Story und Progression sind super fesselnd!

Die Story und Progression des hauptcharakters sind unglaublich fesselnd. Von Anfang bis Ende wird schön mit Spannung gespielt & Charaktere werden wunderbar eingeführt und etabliert.
Kann ich jedem Empfehlen & freue mich auf Vol. 2

Interesting setting with a great narrator

The story is about a recently born demonic tree named Ashlock, with a unique mind and a system to assist him in his growth.
Ashlock suddenly wakes in world of cultivators and has to do his best in order to survive, grow taller and protect those few important to him.
All in all the story is very interesting, the unique aspects of his tree-life are well described and the occasional differences in morals and viewpoints between a tree and men is intriguing.
The worldbuilding seems good too, we only get a few bits of knowledge about the world each time, since the protagonist doesn't know about the human-world (because he's a tree and can't move or talk...) and most of his contacts in the beginning are kinda naive or outcasts themselves. We do get a lot of information in the later part of the book tho, which makes me eager for the next book.

The narrator is great, his way of narrating adds a lot of flavor to the story and it's easy to listen to. I am really surprised how much I liked it, especially since I bought this book on a whim (I am familiar with the wuxia/xanxia novels tho), and I'd recommend it to anyone who likes cultivation novels.

I did give it only 4 stars for the story, because in the last ~5h the book felt a little slow to me. A lot of things seemed to be described in too much detail, especially if something big happens the action doesn't seem fast-paced because it has "too much" flavour. This might be a bit nitpicking, but I felt like there were too many thoughts and not enough actions. In addition one of the female characters kinda changed, I liked her in the beginning but later I didn't understand why she started telling random lies to random people. The tree/mc didn't care too much, thus it isn't really bad, but it seems weird for a cultivator to deliberately lie to mortals. For example, she could have said nothing instead. Maybe I can understand it a little but it seemed strange and I didn't like that part of her character developement. For now I am split between "I like her" and "she's annoying". For these 2 reasons its -1 star for me.

Super interessantes Setting

Anfangs war ich zweifelhaft mit der Pämisse als Baum wiederbelebt zu werden. Aber dieses Buch hat es so gut vereint und es geschafft eine Geschichte über einen Baum, der sich nicht mal bewegen kann, so verdammt spannend zu machen das auch ich mich nicht bewegen konnte und einfach nur weiter hören wollte.

Baum zur Abwechslung

Ich lese und höre die Serie jetzt schon bis zum 4ten Buch und es gefällt mir sehr. Das erste Buch ist sehr spannend, es ist lang (20 Stunden) und in der Zeit gibt es auch viel Fortschritt und nicht nur Idle Banter.

Nice Pace

Due to the story itself the world building has a nice and steady pace. As far as the eye can see ;)

Way more than I expected

I bought this because I thought the concept was absurd, but I do love martial arts cultivation stories and thought to myself "hey, why not?"

And I am amazed about how much I liked this book. Ramón De Ocampo is a great voice actor, every character had a great and distinct voice. The story was unusual but amazing and the power curve for the main character is refreshingly good.

Very nice

The story is very nice. In some places its written like a mystery but then the answer is presented imitate. That is a neat way to keep me focused.

Below Average - dont recommend

The core concept about the demonic tree is interesting, but it doesnt save the story from the lackluster/offputting elements around it. I stopped listening about 9 Hours in.

Disregard my comment if you want to read a fantasy story including "random" gacha games draws and endless fortunate encounters (which are clearly cherry picked for the mc) or sexualised young goth-girls and schoolgirls in modern world clothing (jeans etc.).

i don't know...

Perfekt example of 3*s.
On one hand, the storyline is ok, no giant plot holes and overall nice to listen to.
On the other hand, the mc is an average boring human without an purpose stuck in a tree. He only gets one advantage after another shoved up his butt and thats it. A system grantig power, an old man giftig artifacts, absolutely nothing to archive or or any other reason to do.
