Former MMORPGer, and I thought the premise of such a book was pretty cute! Fun story, but with all the things to read, this probably won't make the top type of genre for me.

An okay start, but there were some turns of phrase and particular wordings that I found awkward and/or juvenile. Also it seems like this is halfway to a harem fic with more than a few "beautiful" (and non-human) women expressing interest in the MC. 2.5 stars.

I received a free copy of this book from Prime Reading.

My favorite litRPG/pixelpunk genre book since I first read D.Rus's Play to Live series.

Needs more druids!

Not great as an audiobook unfortunately...

Very entertaining but not well-written. LOADS of grammar and spelling issues. It seems it was self-published, so maybe could have just used more editing before it was published. Nonetheless, interesting and fun. First time I've read a litRPG.

Oh my gosh. So incredibly juvenile. Geared for 20 year olds who play video games and never read. 2 stars because the reader was fantastic, and the story was oddly interesting. Such juvenile writing though.

My coworker has be BEGGING me to read this series.

It wasn't bad! I did enjoy parts of it. I feel like it takes some getting used to with the video game-like updates throughout the book. I listened to it so the reading of the charts got kind of tedious and made me want to skip it.

I can see how the series could get good. It took some time to get into the story and towards the end I definitely did. While the sense of humor of the main character isn't my cup of tea, it was easy enough to roll my eyes and continue on with the story.

I am not the biggest fan of the main character and the idea behind the word itself yet. It doesn't mean that the series can prove me wrong. It just made it harder to get into the book because I has a hard time understanding Richter's motives sometimes.

Will I continue with the series? I will give the next book a shot and see where we go from there.
