Summary

The Netherworld: it is a hellish landscape inhabited only by demons, creatures born from the dark abyss. It is also the only world Salvos knows.

Joining the ranks of newborn demons, Salvos is thrown into the violent, anarchy-ruled landscape of that world. To survive, she will have to learn, she will have to adapt, and she will have to evolve. She will gain experience to reach new Levels of power.

Her curiosity aids her but her pride could be her fall. It is the nature of the Netherworld to avoid or conquer any threats faced. After all, the law of evolution is survival of the fittest, and Salvos is a survivor. And perhaps, eventually, she will leave this world behind for a better place. But is that what she even wants?

Salvos is a monster evolution litRPG series that follows the adventures of a Demon girl. It is set inside a game-like world with classes and levels, but it is not inside the world of a video game.

Nice

Loved it sooo much. Perfect for LitRPG fans like me. Too much stats reading, though, but at least somewhat manageable. Great writing quality and editing too! 12/10 xD

Excellent!

This is a great example of the LitRPG genre. Instead of being focused on a human, the main character is a Demon. The story is enjoyable and character driven with some nice world building thrown in.
The narrator is brilliant, each character has their own voice which helps to enhance the story.
Definitely getting the next in the series.

Ok…?

It’s really nice, I loved it so much but it’s not my fav rpg style book.
My thoughts:
1:Salvos is blunt. 2: the humans are short minded (tho that’s nothing new) 3: it’s violent.
4: there is swearing, cursing and it is a bit gory. Not recommended for young kids.
5: the monsters are fun to emagine.
6: Salvos is a bad ass.
7: make more please!
Thank you for your time and now I think about it my review is rather negative, with it is not next to be. Thank you. :)

A very fun listen!

Great story!
Just slightly wish the narrator had a little more variety with the voices, all the male characters sound the exact same, but overall still a great performance!

Just not interesting enough.

The narrator was really good and I couldn’t fault her at all. The story, however, was boring and never hooked me once. Shame.

Over explained and conversationally stilted

the concept was good and the story seems to be going well.
However everything is explained in detail multiple times, often by characters that don't have a reason to know or explain.
conversation doesn't feel fluid or natural and instead as a method of passing on more information or hitting the next story beat.
