Overated

Revisado: 11-30-18

the author wastes no time trumpeting the fact he coined the term "lit rpg" like he invented the genre and didn't steal it from the Asian web novel scene. it's not even like trapped in video game stories are new. All this would have been unimportant if the book could stand on it's own legs. but the book is boring. the main character is a bland Mary Sue who spews memes that were dated before this book came out. the author gave him no motivation beyond "I'm in an rpg, better level up and do quests" the only good thing Aleron Kong did was make a word to search for novels that are like his but better. Nick Podehl did a fantastic job with what he had to work with.

All the best Parts of a monster movie in a book

Revisado: 10-21-17

My title says it all. If you like monster movies you will like this book. Ray Porter also does great in picking his voices to instantly sum up a characters personality.

Surprisingly Fantastic

Revisado: 10-21-17

Picked this up on a whim and was surprised at how sucked in I got. it's slow so give it some time but it becomes an amazing story of honor and righteousness. i'm a sucker for those stories. changed how i'll view paladins in other fiction. also Michael Kramer continues to be a godly narrator.

The Main Character is Useless

Revisado: 10-21-17

Good reading, interesting story, but seriously the main character does nothing but whine and move from one place to another. everyone goes on about how special and powerful he is but he get's his butt kicked and saved for almost the entire story. it's sad because the few times he does fight or do something besides what some other character tells him to do it's actually really great. also the final confrontation is a hard copout and just disappointing.

Seriously Another Power

Revisado: 10-21-17

the first book was actually really good nice build up, hero rejecting his calling, looming threat, and the world hanging in the balance. then it just all goes down hill. author keeps stacking powers and ability on on the vampires and werewolves until battles just don't make sense. also "the mother" is a terrible character. Ancient progenitor of the werewolves who explains 0 things about them. maybe book 3 fixes this terrible mess of vague superpowers but good luck getting past book 2 cause I couldn't.

Balances Things Perfectly

Revisado: 10-21-17

the author manages to make a soldier who, though competent, is constantly avoiding playing a larger role in the politics of the moment enjoyable. In the later parts of the story he also manages to make the godly AI not seem like a complete ex machina and makes him a likable jerk. I look forward to more of the impressive balancing act.

It's a Radio Play Basically

Revisado: 10-21-17

The story which is already a great sci-fi adventure is only made better by the willingness of the production team to use sound effects to bring a sense of atmosphere to the reading. Going that extra step has made this one of my most enjoyable listens.
