Dao of Healing, Book 1

By: Adventuresse

Narrated by: Faelan Cabral

Zhao Dan was born with a hopeless fate. Untalented, poor; a worthless outer sect disciple with no future worth speaking of.

Then I woke up in his body, moments after his suicide.

This strange new world was filled with bloodthirsty beasts, and cultivators who were worse. There was only one thing I could do to stay sane, and it was what I did best—being a doctor.

After a spiritually defining oath to the heavens, and a near-death encounter with a serpentine spirit beast, I acquired the tools to do exactly that.

And the first problem reared its ugly head even sooner than I’d expected: a corrupt city lord and his insidious advisor.

Even after curing the ills that plagued Three River City, I discovered that the world itself was damaged beyond repair. Luckily, I knew a pretty great doctor....

Inspired by Laws of Cultivation, Ancient Godly Monarch, and The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic.

Great start to a series!

Well written, kept me listing to this great book! Can't wait for the next book!

Decent Story, Awful Narration

The story was decent. Not brilliant, but a good average entry. The author has potential and will hopefully improve in time.
The narrator was terrible. He sounded like an AI. No inflections, no passion, absolutely nothing to make the characters interesting. Each word was well pronounced dictation, nothing more.
I had to check to make sure I wasn't being scammed. I refuse to support AI slop. But Faelan Cabral is a real human-being. As with the author, I hope he improves considerably because listening to this was painful.

Generic

The plot armor is strong with this one. Reach new level. Run into someone stronger. Get saved by circumstance or random individual. Rinse, Repeat.

Great take on cultivation!

This is a nice fresh take on a healer trying to make it in a warriors world. With fun combat and some interesting side characters. I will definitely be get the next one

Good story

I enjoyed the story. There were the standard tropes, but they didn’t overshadow the story.

The narrator did a good job, but pronounced a few words wrong or very unusually. Dantean was don-tin, kowtow was ko-toe. There were a couple others, but those two were the most repeated.
