Marc and his party have finished their zeppelin and taken it out to try to discover other Safe Zones. Their intent is to set up trade routes between all the different Safe Zones in order to give them a better chance to survive.

The second Safe Zone they discover with the zeppelin is nearly as large as Any Port. It even has its own ring of outlier Safe Zones, or a partial ring at least. It appears that several of the smaller Safe Zones have been taken and converted into dungeons. With the safety of the larger Safe Zone apparently at stake, they bring the zeppelin down to help the larger Safe Zone however they can.

On return to Any Port, Marc accelerates his own expansion, his father having finally seen the wisdom of all the additional Safe Zones Marc wants in order to capture more land.

With setting up more of their own outlier Safe Zones, meeting new and interesting creatures, some of whom would like to kill and eat the party, making contact with new Safe Zones, and working with the satellite they recovered, Marc keeps himself busy in the aftermath of the System's arrival.

First the narration voice was good what means for me, I didn't dislike it, and it wasn't annoying. The Narrator has a nice range of skills to read in different voices.
The story wasn't quite engaging as in the last books, and a lot of things that happened in the City and inside the Dungeon were forgettable. However, when it comes to "LitRPG System Apocalypse" stories there isn't much out there, so I appreciate any series in this subgenre for that what it is. I just feel a bit more grim or some unexpected twists/reveals would help the overall story immensely. In the end, all LitRPGs are some kind of power fantasies, and I am missing the power in this fantasy or badass moments. Don't get me wrong, there were a few moments, just most of them are not memorable. When it comes to the overall story arch that was hinted in the last books (the Satellite and the Streaming broadcast) I am eager to know how it all continues because there wasn't much progression in "System Escape".
To my defense, this here is written a Month after I listen through this book, and I couldn't even recall exactly where it ended anymore. What is normally not a good sign. As I said, I like this series to continue to see where it's going next...
...so 4 out of 5 from me.

The weakest part of the series so far...

Der Autor verliert sich zu oft in unwichtigen Details und kleinen Plots. Weiterhin ein sehr nerviger NC. Immer noch logische Fehler und einige sehr träge Entwicklungen. Ich hatte gehofft, dass es endlich mal anzieht... aber es wird eher mit immer mehr Nebengeschichten verwässert.

Unterm Strich liegt nun das 2. Buch in Folge weit unter den Erwartungen, daher bin ich mit dieser Serie durch.

Hat leider weiter nachgelassen..

sehr langszogene Geschichte. Mann fühlt sich wie in einem MMORPG aus 2000. Tu das total dämliche für mich und ich gebe dir das was ich dir eh geben würde weil es mir nützt. Die Bücher sind an sich gut geschrieben jedoch nicht durchgängig lesbar.
