Publisher's Summary

There are whole anthologies of stories out there about what humankind does when a game enters their world. But what about when they're living in one where a game arrived thousands of years before? What if they're the survivors of a bloody struggle, having fought for and earned their place on the planet?

Tailyn Vlashich was a young nobody far away from all those grander issues. All he cared about was one thing: making his way through a harsh world where the emperor, evil foes, and an impartial god held sway. And the god, of course, demanded nothing less than that all things were done in accordance with its divine will.

Decent story. Interesting lore. But I feel uncomfortable

Decent story concept. Game literature with character leveling without actual main character leveling.
I like the world lore that is hinted at and the way the explanation gets slowly trickled in. Hope it continues with future books.

But. These are KIDS. The young age is mandatory for much of the character interactions. But am I really supposed to relate with these pre-puberty children’s semi lewd feelings? I just feel wrong now. Hope it doesn’t continue in the next book. Or that we time jump a few years at least. Or that we step back to a more innocent relationship

fifty/fifty

the narrator did a reasonable and the story overall was pretty good but the romance was to sudden and seemed forced.
