Publisher's Summary

The great hunt is over. In the end, Timothy managed to keep his invaluable prize. A victory? Perhaps. But glory and adrenaline are very powerful narcotics, and tolerance builds quickly. Once deprived of them, life immediately becomes gray and bleak. What's more, his beautiful lover is beginning to transparently hint that she could find herself a more interesting beau.

What is a talented player to do in this case? The solution suggests itself: rush headlong into the most dangerous adventures, taking risks and walking the blade of a knife. Timothy must do everything in his power to survive in places where making a clean escape is entirely impossible, delighting the viewers with his utterly unique playing style and proving decisively to his lady that his previous success was no mere coincidence.

Will it be hard?

Very!

But old reliable friends are still by his side, and that means victory is possible.

litrpg has taught me....

never trust female players or NPCs I'm about halfway through this book and I pretty much already have it figured out, the females in these books tend to be shady treacherous from the get go so I find myself cringing at every corner in fear for our MC. hopefully his wit and quick thinking helps him through these elaborate traps and setups that are surely comming.
overall: very nicely written book and perfectly narrated although if I hear the words "what can I say" used a few more times It might sour my mood.

Best one in the series yet.

I'm looking forward to book 4 . The mix of fantasy novel and video game is surprisingly good

Depressing

If your a happy endings guy like me you may want to read this review.
SPOILER ALERT
The author chose a terrible place to end the book leaving the rest to your imagination. Its a very unexpested ending and is arguably a tragidy. Too much is unresolved and unexplained. My advice is to forget the 3rd book exists and choose to beleive they all live happily ever after with the second book. Im so increadibly depreaaed right now.
