Fun progression fantasy in the best traditions of the interwebz.

Like it’s clearly not a Great Narrative in the best literary traditions and ✨that’s okay✨. The author clearly isn’t a native speaker and this type of story has it’s own narrative quirks.

What a feat to write such a cult classic even if it’s niche as f.

Consumed the first Arc in audiobook format and the narrator did a great job.

It really does feel like listening to a playthrough of a game or a dnd campaign being converted into a streamlined story. The character builds and attitudes reminds me of anime (especially in the way they are voiced) in the best possible way.

As far as having your setting being a closed time loop in a more or less closed space, the author does an excellent job keeping the cohesion and coherence.
