Lots of preach, notice story

Revisado: 08-07-24

This series gives the impression that the author has no idea what to write about, and so just starts spawning dialog after dialog rehashing any and all of the wise Leftist tidbits he'd learned growing up. not saying any of its wrong, but I don't want to listen to his mom talking for 128 hours over two books. Or hear some entitled hot chic throw a tantrum about it not being fair that she doesn't get to try and be killed just like the hero because of equal rights or whatever (even though nobody carried his unentitled butt).
I don't think I'll be continuing the series. The litrpg concept is neat but is done much better in the authors other book.

Unique story. Action packed, lots of arcs.

Revisado: 07-14-24

I loved this story, and I hope it becomes a series. I didn't actually realize this was litrpg until a ways in and it was cleverly disguised. Very nice take.

Book 3 stepped things up a notch

Revisado: 05-02-24

I'm not sure what happened between book two and three, but while 1 and 2 where both good, book #3 went above and beyond. Honestly, I'd be disappointed if the story ended here. Book four would be another complete change but for the good.

an entertaining story with lots going on

Revisado: 04-19-24

I like how there was quite a bit to this story without overcomplicating it. The title really has nothing to do with the story itself, though, unless the galaxy is defined as a few individuals. But it's a fun title, nonethless.

Not the best and no escalation

Revisado: 04-11-24

I love the series, but he probably should have stopped at the last book unless this starts to get better. To explain this book, let me say first that my Audible player was having trouble with its sleep timer, which meant I was jumping around having to find where I left off multiple times, and it was almost impossible due to the lack of escalation and all the redundancy. One scene about him eating bacon at the beginning sounded just like a similar one in the middle which was like the bacon scene at the end. I ended up listening to every chapter at least twice because the lack of linearity and unique situations or progress in the story made it impossible to tell where I was in the story.
Another odd thing is the whole story is explained near the beginning, and the rest of the story is just filling in the details. I'm not done yet, but I sure hope there's a big twist at the end or else I could have probably listened to just the first few and last fee chapters.

I died before PC was in effect. I have PC protection.
You mean like Cootie Protection?

One long argument

Revisado: 03-12-24

I've generally been enjoying this author's books. He's tried to take the best parts of Expiditionary Force and apply them to a new story with pretty good success. It took him a little bit to find that AI analog, but eventually got there and managed to make it his own.

However, I'm having a hard time getting through this book in particular. Every chapter has basically turned into some set of characters arguing, bashing and generally ripping into each other. At this point, the main character's "broodsmate" seems to have no other reason for existing in the series other than to be one of these source of negativety. Shes made more stabs toward the main character than any of his enemies could even dream. The antagonists are almost washed into the background since she and a few other characters seems to fit the role better.
And I get that the author was hoping this would come across as funny banter, just like a beer can AI insulting a monkey soldier. But I'm having a hard time hearing anything but constant bitching.

Old fashion formula love it

I haven't had a book or movie make me cheer in such a long time that I forgot they could do that. Nice work on the Art scene. Amazing.

Ditto to the other political rewriting reviews

Revisado: 11-13-23

I enjoyed the story a lot because I was able to look past the rewriting of real history. Given that this is a story about rewriting history, I figured I can pretend this took place in an alternate reality. But I have to dock points for that being in here and me having to escape the story to rationalize it that way. See the other reviews for examples.

Didn't listen after reviews of wokeness

Revisado: 11-11-23

There's no way to tell audible to stop showing you a book. but after reading reviews about white shaming and freedom bashing, I didn't want to read it for sure. so fast forwarded on silent.
