Light enjoyable fantasy read. Really enjoyed the premise along with the cast of characters. Davi, our bisexual FMC, has a robust internal monologue filled with self deprecating jokes and pop culture references. Plot twists were not unforeseen but enjoyable nonetheless.
My biggest gripe with this book is that Davi comes across as a middle aged male at times (possibly due to a male author writing a queer female character) and incredible online. The world building… just don’t look to hard and you’ll be fine. Early on in the book Davi says she barely remembers anything from earth but all of her quips (both internally and externally) don’t maintain this premise. I’d have loved to see more consistency, but also, it’s literally a book that is a parody of itself so don’t take it so seriously.
Overall and enjoyable romp and I plan to finish the duology. If you’re a fan of LITRPGs, anime, tabletop games, or fun fantasy, this book is worth the read.
