Summary
Cam Folde will shake the very fabric of creation... or see all his hopes turn to ash.
The son of the town drunk, Cam never figured on letting his family name hold him down. He always strove to dream bigger, to fight for something better, to achieve more than what everyone else expected of him.
But, as they say, “once a Folde, always a Folde,” and when a decision to rescue a friend leads to disaster, fortune’s favor is lost. Cam spirals away from his dreams and ambitions; his fall finally ending at the bottom of a bottle.
But all hope is not lost. Cam rises, supported by family and friends. And when a powerful Master of Ephemera offers him a chance to walk the Way into Divinity and achieve redemption, Cam seizes the opportunity.
All he has to do is survive the Ephemeral Academy, the very school where the next generation of Masters are trained. There, Cam just might achieve the greatness he's always sought, and with friends at his side, including an irrepressible Awakened panda, it even seems possible.
But Cam will soon discover that the Way into Divinity is as steep as it is arduous, and there are more fearsome things than humans who brave its perilous climb...

Student Cultivator
Tragedy seems to follow Cam and how he will be able to overcome it. I feel like he mentions to often but maybe I just don't get it
I like his team mates they remind me a bit about Mage Errant group
The supporting cast is a enjoyable who are fully fleshed out with interesting personalities and backstories

Unsure whether I recommend this
I got into this story because I love cultivation novels but sadly it's not a true cultivation story as we are used to ,there are definitely aspects of it but the story has its own twists on it that leaves me a little hazy.Part of the problem is that there isn't any great detail on the differences of cultivation levels and in that fact there is little detail in a lot of worldbuilding aspects .
My other complaint is that the mc is very angsty I mean sure he has a rough life but there's basically 15 chapters of bads things happening and him going woe is me I'm a curse to everyone around me , frankly if it's wasn't for Travis being the narrator I'd have given up at that point but it does become far more reasonable after he gets to the academy.

So. Much. Fun.
I usually keep an eye on audiobooks Travis lends his professional eye to I must say that in this instance I am very. VERY. Pleased with the result. I normally prefer a more heavily Litrpg genre but I have found the pacing and perspective to be utterly exemplary. Often times a writer will choose a specific plot point as a get out of jail free or a 'trope' of the genre but frequently through this read I have found that the writer immerses you in the protagonist's mindset which further adds to the immersion. I have been utterly entranced by the characterization and the writers choices to build a world rather than tell a quick and easy story and thoroughly look forward to the next instalment although I appreciate that it may take a while to get it written/ recorded.
