DNF not for me

The book started and it was interesting i could empathize with the Mc and like others have said I could understand the struggles.

And then it stops being interesting. The jumping around and different perspectives didn’t really add anything for me. It is a light read and could appeal to some, just not for me.

This is the very definition of vanilla LitRPG. The stakes were nearly nonexistent, the characters were forgettable, and the world-building is so familiar it blends into the genre without leaving a ripple.

I did like the idea of a support pleb groking the code in a holistic way, but I'd like it better if we were told how that could be possible. Was it just because of long exposure, a la The Matrix... "I don't even see the code anymore, all I see is blonde, redhead, brunette..." or is it something the A.I. did to Jeff via the V.R. module?

The writing was okay, with only a few grammar issues and an easy-to-digest style. Still, I've no desire to continue the series.
