Mini-Review:
Rating for Audiobook
4.5 Stars for Narration by Travis Baldree (He is one of the main narrators in LitRPG/Gamelit Genres & did a great job of making the story come alive.)
4.5 Stars for Main Character Elder/Artorian
4 Stars for Artorian's Training/Cultivation
3 Stars for General Pacing
The ideas behind the story are pretty great. The main character is an old man that becomes a warrior to project the children that have become a part of his chosen family. I love Artorian. He's not perfect. He's not the nicest man. He's a man who drives all of himself to become a person that can protect those he has taken into his heart. The ideas for the way he trains himself to reach that goal were cool.
However, the writing does not come across as completely polished. The writing seems to be simple and do not always convey the complexity of the character, event, setting, etc. I like the story enough that I am going to venture into the Kindle version of the next book in the series. *crossed fingers* I hope I like it!
Would I recommend the audiobook? Yes! It was fun to listen to the story.

Delightful addition.
I can't believe the world building. The way an uninitiated explores cultivation is amazing. The best part is how all of the theorizing and experimentation flow within the narrative without bogging down the story. I don't want to wait until January for the next book.
