rental full of useless junk. But when the countdown finally stops, what happens is nothing like he could have imagined.

I really enjoyed the concept of what Tao Wong was trying to create. Unfortunately, the character development was a bit lacking. The MC never seemed to learn any real lessons, just kept talking about his pent-up anger. I'm 3 books in and decided to see if the story gets better in the next book. On the plus side, Tao Wong does an incredible job giving descriptions of the battle scenes.

just a good book
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
The story overall is great with many supporting characters that make the story, despite their relative small contributions. The fighting, story arch in general, and the world building is all pretty good.
The MC is what stops this from being a 5 star read though and may in some people's opinion push it as low as 2 or 3. He is am emotional wreck...which isn't unheard of in these books. But it's clear he was messed up well before the start of the book. His emotional maturity is probably about at the toddler level, his go to response to anything he doesn't like, doesn't understand, or can't deal with is to throw a tantrum, lash out, then run.
Now I am a huge fan of MCs overcoming themselves and learning and growing, but by the end of the 3rd book he has barely improved. He doesn't really make much effort to do so himself either. From his lack of understanding and intelligence, he default feels betrayed and further fuels his trust issues, not trusting those that he should. I was ready to drop the series again due to this by the last chapter in the book as he once again displays this flawed character in the very last chapter and is "gasp" running again.
The only reason I will probably read book 4 is because of his friends that despite how he is about to abandon them, they don't let him and decide to leave with him.
Now don't get me wrong, the flawed MC does make some great fight scenes as he rages out of control and almost pathetically hilarious as he can't understand the feelings of others towards him. And there is some growth on his character, mostly due to his friends and Spirit companion not giving up on him, like he gives up on himself and them. With 1 credit these 3 books was definitely worth the cost.
There is some hope as if it was the MC at the beginning of the book he wouldn't even have let them accompany him at the end, but because he does. I feel he is heading in the right direction and hopefully we are not disappointed in book 4.
A mixed bag
