Book 1 drop!
Added 2022-10-04 20:10:32 +0000 UTCPath of Ascension is officially available on Kindle, KU, Print, Audible! While none of you NEED to read the new version that is appearing on Kindle, it has been thoroughly revised and edited to make it a much cleaner book without changing any actual content. It’s a significantly smoother version of the story you know.
The audiobook was performed by a narrator I hand-picked out of a substantial list of options, and he did an incredible job making the story a new experience.

What else can you do to help?
If you have kindle unlimited already, even just a download apparently counts as a sale and can boost my launch rank. So, you don’t have to spend any extra money to help, though if you want to feel free…
Also, on Amazon reviews and ratings are crucial. If you've been enjoying the story, I would respectfully ask you to consider leaving a review. You don’t need to have purchased the book on kindle to leave a review, either, though if you download on KU before posting a review, it comes up as verified which is weighted higher.
Thank you for all the support!

Is it possible for you to post an epub or pdf-file of book 1 for those of us who dont have kindle unlimited but still want to have a copy of the book in one place? Feels fair since we support you here on patreon anyway:)

2022-10-28 19:00:03 +0000 UTCI noticed that as well. How about cores get airy if ambient essence or essence from tiers below the delivers tier is used? Like those kids, that delve tier 4 rifts at tier five. And conversly, if some essence from a higher tier is cultivated, the core gets a bit more solid. Also great to explain why pathers are just a bit stronger...

2022-10-07 20:33:53 +0000 UTCI read on kindle paperwight and the formating of tables (like mana stone conversion) is really bad.

2022-10-07 20:28:20 +0000 UTCI love the small changes in the early chapters that give Matt a lot more character.

2022-10-07 20:25:46 +0000 UTCjust a note for those who purchase kindle content. You might want to download what content you can to a backup solution because Amazon is turning the screws now they have a monopoly.

2022-10-06 17:27:17 +0000 UTCThe other inconsistency I caught was when Matt met Griff he indicated he had a son, but I remember when Matt and Liz visit later that he had a daughter.

2022-10-05 22:41:07 +0000 UTC"The volume produced during an ascension was equal to only about half the mass of the Ascender." This is from about 95% of they way in to the book, and volume is entirely different than mass making this sentence have no meaning, both should either be mass, or volume not a mix of both. Its my third time through and still just as good as the first. Density is what relates mass to volume, as it describes the amount of mass in a set volume, which is why a milliliter of water is also a gram of water, because its density is 1 gram per milliliter.

2022-10-05 16:26:45 +0000 UTCI just started and I already appreciate the changes to the start. I am wondering, dont remember if its ever mentioned that matt really could have just sold his 1 mana a second to make mana from the start instead of working at bennys. Is that ever brought up?

2022-10-05 15:50:33 +0000 UTCI actually like the characters on the cover. Well, except for Aster. She looks like some kind of terrier, instead of a magically beautiful snow fox.

2022-10-05 09:47:29 +0000 UTCThanks for the book, downloaded it with KU, i'll enjoy the polished version in the coming days. One little thing I wanted to mention (preference choise), but after the background that you have on Patreon and AWs shared on RR, I was suprised how the characters are on cover, way to different (prefer the previous ones).

2022-10-05 08:08:57 +0000 UTCEh, save them up, and I *think* you can update the digital version at least periodically. Sooner than the print version, but, next run you can update it too.

2022-10-05 04:47:46 +0000 UTCYeahI had the same issue. Also I thought there was a tier 15 tournament and a tier 10.

2022-10-05 03:43:36 +0000 UTCAnother note on the book. When Matt, Liz and Aster meet the four republic delivers he notes their cores feel airy and thinks it's from essence stones. Seems odd as the Pathers are given them to use later. Maybe it should be ambient mana?
Azulmar
2022-10-05 03:41:09 +0000 UTCThought so. As for the chart formatting it could be my font type and size causing issues. No idea if you could change them to inserted images which would make them more uniform regardless of font size and make the mana stone value and Matt's mana regen much easier to read.

2022-10-05 00:15:46 +0000 UTCit should have been changed to t10 damn

2022-10-04 23:47:47 +0000 UTCReading now and will rate and review when finished. Two things of note so far. 1) t15 tournament for pathers is still mentioned which I thought got nixed. 2) formatting for tables and charts is really bad so far.

2022-10-04 22:57:58 +0000 UTCTrue non growth storage needs T15 but very limited devices can be used earlier like a ring made to hold one specific sword
Azulmar
2022-10-04 22:52:43 +0000 UTCLove the audio book so far, but the emphasis’ the narrator bits on each skill name is killing me boss.
2022-10-04 22:34:14 +0000 UTCI noticed some informational inconsistency in my reread on KU. When first introduced to Griff he mentions that you have to be tier 15 to handle the stress of a spatial storage device, then when introducing Light and Shadow in the tier 10 solo tournament fight with light they mention him "pulling a longsword from seemingly nowhere" and Matt assuming it was from a spatial device. Also didn't Matt and Liz get special spatial devices at tier 8ish? If I spot anything else like this I'll just keep replying to this comment. Wish you tons of success with your stories.

2022-10-04 21:58:05 +0000 UTCAt chapter 6 i am already annoyed with the "narrator Skill voice". It seams to be the only one he uses even in dialog. The narrator is good but especially having Melinda saying the skills in male "narrator Skill voice" Just breaks immersion too much. Might get to the point where i just can't continue. Hope that gets fixed later or in the next book. Else i don't have any complaints.
