Review from Awaken Online: Catharsis →
was very surprised. I’m loving LitRPGs, but this one still took me by surprise. I just wanted more. to learn more about the world and system. also the way that it told more of the background story at the start of each chapter was unique and kept me focused on the big picture

sooooooooooooo bad, so dumb, both story and narration. I’d rather listen to Roseanne Barr with a cold read 50 years of legislature
I liked this better than the original series, Jason, Alex, Riley, etc all seemed pretty one dimensional. This story focuses largely on one character and his main antagonist is himself (there are, of course, secondary adversaries), which leads to better character development for the main character. The other characters may as well be NPCs for..

This could have been good.. I thought it was corny in the beginning but I was willing to give it a try. Then things just got ridiculous— like a bad B movie. I guess if instead of watching a one star horror movie you felt like listening to one for 13 hours I suppose it..

I found the plot rather mediocre, a conclusion I suspect heavily colored by the choice of narrator.I concur with other reviewers, he was awful, in general, and his scots dialect was painful!!

I am rating this on entertainment value. I have purchased all of the series, and I would buy the next. It does get slow or off at points but it always brings me back. Plot wise and reader.. good enough to entertain, so its a good value.

Mediocre writing combined with subpar narration.Character interaction were particularly poor and unbelievable. Performance suffered from a lack of range and strange inflection choices.
This series is a very exciting expansion to the Awaken Online world. The first AO series is amazing but after reading Ember, its clear that Travis has set himself up to continue writing infinitely. There is so much to explore from location, to characters, to magic, everything! I am eagerly awaiting the next book in..
I thought the plot was unique, though pretty similar to Ready Player One in the MMO aspect. There are a few eye-rolling moments, but they don’t detract from the overall story. My biggest issues with the writing were the repetitive descriptions and phrases. Maybe it’s because I listened to the book fairly quickly (I enjoyed..
