Reviews:
andsum325 Liked the book at the beginning. Read through to about book 4 and then didn't understand the story anymore. I think the author like a lot of other authors in this genre had something to preach in their story and it kind of lost me. Like a normal human being I just pick up a book to enjoy it and not be preached on how I'm supposed to think or view the way of the world. I just didn't know where the character was going and I stopped reading. Even if this book was free on Unlimited on Amazon I wouldn't waste my time with a preachy author. Just tell me a story and get on with it. No one likes to be preached to.
Brian Spears I enjoyed the book as my first introduction into litRPGs. I have always enjoyed the fish out of water stories like this one as well as progression from an average person to a hero. It was well written with a good mix of political intrigue and humor.
bagobred Fun series- got a little tedious books 5-6, but not bad overall
Really didn't expect to like the story. I started the story and abandoned it at first but decided to try the audio (because so many people liked this story). That really made a HUGE difference.
Lots of snark and humor. MC, Jason, is very likable though snarky and idealistic/rigid in his belief. But he and is companions are fun to read about and hang out with and contrary to lots of people, I really enjoyed the second arc (book 4-6).
Fantasylover This was good, never mind the naysayers.Some readers complain about how smug the MC is as well as his liberal political views. But I thought this was just part of the set up and added to the storyline.
The world building was good. This is a portal fantasy- wise cracking mc, decent progression and leveling.
