Publisher's summary

A raging fire devoured the world of the Ancients. Where once great cities stood, now there's nothing but ruins submerged in the sand. But even in this endless wasteland, there's a place for life and hope. However, those who find new life here value nothing other than strength.

Enjoying his childhood, he paid no attention to the world, its secrets, or to those around him. Little did he know that his ignorance would be his undoing. Now, as an outcast looked down upon everyone, he has to endure humiliation as he stares into the eyes of the one who took everything from him. Life had taught him that the strong wouldn't hesitate to stab the weak in the back.

But what if he became one of the strong? How much power would it take to avenge his father's death? How much power would he need to bleed dry the bastard that took everything from him? Would the others learn their lesson, or would they, too, seek to get their revenge?

Exciting Book

To be clear I can not wait until book 2 hits. A non traditional wuxia/cultivation novel.

Had potential but: Needs Editing

the story here has a lot of potential but needs some serious editing. There are many gaps where things don't add up. Also the continual jump between adult actions and kids actions for the main character don't mesh well in an 11 year old who continually out performs easily those around him.

The audiobook covers for a lot of sins

This is a 3.5 in my opinion. The story line is good but the main character is hard to get into. The progression in cultivation is poorly explained and the main characters blood lust is over written and erratic (gotta kill everyone 2 sentences later holding a grudge prevents progress. Going to stab them in the heart…)

12 hours of bullying n not much else

Not enjoyable at all, this is a one n done for me.
...The writing isn't bad, and the narration is pretty good

The story is not engaging though, MC doesn't inspire any desire to care. I just can't get invested ...can't get into it.
If you don't care about what's happening, then there's no reason to continue reading.
