From bestselling LitRPG author Seth Ring—creator ofthe Titan and Battle Mage Farmer series—Advent is the first in an epic new series of alien contact, fast-paced military action, and thrilling adventure that will leave listeners hungry for more.

All his life, Mark Fields has dreamed of joining the Defense Force to fight the vicious, alien Exlian, just like the rest of his renowned family. So far, he’s … a dishwasher, trapped in a dead-end job with no powers, no money, and even fewer friends.

Then an encounter with a dying woman changes everything—granting him the abilities he needs to join the training camps—and his life finally feels like it’s turning around, faster than a movie martial arts montage (just ignore the weird cat).

But the Exlian are voracious and myriad, and there’s more to Mark’s new powers than just leveling up. With the pressure mounting, it doesn’t take him long to realize the Exlian aren’t the only sinister threat lurking within the city …

In this first installment of the Exlian Syndrome series, you must fight the monsters … or become one yourself.

Gut zum nebenbei hören, aber der MC ist wirklich bemerkenswert denkfaul. Es passieren immer wieder Dinge, die er einfach nicht weiter beachtet, die dann später "überraschend" wichtig sind oder Konsequenzen haben.
Davon abgesehen macht das Hören Spaß. Die Charaktere sind recht flach aber liebenswert, und der MC ist kein Eigenbrötler, sondern findet gute Freunde. Seine plötzlich erwachten Kräfte sind auch interessant, und die Geschichte entwickelt sich gesamt in eine interessante Richtung, die ihn wohl ab Buch zwei aus der Stadt hinaus treiben wird.
Ich werde weiterhören und empfehle dir das Buch, wenn du eine simple aber nette Story suchst, die du zB beim Autofahren hören kannst.

Unterhaltsam

the story behind mark is really great. I like the idea he is living in a new world with empowered skills and body not only a little RPG but the good story that's behind.

Better than expected

Great science fiction mixed with some litrpg fantasy elements. Thankfully the leveling system is minimal and only server as a way to rank the objektive power of people and to make the Charakters more aware if their physical progression. Feels like a mix of he who fights with monsters and Kaiju no. 8, with some Hunger games or attack on titan mixed in there.

Great

the autor is everytime losing the litrpg focus and is switching into the stereotyp human betrayal, skimming plot.. i am really sad. The Start of the Story was quite good, the MC and SCs are okay.

the narrator, Pavi is great as always.

its kinda sad..
