Battle World 1

Battleworld Series, Book 1

By: Cassius Lange, Castor

Narrated by: Todd Menesses

The Great Ones arrived on Earth and conquered us with little bloodshed.

They collected our strongest warriors and shipped them off to a world called Hadran—a one-of-a-kind artificial planet, a cosmic gladiatorial arena where the slave races engage in blood sports for the Great Ones' entertainment. But Earth has lost the last of its real champions and now risks losing its candidate status. If that happens, it will become less than a slave colony.

Clint Rogan is a man fighting to survive in this new world. After a series of unfortunate events, he's ripped from his home, shipped off-world, and forcibly merged with a faulty symbiote. Power, speed, endurance, and the drive to kill are all at his fingertips. That is, if Sarien, his symbiote, doesn't kill him first.

Dropped into Terraria One, Clint and the other human contestants discover the human starting zone resembles the middle ages. With humanity's fate in the balance, Clint and the newcomers first need to rebuild the base, conquer the surrounding territory, and fight off alien enemies.

Can they survive long enough to give Earth a fighting chance? Or will the Battle World consume them just like the others before them?

it was pretty good

the story telling was pretty good, the Todd Menesses is a great voice actor and the story is a good solid start.

I cant believe how much I like this.

If you are a big fan of Venom and LTRPG books than this will be really good book for you. It feels very intentionally done. Just how Venom always wants to eat and the mc wont let him. But it's different enough the writer wont get in trouble. To me it is a very cool idea and if you listen to it in a half awake state of mind the images this book created for me were incredibly interesting. Anyway there are so many Superman knock off it's about time someone done it with Venom.

The battle with the Patriarch.

I liked the rpg feel of the story. I hated the human misery loving robots.

Story was interesting

Didn’t like the simbiot changed the 1 character’s personality/ moral compass. Other than that I enjoyed it

Mostly one-dimensional characters and story

The plot outline was fairly unique but the execution of the story was weak. Too much conversation replaced too little dialog.
