About this listen

Fight. Grow. Thrive.

When ninety-percent of the Universe's population suddenly turned into monsters, Leo has no time to grieve.

He must push forward and find what is left of his family. If that means sacrificing what remains of his humanity and embracing his new reality where a mysterious System is his only true ally, then so be it.

After all, in a world where almost everything wants to kill him, he has to decide if he can do what it takes.

Adapt or Die. Kill or be killed.

A Universe of Bloody Evolution offers a long journey of progression, LitRPG, and exploration of a dying Multiverse. Listen as Leo slowly sheds his human skin to wear one of a beast straight out of the depth of the Void. Embrace the path of Evolution in a series perfect for fans of The Primal Hunter, System Apocalypse, and Hell Difficulty Tutorial.

This review is based on this book and the following one as the world itself made me hope the personality would change, but I couldn't get through the last 3.5 hours of the second book.

Narration:
Excellent job, enjoyed the delivery.

Story:
I enjoyed the idea of this world, but found myself time and time again getting pulled out of the story by the behavior of the MC.
Power fantasies just don't work well for me when the protagonist is an angsty person with abandonment issues.

Interesting world, terrible MC
