Good book
I listen while working so it could be on me but felt some small parts were skimmed but not enough to hinder your enjoyment of the book

Loved it
I love how he is playing a game and everyone else is so serious plus 0 luck with the lady’s made me laugh out loud. I’m going in for the second one.

interesting story and characters but bad pacing.
This book starts very quickly and in some ways, that's great because you get right into the game part of the story, but it does make the character development limited. then it gets into a good pace and stride, only to have it just end abruptly with a nod to a sequel.

Very funny and captivating
The story is extremely funny because the characters continuously misunderstand each other. The author uses amazing dramatic irony throughout the whole book. Great story over all and an easy listen. There were a few things that didn’t make sense but that could have been due to the book being short and me needing to listen to the rest of the series in order to understand.

Entertaining! Much Translate, Very Obfuscate. :-P
Fun story! It's essentially a classic "fumbling upward" story in LitRPG. Suffers from some sections that feel like they were written in Google Translate, but setting that aside it's one of the more enjoyable takes on the genre I've seen.

Oddly Comical
The main character is really dumb, but the writer is pretty good and the book entertains.

unearned luck isn't enjoyable
Like most litRPG novels, this is all about the main character being massively overpowered and crushing all their opponents. Unlike most other novels though; this guy does nothing to deserve it. The book goes out of its way to show off how everyone thinks he is better than he really is and he never faces any consequences. He doesn't even realize he's only winning through stupid luck; so there isn't even any character development.
What makes litRPG novels interesting isn't the main character being overpowered. It's why they are, and how they can munchkin their way to victory. (Or occasionally them actually facing challenges and overcoming them. Facing challenges makes a better story but it is rare in this genre.) This book has none of that. It is pure unearned power fantasy. That means I'm not cheering for the main character. I'm hoping he gets his comeuppance and that never happens.

It is okay..
It is okay. I am not a huge fan on this one. It feels very jumpy at times. I am not listening past the first book.

RNG the book
the main character is abusing the luck RNG which makes him appear to be a super genius strategies in some futuristic CEO Resume challenge which our main character is obvious to the entire book . the jumping perspective was more annoying then funny or informing . just made the mc look smart while everyone else is just bad at games .
