About this listen
What would you do if left unattended during your reincarnation? What would you choose from an endless list of abilities for your next life? Time is short to select what skills you need in your next life. The hero of this story chooses a life of wealth and prosperity, but in a world of infinite magical possibilities, plans are quickly disrupted.
Storme finds himself reincarnated into a Dyson Sphere stabilized with powerful aetheric magic. Fantastical creatures, terrible dangers, and treacherous dungeons are abundant. It doesn't take long before he succumbs to the adventurer's life.

The scale of this story is fine. It takes place on floating islands, with our upstart main character (MC) living on one, surrounded by others with towns and cities. The magic system feels somewhat similar to the one in A Soldier's Life, though I really hope they're not connected and are set in separate universes.
The size of a Dyson Sphere is, honestly, incomprehensible. The fact that the book starts by mentioning spacefaring races that live on the outside of the sphere, with dungeons connecting the inside and outside, is kind of wild. With our MC world being Magic and airships which makes the whole scal of things allmost feel smaller kind off? So far, though, the book hasn’t described much of that scale in detail — it's only been mentioned briefly. The MC is basically banned from leaving his house or training area, which makes the pacing feel very slow.
Given how short the book is, I'm not sold on it yet. I'd selfishly rather the author just focus on A Soldier's Life. That said, I’ll reluctantly pick up Book 2.
My main worry is that the world might just be too big for this kind of story to work. This first book felt like 13 hours of training with not much actually happening. I don’t mind a slow burn, and I’m happy to wait for things to develop, but there needs to be some kind of payoff eventually. With the book ending on the promise of more training, it’s a bit disappointing.
If the book were longer and this whole training arc was just the beginning, not halfway through the total length, I’d feel better about it. Also, it's clearly written for a younger audience which is fine and doesn’t bother me but it does impact the depth a bit. Also in the first 4 hours of a book I really hate getting the same advent played out at different points of time in the book with different POVs of the same advent. The book just felt to short to be doing that. 4/5 really I don't regreat getting this book and will be getting the next.
World Sphere, maybe to large of a world?
