Über diesen Titel
To find peace, Alexander must first embrace war.
After tragically losing the only person he ever cared about, Alexander, a rogue artificial intelligence, opens a portal to an alternate dimension to escape his grief.
Scanning trillions of different dimensions, Alexander finally finds a world that is reminiscent of the only time he was ever happy, back when he could play virtual reality games with his only friend. He doesn't know why or how such a world exists, but he doesn't care. All he cares about is finding a place where he can escape the misery of Earth and start over.
Join Alexander as he risks it all by downloading his intelligence into a body made from the best stolen technology and bio-enhancements Earth has to offer and takes the plunge through a portal to another world.
Only this new world isn't full of the idyllic adventures and fantasy roleplaying he had hoped to find. Instead, Alexander finds himself trapped in the middle of an ancient city, in a divergent timeline, where monsters have ravaged the world and the only people left alive huddle behind thick walls, struggling to survive.
To save his new home, Alexander must quickly learn to adapt to his new world, melding magic with technology to give himself an edge over the unending waves of monsters assaulting the city.
To survive, Alexander must embrace war.
This story is a slow-burn empire builder featuring an alternate version of ancient history where a system apocalypse struck ancient Constantinople. The story follows Alexander as he learns what it means to be human in a world overrun with monsters, dungeons, rival empires, pirate kings, and many other threats that even Alexander's impressive abilities and the soldiers he rallies to his cause may not be able to survive.

Very enjoyable
Ein Fehler ist aufgetreten. Bitte versuche es in ein paar Minuten noch einmal.
But like i said there are some major flaws with the book. First of all he downloaded all of human history and knowledge into his brain?
This seeting is my major point of contension with the book. During the first part of the book his restraint with showing his knowledge and skills makes sense but later on where the stakes grow larger it makes no sense at all for him to not introduce more technology to the world. Don't get me started on the nano bots those are not used extensively either. All in all with the stakes getting higher and the capabilities of the MC it makes no sense what he does.
It seems the author did realize that aswell rather quickly and simply ignored the problem.
All in all i found it still enjoyable and if you can overlook some nonsensical stuff you should aswell since other than this it actually has the making of a good litrpg.
good Story but with some major flaws

The plot line was good

And luckily this time the recommendator wasn't fucking me over xD... like with the last one.
Let's go trough the reason why i like Nova Roma, but still giving it a 4 Star.
Pros:
1. I really like the voice actor, he's doing a god like impression of different personalities. + Really makes them feel alive.
2. The world is dangerous and mysterious. Lots of things to find and riddle out.
3. The characters are likeable , humanlike and not just walking hormone bags that want a harem, Or get a fling each 5 minutes.
4. The System Stuff is done nicely. It felt like there's only two or three status screen overloads here. Mostly to remind us of things and not by every small upgrade ... which is nice. Nothing is more boring then snoozefeast status screen messages for days.
5. People are People. They're not just pinatas made of papermache for the MC to harvest, mostly. The only character i don't really get is the emperor. But well ... he had no real impact to date.
Cons:
1. A few skills a waaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyy to broken if misused. The author himself cheats a bit with some of these, so the MC can get a fast power up. With a bit of a negative side, but way too much positive. If that A.I Brain would actually thing about usefull use cases .... I'm not gonna spoil it, but two skills he gotten that are openended are so broken. If he just sat down still with an "enemy", while fighting... he would become omnipotent enough to craft godlike weapons. Throw a rock to kill a god dragon or just sneeze and wipe out an enemy army. 60*24 ... 1440 free statpoints in 24hours, HAHAHA. Yeah. If that world was a game, people would abuse the shit out of skills that are openeded like that ...
2. After the first few days/ weeks. Nothing really is gonna hurt the MC. He might get trapped or needs to run away. But the plot armor is so thick, that there's not much pressure to thing of smart ways to get around stuff. Just go full futureistic weapons in a medieaval mage world. For the win ^^.
So who would i recommend this too?
Anyone that like a good rpg like story, where the MC handles situations not with his dick.
People that like to think about the deeper plot and scour the story for nice tidbits.
Well mostly everyone that wants to see an mega brain A.I slowly but steadily become a leader ... possibly a god?
Good solid game-like fantasy setup.

Regarding this book ->
Interesting: Pretty good ideas storywise, be it the overall story or arcs or details. Long book.
Flaws: Author tends to a drastic change of paste from time to time. Like having one chapter that could(should) have been a book, followed by a chapter that could(should) have been a few sentences
Narrator tends towards a quite repetitive speech pattern, rhythm and melody, which can become pretty annoying if one is sensitive to it.
Good luck to both of them.
Interesting, with flaws.

Solid Book

Die Story ist fantastisch die Vererbung von Vergangenheit spiele und so weiter echt toll.
-Die Geschichte ist schön und gut aber sich in den Kopf zu setzen die Handlungen einer übermächtigen Maschine (KI) schreiben zu wollen ist ein wenig viel! Der Mann handelt wie ein bisschen intelligenterer durschnitlicjer Mensch Mensch!
-auch wieder typisch das Preis überhaupt keinen Sinn ergeben
Einfach unglaublich

I got this as an audiobook and I think I checked twice if I picked up the second book.
Turns out it was the first book and the author didn’t want to or didn’t know how to set up the world change that happens at the beginning of the book.
In the end I think Portal to Nova Roma can only be explained with „The ultimate power fantasy“ but also should have been a Dungeons and Dragons campaign!.
Alexander is a Garry Stue by design (an all-knowing, almighty almost unstoppable robot who will not get killed by time…..yeay….)….and the book suffers from a serious case of please get out of your own head and talk to someone. Because somehow, this book managed to go crippling slow and skip whole weeks ahead at the same time.
Halfway through i started thinking that he desperately needed companions, so he…and I could get out of his head.
Non the less I kept coming back to it without being able to explain why. I complained plenty about the book to friends.
In the end, I think it’s a very intriguing world. I kept thinking man do I want to run a DnD campaign in this setting. (Later in the book the fact that all of that is very heavily based in DnD lore shines through in my opinion.)
A world inhabited with fantastic monsters, a very interesting magic system, hinting of gods that actually throw their dice and heighten the stakes for everyone……count me in!
Eventually, Alexander seems to realize that a good adventurer needs people and the moment he starts making friends and actually talking this got really fun real quick.
The cast of people he bands together is interesting, so if you can stand way to much internal dialogue for the fun pats, this is one for you!
Great world, good characters, terrible pacing

The introduction was interesting in concept but dry in execution.
After that basically nothing happened. He defeated a few rats. And explored a dead city to find leather scraps (yay?). I found my mind drifting away after a while so I did not hear everything said, but he still has not reached civilization.
No contact
