katskinner's review against another edition
2.0
Three chapters in and you can no longer count on two hands how many pee or pop jokes there have been. It’s a lot. It’s like a 13 year old wrote the story and thought they were funny.
It really isn’t funny to listen to the hero purposefully pee on another character. Nope.
The stats are ridiculous. Overwhelming amount of them and they distract terribly from the actual action and events of the story. Rather than reading a fight scene, it’s a list of stats going up and down most of the time with a few lines of description thrown in.
Oh and the backstory of “I had wife and kids” and immediately just gives up on them and goes about new life… no shock, no plans to get home… just moved on like the other characters mean nothing to him. Is the hero a psychopath?
Dnf. Could not finish.

This one surprised me. It’s good. I haven’t read a good litrpg book in a while but this one was.

Man dies on earth and gets into a fantasy world with litRPG mechanics. He has a littel demon on his shoulder and a special perk "Unbound" that lets him learn everything.
The MC is a bit too OP for my taste. Also some interaction with other chars feels weird for me. But the banter with his demon is okay and overall is the book okay.

Enjoyable. I appreciated the abbreviated stat sheets.

It was okay. There were a ton of spelling and grammar oddities though and those built up. I was interested but book 2 sucked the soul out of me.

Got halfway through.
This book suffers from annoying writing style, unrealistic depictions of actions, and an annoying "loser due to accident" main character. It's standard litRPG
Style: 1/5 disliked
Characters: 1/5 disliked
World: 2/5 fine
Story: 1.5/5 slightly disliked
Keep in mind that I have only read half.
Style:
Lacking. The writing style seems juvenile. There is something about the continuous exclamations and the common, bland assessments of game elements that just turns me off.
Characters:
At first glance, annoying. I didn't finish though. the main character seems to be the usual blundering smart-ass who somehow gets repeatedly lucky. He does dumb stuff like cavorting around with a demon who wants to kill him as well as not selecting the godling class, and then spends tons of time talking about stats and class. He, in his infinite snark, is able to goad demons into trying to commit suicide. It's painful. All my complaints are for most litrpg, but this one in particular failed to make me invested in at least the main character. At least other books make you care a little.
World:
I haven't read enough to evaluate it.
Story:
The story was inherently annoying. The first setback the main character faces is that he had access to the godling class, but was too stupid to click yes and got stuck as a warrior. This ruins the story for me already, because I know now that all the upcoming conflict could have been avoided by the main character being luckier, making the rest of the story seem like meaningless "catching up". The first win the main character has is when he goads an old, hyper-strong demon into essentially falling off a cliff into a planet. This makes no sense. There is no given reason why such an old and powerful being should be so stupid as to be goaded into nearly killing themselves.
