Double-Blind 3: Nychta's Favor

A LitRPG Apocalypse Adventure

De: J. McCoy

Narrado por: Ramón de Ocampo

Friends reunited. Foes on the run. A moment of respite all-too-fleeting.

With the threat of a second cataclysm bearing down on them, Matt and his allies double their efforts to climb the tower, juggling personal responsibilities, new players, unexpected assistance from unlikely sources, all while weighing the insidious possibility of threats from within.

Since the beginning, Matt’s one-of-a-kind class served as a roguish springboard, allowing him to attain the role of a puppetmaster, manipulating and orchestrating events from behind the scenes. But even with the power he’s attained, the wheels of progress move slowly. With disaster looming on the horizon Matt will be forced to make a choice.

Will he remain hidden in the shadows? Or finally step into the light.

Book three of a LitRPG Apocalypse series set in the real world, where the price of failure is death, and the prize for winning is beyond Matt’s wildest dreams.

Perfect for listeners who enjoy stories with morally gray characters, high stakes, stealth mechanics, system integration, a smart protagonist with weak-to-strong progression, and more!

I’m absolutely enthralled!

In the best possible, I’m so reminded of mass effect! The characters interwoven and deep connections, the history and continuity that gets delved into. Character growth at the personal level while the story crescendos into unavoidable events, the obvious and the foreshadowed… Absolutely enthralling! If you know you know, but the outstanding citadel dlc in mass effect 3 and a good portion of this novel shared the same vibes to the point where it almost felt inspired by it. I loved it so much! I can’t wait for more!!!

If I had to give two critiques, it’s that I’m not still listening to it, and that there was quite a bit of setup in this book for future events in comparison to the amount of payoffs but it has me on the edge of my seat for what comes next!

Thank you!

What happened to the quality control!

The first two books were great. Matt is a little too broody and overly cautious in my opinion, which can be frustrating, but it’s one of his flaws. It’s nice to have a LitRPG that doesn’t bombard you with stat screens all the time, and Matt’s powers are unique. Overpowered in certain situations, but it works and encourages a good team mix.

But the QC… I’m about to stop listening after only a couple hours in. There’s a paragraph that seems like the author wrote it, took a break, and came back to rewrite it but forgot to delete the first version. And the voices are usually on point where you can determine who is talking based on them, but for some reason whoever the editor/director is dropped the ball. When we first run into Rhett again he has an American accent, then he slips into a (not very good) Australian accent, then back to American. Then Nick slips into an Australian accent, then slips back into an American, but this time loses his surfer bro vibe and sounds like a small child. My mind feels like it’s got whiplash. This book feels like it was rushed to production, which sucks because I’m really enjoying the story.

It stays centered.

I really like how the story builds around the main character, there's no side stories taking forcing you away from his journey. Amazing howthe author manages this. It is so well written that the author accomplishes this only around the main character, and his point of view. Amazing author, with narration that is simply out of this world.

Only dislike I have, to wait for book 4, but good thing comes to thoughts who wait, begrudgingly.

good, consistent story telling

narration is great, it's a good continuation of the story. Can't wait for the next title to come out.

Consistently Good

Another great entry into the series. This one spent more time building up than the past two books. While it feels like an intermission from the main event, there is a lot of character development baked in for all of the characters. So I'm that sense, it not so much an intermission, but you can tell it's building up to something...
