THIS SERIES IS SO GOOD AND SO DAMN LONG 💀 I feel it’s well worth it. Obviously the author has A LOT to say. The characters are multi faceted, the world building is staggering, and the plot twists. I am shook.

Well, this has probably been the best book of the year (so far). I will say that I am SHOOK that the Horns of Hammerad were straight up killed because they had strong side/main character energy. I am also on the fence about both Erin and Ryoka because they're deeply flawed and make stupid mistakes which makes them more complex but also super annoying. Anywho, off to listen to the next book!
Innoffensively wonderful fluff. This is empty calorie literature, competently written, quite well paced (given the length i dipped in and out of it with other books) with two main characters I actually found not all that endearing but not uninteresting. There are times when all you want is mindless entertainment and this, for the genre does just that.

While isekai has always been my jam, I’ll admit the idea of LitRPG and TWELVE HUNDRED PAGES was a bit daunting to me. And when the book first started, I freely admit I wasn’t enraptured. Erin was obnoxiously stupid, the stakes felt so strangely low as she merely struggled to open an inn, and the inner monologues were a tiny bit juvenile and wordy. Then something clicked a bit further in and I was hooked.
I can’t tell you what it was. The characters remained as they were, though Erin does do a lot of growing internally. The world-building does explode in growth but we’re given only crumbs of that lore here. The monologues become dialogues, some funny and entertaining, some frustrating and nonsensical. Ryoka as a character was just the most frustrating, stubborn jerk of a person who was determined to never learn from her own mistakes. All of that together should be a hodge-podge of chaos and while it was it still somehow worked. I was so entertained by this story that the pages just flew by.
I will definitely be checking out further books in this series, and highly recommend to anyone even slightly considering entering the isekai/litRPG genre.

First! Andrea Parsneau is a phenomenal narrator, this is a very long book and has a pretty large cast with numerous species. She narrates all genders and characters flawlessly and I could not believe the range and emotion she could put into even the gruffest male voice. Just wow, this made the story so much better as well.
Next, while this had a slow start it really built up a unique world and many different things at stake! Each species had their ambitions and i really enjoyed learning about it. The characters Ryoka and Erin, were frustrating and a little shortsighted but they had their charms, I am interested to see their growth over the series!
Did really like this story and I found myself excited to turn it on everyday!!
