Great continuation of the story. Only issue is that most of this book is growing his foundation to go do the plot… which is following our marry band. This and his growing harem, which is annoying take up around 90 percent of the book with a big rush to cover ground that should have started probably around 60 percent of the book. Great world and I enjoy the MC, his BF started to lose me but overall good continuation. Hopefully there is plan for the story chapter of the week. I Understand this indie litrpg but still.

Great, but…

Well written, logical and engaging. Unique world building and setting.

Here is some general rambling:

AlwayRollsAOne is becoming one of my favorite smaller authors and is one of the best in the litrpg genre. Along with A Soldier's Life, his worlds feel fantastical and alive. They're exactly the types of worlds that come to mimd when you think 'fantasy'.

One of the strengths of these books is that the characters live in and interact with the world. It feels like everything was crafted from the bottom up. The world doesn't just exist as the backdrop for the story.

Great escapist fantasy
