Do yourself a favour.

This book is an alright 'isekai' novel. Does some decent world building and sets up a sprawling story that is ready to take place over several books. The telling of the story leaves a lot to be desired, but if you stick with it, it's pretty good.

However. You should avoid this series. Just avoid it. The premise is alright and the first book, while flawed, leaves you with high expectations. Expectations that are completely dashed by the third hour of book two. There are only so many times the tree can say "I have so much to think about" and do absolutely nothing about what he is thinking about before you honestly cannot take it any more. In book two, the author leans into a trees "forgetful nature" with zero premise for it. Then, adds an explanation on why the tree takes so long to make decisions by referencing Tolkien's works. This is all to allow nonsensical plot holes into hooks that make no sense and allow them to stick. Honestly, book two was a chore and made me regret ever wasting the credit. It only got worse as the book went on. Chapters and chapters about poop with nothing being done. Chapters and chapters about wanting to do stuff mentioned in book one, still nothing done. Chapters and chapters about how everything is becoming an RTS game like <insert game name here>. And I won't get started on the random flip-flops in character developments revolving around anger and revenge.

The bottom line is, the series is a wide as a river, yet shallow as a puddle. It has no direction and rambles. There is no interesting story to be found here.

A very well done book

While LitRPG's are still a young genre, we are thankfully starting to see the quality of authors rising with some very skilled writers taking to the field.

The book is very well written, inventive, clever and toys around with the overpowered protagonists tropes in a way that isn't cheesy but actually makes sense.

The author has a nuanced and realistic view on human social interactions with all the complexities and grey areas that comes with it.

A breath of fresh air, truly. I highly recommend it.

I want to be a tree

With his unique perception of time, the story was good and original. Being a tree that can survive fire from a demon king seems a bit much but I guess what doesn't kill you makes you stronger works for a tree.

found it dry and hard to get into.

I am up to date with tree of aeon on scribblehub so thought i would show my support by picking up this audiobook. I enjoyed the premise, world and the characters but found the narration dry and hard to listen to.
It didn't get better as it went along so had to give up. I'll stick to reading it myself as it updates.

Really enjoyed the book. Will be waiting for the 2nd book. Ending felt a bit unfinished, but still recommend it!

Great but…

Again I’m gonna say this book is great it’s pretty unique and has a lot more common sense than most iseaki stories but ngl the tree is a bit of a prick 😂
