The main character (MC) evolves significantly throughout the story.
The MC was originally a summon linked to a princess, which he discovers later in the story.
Most female secondary characters are portrayed as lacking power and agency, illustrating youthful folly.
The MC starts weak but becomes powerful by the third book, showing steady growth.
The story features a unique magic system where power leveling is not allowed, promoting balance in dungeons.
The world is structured around RPG mechanics, but it's an actual world, not a VR setting.
The book uses multiple points of view (POV) effectively, enhancing character development and storytelling.
The MC, Trent, is a child with no memory, making his journey of discovery central to the plot.
The series has been likened to other popular LitRPG novels, showing its appeal among fans of the genre.
Cliffhangers are a notable aspect of the series, keeping readers eager for the next installment.

From The Publisher:

The Infinite World, ever-changing and ever growing. New nations and races rose and fell almost daily. New Classes were discovered, as old ways were lost. Monsters and beasts roamed the earth and were slain by soldiers and adventurers who were in turn killed by stronger threats. Heroes and villains created new epics and were forgotten when their successors appeared. This was the way of the Infinite World.

Summoned into this chaotic place, a young boy with no name and no past must learn to survive. Bound to a master who doesn't care whether he lives or dies, he must become stronger. The question is how? Do the people around him value him for who he is or merely for what he represents? The world holds endless possibilities, only time will tell what the future holds for the boy.

4/15/2020 This book has now been edited by someone more professional and meticulous than myself. Still no sweeping changes to plot or style, Updates should be live within 72 hours. Thank you to everyone that has made it this far with me!

P.S. It should also be known that my 70 year old, retired elementary school librarian mother, thought there was an excessive amount of strong language in this book. Reader beware! However I was not ashamed to let my mother read this book.
