loved it

I love this storyline and the characters also the mc's dilemmas. He deals with a lot both physically and psychologically. The way that he overcomes things and the ending is also really good

fan freaking tastic

I tell you what these books will grab you and drag you into them. hands down the best litRPG I've read. would recommend for any age range. may be kinda dark in some areas, but nothing overly sexual or harsh language. 10/10

Worth it

tldr: I used this book to help power me through 32 hour road trip. 10/10 Amazing.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was grander and better than the first, in scope and breadth. The world building in this one was taken up a notch. The characters came alive, each with their own history and struggles that you get glimpses of throughout the book. So much so that if there were spin offs made for the side characters, there would be more than enough for full books. Each of them are well thought out, believable and carry their own fascinating secrets and burdens. Very three dimensional.

The main character grows a lot in this book. He is strong but not overpowered to the point where you could say he is on easy mode. Once it seems that he has climbed the power mountain, he gets slapped down by an even bigger mountain hiding behind the first. And my favorite part is that he the MC is not a little bitch. That kills the story for me and there was none of that here.

I had to go from one side of the country to the other. A large chunk of the driving is extremely boring but the entire time I was completely content to drive with the audio book playing. It made it actually enjoyable to drive through the middle of nowhere for hours on end.

The only slight gripe is that some of the descriptions and such are repeated. However this serves to as a reminder in case you get lost in the numerous titles as well as lengthening the book, which benefits the author. Gotta earn that real cash money dollars, so I get it.

James T. Callum, you did it my dude. I'm now a fan.
Eric Michael Summoner, absolutely solid performance.

I look forward to the next one.

decent but downhill

i like this series and will definitely get the next one if there is. but sometimes things are overused or dragged out for so long it becomes annoying like internal battles weve seen before a new internal battle but different person i dont so much mind the idea just the length it takes to get through. and i have to say very disappointed with the ending of this book left on an extremely weird cliff hanger of sorts and also the ending fight scene taking a very long time and just seemingly getting more and more and more complicated in the last 30 minutes. this book also seemed like it went backwards it kept reiterating skills and character sheets and quests at one point a quest was read out back to back 3 times and it was decently lengthy but not complicated it just seemed like filler. i would assume most people who listen to this genre are gamers or if not have atleast listened to others in this genre once the first book goes over any type of stats and such especially those that differ from other books. we really dont need those reiterated every 10 min especially when thats a lengthy process. overall though good story in whole however this book seemed like more filler than content to me only because of the length and little main story progression that occurred.

Too Much Exposition - Way too stretched

I really enjoyed the first book. This one had way too much exposition and explanation. The author needs to learn how to get to the point. The book starts out ok but then there is a really long stint where the book was just boring. Although the ending is OK it really wasn't satisfying - at least not for the 34 hours of time I invested listening to the book.

There were so many missed opportunities to expand and enrich the story. Instead the author relied on exposition and being overly detailed.

Whit is it with the trend to have MCs mull things over ad nauseam.

I'll likely listen to the next book but probably only if there is nothing else to listen to at the time.

Good litrpg system, cringy dialogue

Fun and deep litrpg mechanics and world building, but just awfully cheesy dialogue that makes you want to forward the book. Character building is also pretty weak.

easy mode enabled

if you enjoy OP mc's then you'll love this book personally I don't. this book quickly became how much the author could empower the mc than any hint of a story to the point that I forgot what happening in the book. TLDR to easy got bored others may enjoy.

This was an excellent second book.

Everything was bigger and better. This book expanded the worldview and the worldbuilding while bringing new depth to the characters and painting a glorious path forward. the narration was excellent and impacting bringing out the appropriate emotions and making each word come alive.
